 'Archaeology': Priestess Tomb Unearthed On Crete Author: Dan Vergano Source: USA Today Title: 'ARCHAEOLOGY': PRIESTESS TOMB UNEARTHED ON CRETE An unearthed tomb on Crete reveals a dynasty of priestesses reigned on the isle during the "Dark Ages" of ancient Greece. In an Archaeology magazine report, writer Eti Bonn-Muller details the results from last summer's excavation of a tomb at Orthi Petra at Eleutherna on Crete, where a team found the burials of a high priestess of Zeus and three acolytes this summer. "People then may have considered them sorceresses, or intermediaries with the gods," Bonn-Muller says. | |

Ahr-Ohn (Bridgeport, Connecticut) - Email Me Do they mean 700 BC? They seem surprised that Crete had trade with Egypt and Arabia, in that period. This was a long time after Noah stabilized Arabian Civilization, and even a couple millenia since Zeus Apollonius set himself up as a Cattle Baron on that quiet isle. A priestess of Zeus, btw, is rather vague, since Zeus was the title of any Deva of masculine incarnation. I do recall Europa dancing with three little girls, when she wanted to distinguish herself as no longer a child, so that may have started a trad. Arawn Graalrd |
