Guillaume asked about the Phaistos Disk:

>how do we know it was a text ?<

Well, to me first of all it really looks like one, and I understand well why
so many people have been obsessed with trying to decipher it - it brings us
a mysterious message from ancient times - and we can't read it!

But it obviously even has a complicated pattern of rhymes (a fact you might
judge from certain repetitions of signs)!

And for a game it is too small (c.12cm diameter), I think.
