I thought it was interesting that Evans had a better reputation that Schliemann while Evans' technique can be viewed as just as destructive as Schliemann's. I think it was inappropriate to simply rebuild part of the Knossos palace. I do not know if he gave other historians a chance to see it before his renovation or artists a chance to sketch it in its original recovered form but I hope that he did because that might have been more helpful to understanding Minoan culture than his renovation.
I thought it was an important passage and I am glad that the book addresses this information.
