Linguistic Archaeology: The origin of the Minotaur

Minotaur (Mkunotarkuar). First off we know the Ta- phonetic is associated with post exodus religious artefacts so the Minotaur is effectivly a religious object. However what we might think was Mino-taur (the minoan bull) is Mkun-otar-kuar in an older form.

Mkun-
This Sounds like a celtic name. We know that thanks to a minoan piece of jewelery they are in conflict with kilt-wearing celts.

-Otar-
Otar is a Georgian individual name. And like banshee we see family name first, individual name second in an asian, eastern european style.

-Kuar
This is a little more 'asian'. Kuar is Sikh for crown prince (or princess) and is added to the end of a name so we know it is correctly positioned.

Conclusion
So they kept this eastern Celtic Prince in a cage for arena or religious entertainment. In time the bull-headed monster of religious significance replaces the royal hostage. Anyone wondering where Crown Prince Otar Mkun vanished to, he was held hostage by the Minoans and treated like an animal for their entertainment.
