Marylyn Whaymand: Ancient Cretan Knowledge - Whose Was It & Where Did It Come From? FULL LECTURE
Subscribe here: Intrigued by Ancient Cretan society in the Early Bronze Age, Marylyn is currently researching evidence for the impact that ancient knowledge had on Early Bronze Age Crete and traces where this is likely to have come from. With a journey starting in c. 7000 BC, we are taken through the crisis of c3195 BC to the emergence of the Cretan proto-cities taking place between 2100 -- 1900 BC.
After gaining first class honours in Classical Studies at Queen Mary, University of London, Marylyn was awarded a British Academy scholarship for postgraduate studies, taking an MA in Archaeology at UCL. She studied the Bronze Age Aegean with Cyprian Broodbank; the Levant and ancient Egypt with Peter Parr and undertook doctoral research with Chris Tilley, studying ancient Swedish petroglyphs, gender and landscape, and visiting the prehistoric rock carving sites in Northern Sweden and Bohuslan. Marylyn is also a healer and complementary therapist and has recently set up a workshop/therapy studio in Shalford, North Essex.

Nanno Marinatos: The New Minoan religion: Was Evans or Nilsson Right?
Seminar by Professor Nanno Marinatos entitled The New Minoan religion: Was Evans or Nilsson Right?
Swedish Institute at Athens, January 16, 2018
Seminar Abstract
The controversy between Sir Arthur Evans and Martin P. Nilsson about monotheism in Minoan Crete of the palatial age was famous in the 1920s. Some hundred years later, though, we may wonder whether Evans or Nilsson were proved right.
It will be argued that new finds from Crete, Thera and the mainland (especially Poros, Crete and Pylos, Messenia) absolutely justify Evans’ conception of monotheism (by which he meant one chief deity dominating over others). The principal deity of Minoan Crete consistently shown as an enthroned goddess/queen associated with the sun disc and the moon consistently. I will therefore be arguing that the female deity in question is a solar sky goddess, similar to Isis, something that Evans foresaw. Because he had understood on the basis of the iconography that she controlled all the domains of the cosmos. Additionally, I will argue that the young male figure who accompanies her is her son, exactly as explained by Evans. The new evidence will show additionally some aspects of her worship.

Adeyto????MINOAN MYSTERIES of HERAKLION CRETE ???? Minotaur ???? Icarus????????Ariadne ????️ Huawei P20 PRO
Their women wore bare-breasted dresses because they were equal to the the men and actually even higher ranked in their matriarchal BRONZE AGE society of the Minoans of Crete. So amazing to witness their genius crafts and artifacts at the Heraklion museum and the Palace of Knossos ruins!! There are so many legends related to Crete and their King Minos who had a Labyrinth built by Daedalus to imprison there the Minotaur monster, and then his beautiful daughter princess Ariadne helping the hero Theseus with her red yarn ball that he unravelled in order to find his way out of the Labyrinth after killing the monster. And then the legendary tragic death of Icarus the son of Daedalus the architect of the Labyrinth! Not to mention that it is speculates that Atlantis was also here and it sunk in the ocean when Thera the Santorini ???? Volcano erupted and destroyed everything around provoking the end of the Minoan Civilization and their incorporation in the Mycenaean one from mainland Greece. So much history to marvel at!!!????????????
The Minoan civilization was a Bronze Age Aegean civilization on the island of Crete and other Aegean Islands which flourished from c. 2700 to c. 1450 BC, before a late period of decline, finally ending around 1100 BC. It preceded and was absorbed by the Mycenaean civilization of ancient Greece.
The Minoan civilization is particularly notable for its large and elaborate palaces, some of which were up to four stories high, featured elaborate plumbing systems and were decorated with frescoes.
The most notable Minoan palace is that of Knossos, followed by that of Phaistos. The Minoan period saw extensive trade between Crete, Aegean and Mediterranean settlements, particularly the Near East.
Through their traders and artists, the Minoans' cultural influence reached beyond Crete to the Cyclades, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan and the Levantine coast and Anatolia. Some of the best Minoan art is preserved in the city of Akrotiri on the island of Santorini, which was destroyed by the Minoan eruption.

Approaching Landscape Transformations Through Urban Micromorphology at Bronze Age Palaikastro, Crete
At Bronze Age Palaikastro, Crete, archaeological sequences are defined by destructive events, which provide snapshots of cultural material in a particular time and space. Evidence for occupational phases is mainly based on materials found above floors/surfaces, while evidence for transitional phases is largely based on the accumulation of sediments and debris between floors/surfaces. Micromorphological evidence can correspond to both occupational and transitional phases and assist in determining the extent to which landscape transformations affected the urban site during particular phases. Two general microfabric groups are observable in the Palaikastro sediment thin sections: (1) more rounded, sorted sediment grains deposited gradually by coastal/river flooding or aeolian processes, and (2) coarser, unsorted sediment grains deposited rapidly by slope processes. Moreover, these two microfabric groups may be correlated with occupational and transitional phases, respectively. Group 1 tends to be found immediately beneath larger debris sequences and may be related to periods of gradual accumulation (and more stable slope conditions) that coincided with active use of the new site area and/or initial abandonment. Group 2 tends to be found after episodes of gradual accumulation and is representative of periods of rapid sediment accumulation, which indicate slope instability, and which coincided with gaps in active occupation and/or prolonged abandonment. While the causal factors of the gaps in occupation phases and intervening transitional phases cannot at this time be attributed to particular socio-natural pressures, based on this
micromorphological study, one may conclude that periods of slow sediment accumulation may have preceded gaps in occupation phases. At the newly excavated area of Bronze Age Palaikastro, it appears that significant, slope-derived depositional episodes occurred immediately after MM I-II, MM III - LM IA (possibly with a first debris flow phase occurring post-MM IIIB), during/at the end of LM IB, and at the end of LM III occupations.

Egyptian Art : same color as Greek, minoan, Etruscan, Lybian Peoples 2018
Egyptian Art can be quite telling thru symbolism and use of colors, here we see a continuity of skin color used for Greeks, etruscans, minoans, Lyberians as well as Egyptians, with thier Pale wives: denoting that she didn't have to Toil in the Sun all day... And that He did the Work. It's a Caucasian thing of devotion to a Woman that some people don't do or understand.
