So....Maybe this Minoan jewel was never taken off "a dead Minoan hand"...
And if so, is it possible that at some point, Minoan elite took over Mycenae? Wow 🙂
That would explain huge Minoan cultural influence on Mycenaean culture. And I mean HUGE...

Is it possible that the "Combat agate" was worn by a Minoan warrior to commemorate a once famous Minoan victory over Mycenaeans?

A lyre player from "The Standard of Ur", a Sumerian artefact dated to c. 2550 BC. These bull headed lyres were ceremonial instruments. This is obvious from the fact that the Sumerian sign for lyre also means "to praise." But praise who? And why?

I proposed that ibex/gazelle are linked with rain because of the fact that both animal mating seasons overlap with rain season in Eastern Mediterranean, Levant, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, Iran years before that. Some articles about this
