THE PHAISTOS DISC _ COLCHIAN GOLDSCRIPT
This paper presents the information on deciphering by the author the complete text of the four-thousand year old first imprinted religious-literary document _ the Phaistos Disc. The document is widely known, and has not been read until today _ it has been read by the author in the Kartvelian/Georgian language _ Colchian.
The History of the Phaistos Disc
The disc was discovered on the 3d of July of 1908 by an Italian archaeologist L. Pernier on the island of Crete, in Phaistos _ the town excavated by archaeologists. It was conventionally dated 1850-1600 BC; the disc is a clay plate of 6 inches (approximately 16 cm) in diameter, and weighs 380 grams. The disc is kept in the archaeological museum of Iraklion (Gallery 3, box 41, #EP-1358), the main port of Crete, Greece.
In 1992 a fragment of a clay plate that resembles the Phaistos Disc was found in Vladikavkaz. V. A. Kouznetsov published the results of his analysis of the fragment in his paper “Une Énigme Archéologique du Caucase.” (2001). The originality of the Vladikavkaz Disc itself is considered doubtful by some researchers, though.
Some attempts of deciphering the set of the Phaistos Disc signs as the ancient languages signs (e.g. of Ionian-Greek dialect, Cypriote, Hittite, Luwian, Philistine, Egyptian, Semitic languages, etc) have been presented by a number of researchers [e.g. G. Hempl (1911), F. M. Stawell (1911), A. Cuny (1914), F. G. Gordon (1931), B. Schwarz (1959), B. Fell (1973), P. Ballotta (1974), J. Faucounau (1975), G. Ipsen (1976), L. Pomerance (1976), V. Georgiev (1976), H. P. Aleff (1982), R. Burduladze (1986), D. Otto (1988), S. R. Fisher (1988), O. Hagen (1988), H. Haarmann (1990), K. Aartun (1992), D. Ohlenroth (1996), S. V. Rjabchikov (1998), H. Wenzel (1998), H. Roolvink (1999), E. Polygiannakis (2000), A. Martin (2000), F. Will (2000), Ja. A. Jaraliev (2001), A. Hausmann (2002), K. & K. Massey (2003), A. Th. Vasilakis (2003), M. G. Corsini (2003), W. Achterberg, J. Best, K. Enzler, L. Rietveld, F. Woudhuizen (2004), E. Kurdadze (2004), R. Vieni (2005), T. Timm (2005), H. Whittaker (2005), D. Rumpel (2006), etc].
The disc was studied by L. Pernier, Sir A. J. Evans, A. Della Seta, A. Kober, M. G. Ventris, J. Chadwick, and V. J. Kean.
Special researches on the disc were written by Y. Duhoux, L. Godart, Ch. Henke, G. A. Owens, D. Rumpel, T. Timm, and others.

Of special interest is the hypothesis of an Austrian researcher H. R. Zebisch on the possible language of the Phaistos Disc; the hypothesis is presented in his book “Pelasgisch: Eine Iberische Sprache” (1988). Zebisch argues that the language of the pre-Greek population, namely, Pelasgian “is the mother of Kartvelian languages”. In 1988, in Budapest/Hungary, at the 18th International Congress of the Committee EIRENE, he declared that the language of the Phaistos Disc is proto-Georgian _ Colchian.
The hypothesis on the relationship of the language of the pre-Greek people and Caucasian languages was put forward by W. F. Humboldt, P. Kretschmer, A. P. Meillet, E. Schwyzer, F. Schachermeyr, S. Kaukhchishvili, A. Chikobava, S. Janashia, V. Georgiev, A. Urushadze, E. J. Furnée, T. V. Gamkrelidze, R. Schmitt-Brandt, R. S. P. Beekes, R. V. Gordeziani, Z. K. Gamsakhurdia, and others.
My Results of Deciphering the Phaistos Disc
A long time research and study of Kartvelian languages enabled me to draw the following conclusions:
1. The language of the “Cyrbis” created by Colchian Corybantes, that means that the plate-letter _ the Phaistos Disc is Kartvelian/Georgian, namely, Colchian _ Mingrelian-Laz;
“According to classical sources, Corybantes were priests of the matriarchal Goddess Cybele of the Pelasgians living in the pre-Greek era, in the period of autochthonous tribes and pre-Hellenic period on Crete... Corybantes, who were supposed to be the creators of the script _ Cyrbs, were Colchians closely connected with Lemnian Cabeiri, the protectors of iron metallurgy and smiths.” (A. Urushadze).
