Throne Room, Knossos

The Throne Room was a chamber built for ceremonial purposes during the 15th century BC inside the palatial complex of Knossos, Crete [1]. It is found at the heart of the Bronze Age palace of Knossos [1]. The throne room was unearthed in 1900 by British archaeologist Arthur Evans, during the first phase of his excavations in Knossos [1]. It was found in the center of the palatial complex and west of the central court [1]. Moreover, on three sides it contains gypsum benches [1]. It was part of a larger suite that also included an anteroom and an inner chamber with a ledge that was possibly a chapel [1].
