The jars are made to contain gifts of oil brought for Queen Minos by the petitioners to the court of human rights at Knossos. The construction of Knossos is amazing. The columns are upturned tree trunks (so they stopped growing) placed on alabaster earthquake proof disks The outer veneer is crystal to refract changing coloured lights. There were over a thousand buildings of 3 + levels in Crete from 7000 to 1600 BC when Santorini ( Thebes ) Island irrupted and a tsunami wiped out the Minoans.
Myths exploded at Queen Minos' palace Knossos. Two thousand women came and worked daily at the court of human rights. See the Prince of Lilies. Half man half woman, looking upwards above reproach. The eagle and the lion signify that the female judges' verdicts have no appeal. See her throne (the chairs are built for women). Hot and cold running water, air conditioning, Montessori school, theatre, actor's pavilion. Beautiful jewels, Team sports, men red, women white, bull jumping. No Minator.
those reliefs and colors were repainted. those aren't original portrays or colors
