. The Bronze Age Computer Disc
Search: Crete
by: Alan Butler
1997-08
I share the author's love of Crete and ancient history. However he has not _proven_ that the Phaistos Disc is astronomical. All that part is speculation. He has not even translated it. The idea that the zodiac came from Crete is completely opposite to the scholarly view that it evolved in Mesopotamia. The Glasgow University research, which he relies on, could support the Mesopotamian origin as much as a Cretan one. In order to restore perspective, I recommend going to Michael Baigent's "From the Omens of Babylon". Half a million cuneiform tablets make a strong case!

. Seven Days in New Crete (Twentieth Century Classics)
Search: Crete
by: Robert Graves
1983-12
This book has made a deep and lasting impresion on me since reading it when I was 14. The book follows a poet from the 1930s who is whisked away into the distant future by a post industrial cabal of witches who wish to feel what it was like to have lived in the chaotic and hellish Twentieth Century. Edward Venn Thomas is being used by the Goddess to bring this tranquil, pastoral society to its senses. Graves' central message seems to be that humanity can never stay still, without danger of societal ossification and individual extinction. VennThomas oversees the beginning of the end for the New Cretan society, but we are given a fascinating glimpse into the way the industrial world collapsed and how the human spirit rose above the madness ...
