Temple A at Prinias, Crete from the 7th century BC displays Egyptian and Egyptianizing features in its architecture and sculptural decoration. Direct Egyptian influence on Greek art and architecture in the 8th-7th centuries has been underestimated, as evidenced by Temple A. Herodotus recounts how Cretan sailors were blown off course to Libya and exposed to Egyptian buildings, encouraging the use of stone in Greek architecture instead of wood and mudbrick. Egyptian artistic motifs like the false door, clenched fist, and horsemen frieze are seen in the sculpture at Temple A.
