Unraveling the Knossos & Minotaur Legend 🐂

Unravelling the Mystery of Knossos and the Minotaur'

The legend of the Minotaur and its labyrinth has captivated us for centuries, but is there any evidence of it really existing?

History Hit presenter Tristan Hughes visits the Ashmolean museum in Oxford to interview Dr. Andrew Shapland, the curator of a new exhibition exploring the Bronze Age settlement of Knossos in Crete - the home of the mythical King Minos, the Minotaur and the labyrinth.

Together they explore ancient artefacts that hint at human sacrifices being carried out, and find out through archaeological evidence if there is any truth behind the myths.
