I would love to see those frescoes in detail. Is there a place where we can view extrapolations of what they looked like when new?

The 'restoration' of Knossos has come around to be seen as a Victorian era invention, rather than being authentic. Minoan painters were also living and working in Egypt during the 18th dynasty.
