So, I repeat here what I wrote in another thread :
Anyone who is interested has already read it in another thread.
How can I know, when there are no reactions ?..
There are no reactions because people are not interested. I think I've
said it once to Ole Hagen: people usually get interested in deciphering
scripts because knowing how to read one artifact you know how to read
other artifacts using the same script, and possibly decipher related
artifacts. This applies not only to scripts but to everything, the
delight in understanding a particular thing lies in no small part in the
way it brings other things closer to you. One-of-a-kind items - be they
the PD or some weird disease someone caught in 1856 and nobody's ever
heard of either before or since - are just not interesting to the human
mind. This is also why facts which don't fit established scientific
theories are disregarded - there is no clear way to integrate them. (The
last sentence will be fodder to all our beloved kooks, but in fact
they've got nothing to hold on to: no kook has ever presented a
scientifically *novel* way to address irregular facts, what they present
is commonplace mumbo-jumbo which they think is original just because
normal people don't lose 5 minutes with it.)

Sometimes my ears nearly not believe what they hear. One of the most
challenging enigma's ever heard about, is suddently of no interest?
This famousdiscfromPhaistos, which has withhold all attempts of
deciphering over a time spand of a hundred years and therefore
released by the scholars for you and me to try our hands at. Every
child's dream of being a new Ventris, because of the full-seize
pictures of this artifact in almost every encyclopedia through
generations, is of no interest anymore? This unbrokendiscwith its
handsome hieroglyphs, talking to the imagination of everyone,
comparable to the Gordian knot (in two), the quadrature of the
(calendar) circle, the secret of the (calendar) pyramid. What kind of
zeal is this?
Nice declamatory spech, Ole !.. All my congratulations for it !
But you must understand : Antonio is a good soldier. He follows the
leader. And the leader has said : "Let us forget about thisPhaistos
Disk, which obliges us to abandon our DOGMA... Spread around the
word : People, go your way ! There is nothing to see !"...
Could it be caused by some dirty gambling in > connection
with my decipherment?.
Of course, not, Ole !.. Don't be such an ego-centric !..
