520			_aA splendid court or a city of the dead? When in 1900 the great English archaeologist Arthur Evans began his excavations of the Palace of King Minos at Knossos in Crete, his discoveries astonished the world: evidence of a splendid, flourishing culture in the Bronze Age! Evans's theories have been accepted as dogma by scholars and archaeologists and have been the basis for what has been taught about pre-Cretan history in schools and universities for the past seventy years. In the secret of Crete, Hans Georg Wunderlich demolishes Evans's theories and proves them to be completely false. He shows, with irrefutable logic, that the Palace of King Minos was not the bustling center of gay, courtly life but was, instead, a necropolis a city of the dead! Imagine future archaeologists uncovering twentieth century cemeteries and mortuaries and trying to reconstruct our whole civilization.
