CONSTELLATION ARGO ON THE PHAISTOS DISK

The Argo on the Phaistos Disk is "backwards." The Phaistos Disk Argo shows how the Minoan's drew the original constellation, so the modern constellation has been drawn "backwards" for at least 2,300 years. We may owe this reversal to Aratos (310-245 BCE), a Greek court philosopher and astronomer who is widely cited for writing:
"Sternforward Argo by the Great Dog's tail
Is drawn; for hers is not a usual course,
But backward turned she comes, as vessels do
When sailors have transposed the crooked stern
On entering harbour; all the ship reverse,
And gliding backward on the beach it grounds.
Sternforward thus is Jason's Argo drawn.
As you can see, the Minoans drew the constellation sailing bow-forward, not stern-forward, which makes plenty of sense because it is sailing in the direction the stars are moving.
Constellation Argo depicted sailing stern-forward.  In this Phaistos Disk image of the picture perfect constellation Argo, the sails are a great pyramid that
sit atop the boat. This makes me wonder if the Egyptians conceived of the idea of the Great Pyramid as being in the sky and sailing along as
part of the Constellation Argo. That would help to explain the presence
of the boat at the Great Pyramid. Could the pharaoh have believed that the Great Pyramid would be his house after death and that his
house would be taken up with him in it, at least in spirit, along with his entourage to Osiris, to sail with the god in his barque?
The constellation was also known as Barque of Osiris, that which conveyed the god Osiris through the heavens.
Through a transformation of myth, this became the Greek legend of Jason and the Argonauts who sailed across the heavens in the Argo as they
searched for the Golden Fleece (left, pictograph on the disk).
Or does this represent the "starship" the Minoans' alien visitors arrived in near Crete during the Mediterranean Bronze Age?!?!
GREAT STAR (SIRIUS?) ON THE PHAISTOS DISK

As you can see, this man is holding the disk as a shield at his belt. The Phaistos Disk may be a template for a
Bronze Age shield, perhaps the legendary shield that became known later on in history as Shield of Achilles. Or there is the possibility this
indicates stars in constellation Orion, such as Orions's Belt. Could this be a prototypical Zeus holding the Disk of the World?
Whatever it may be, this pottery art masterpiece contains a beautiful artistic design that, when colorized and animated,
seems ultra-modern and not at all 3,600 years old. Does this indicate the Minoans believed the Star Sirius, the mother Isis/Rhea, is shielding us? Is this, perhaps, an image of our planetary shield.
Drag me! The Phaistos Disk perhaps was created by early Egyptian and Minoan astronomers, with maybe a little help from somewhere else :)

basement in the Phaistos palace. This pyramid drawing may indicate that another
such disk was placed below the pyramid in the subterranean chamber or at least
the Golden Fleece could be found there.

FOLD OUT FIGURE 8 SHIELD & MINOAN WAVE SPIRAL
OUT OF THE LOOP? SOLVE THE PHAISTOS DISK MAZE
The solution of a maze is the
uninterrupted path through an intricate pattern of line segments from a starting point to a goal.
The disk has a combined sixty line segments and two large spirals, each with five levels.
The starting point of this maze is the center of Side A (top disk with flower at the center),
the goal is the center of Side B (bottom disk with wave at the center). To solve the maze,
find the uninterrupted path through the line segments of all the spirals, from A to B and back.
Before reading the solution, notice that the images above are dragable and take a clue from this Phaistos Disk pictograph of a bald man
with the figure 8 on his cheek (astronomer-priest). An astronomer-priest would know about infinity.
The Minoan wave spirals (see below) are created by moving from the center of Side A and
crossing over to the center of Side B and back via the 4th level spirals on both sides. The matching
connecting line segments direct the movement from Side A to Side B but also prevent travel in the outer
spirals on either side. To see the Minoan Figure 8 shield and incorporate those spirals, merge the two
sides of the disk by overlaying the perfectly aligned connecting line segments. To achieve this, drag
the bottom image onto the top image and overlay the connecting line segments. Now all the spirals are
connected and the movement of the figure 8 shield is discovered.
Start at the center of Side A and trace the spiral around to the 4th level, cross over
to the outer spiral on Side B, cross from that outer spiral to the outer spiral on Side A, cross from the
outer spiral on Side A into the 4th spiral on Side B and travel to the center. Then make the same journey
in reverse, each time creating the movement of a figure 8.
To emphasize the spirals, I erased the pictographs from the disk, leaving only the spirals
and line segments. Then I placed the two sides together at the matching line segments.
Wave spirals and Figure 8 shields in the art of Minoan Crete.
Now you can see how to start at the center of side 1, the side with the flower in the center,
and trace the spiral around to the 4th level, cross over to the outer spiral on side 2, cross from that outer
spiral to the outer spiral on side 1, cross from the outer spiral on side 1 into the 4th spiral on side 2 and
travel to the center. Then make the same journey in reverse, each time creating the movement of a figure 8.
The two sides of the disk connected create a flowing figure 8 wave spiral that
moves uninterrupted from the center of one side of the disk to the other and back again and incorporates
all parts of the spiral. In the horizontal position, it creates a Minoan wave spiral. In the vertical position,
it creates a Minoan figure 8 shield (right). (Left, Minoan pottery with
geometric orientation - wave spirals and figure 8 shields. Below, Minoan wave spirals ceiling design with 8-petaled flower at the center
[as seen on Side 1 of the Phaistos Disk]).
THE PLEIADES ON THE PHAISTOS DISK
PHAISTOS DISK PATTERNS COMPLETE THE HOLY TRINITY OF EARLY ASTRONOMY
SIRIUS, ARGO NAVIS, THE PLEIADES
The location of the Lion Pictographs on
the Phaistos Disk Reveals the Pleiades
Did these astronomers use the lion to create an image on the Phaistos Disk of the Pleiades? If they did, perhaps it comes from the Egyptian lion goddess Sekhmet, the inference being the Pleiades are goddesses. We know the Pleiades as the Seven Sisters but perhaps the Egyptians and Minoans deified them so they were the seven goddesses, or eight goddesses as there are eight lions on this side of the disk. The Pleiades on the
Phaistos Disk completes the ancient astronomy holy trinity of Sirius, Argo Navis, and Pleiades.
