TOMBS OF PRIESTESS DYNASTY EXCAVATED IN CRETE

A report was recently released in Archaeology Magazine detailing the discovery last summer of tombs in Crete containing a high priestess of Zeus and three acolytes. Previous findings included cremated remains of other priestesses buried together in pithoi jars. According to the report, all of the women appear related and formed a sort of dynasty in the area for 200 years.
