History is a fascinating tale of twists and turns. When it comes to historical movies, they can be both captivating and misleading. Take, for instance, 'Chaava.' Let's ensure our historical knowledge goes beyond the big screen to avoid creating a nation of zombies. #knowledge #historybuff#quotes

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.
