OK. All kinds of symbolism there and connections to ancient Hebrew/Canaanite/Egyptian.
Ancient Crete has Phoenician and Egyptian connections. Also, they made purple dye from murex snails there just like the Phoenicians. Cyrus Gordon (scholar) believed the ancient Cretans spoke a semitic language before the Mycenaean Greeks took over.
A specific blue dye from murex is part of Hebrew traditional prayer shawls. It's called tekhelet.
Take a look at the rabbi with his striped head covering, then look at the temple, then look at this gold mask of King Tut wearing the Egyptian Nemes headdress.
