There seems to be something amiss with your memory. You have
"informed" us of this dozens of times already.

I could have told you the same remark if there was not a big
difference between Peter Daniels ans me : Peter Daniels doesn't
believe in your "solution" because he has written in his book that it
is a WRITTEN artifact, and that "nothing suggests that a verifiable
decipherment will ever been achieved". His references are J.P.
Olivier, Y. Duhoux and J. Chadwick. In other words, he follows his
Bible...

This _proves_, M. Faucounau, that you have no comprehension of
attributions and authors. The passage you are presumably alluding to
was not written by me, but by Emmett Bennett.

It doesn't matter very much !.. Whatever the priest, the Gospel is the
same : the "Risch-Chadwck Theory", which makes "impossible" (sic) the
EXISTENCE of Proto-Ionians during the Early Bronze Age !!!!
See the paper I convinced J.Faucounau to publish in ANISTORITON :
Search for

upon View Points : VO13 of Vol.5/2001.

As for myself, I don't believe either in your "solution", but at the
difference of Peter Daniels, it's not because I follow some "Bible",
written by some "authorities". it is for the reasons that I gave you
ten times : you started from a remarkable discovery : the abnormal
frequency of the "stems" in the text. But from there, you drew totally
FALSE conclusions : that it was not a text -- that it was an 8 months
Calendar -- etc. And to "justify" your conclusions, you accepted
strange hypotheses as true, like the number of the glyphs was 244 !..
The most inexplicable in my eyes is that you seem not to understand
why anybody can't follow you on the path you took. Your SELF-DELUSION
is for me a strange mystery !

Kettle, meet Pot. I just can't help but comment that this is coming from
the person who justifies *his* conclusions by telling us they come to
him when he closes his eyes and hums.

Writing such a FALSEHOOD is the proof that YOU have NEVER seriously

Ionic Solution",

I deleted them because I wasn't referring to them. I was referring to
you hypocritical attack on Hagen's method, coming as it was from someone
whose own method is inane.

Still RIDICULOUS !...
1)- I have never pretended to have deciphered the Disk. I started a
few years ago with the intention of WRITING a BOOK on the Phaistos
Disk, and to fulfill my goal I began to SERIOUSLY study ALL the
published "solutions". (AS far as I know, I have been to this day THE
ONLY ONE to do so). Then, I stumbled upon J.Faucounau's papers (he had
published no book at that time), and found them very convincing,
compared to all the other solutions. Since then, I've given up writing
a book, but I have spent a lot of time DEFENDING on the NET the Proto-
Ionic Solution. (See for instance the several threads entitled "Le
Disque de Phaistos et les 40 Mensonges" I published on
fr.soc.histoire.antique).
2)- If J.Faucounau's "method" has not been published, except by
fragments in diverse not-easy-to-find journals (for some, I've had to
ask directly a copy to the author), its general lines are well-known :
he started by diverse "Calculations of Probabilities" in order to
determine the type of script and the probable language, and found
(after several years of calculations) that "the best probability" was
in favour of a "special type" of SYLLABIC SCRIPT and a IONIC-type
LANGUAGE. When he said that, at the beginning of the 1970, to several
specialists, he was told that "this was IMPOSSIBLE", so he didn't
publish his calculations, just later a paper (in 1975) "to fix the
date" with his "Probable Grid". He spent the next 25 years to SEARCH
for PROOFS. Between the end of the 60ies and 1975, he had found that
the script WAS ACROPHONIC, so he could ENTIRELY DECIPHER the TEXT
(It's about that time that I've exchanged a correspondence with him).
It is therefore COMPLETELY FALSE to talk about "an inane method" about
the way J.Faucounau has reached the Proto-Ionic Solution. If you has
made the effort to be INFORMED BEFORE WRITING, you would have avoided
writing NON-SENSES... But BEING INFORMED before TALKING is NOT you cup
of tea, right ?.. A TOO scientific attitude for you, probably... Like
seriously studying the EVIDENCE in favour of the Proto-Ionic
Solution...

POST-SCRIPTUM : As for what you call "my hypocritical attack" of
Hagen's method, it comes to my mind a reflexion made by J.Faucounau
when I showed him, several years ago, the Hagen's book and asked about
his opinion. He said to me something like this : "Well, I thought that
I had been the only one to have noticed the abnormal frequency of the
"stems". I see that Ole Hagen has also discovered it. What a pity he
did not draw the consequences of this fact !.."

I didn't say you did. I didn't even imply that you'd ever had any

I have sometimes some trouble understanding what is written, but as

I will write it the same way, with emphasis: "I was referring to
YOUR hypocritical attack on Hagen's method, coming as it was from
someone whose own method is inane." Who do you think a hypocritical
attack described as YOURS was coming FROM?

So, my first interpretation was correct, in spite of your remark !..
Nice to know, that, as a simple witness trying just to INFORM other
people, I have "a METHOD" !!!!

I am not a believer in psychology, or astrology, or the rest of the

sneaking disciplines, as the new authority.
For instance, if you are a fag, or if you suffer from discalculia:
Learn to live with it (it might even have its advances)
My revelation of a hidden system beyond language was for the Phaistos
disc, what Ventris' grid of greek syllables were for the linear B. -
Simply the solution!
