"I’ve 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).

It may have been introduced by extraterrestrials who traveled to Earth aboard Cattlecar Galactica. But that’s even less likely. ;’)
