FLORENTIA argued that archaeological findings indicated the movement of Minoans beyond the Aegean, to the highlands of Anatolia. She compared Minoan Civilization with the Kingdom of Urartu, which she placed in the 9th to 7th century BC, and mentioned similarities in economy, technology, and worship. Referring to excavations, among others at Garibin Tepe, she said that Urartian ritual vessels, containers, and rhyta exhibited similarities with the Minoan ones. She added that the bull had a central symbolic role in both cultures and associated Minoan worship with the worship of the Urartian god Haldi. FLORENTIA also mentioned that both societies possessed palatial or fortified structures under the control of a priestly or royal elite, while public rituals were part of daily life. She also presented as common elements the central control of goods such as wheat, wine, and oil, as well as the use of clay seals. In the management of water, she compared the Minoan networks with the Menawa Canal, which she stated was 30 miles long, and with the rock-cut reservoirs of Urartu. Finally, she compared the collapse of Minoan centers and the disappearance of Linear A with the burning of Urartian fortifications and the loss of cuneiform writing. She suggested the possibility that the Urartians maintained elements of an older Aegean tradition of mysteries and techniques, rather than being influenced solely by the Assyrians, and announced that she would return with more details. #Αρχαιολογία #ΜινωικόςΠολιτισμός #ΟυραρτικόςΠολιτισμός (translated)

Amalia wrote that on October 10, 1993, early elections took place in Greece and PASOK returned to power, where, according to her, it remained for the next 11 years. She attributed the fall of Konstantinos Mitsotakis' government to the independence of New Democracy MP George Sibilidis from Kilkis on September 9 and the MP from Ilia, Stefanos Stefanopoulos, two days earlier. Amalia mentioned that, in response to accusations that he was bribed by financial interests to overturn the government, Antonis Samaras had said that he defended "the patriotic character" of the party. She added that, 33 years later, Samaras was presented as "the soul of the party" and threatened, according to her, to oust Konstantinos Mitsotakis' son, Kyriakos, from power through a temporary party that, as she claimed, would bring the left back to power, which she described as bankrupt. In closing, she invoked Marx's saying that history repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ιστορία (translated)
