Solving the Ancient Mystery of Knossos and the Minotaur
'Unravelling the Mystery of Knossos and the Minotaur'
The legend of the Minotaur and its labyrinth has captivated us for centuries, but is there any evidence of it really existing?
History Hit presenter Tristan Hughes visits the Ashmolean museum in Oxford to interview Dr. Andrew Shapland, the curator of a new exhibition exploring the Bronze Age settlement of Knossos in Crete - the home of the mythical King Minos, the Minotaur and the labyrinth.
Together they explore ancient artefacts that hint at human sacrifices being carried out, and find out through archaeological evidence if there is any truth behind the myths.

History Summarized: Minoan Greece
The classical Greeks weren't the first kids on the Aegean block. Long before Athens' golden age, before Homer, and even before the Trojan War, there was a civilization on the island of Krete. The land of King Minos was home to beautiful palaces, a fascinatingly-complex economy, and something approximating Bull-Cthulu. It's a fun time, let's jump in.

The Ancient Minoans: The First Civilization In Western Europe | Island Of Minotaur | Odyssey
The mysterious island of Crete has always loomed large in imagination, as the home of the Minotaur -- that monstrous creature, half-man half-bull -- imprisoned in Daedalus' labyrinth. Before Crete collapsed in fire and violence, it gave birth to Europe's first civilisation nearly 5,000 years ago, and boasted an advanced, prosperous Mediterranean civilisation.
Odyssey is your journey into the world of Ancient History; from the dawn of Mesopotamia to the fall of Rome. We'll be bringing you only the best documentaries that journey into the mysteries and ruins of worlds long lost.

The Minoans and Mycenaeans: Civilizations of the Bronze Age Aegean
The Minoans and the Mycenaeans were both powerful civilizations of the Bronze Age Aegean, and often they are through to follow one after the other. However, this comparison video will detail through some of the similarities and differences between the Minoans and Mycenaeans, and the transmission of culture, practices and art which occurred between the two groups.
The Palace of Knossos is the most famous of the Minoan palatial centres, with its iconic bull leaping fresco and labyrinthine architecture layout. The prominence of the bull at Knossos links it to the mythological story of Theseus, King Minos, Ariadne and the Minotaur. The palatial centres of Mycenaean Greece are smaller than those on Crete, and we know more about how the centres functioned due to the Linear B archives, with the...

The Mycenaeans had fortifications so large around most of the centres which were called 'Cyclopean', with the most outstanding being at Mycenae and Tiryns. However, they are not found at the site of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos. The grand centres of the Minoans did not have any type of fortifications, potentially due to different threats.
The Minoans and Mycenaeans shared facets of their cultures with each other, however due to the Minoans being present on Crete earlier than the Mycenaeans on mainland Greece, the Minoans had a greater influence on the Mycenaeans, rather than the other way around. They had a preference with trading with each other, and the Mycenaeans chose to be buried with a great number of Mycenaean crafts, and adopted many of their iconographic motifs.

The Minoan Palace of Knossos, located on the island of Crete, is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece. As the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete, it served as the political, cultural, and religious center of the Minoan civilization. The palace, which dates back to approximately 2000 BC, is renowned for its complex architecture, vibrant frescoes, and advanced infrastructure, including an elaborate drainage system.
Knossos is often associated with the legendary King Minos and the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth. The site was first excavated by Sir Arthur Evans in the early 20th century, revealing a sprawling complex with over 1,300 rooms. Highlights of the palace include the Throne Room, the Grand Staircase, and the Queen’s Megaron, adorned with stunning frescoes depicting dolphins and other sea life.
The palace's intricate layout and advanced construction techniques showcase the sophistication of the Minoan civilization. Artifacts such as pottery, tools, and ceremonial objects found at Knossos provide valuable insights into Minoan life and culture. The site also includes extensive storage areas, indicating a highly organized society with complex trade networks.
Today, Knossos is a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world to explore its ruins and learn about the ancient Minoans. The combination of historical significance, mythological connections, and archaeological discoveries makes the Palace of Knossos a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
