Savitar, if you are saying that the Minoan civilization was not so close to Pelasgians and Dionysian cults, I reply that to be Aryans is not sufficient.
Of course, now I recognize the statue. Infamous? Goddesses and priestesses with the breast naked are common in the Minoan frescos, and there are many unnamed Snake Goddesses around. True or false, that find is not the only one. You know Erich Neumann; if you has got his 'The Great Mother', see various pictures and especially the statue on the table 56 at the end: here the snakes climb on the arms.
Ariadne is a Venusian facet, and in fact in the Minoan palaces dolphins and shells are common, all animals of Aphrodite.
As for the swastika, is common in Greece indeed and even on amphorae showing the Animal's Goddess, another unnamed one (see pictures in Neumann quoted, or in Jean Richer).

I think you will recognise the statue when you see it – the implications of this statue being fraudulent are extremely important in a number of fields other than that of archaeology. The thus far preconceived notions of the religious beliefs of the Minoans could in fact have been different to what is now commonly accepted, as many assumptions on the Minoans have been based solely on the integrity of this statue, which may not be genuine.
