Minoan double headed Axe

The double-headed axe is one of the most significant and recognizable symbols of Minoan civilization. Scholars believe that it held spiritual and symbolic importance beyond its use as a weapon or religious object for the Minoans. They saw it as a representation of spiritual immortality and the wisdom of the Sacred Couple, representing Earth and Sky (Sun and Moon) and their united power on earth. Double-headed axes of various sizes have been discovered in places of worship and in the palace complexes at Knossos and Phaistos.
