The Phaistos Disc is a disc of fired clay from the Greek island of Crete, dating possibly from the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (second millennium BC). It bears a text on both sides in an unknown script and language, and its purpose and original place of manufacture remain disputed. Discovered in 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier, the disc is made of fine-grained clay, intentionally and properly fired, and is approximately cylindrical with a diameter of around 16 centimetres (6.3 inches) and a thickness of almost 2 centimetres (0.79 inches), with rounded edges. The disc is an early example of movable-type printing, with the embossed signs that comprise its inscription resulting from separate stamps that were pressed into the soft clay before firing. It has captured the imagination of amateur and professional palaeographers, and many attempts have been made to decipher the text, which comprises 241 occurrences of 45 distinct signs. The Phaistos Disc is now on display at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum on Crete.Artefact credit: unknown; photographed by C messier; edited by Bammesk Meta • News • Books • Wiktionary • Source • Commons • Mailing lists • Stats • Portal | |

Presentation
[edit]Hi, my name is João and I'm from Portugal. I joined Wikipedia on 17 August 2004 and my first edit was on the article Portugal. I'm happy that my first edit was on a country that I am very proud to live, but I only realised that my first one was on Portugal almost two years after. Also of note, is that the second article I've edited was on a Portuguese clown: Batatinha! My major fields are History of Portugal and Portuguese politics, and to a minor degree, Portuguese football. I have an extensive work in three articles: John III of Portugal, History of Portugal (1578-1777) and History of Portugal (1777-1834). I'm also the founder of The Portugal Portal and a minor contributer, since I only sporadically update the news. You can also see my work in the ongoing process of creation/improving of the articles of Portuguese royal family members, and also in the templates on the four Portuguese dynasties: Template:House of Burgundy, Template:House of Aviz, Template:House of Habsburg and Template:House of Braganza. Regarding lists, I've been quite active in the promotion of List of Presidents of Portugal and List of Portuguese monarchs to featured status, and I'm currently working on List of Prime Ministers of Portugal. I was also a (incredibly) minor editor in the also featured List of municipalities of Portugal. In the end, I'd like to say I consider myself a little IPA-pronunciations-maniac, since every article that seems Portuguese to me immediately receives an IPA pronunciation.
Here's a list of my edits:
- Nr. 1 Portugal
- Nr. 10 Batatinha
- Nr. 50 Rádio e Televisão de Portugal
- Nr. 100 SuperLiga
- Nr. 500 Template:Football in Portugal table cells

- Nr. 6000 Celorico de Basto
- Nr. 7000 Mary Frances Benedicta, Princess of Brazil
- Nr. 8000 Template:House of Aviz
- Currently: 8518 (482 to reach 9000)
