Goddesses covers the female diety of antiquity, an entity who is still in mythology and theology today as Mother Earth and Mother Mary. She was independent of, but also a partner of, male dieties of prehistory.

Parting shot: Miniature fresco painting depicts a crowded room in the Palace of Knossos of Crete in the Minoan Era. The Mediterranian isle of Crete was home to a sophisticated goddess-worshipping culture until nearly the time we know as the Greek Golden Age. It is in the British Museum which will appear in 3D if you click the pic.
