Alexander Murdoch Mackay, Presbyterian missionary to Uganda, laments the arms trade. “Royal robbers” profited from arms sales to slavers. The rights of everyday people are “more divine” than those of royalty. Traders support kings who’d be deposed in Europe.

Is much of our view of security and prosperity in developing countries made soley through the lens of what is good for “royal robbers”?

How can you consider the rights of the poor?

ALEXANDER MURDOCH MACKAY (1849-1890) A.M. McKay, pioneer missionary "The rights of poor men, who wish to live lives of peace, are more divine than are the rights of royal robbers and murderers [who export guns to slavers]. Why, if a king in Europe were to do once only what is done here daily, he would not long wear either a crown or a head to put it on."

For centuries, Knossos was regarded merely as a city of myth and legend until it was unearthed in 1900 CE by English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans.

The excavated site, adorned with frescoes, shed light on the Minoan sport of bull jumping and made the ancient tale of Theseus and the Minotaur (a creature that was half-man and half-bull) seem less fantastical. During bull-jumping, male athletes engaged closely with the bull as they leaped over its horns. This practice likely inspired the ancient perception of the 'myth' of the Minotaur, as these athletes appeared to embody the traits of both men and bulls. And, the discovery of the palace's complex layout lent credibility to the legend of the labyrinth.

It was Evans who first referred to the ancient inhabitants of Crete as 'Minoan,' named after King Minos of Knossos. His excavation and reconstruction efforts, though controversial, laid the groundwork for all subsequent research of Minoan civilization.

Sir Arthur Evans was the first one to excavate Knossos, so we own him for finding this hidden gem - till then it was though Knossos is a mythical place. Unfortunately, he also got himself some paint and went on to "restore" some ancient frescoes. The results were, to put it mildly, not impressive.
