Minoan Double Ax
Notes: Game on...on the radio...Orioles and Angels...top of second...two down...oh, Orioles are just outplaying the Angels...single drives in two runs...Orioles 4-0...this going to be a long game trying to come back...Tropiano on mound for Angels...four walks and a hit batter, just two or three hits, and some weak plays by Angels...and, a home run!...three more come across...Orioles 7-0...fly out...to bottom of second...I didn't link it, but somewhere I saw a Minoan double ax with a right spiral on one blade, and a left spiral on the other...try to find it again...be a bit...

The name labyris derives from Lydian labrys, meaning ”double axe”. It has given name to the word labyrinthos, which in Minoan and Greek meant”Home of the Double Axe”. Thus the Labyrinth of Knossos, the temple, was essentially related to the labyris.
... ... ...
Marija Gimbutas believed that the labyris was a symbol of the Goddess as butterfly. The various stages of the life cycle of this insect can be seen as representing the cycle of life, death and rebirth – or resurrection.

Large Labyrs or double-axe (mirrors) could be rested on the so-called stone ‘horns of consecration’ for signalling and coordinating fleet. Peak Sanctuaries likely used for solar observation and astronomy, as well of observing coastal approaches and shipping lanes. You can see the ware and repair on the artefacts below. N.B. The double axe is gravity cast flat in copper and would be approximately 85% reflective when polished on the ‘A’ side.
that's an ingenius take!...from a page with an ingenius premise!

Is there any ancient technology from the past that we still don't understand today?

‘Double axe’ marks are used for datums on Minoan buildings as a shadow is cast on the mark precisely at typically Equinox.

Birds illustrated, which also feature on the bow and stern posts of Phoenician ships, unfortunately, no surviving Minoan white hulls have yet been found, however, a small Minoan Shipwreck has recently been found but results are yet to be published.
A possible reason is that caged birds face (longingly) towards the port they were exchanged in, this has been well established by scientific studies, they scuff the bowl in the cage, cover one of the bird’s eyes and they lose this ability, incredibly it looks as if they exploit a quantum effect as light as a wave rather than a particle, e.g. the two slit experiment.

A closing thought, here is a casting stone to make many copies of an orbital calculator (manual). As you can see the device on the left, can be used to express angles as fractions of opposite and adjacent, that are the underlying elements of trigonometry, and particularly useful for orbital calculation, for example, to establishing the seasonal offset due to Earth’s axial tilt to accurately determine latitude.

myself, I've thought the double ax is like the Saint Andrew's Cross...the simple 'X', which, like the spirals, stylizes the passage of the sun from solstice to solstice...the curved ends of the ax blades indicating this...much like the wings on scarabs can be seen to do in Egyptian motifs...I dunno...for sometime!...

Why, too, did Minoans place a Bull-leaping scene at the heart of their calendar? Bull was the wildest monster they knew for representing nature and life. The male and female leapers’ relationships to it are celebratory, cooperative and competitive—all in a sacred and human context that is both “one day, today” and the circle of eternity. Has something of the Minoans’ long-successful wisdom about power itself come down to us in the spirit of today’s Olympic Games?

and, and, that's where this reach was headed!...yesterday too, one of the sites went on about the Bull leaping being astronomy related, and I got to looking at the flipped upside down bull leapers...this a 'pose' I've seen elsewhere, and elsewhere too that the 'pose' represents Hathor arced over like the night sky in Egyptian iconography...the 'pose' in mind is the famous Egyptian topless dancer, which I went on about back a ways...Orioles make out...to bottom of seventh...

this isn't a unique painting...dancers in poses like this are on walls...and I thought is Egyptian dance, like everything, was highly ritualized, each post a representation...Hindu dancing is like this, I think...for sometime, dance poses!...anyway, well, let me get Hathor arching over...brb...

This writer postulates—based on MacGillivray's considerations—that by incorporating the demi-god Perseus' rescue of his mortal lover into the bull-leaping tradition may serve to join the various aspects of religion (mythology, star charts, etc.) with what the ancients believed was their factual history. Thus, perhaps MacGillivray's interpretation is intended to indicate the Minoans copied an image they saw in the stars, and ascribed a religious purpose to it based on their mythological "history". (Again, this is the author's hypothesis based on research including MacGillivray's article).

Last year i emailed Bethany Hughes a oh so British establishment Hellenic woman's history author and presenter of the now outdated "Atlantis the evidence" and now rarely seen being at the grey end of TV yoof history asking for her TV historian opinion of my theory that the famous bull leaping Toreador fresco in Knossos is an Astronomical image depicting not bull leaping but embracing the bull the sun as leaper passing between two earth goddesses across the dappled bull hide of the night sky

this bull leaoing design is also seen on the Vaphio vase but taken as showing a sporting event only
... ... ...
To the Kerkassoi the changing life bearing sea assumed the role of a Kalanash, a transforming Therian outsider world where the souls of the dead transformed into the Octopi, Dolphins and dog headed sea creatures seen on the vases and paintings and an understanding of symbolic Astronomy aided them in crossing this fearful Kalanash to reach trade harbours and return

Taurus is one of the oldest observed constellations, and has been variously connected with the abduction of Europa, the seduction of Io, and the Cretan Bull.[8] The Taurid meteor shower is named after the radiant point in the constellation Taurus, from where they are seen to come. Occurring in late October and early November, they are sometimes called "Halloween fireballs".
It is one of the oldest constellations, dating back to at least the Early Bronze Age when it marked the location of the Sun during the spring equinox.

The first formal compendia of star lists are the Three Stars Each texts appearing from about the twelfth century BC. They represent a tripartite division of the heavens: the northern hemisphere belonged to Enlil, the equator belonged to Anu, and the southern hemisphere belonged to Enki.
