Updated Cipher Mysteries home page…
Just a quick note to say that I’ve been working behind the scenes for a few weeks on a revised Cipher Mysteries home page, incorporating a nice clickable list of what I think are the top unsolved cipher mysteries of all time, some of which you may not have heard of:-
- (–Top secret, yet to be announced–)
- The Voynich Manuscript
- The Anthon Transcript
- The Beale Papers
- The Rohonc Codex
- The HMAS Sydney Ciphers
- The Tamam Shud Cipher
- The D’Agapeyeff Cipher
- The Codex Seraphinianus
- The Dorabella Cipher
- The Phaistos Disk
Note that the HMAS Sydney Ciphers part isn’t yet live, because I haven’t written the post yet (probably later this week). 
I may update the list later to insert the Vinland Map at #7, but that’s another story entirely…
Incidentally, the reason I ranked the Voynich Manuscript at #2 is because the top spot will be filled (hopefully fairly soon) with an awesome centuries-old cipher mystery I’ve been chipping away at for a while, one that will be eerily familiar to many CM readers. Don’t hold your breath, but I do think you’re going to like it a lot…

Jan: Excellent! Perhaps you would like to disclose three or four consecutive letters from somewhere in the plaintext as a dated proof of solving? Also, have you checked your solution with an expert cryptologer? I’m happy to do this off-list for you, or to suggest any number of people you might like to contact. Best regards, ….Nick Pelling….

My compliments for your spellbinding site! You can cross off the Phaistos Disk as a cipher or as any kind of writing. There is plenty of evidence that it recorded the path of a board game similar to the Egyptian Snake Game and Senet, and surviving in today’s children’s Game of the Goose. See http://www.phaistosgame.com/volume1.htm. Enjoy that surprising story, as well as the almost self-explanatory title page of the combined volumes 1 and 2 at phaistosgame.com/phaistos1booktitlepage.htm that shows the reconstructed gameboard and will be published next Spring.
Best wishes,
