As the wall pictures discovered at the site of Knossos Palace are showing, the Minoan civilization seems to be akin to the Egyptian civilization (for example, the faces of the figures in the wall pictures are always drawn in profile. Futher, often their legs are pictured as looking like walking) (クノッソク宮殿から発見された壁画が示しているように、ミノア文明はエジプト文明に近いようです(例えば、壁画の人物像は必ず横顔で描かれています。また、足は歩いているかのように描かれています))
