" Although the vocabulary is Minoan, the syntax is not. The Ring of Nestor is therefore treated as a fake and consequently not referred to in later chapters as evidence of the Minoan belief-system."

"...the beautiful ivory statuette known as the Boston Goddess came from; it seems likely that it was robbed from a surface layer in the ruins of the East Wing of the Knossos Labyrinth, and in terms of materials, shape, and the techniques used in making it, it is characteristically Minoan, and therefore probably genuine. "
