A monumental discovery! Just over a year ago, we discovered this fresco. It is about 19 inches by 31 inches, adhered solidly to an old board of wood. The occasion of the discovery is itself a fantastic story: we were mysteriously guided to it. It has been analyzed by a renowned art and antiquities appraiser who is also a specialist in ancient art materials. The appraiser confirms that it is at least 3500 years old. Before now, this fresco was not known to exist. In 1959 an identical wall painting was discovered under 70 feet of pumice on the Greek island of Santorini. That painting is slightly larger and its condition is rather marginal. Around 1126 BC the ancient island Thera (now Santorini) exploded violently (second most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded history), extincting the Aegean civilization (aka Minoa). At the time of the catastrophe this painting existed somewhere safely beyond the event. We do not grasp ownership of this extraordinary work. We do claim custodianship of it in trust for all peoples and all generations. We are told MINOA is the name of the founder-protector-hero of the namesake “peoples of the sea” civilization, hence we have named the fresco “Aia MINOA”, a portrait. Aia MINOA is protoLogos, protoPoseidon and protoEl.
