Mystery Behind Phaistos Disk

This giant sugar cookie is a head-scratcher, for sure, but there are some interesting theories out there. Discovered in 1908 in Crete, this 6-inch diameter clay disk dates back to around 1700 BC and features 241 “words” created out of 45 individual symbols, arranged in a spiral.

It could be a sort of ancient "sheet music" to a hymn or prayer dedicated to matriarchal deity, or maybe it's an ancient proto-typewriter? Who knows? It sure looks delicious, though.
