1. We read left to right because that the is way the heads and people are facing.
2. We read in a circular pattern starting from the center and working out to the edge.

This is a page from Halley’s
Bible Handbook, 1965
edition, page 44. Back in
that day all bible Scholars
believed in a pre-flood
world. today no one talks
about it. Notice what they
are calling pre-flood (ante-
Diluvian) writings have
similar symbols and line
dividers for each word just
as the Phaistos Disk does.
