Mysterious Disc Found
The Phaistos disc, another mysterious artifact

Archeologists from St. Petersburg unearthed a disc, covered with mysterious symbols, which dates back to the Bronze age.
      
      Sandstone disc was discovered near the town of Tuapse (Krasnodar territory) during diggings of a dolmen, covered with 3-meter thick soil layer. The dolmen’s treasures were unbothered for 4 thousand years.
      
      The finding is 27 cm in diameter, and its centre has several symbols, meaning of which still remains unknown. Scientists suggest that some of said signs can symbolize Sun and Moon, and mysterious disc could have served for astral fortune-telling of ancient inhabitants of the region.
