Minoans Tracked Solar Eclipses Using Hilltop Observatories and Ancient Devices - GreekReporter.com The Minoans tracked solar eclipses, constructing hilltop labyrinthine structures that served both ritual and celestial purposes.

"Numerous total & annular solar eclipses (were) visible over Crete between 3000 & 1700 BC.

Researcher (Robin) Edgar notes that whether or not the mold performed calculations, its iconography aligns closely with #SolarSymbolism observed in structures like #Papoura."

I've been researching how ancient cultures responded to #eclipses, especially #TotalSolarEclipses, since 1992.

Ancient people built some structures & created #geoglyphs aka #EarthArt intended to be seen by their #SkyGods the Sun & Moon.

This structure may well have #SolarSymbolism built into it.

The four petaled "flowers" in figure 8 are interspersed with rosettes aka rayed sun symbols that are probably inspired by observations of the Sun's corona during total solar eclipses

Thanks for your prompt response Orion.

Some of the drawings of the Tell Halaf art are comparable to the drawing of the cross-like pattern in the Sun's corona.

One of the sherds depicted in the report has rosettes aka #RayedSunSymbols depicted on it.

#SolarSymbolism is thus probable.
