Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete, probably the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture.
It has been substantially and imaginatively "rebuilt", making the site accessible to the casual visitor in a way that a field of unmarked ruins is not.

    Have you read John Dempsey's 1996 novel "Ariadne's Brother: A Novel on the Fall of Bronze Age Crete"? Makes Mary Renault's "King Must Die" seem like a harlequin romance

    Thanks a lot for your comment and the video response. How very interesting to see Knossos then and now!
    The video was taken on a rainy afternoon in March which explains the lack of people. Glad you like the music. Hope you can return some day. Best wishes!

    I love the music, and I am totally impressed at how there isn't a single person showing in this normally very busy tourist attraction. The music you've selected leave me wanting to return to this very special place. Good work!
