One artifact from this civilization is a clay disc with a unique script winding to the middle.
One artifact from this civilization is a clay disc with a unique script winding to the middle. That artifact's most common glyph is the "Mohican profile" or "plumed head," which may also appear on a votive double ax of these people. That artifact is called the Phaistos Disc. Wolf-Dietrich Niemeier uncovered evidence of a colony of these people at Miletus, including tablets with one of their (*) scripts, supporting Herodotus's claim that Lycians were originally these people. Michael Ventris discovered another of their scripts was actually Mycenaean when he deciphered Linear B. Some of the first archeological evidence for these people came from Arthur Evan's excavation of the temple or palace complex of Knossos. For 10 points, name this civilization, named for a mythical king with a labyrinth.
