Did you know that the Minotaur from #Greek #Mythology is connected to a real #palace?
Knossos was the main palace of the Minoans, a people located in #Crete, #Greece during the #BronzeAge.
The labyrinthine palace had many decorative double axes (”labryses”) on the walls.
The Labrys was likely used to sacrifice #bulls, which played a big part in Minoan #religion.
In turn, the Minoans were possibly influenced by the #Ancient #Egyptians & their #sun #god Ra, who rides a heavenly cow.
