Around 1500 BC, the great Minoan civilization thrived on the islands of Crete and Santorin in the eastern Mediterranean. A guided tour of the legendary sites at Akrotiri, Phasestus, Ayía Triáda and Knosses culminates in a visit to the palace of Minos, famous for its mythical labyrinth.
Minoans were traders, and their cultural contacts reached far beyond the island of Crete — to Egypt's Old Kingdom, to copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan, and the Levantine coasts beyond, and to Anatolia. In late 2009, Minoan-style frescoes and other Minoan-style artifacts were discovered during excavations of the Canaanite palace at Tel Kabri, Israel, leading archaeologists to conclude that the Minoan influence was the strongest foreign influence on that Caananite city state. These are the only Minoan remains ever found in Israel.
Minoan techniques and styles in ceramics also provided models, of fluctuating influence, for Helladic Greece. Along with the familiar example of Thera, Minoan "colonies" can be found first at Kastri on Cythera, an island close to the Greek mainland that came under Minoan influence in the mid-third millennium (EMII) and remained Minoan in culture for a thousand years, until Mycenaean occupation in the 13th century. The use of the term "colony", however, like "thalassocracy", has been criticized in recent years. The Minoan strata there replace a mainland-derived culture in the Early Bronze Age, the earliest Minoan settlement outside Crete.
The Cyclades were in the Minoan cultural orbit, and, closer to Crete, the islands of Karpathos, Saria and Kasos, also contained Minoan colonies, or settlements of Minoan traders, from the Middle Bronze Age (MMI-II). Most of them were abandoned in LMI, but Minoan Karpathos recovered and continued with a Minoan culture until the end of the Bronze Age. Other supposed Minoan colonies, such as that hypothesised by Adolf Furtwängler for Aegina, were later dismissed by scholars. There was a Minoan colony at Ialysos on Rhodes.
Minoan cultural influence indicates an orbit that extended not only throughout the Cyclades (so-called Minoanisation), but in locations such as Egypt and Cyprus. Paintings from the 15th century BC in Thebes, Egypt depict a number of individuals, who are Minoan in appearance, bearing gifts. Inscriptions record these people as coming from Keftiu, or the "islands in the midst of the sea", and may refer to gift-bringing merchants or officials from Crete.
Certain locations within Crete emphasize it as an "outward looking" society. The Neopalatial site of Kato Zakros, for instance, is located within 100 metres of the modern shore-line, situated within a bay. Its large number of workshops and the richness of its site materials indicate a potential 'entrepôt' for import and export. Such activities are elaborated in artistic representations of the sea, including the 'Flotilla' fresco from room 5, in the west house at Akrotiri.

REVEAL Disappearance Mysteries of Great Minoan Civilization - first great European civilization | Documentary english subtitles
5000 years ago the Minoans flourished on the island of Crete. Their advanced culture became the setting for many famous Greek myths about Theseus, Icarus and the Minotaur. Yet in their heyday the Minoans were wiped from the pages of history. The cause of their downfall has remained a mystery of the ancient world - first great European civilization. Sinking Atlantis explores, and discounts, the usual theories about the disappearance of the Minoans -- from a massive volcano that buried them in ash, to Greek invaders who conquered and killed them. Drawing from the archaeological records, new revelations about Minoan language and religion, and shocking new geological discoveries, the film connects fact with fiction, and reveals the truth behind the reign and fall of the great Minoan civilization - first great European civilization.
Explore some iconic historical moments while debunking long-held myths and shining new light on past events . Advances in investigative techniques, forensic science and historical scholarship offer new evidence on forgotten mysteries.
"Sinking Atlantis" - Five thousand years ago the Minoans, Europe's first great civilization, flourished on the island of Crete. They were the first Europeans to use writing, and their technologically advanced and rich artistic culture became the setting for famous Greek myths about Theseus, Icarus and the Minotaur. Yet in their heyday, the Minoans were wiped from the pages of history.
The cause of their downfall has remained one of the foremost mysteries of the ancient world, Minoan civilization - first great European civilization, until now. "Sinking Atlantis" explores, and discounts, all the usual theories about the disappearance of the Minoans -- from a massive volcano that buried them in ash, to Greek invaders who conquered and killed them.
Drawing from the archaeological records, new revelations about Minoan language and religion, and shocking new geological discoveries, the film connects fact with fiction, and reveals the truth behind the reign and fall of the great Minoan civilization.
NARRATOR: Five thousand years ago, the great civilization of the Minoans flourished on the island of Crete.
Centuries before the Greeks built the Parthenon, Minoan artists recorded their achievements with exquisite carvings and beautiful frescoes.
The Minoans were the first Europeans to use writing. But then, at the height of their power, they were wiped from the pages of history. Their disappearance is still one of the ancient world’s greatest mysteries.
NARRATOR: The Minoans had built their prosperous city on one of the most dangerous islands on earth.
Around 1600, B.C., Akrotiri was shaken by a violent earthquake. Some time later, the eruption occurred…
Some thought the Minoans were slaughtered by invaders.
Others, that a volcanic eruption had engulfed them.
But now, a team of scientists is looking for more definitive answers. Their research is casting doubt on previous theories, and unearthing new evidence of an unexpected natural disaster.
SANDY MCGILLIVRAY: You spend a lot of time searching for something and then you find it you wish you hadn’t.
NARRATOR: Did the Minoans terrible fate give rise to the famous myth of Atlantis, the ancient city that vanished beneath the waves?

