Palace Precinct
Notes: Game on...on the radio...Orioles and Angels...bottom of first...one down...Trout up...so, in reading of Mycenae, I come across something I happened on reading about the Moche...the Moche made pottery models of houses, and it turns out the motifs on the houses are being found on the mud brick temples and pyramids, and too the motifs on costumes, textiles, correspond to the public buildings...Trout waps a double...Ohtani up...I went on about this back a ways...

That pdf has a variety pics....and author nails it down that the models are models of real buildings, and maybe specific buildings...the step motif she suggests is a real thing that made a fence too...sacred enclosures with fences....

Moche potters worked creatively within the restrictions of their chosen medium, the ceramic vessel, using both painted imagery and sculpted forms together to communicate identifiable aspects of specific structures found in the Moche ceremonial precinct, or huaca.

so, oh...Ohtani with a W, and on the ball four pitch, it gets away from Orioles catcher, and Trout to third on the wild pitch...so, reading yesterday's pdf file I linked, I find this:

Let us move to the second part of this article which will focus on the question: How should we assess the artistic relationship between the fresco iconography on architectonic walls and other art forms? It has been assumed that pronounced differences existed between the iconography of Aegean seals and that of wall paint-ings due to contrasting formats and distinct artistic forms; only seldom did connections between them ex-ist.
With assumptions such as these, however, we underestimate the essentially uniform ‘palatial’ character of Aegean Bronze Age iconography. Especially in the arts of Neopalatial Crete, regional predilections can scarcely be recognized, nor are any specialities of individual commissioners detectable
. Furthermore, it is astonishing that we can recognize hardly any fundamental changes in the development of Aegean iconogra- phy from the 17th to the 13th century; this can be demonstra
exchanged and combined in different ways. Thus, vignette-like seal motifs such as these strongly support the exis-tence of some kind of ‘pattern books’ in Neopalatial Crete
Pini’s idea that a collection of clay sealings could have functioned as models, ‘masterdrawings’ or ‘pattern-books’ enabling the dissemination of standardized iconographical motifs into different artistic media is very convincing
Regarding the original models of more complex iconographical scenes at a larger scale, though, it appears more plausible to postulate three-dimensional models,
I have to confess that – in contrast to the title of the present conference – my approach was anything but theory-based. Neither did I touch on social structures, nor was the aim of Aegean art to represent ‘realities’. However, one point becomes clear when we investigate the existence of iconographical cycles and the inter-relationship of different art forms: Aegean iconography was essentially a matter of strictly ‘palatial’ concern, well comparable to what is called ‘palatial architectural forms’
Therefore, it might be doubted whether a ‘non-official iconography’ of isolated, individual or private character ever existed during the palatial periods of the Aegean Bronze Age.

Here again, Roman coins document the image of the Pharos with great refinement. These coins often use the Pharos to symbolize a powerful navy and a growing empire. For example, it features prominently on the reverse of a copper drachm minted in A.D. 133 for the Emperor Hadrian. The Pharos is depicted with Isis, the patron goddess and keeper of the lighthouse.

The subject's expression, which is frequently described as enigmatic,[10] the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modeling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.

To the west and entered through an off-centered doorway is the Throne Room proper, named after the stone throne (Europe’s oldest) set against the north wall and flanked by stone benches which also extend along the west wall and in front of the parapet which separates the area around the throne from the Lustral Basin to the south. Flanking the throne, as well as the door leading out of the room to the west, are pairs of large, antithetical wingless griffins; the throne is also immediately bounded on both sides by a palm tree directly above an example of the so-called “triglyph-and-half-rosette” pattern, here possibly to be understood rather as an altar with incurved sides.
... ... ...
On the Ayia Triadha sarcophagus, libations are being poured into a {krater}, or mixing bowl, set between the bases of two tall columns. Each of these columns is capped by a double axe on which sits a bird. The columns are covered with green projections and so may be intended to resemble trees (date palms?) or simply to be columns covered with leaves. Leaves in the form of lengths of the foliate band pattern sometimes substitute for the handles of double axes in vase-painting, while branches are often set up between “horns of consecration”. On seals, a tree often appears inside a small enclosure in the presence of worshippers and appears to have the same function in such a context as the columns or baetyls discussed above.

