Phaistos Disc, side A Phaistos Disc, side B Hempl's translation of the opening lines of the disc, from Harper's Magazine [1]: p.196 Many people have claimed to have deciphered the Phaistos Disc.

I find pretty funny that Gbrunner considers as "a NPOV" (sic) to make believe the Wikipedia readers that only "enthousiastics" would say that the decipherment of the Phaistos Disk is theorically possible, and denies as a fact that all the scholars who have applied the Shannon's Formula to the Phaistos Disk agree about the value (c.225 signs) of ...
