- Summary:
- From 3000 to 1400 BC, the Minoan civilization flourished on the Mediterranean island of Crete. Highly advanced for their time, the Minoans created the first European writing system, although their language is as yet unknown. Long before the Parthenon, the Minoans developed advanced craftsmanship, creating beautifully wrought frescoes and sculptures and sumptuous buildings, whose monumental, intricate architecture has long intrigued archaeologists. Recently, meticulous excavations, augmented by mathematical analyses, have unearthed new ways to interpret these creations, revising earlier interpretations of a society we thought we knew so well.
