the "Throne of Minos"

There were two exits from the Throne Room. One led to a set of nine rooms and the other to storage rooms. Two of these had vaults in the floor. The Throne Room and the the rooms leading off it appear to be a distinct unit.

The main shrine may have been in what is now called the Throne Room, with the throne being used by a priestess rather than a King as Evans imagined.
