After having recognized the prototype for a calendar in the P.D.
inscription, I continued my study in a more untraditional way by
puzzling together the hieroglyphs in various ways in order to refine
that calendar. This was an on-line happening. The result was a lot of
qualified proposals with a tendency towards a variation of the
Egyptian seasonal calendar, which had four 30-day-months per season
and each month was divided into three dekans of 10 days. In the end of
the year was a five days intercalation.
It leaves certaintly some unanswered questions; The calendar on the
P.D. disc is for instance not written out in a linear form, but it is
disclosed through quantities, whatever is the explanation for this
special usage. The continuation of the unravelling of the details in
the inscription is no longer a task for a single person (me), but is,
through my publication, left over to the hundreds (or thousands) of
bright heads, who share my interest for this exciting piece of
epigraphy from Crete. - The craddle of Europe - .
With regards
