To some people, anything that they don't understand is a temple or a religous artifact.

I read an article in one of the archaeology magazines years ago that convinced me that Knossos was a necropolis.

I hear they had great plumbing. Why do the dead need plumbing?

How about the so-called "Throne Room?" (Was that for the occasional "Evita" who got to sit up, though dead?) And how about those magazines or storerooms with all those amphorae? And the frescos depicting people outside palaces, moving about? If these palaces are NOT the palaces (of the living royals), where ARE those palaces?

Of course! Once the Minotaur had his way with them, they were probably then laid to rest in the palace area..... ;)
