This is the remark of someone WHO OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T KNOW the file.
Writing such a FALSEHOOD is the proof that YOU have NEVER seriously
read WHAT YOU CAREFULLY DELETED, i.e. the PROOFS supporting the "Proto-
Ionic Solution",

I deleted them because I wasn't referring to them. I was referring to
you hypocritical attack on Hagen's method, coming as it was from someone
whose own method is inane.

Still RIDICULOUS !...
1)- I have never pretended to have deciphered the Disk. I started a
few years ago with the intention of WRITING a BOOK on the Phaistos
Disk, and to fulfill my goal I began to SERIOUSLY study ALL the
published "solutions". (AS far as I know, I have been to this day THE
ONLY ONE to do so). Then, I stumbled upon J.Faucounau's papers (he had
published no book at that time), and found them very convincing,
compared to all the other solutions. Since then, I've given up writing
a book, but I have spent a lot of time DEFENDING on the NET the Proto-
Ionic Solution. (See for instance the several threads entitled "Le
Disque de Phaistos et les 40 Mensonges" I published on
fr.soc.histoire.antique).
2)- If J.Faucounau's "method" has not been published, except by
fragments in diverse not-easy-to-find journals (for some, I've had to
ask directly a copy to the author), its general lines are well-known :
he started by diverse "Calculations of Probabilities" in order to
determine the type of script and the probable language, and found
(after several years of calculations) that "the best probability" was
in favour of a "special type" of SYLLABIC SCRIPT and a IONIC-type
LANGUAGE. When he said that, at the beginning of the 1970, to several
specialists, he was told that "this was IMPOSSIBLE", so he didn't
publish his calculations, just later a paper (in 1975) "to fix the
date" with his "Probable Grid". He spent the next 25 years to SEARCH
for PROOFS. Between the end of the 60ies and 1975, he had found that
the script WAS ACROPHONIC, so he could ENTIRELY DECIPHER the TEXT
(It's about that time that I've exchanged a correspondence with him).
It is therefore COMPLETELY FALSE to talk about "an inane method" about
the way J.Faucounau has reached the Proto-Ionic Solution. If you has
made the effort to be INFORMED BEFORE WRITING, you would have avoided
writing NON-SENSES... But BEING INFORMED before TALKING is NOT you cup
of tea, right ?.. A TOO scientific attitude for you, probably... Like
seriously studying the EVIDENCE in favour of the Proto-Ionic
Solution...
