Bernal ( 2:54, 477-79) faults the excavators of Mycenae for failing to discover
the temple of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenophis III on that site, for, in Egypt, the
finding of faience plaques with the royal name would lead scholars to look for a
temple or a shrine. But perhaps, he speculates, the temple did not last long, or was
never built. The building, the substantial institution, and the many priests in complex
hierarchies may have moved to Eleusis and become the cult of Demeter there. Wait
for Black Athena, volume 4.
