Minoan Matriarchy: Was Crete ruled by thicc nature mommies?

🇯🇵 JAPAN TRIP🇯🇵 💛💙Community Census💙💛 Welcome back, dear one! Season 10 kicks off with a bang as we hop into our time machine and zoom back to the Minoan civilization—the OG seafaring fashionistas of Crete. Were they ruled by thick (with two C’s) nature mommies? Or was it all just ancient patriarchy with a side of fabulous frescoes? Let’s find out! What’s in Store: 🛕 A deep dive into Minoan palaces (hello, indoor plumbing and menstrual pits—yes, you read that right). 🎨 Frescoes, frescoes, and more frescoes! Boobies out, bulls flipping, and goddesses reigning supreme. 🧵 The juicy debate: Matriarchy, egalitarianism, or just plain misunderstood? 😏 Why this history matters and what it says about us today (spoiler: thicc nature mommies might just save the world). Special Announcements: ✨ Japan trip alert! Join me and fellow history nerds this August for an unforgettable adventure to Japan. Buddha statues, tea ceremonies, and maybe even the Blood Temple? Spots are limited, so don’t miss out! Final Thoughts: History isn’t static; it’s a conversation. And this season, we’re channeling all the thick, curvy, snake-goddess energy to dig into overlooked stories and rewrite the narrative. Tune in, sip the Kool-Aid, and let’s get to it! 🤩App Info🤩 📚Resources can be found here!📚 ______________________________________ Want more For the Love of History?
