Around 2,200 BC the Minoan culture on the isle of Crete develops into the Minoan civilisation they were known to revere bulls and the myth of the Minotaur and labyrinth would later develop on this island they also had a humanoid bee Goddess later known as the “Delphic Bee” who was originally known as the “pure mother bee” or “mistress” and had priestesses called “Melissa” meaning “Bee”, the connection between bulls and bees here may connect to the Egyptian Apis bulls mythology. The Minoans also had a Goddess depicted holding two snakes with a sacral knot of cord across her breasts she was a Goddess of the houshold and may have been an earth Goddess, Goddess of poisons, remedies, snakes and/or animals and was known to have some relation to silence as a religious practice perhaps indicating secrets and mysteries. Similar designs were found in Egypt. The Minoans also venerated double-axes called “Labrys” which may have some relivance to the Minoan “Labyrinth” these were likely weapons of war or ritual tools of sacrifice and may have been a symbol of the mother Goddess. The Knossos was also built on Crete and is thought to be Europes oldest city before being abandoned some time between 1,380-1,100 BC.
