Knossos | The Ancients

The legend of the Minotaur and its labyrinth has captivated us for centuries, but is there any evidence of it really existing?
In this episode, Tristan visits the Ashmolean museum in Oxford to interview Dr. Andrew Shapland, the curator of a new exhibition exploring the Bronze Age settlement of Knossos in Crete - the home of the mythical King Minos, the Minotaur and the labyrinth.
Together they explore ancient artefacts that hint at human sacrifices being carried out, and find out through archaeological evidence if there is any truth behind the myths.

Hi, loved the podcast so came to see the video hoping to see what was discussed. Am I at the wrong place?

I enjoyed the podcast very much! I hope in the near future History Hit would make a full documentary of the Minoan civilization and synthesize various scholars research and findings.