Fragment of red marble (rosso antico), from the façade of the Treasury of Atreus.
The decoration consists of half-rosettes set in pairs opposed; between each pair, a triglyph in the centre of which are three vertical running spirals. Above and below, squared bead pattern. The wall line shows in the middle; there are two dowel holes on the top near the left end and another near the right on the underside. The slab has a battered surface, the thickness on the two beds being about a centimetre different.

We see a female figure atop a mountain here who must surely be the epiphany of the deity. The mountain is flanked by two lion figures, an image highly resonant with later Greek images of the goddess Rhea and the numerous depictions of the deity flanked by griffins, two of which are discussed below. She is greeted by a saluting male figure whose body displays the same tense arched-back posture seen in the Amnisos ring and numerous peak sanctuary figurines. The image of the deity on the mountain strongly resonates with the notion that many epiphany rituals took place at peak sanctuary sites.

The so-called Minoan Genius first made its
appearance in the Mediterranean of thesecond Millennium BCE. In the
archaeological literature, this Genius is
described as a fantastic, demonic or even
monstrous creature with significant features
as a wolf-, lion- or dog-like head and an
insectoid body in reference to its pinchedwaist
or even wasp-waist and carapace
(fig. 1). A beak-spouted-ewer is carried by
this creature as an adjunct attribute.
The earliest version of this Genius occurs onMiddle Bronze Age Crete, depicting a
creature with a strong reference to the
Egyptian goddess Taweret.

Back to the shields: The figure-eight shields appear to have been framed of wood and/or wicker and covered tightly in cowhide. This would have made them very effective as drums. Rhythmic dancing to a thumping drumbeat is one of the simplest methods of entering trance, used around the world and across time to bridge the worlds.
So the next time you look at an image of a figure-eight shield, in addition to thinking about Bronze Age warriors, consider the shield's use for Bronze Age priests as well.

The Phaistos Disk pictograph of a dog scratching fleas is compared with Minoan cylinder seals of dogs scratching fleas. Is there some special meaning about which leg the dogs use to scratch?
... ... ...
The circle above the great dog could read "star" and the figure 8 symbol to the left, two stars combined, could read "star group" or constellation, in this case Great Dog, Canis Major, with the largest star in the sky, Sirius. The figure 8 might therefore be a pictograph for constellation, logically so because the stars are infinite, and we might also use it as a clue to the solution of the Phaistos Disk maze puzzle.

The fact of orientation links up with the fact that there early arose a close association between various gods and the sun and various fixed stars. Whatever mass of people outside were thinking, the priests of the temples were beginning to link the movements of those heavenly bodies with the power in the shrine. They were thinking about the gods they served and thinking new meanings into them. They were brooding upon the mystery of the stars. It was very natural for them to suppose that these shining bodies, so irregularly distributed and circling so solemnly and silently, must be charged with portents to mankind. This clear evidence of astronomical inquiry and of a development of astronomical ideas is the most obvious, but only the most obvious evidence of the very considerable intellectual activities that went on within the temple precincts in ancient times. Outside the temples the world was still a world of blankly illiterate and unspeculative human beings, living from day to day entirely for themselves. (H.G. Wells, The Outline of History)

World Brain is a collection of essays and addresses by the English science fiction pioneer, social reformer, evolutionary biologist and historian H. G. Wells, dating from the period of 1936–1938.[1] Throughout the book, Wells describes his vision of the World Brain: a new, free, synthetic, authoritative, permanent "World Encyclopaedia" that could help world citizens make the best use of universal information resources and make the best contribution to world peace.

Does the border of the Bull Leap fresco present a Minoan calendar? Before we try it further with Great Year astronomy, and among the remains of its Minoan era, here is a summary of evidence so far.
The throne of Knossos is aligned to receive direct sunlight on Winter Solstice. The disc-and-crescent carved into the throne’s front facing match contemporary acknowledged lunar/solar symbols, and those have likely reference to the calendric timing of ceremonies and festivals.

Some Knots were made of costly ivory or faience, and painted or physically mounted on a wall, as if produced and posted to the purpose of some social meaning. They also often appeared with figure-8 shields. While shields are sometimes read as “thunder” signs, they are as frequently literal shields, another possible connection to Minoan “men in the service” on land and sea.
