Phaistos Crete, the palace of Phaistos

[@paulfillingham2958]

I visited the palace over 30 years ago. What an eerie place it is. Everyone on the tour was silent while there unlike the rest of the tour.

The more one sees it the more astonishing it reveals itself to be. Henry Miller called it "The palace of the queens."

@loraraan, Thanks for the information. And thank God for that. The reconstruction of the Knossos´s Palace was a mistake.

The Minoans worshiped the moon! Structuring the text of the Phaistos disс shows that it was copied by the disс manufacturer, or with inscriptions made in the form of three bilateral axes, or with inscriptions on the very similar axes (labrys) from palace or cave sanctuaries. The text is a list of the dedications of the main rulers of Crete to the moon god. One of these axes, the largest, four-blade, could also be used as a kind of lunar calendar. The disс itself, the moon on the full moon, is a kind of portable version of these initiations. These initiations were made in order to receive the blessing of the god of the moon. It is possible that the number of dedications of each ruler depended on the number of buildings he had (palaces and villas). Hence, and one more destination of the Phaistos disс is a charm in the form of a snake coil (the inscriptions on the disс after all in a spiral) for these buildings and all living in them, tk. The Minoans believed that the serpent in the house brings God's blessing. The Phaistos disс was made before the largest earthquake in 1700 BC. Who destroyed the early palace. Since the disс, as a guard, did not take this palace from destruction, it was later "punished" - disguised as a layer of plaster in the main cell of the building's hiding place.
