Archanes

This guide to Archanes near Heraklion centers on Anemospilia, a hilltop shrine on Mount Juktas where an earthquake struck during a ritual roughly three and a half thousand years ago. You will hear what archaeologists Yannis and Efi Sakellarakis uncovered there in 1979, a scene involving a bound teenager, a bronze blade and two older figures, and the fierce scholarly dispute over what it really shows about Minoan Crete.
