The Sea-Kings of Crete Such an area had been found at Phæstos by the Italian explorers, and it was natural to expect that something corresponding to it would not be lacking at Knossos. The Sea-Kings of Crete But in the fleet of Knossos was her fate; and if once the fleet failed, she had no second line of defence on which to rely against any serious attack. The Sea-Kings of Crete In this part of the building, and especially in the Colonnaded Hall, the conflagration in which the glories of Knossos found their close had been extremely severe, and the evidences of fierce burning were everywhere. The Sea-Kings of Crete From this period there survive no remains of building at Knossos. The Sea-Kings of Crete There are still no traces of any surviving building on the hill of Knossos, nor is there any definite link with Egypt to afford an opportunity for determining the date of the period.

The Sea-Kings of Crete At Page 222 Knossos a carefully hewn tomb held, along with the body of the dead artificer, specimens of the tools of his trade—a bronze saw, adze, and chisel. The Sea-Kings of Crete The archives of the palace at Knossos certainly show that a military force was kept on foot, and was thoroughly organized and well looked after. The Sea-Kings of Crete As at Knossos, a flagged pathway ran across the area, obliquely, however, in this case. The Sea-Kings of Crete Only one inference, Page 230 possibly precarious enough, may be made from one of the features of the architecture of Knossos. The Sea-Kings of Crete We have already seen how the discoveries of the first year's work at Knossos settled that question for ever, and revealed the existence of more than one form of writing.
