Decoding the Phaistos Disc: History’s Greatest Archaeological Mystery

Is the Phaistos Disc, one of history’s most enigmatic artifacts, actually a modern forgery? This documentary follows the trail of what could be one of the greatest archaeological scandals ever. The investigation begins in the ancient palace complex of Phaistos, Crete, where the disc was discovered in 1908. Renowned North American art dealer and forgery expert Jerome Eisenberg argues that the artifact is not of ancient origin but rather a clever 20th-century hoax. Despite decades of study by linguists and archaeologists, its symbols remain undeciphered. Could the disc be history’s most elaborate deception, or is it a lost relic of an unknown civilization?
