Minoan snake tubes are cylindrical tubes with a closed, splayed out bottom. Generally the tubes feature rings on the bottom and tops varying in number by location. All the tubes have open tops. The most distinguishable feature of snake tubes are their serpentine like handles. Despite their name not all Minoan snake tubes feature snakes. Minoan snake tubes were originally named by archaeologist Arthur Evans. Evans discovered the snake tubes in 1901 and hypothesized that early Minoans worshipped a snake god or goddess based on only two tubes he had discovered. This theory has however received pushback from contemporary archaeologists who have discovered more tubes without the snakes. Later discoveries found the tubes in close proximity to statues of goddesses believed to have been worshipped

Later discoveries found the tubes in close proximity to statues of goddesses believed to have been worshipped by early Minoans. Dating snake tubes can be inexact but scholars estimate them to have been created around 1700 BC. Modern scholars, such as Geraldine Gesell, argue that snake tubes played an important role in the construction and function of early Minoan domestic shrines. (en)
