Ancient Minoan Costumes

[yellow_fever_01]

I have been fascinated by the costumes worn by ancient Minoans since I was a schoolboy. In middle school I gave a presentation about Ancient Greece that was illustrated by a filmstrip (remember those?) that included an image of the famous "Snake Goddess" statuette.

I understand that in Versailles, noble women used to wear gowns with extreme decolletage, but they had nothing on the Minoan women, as this 2018 exhibition from Melbourne's Hellenic Museum showed.

I also like the outfits, would be fun to bring that to real life in a village that people can tour or set up some kind of yearly event for people to visit where all the women dress like that

If you go to Crete, you can see the original Goddess in the Museum of Heraklion.

The Minoans had a good time in Crete, bevore the catastrofi

They found many things in the ground at the archeological sides; Paintings, Mosaics and more you can see there.

Played for me. I used Google Chrome in Incognito mode.

Edit: The show started with a model dressed as the famous Snake Goddess.