“Some call the Corybantes, and not the Curetes, "Phrygians", but the Curetes _ "Cretes", and say that the Cretes were the first people to don brazen armour in Euboea, and that on this account they were also called "Chalcidians"; still others say that the Corybantes, who came from Bactriana/Bactria [the present northern Afghanistan], some say from among the Colchians, were given as armed ministers to Rhea by the Titans.” (Strabo).
Some data on “Cyrbeis”/pillars (Greek: pl. kyrbeis, sing. kyrbis <= Colch.: k’iribi _ lamb (V. Sichinava); Colch.: dok’iribua _ print, imprint, stamp) were preserved by the Greek authors: Cratinus, Lysias, Plato, Theopompus of Chios, Timaeus, Apollonius of Rhodes, Aristophanes of Byzantium, Apollodorus of Athens, Strabo, Plutarch, Phoetius, and Suda, etc.
“Colchians preserve the writings of their forefathers, graven on pillars (kyrbeis), whereon are marked all the ways and the limits of sea and land as ye journey on all sides round.” (Apollonius of Rhodes).
Mingrelian-Laz (Colchian/Kolkhian) belongs South Caucasian, i.e. Kartvelian/Georgian family of languages spoken by the people of the Black Sea coast (the present West Georgia, provinces of Samegrelo/Samargalo _ Mingrelia/Megrelia/Mengrelia/Megralia, Abkhaz and north-east Turkey: Rize, Khopa, Arkabe, Vitse, Atina, etc). Mingrelians (“Margalepi” in Mingrelian) call their own language “Margaluri Nina”, and Laz (“Lazepi” in Mingrelian) _ “Lazuri Nina”. “Mingrelian and Laz are Colchian languages”, according to Professor A. Shanidze.
Colchian language was spoken by the pre-Olympic Titans, the Sun-god Helios and the daughter of the Oceanus, Perseis’ children: King Aeetes of the Aea-Colchis, Queen Pasiphae, the wife of king Minos of Crete, goddess Circe of the mythical island of Aeaea. Aeetes was the father of Medea, Chalciope, and Apsyrtus. “So Medea told all she [Circe] asked _ the daughter of Aeetes of the gloomy heart, speaking gently in the Colchian tongue.” (Apollonius of Rhodes).
“[Medea] began to say a long prayer in Colchian dialect.” (Diodorus Siculus).
“At the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC the ancestor of Mingrelian-Chan _ “Zan” dialect already existed... Aeetes, the king of the country of Aea and his successors... spoke west-Georgian dialect the continuation of which today’s Mingrelian and Laz.” (T. V. Gamkrelidze).
2. The pictorial signs imprinted on the disc are the specimens of “Colchian Goldscript”;
The dates about “Colchian Goldscript” (Greek: khrysographia <= khrysos; Georg.: okhro; Mingr.: orkho _ gold) are mainly given in the works of Greek authors: Euhemerus, Haraxes of Pergamum, Joannes of Antioch, and Eustathius of Thessalonica.
3. The text of the Phaistos Disc is a hymn “Nenana” dedicated to the protector of “Aea-Neshkari”, Great Mother Goddess Nana/Rhea-Cybele of Macrones/Macroneans of Pelasgian-Colchian tribes;
Later in Christian Epoch, the monks of the Iveron monastery on Mt. Athos in Greece chanted to “Nenana” as to the Holy Mother of God (Bishop Porphyri Uspenski, 1877).
My research confirms:
1. The basic idea of Sir A. Evans, J. Chadwick, J.-P. Olivier, H. R. Zebisch and F. Rougemont that the set of signs on the Phaistos Disc is a text;
2. V. J. Kean and H. R. Zebisch’s hypothesis that on side A of the disc the central symbol of the Sun _ "Aea" _ the eight-petaled rosette is the initial sign/syllable;
3. On side B of the disc the central symbol of the Moon _ "Thutha" _ the Colchian crown is the initial sign/syllable;
4. L. Pernier’s hypothesis that the vertical line with five points on sides A and B denotes the end;
5. L. Pernier, Sir A. Evans, V. Georgiev, H. R. Zebisch, V. J. Kean, K. Aartun, D. Ohlenoth, D. Rumpel, S. V. Rjabchikov, C. Henke, A. Martin, H. Roolvink, K. & K. Massey and M. G. Corsini’s arguments that pictorial signs should be read from left to right, i.e. from the centre to periphery;
6. The partial coincidence of the syllables deciphered by J. Fauconau, B. Fell, H. R. Zebisch, D. Rumpel, M. G. Corsini, and by myself;
7. The hypothesis of Sir A. Evans about the inscription being a hymn to the Goddess of fertility and Earth.
The details of my work in deciphering the Phaistos Disc can be found in my book that will be soon published in Georgian and English.
