But seriously... I’ve often wondered if the “bull-leaping” in the Minoan frescoes was somehow related to Mithras.

"Ive often wondered if the bull-leaping in the Minoan frescoes was somehow related to Mithras." It very well could have been. There's been evidence of the practice found in the Indus Valley and Anatolia. Not sure if it spread from east to west, west to east or sort of developed independently (which I would think is the least likely).
