Knossos area ftom the ruins until the mountains what you saw is only what has been dug up. It would need thousands of years with the current yearly budget to dig up the area. For Mycenes which is not Minoan and a lot smaller the estimation was that they would need 200 years to excavate the whole city.
Knossos is great, just get there early. Ignore the signs that explain the rooms. If you notice they say `According to Sleeman this was.... '. But nobody really knows. Late Minoans that stayed there and had lost the capability/technology to build that big, did not know the building' s function either.
Indeed Linear A has too few samples but a code smell for new archeoligical decryptions is when they say it references 'Gods' and this doesn't. We will see though.
