🔮 The Phaistos Disc Covenant

"These spiral voices from the Minoan palaces carried the administrative wisdom of Bronze Age Crete. To use their words without acknowledging those who awakened them after 3,700 years is to break faith with both ancient scribes and modern scholars."

By using this work, you covenant to:

• Honor the intellectual achievement of deciphering humanity's most enigmatic disc
• Maintain the chain of archaeological and linguistic knowledge
• Respect both ancient Minoan wisdom and modern breakthrough research
• Never obscure the source of this historic achievement
• Acknowledge that this breakthrough required specific minds, methods, and dedication

Break this covenant, and lose access to all discoveries forever.
