Image of the famous Minoan bull leaping fresco. It used to decorate a room at the Palace of Knossos, now detached and exhibited in Herakleion Museum. It was made during the second Millennium BC. (Neopalatial period). During the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Crete both man and woman held equal social status. The fresco depicts a man and two women participating in the same dangerous sport such as the bull-leaping. This was not a sport for the squeamish. A bull would charge headlong into a line of jumpers. Each jumper, when the bull was right on the top of them, would grab the horns of the bull and as the bull lifts forcefully shakes up his head, the athlete would then use the impetus to vault over the bull in an acrobatic somersault.
