Fulfilling Childhood Dreams in Crete

"I got lost in the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, which houses a large collection of Minoan artifacts (mostly from Knossos): ancient coins, artifacts, frescoes, and statues that deepened my fascination with the Minoans and highlighted the significance of their scripts, including the still-untranslated Linear A and the later Linear B." - Matthew Kepnes
