Maybe the star on the disk, a pentagram inside a heptagram, is the star Sirius inside the seven known planets, or perhaps it is the path of Venus. In ancient civililzations, when the people had a mythical view of the world, it was the similarities of things and ideas that fascinated their minds. The star on the disk probably represented many similar things: constellations, Sirius, path of Venus and even more.

In history, there is a so much information about Sirius, about its place of importance in the lives and concepts of Egyptians and apparently Minoans. Their Sothic Calendar was based upon its movement.

In the mysticism of the ancient Isis-Osiris religion, the pentagram inside the heptagram is supposed to represent Sirius surrounded by the seven known planets. The members of that ancient religion are generally believed to have been conducting their mysterious rituals inside the Great Pyramid, perhaps in the subterranean chamber and perhaps using that design as a religious symbol or magical talisman. Was the artist(s) who did this was one of them or could their group have done it?

Another wagon wheel illusion and perhaps another pictograph-in-motion. The heptagram appears to be spinning counterclockwise, perhaps indicating the Milky Way. It might represent the circumnavigation of the stars or perhaps it conjectures about stars as being the composition of spiral galaxies.

I think the Phaistos Disk (above, blue) was created by an ancient Minoan astronomer-priest and inventor, Daedalus, which could also have been the name of a group of Minoan and Egyptian visionaries, inventors and artists.

If the 48 unique pictographs on the disk represent our 48 constellations, they would need to be "abbreviated" to fit the disk. That would make them difficult to identify. For example, the entire constellation Taurus might be represented by the bull's foot on the disk (left) or all of Capricorn could be represented by the horn (left) or Aries represented by the Ram pictograph (above).

The Minoans may have included the symbols for the constellations in much of their art and not just on the Phaistos Disk. Is this just an impossibly huge dog on a bead-seal or could it represent the "Great Dog constellation," Canis Major and the "dog star" Sirius? The circle above the great dog could read "star" and the figure 8 symbol to the left, two stars combined, could read "star group" or constellation, in this case Greater Dog, Canis Major, with the largest star in the sky, Sirius. The figure 8 might therefore be a pictograph for constellation and it is also a clue to the solution of the Phaistos Disk maze puzzle. If it is a sign for constellation, this would make the puzzle solution even more a-mazing!

A pictograph used as a constellation abbreviation that made perfect sense to the Minoans and was immediately recognizable by them might make no sense to us at all. For example, why would the ancient Egyptians use a cow to symbolize the sky?? And while the number of constellations, 48, remains the same, the Minoans may have drawn the constellations differently or the constellations may have evolved into something quite different over time. (Perfect Canis Major showing the location of the major stars and Sirius, right, revealed when the five identical Boat signs on side 2 are connected with lines.)

Then I read the unique interpretation that the disk describes the history of [Thisea] and [Argonayton] from [Kler] [Goyatson] (Claire Grace Watson): It showed how the conjunction with lines of similar symbols on ton disk they gave the depiction of [gnostoteron] constellations. And then I remembered what connected the Disk of [Faistoy] with the [yperdoynabioys] Thraces that reported [Fokoyno]: In 2002 [bre] [thike] in Nebra of Saxon a cupreous disk of diameter 30 hundredth with golden astrological representations of age of 3.600 years. (Gia Kvashilava in Georgian,The Secret Alphabet of the Phaistos)

Staring into the Phaistos Disk for so long without knowing the star was there connected me to the ancient ideas and people of this Aegean world who convened in the pyramid. I flew into them via the universe's power of the falcon god Horus, a function of the subconscious mind, becoming a member of their Egyptian mystery school by being there.

Could the Sunflower pictograph in the center of the Phaistos Disk be the identification of the Sunflower Galaxy?
