I’ve been to the Palace of Knossos on Crete. Beautiful place, laid out neatly on a small hill overlooking the countryside and coast with a 360 degree view. You look over massive, ancient olive tree groves and tilled fields that have been worked for thousands of years.

Some of the fresco colors are still vibrant even after 3000+ years.

Imagining what it looked like in its heyday... Must have been magnificent!

Yes, and it was common for Minoan women to walk around bare-breasted. They were an advanced civilization in more ways than one.
