There’s just over a week to join us to discover the Palace of Knossos and the search for the Labyrinth.
These watercolours imagine what some of the original rooms of the Palace would've looked like. 🧵

Checked out the #LabyrinthAshmolean exhibit today & the most lasting impression was a reminder of just HOW MUCH we’ve filled in the rather large gaps in history with what is often a stretch or obvs informed by the bias at the time. Interesting, just not in the way I expected!
Throughout history we have been fascinated by the stories and symbolism of the Cretan Labyrinth & the Minotaur that was said to lurk within. You can explore the myth in our current exhibition #LabyrinthAshmolean: https://t.co/EgY8sUP4m1

There is much to learn of Minoan Crete & the role of women at #LabyrinthAshmolean. Women are prominent on frescoes/ objects in the Palace of Knossos. Some suggest Minoan Crete was a matriarchy; others that women’s importance was religious, as priestesses of a mother goddess. You?

This object weighs 29kg, a standard weight in the Eastern Mediterranean which was known as a ‘talent’. It would've been used to weigh commodities such as textiles & metals for trade. See this and more intriguing octopus-inspired Minoan objects at #LabyrinthAshmolean. 🐙
