    I live 15 mins from the palace of Knossos, it&apos;s always been a big attraction, but to anyone visiting I recommend mostly the archaeological museum, everything is gathered there. Mind-blowing stuff!! ❤

    Maybe my favourite historical culture - perhaps in part for their mysterious nature.

    My aunt married a man from Crete. He was a sheep herder. He was raised in the hills above Knossos. <br><br>His family wouldn’t let him go out among the tourists because he had a hunchback. <br><br>My aunt was the plainest of four sisters, but her and uncle Pete had three sons, 6’ 3”, 6’ 1”, and 6’. All had jet black, wavy hair and bright blue eyes.

    For a civilization so dependent on ships, there are no ships portrayed in their art unlike Akrotiri.

    The deciphering of minoan writing would be a major event in history/archeology. It would be thrilling to access the beliefs and thoughts of a people without fortifications and more importantly such an appreciation for beauty!

    Sounds like a place I would have liked to live.

    I&apos;ve visited the museum on Crete and the site near Heraklion. I will never get over how beautiful their women&apos;s fashions were. The colours and the layered look were incredible, as was their pottery. It shows how wealth they were that their civilization could support such skilled artisans.

    I have been twice to Crete and visited Knossos . The museum down by the sea is awesome. At a store across the museum i purchased a large bronze bull head.. just beautiful, but very hot in the summer ☀️.
