English translation by Richard Winston of "Whoin der stier Europs Trug' "Hans Wunderlich is a geologist who happened to be in Crete in 1970, when he took the opportunity of visiting Sir Arthur Evan's celebrated reconstruction of the so-called Palace of King Minos at Knossos - the legendary labyrinth where Theseus once defeated the dreaded Minotaur. This chance visit drew him into one of the greatest archaeological mysteries of all time, for one contradiction struck him after another in the 'established' interpretations of the Minoan culture. His geologist's eye found clues that the early archaeologists had missed, the technical man asked questions to which no-one seemed to have the answer. He soon concluded that what he was gazing at was not a palace at all, but something more sombre and perhaps even more significant. This book is the author's attempt to resolve the paradoxes that have obsessed the archaeological world ever since Evan's spectacular find." An interesting theory ."that the Palace of King Minos was not the bustling centre of gay courtly life but was, instead, a necropolis - a city of the dead "" 367p. illus. diagrs. maps. bibliography. index.
