WARRIORS GUARDING THE PERIMETER
Warriors Guarding the Perimeter

Warriors Guarding the Perimeter14 Phaistos Disk Warrior images may point to Minoan mercenaries along the Nile. Perhaps Minoans paid handsomely for access to the Great Pyramid, and traveled with warriors for protection. (And fourteen is about how many I would want to take with me today :)

No warriors are visible in these ferries (below) so perhaps they were encamped in Egypt. This seems possible because archaeologists recently discovered Minoan settlements in Egypt. Could it be the warriors were encamped there and available for "tourists" such as these?

COMMENTS

These pages are very rich with material about Crete. In the words of the Author, Claire Grace Watson, B.A., M.S.T. "The disk is a Minoan wave spiral (left) on which is depicted the Aegean world of Minoan Crete, including a cave, a boat, a pyramid, a star, planets, a constellation, geometry, math, and everyday life in Crete that mirrors the stars above. (S. Voronan, Otonet.gr)
