THE BULL ACROBATS






N
o one has ever explained the Minoan art depicting the bull acrobats of ancient Crete. If we can believe this art, an acrobat would face a charging bull, grasp its horns, and do a somersault over its back to the ground.

The problem is that the feat appears to be im
possible. No daredevil has been reckless enough to attempt it, at least not in our time.
