The main argument for suspecting the Phaistos Disk to be a hoax has
been summarized as follows :

The signs of the Phaistos Disk are a jumble of often
completely
unrelated objects, the sources of which date from Egyptian tomb
reliefs and
Anatolian objects of the mid-2nd millennium BC to 6th century BC
Attic
vases.

To what, I've already answered :
"a jumble of completely unrelated objects"?..
Not at all !.. ALL these objects are related to "Cycladic
Civilization", to "Greek Civilization" and to the "Peoples of the
Sea"
as represented on Egyptian monuments!.. Plus some "characters", like
"the ram" or "the feline head", etc. WHICH ARE UNIVERSAL...
And, as a general rule, the design of these can be found later in
Attic-Euboean vases.
To what one may add that the hieroglyphs, which are supposed to have
been "inspired by the Luwian Hieroglyphic script" are all dubious.
They also represent characters or objects belonging to the "Peoples of
the Sea Civilization".

So, the "main argument" of the Minerva-paper can receive another
interpretation than the Disk being an hoax : THE DISK BELONGS to the
PROTO-IONIAN CIVILIZATION evidenced by J. Faucounau. A terrible
conclusion for the followers of the "Risch-Chadwick Theory" !!!!!

The dismissal of the hypothesis that four Phaistos Disk's signs would
have been "inspired to Luigi Pernier" by Luwian
Hieroglyphs is important. So, I repeat here what I wrote in another
thread :

Anyone who is interested has already read it in another thread. Stop
doing this.
