Notes
The image may show the antechamber to the Throne Room, rather than the Throne Room itself. The throne room has also been reconstructed by Arthur Evans. This throne room was in the palace of Knossos and would have been used for ceremonial purposes. The large basin in the space was used for ritual purification.