For centuries, stories persisted of a prosperous, sophisticated civilization on the island of Crete that dominated the waters of the Aegean 2,000 years before Christ. Homeric tales recalled a sinister labyrinth, a powerful king and fascinating people who enjoyed life.
In 1900, archaeologist Arthur Evans uncovered the enormous Palace of Knossos and evidence of an astonishing society that mirrored many aspects of the legends. Stunning murals, beautiful jewelry and massive vases shed light on the enchanting world of the Minoans and the extent of trade with Mycenae and Egypt.
A vibrant people skilled in sailing, agriculture and writing, the Minoans are also something of a mystery. What drew Evans to this Aegean island, and what caused the sudden decline of the dazzling civilization he discovered?

*** In 1900 the British archaeologist Arthur Evans began excavating some ancient ruins at Knossos on the island of Crete. He uncovered an enormous palace complex which reminded him of the mythical labyrinth of King Minos. Evans had in fact discovered the remnants of a Bronze Age society; in honour of Crete's legendary king he named it the Minoan Civilisation.The Minoans flourished for twelve centuries, and their civilisation was at its height around three and a half thousand years ago, when they built elaborate palaces all over the island. They were sophisticated builders and artists, and appear to have invented one of the world's earliest writing systems. Since Evans's discoveries a hundred years ago, we have learnt much about Minoan society, religion and culture - but much still remains mysterious. ***

The Minoan civilization was a civilization on Crete, an island near Greece. It began in the Bronze Age between 3000 and 2700 BC, and lasted to about 1450 BC. The Minoan civilization is famous for its sea trading and well planned cities. The Minoans had an agricultural system which relied mainly on olives and grapes. Their religion worshiped mostly goddesses. The Minoan civilization was later replaced by the Mycenaean culture.

In which John Green teaches you about the Bronze Age civilization in what we today call the middle east, and how the vast, interconnected civilization that encompassed Egypt, The Levant, and Mesopotamia came to an end. What's that you say? There was no such civilization? Your word against ours. John will argue that through a complex network of trade and alliances, there was a loosely confederated and relatively continuous civilization in the region. Why it all fell apart was a mystery. Was it the invasion of the Sea People? An earthquake storm? Or just a general collapse, to which complex systems are prone? We'll look into a few of these possibilities. As usual with Crash Course, we may not come up with a definitive answer, but it sure is a lot of fun to think about.

Crete and her Minoan Art and Minoan Civilization....
The video starts with sceneries from Crete as it is nowadays to create an introduction for the historical monuments of Knossos, for the Art of a Bronze Age civilization that flourished on the Mediterranean island of Crete from about 3000 BC to 1000 BC. The term originates from the legendary King Minos, ruler of Crete in Greek mythology, and was first used in 1894 by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, whose extensive excavations on the island form the basis of our understanding of Minoan art. Knowledge of Minoan culture is based almost entirely on archaeological evidence rather than written sources, and in many ways the culture remains mysterious. However, the quality and quantity of surviving art-facts show that the island was highly prosperous (it has a good climate and plentiful natural resources and was well situated for trade in the ancient world), and it seems to have enjoyed lengthy periods of peace. The civilization was evidently destroyed shortly before 1000 BC, perhaps partly because of an earthquake and partly because of invasion.
The most important city of ancient Crete was Knossos, and the huge palace there is the best remaining example of Minoan culture. There were at least two later palaces on the original site, built between 2000 BC and 1600 BC, which was the high point of Minoan culture. The palaces were complex and sophisticated in design, with numerous courtyards and staircases, and they were virtually unfortified, suggesting the settled nature of the civilization. Numerous frescoes have been uncovered at Knossos, and Minoan art also survives in the form of small-scale sculpture, jewellery, and metalwork. The most extensive remains of Minoan art are found in pottery, ranging from giant wine jars to small, exquisitely decorated vessels. The decoration is sometimes abstract, but often incorporates imagery involving sea creatures. Another creature that figures prominently in Minoan art is the bull, which featured in religious ritual (in Greek mythology, King Minos kept a monster -- the Minotaur -- that was half-man and half-bull).
The best collection of Minoan art is in the Archaeological Museum at Heraklion on Crete. The finest representation outside Crete is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, most of it from the collection of Sir Arthur Evans.

About the possible "why" the Minoan civilization disappeared from Crete:

Crete and Atlantis
"Some people associate Crete with Atlantis rather than Santorini. This is not opposite to the Santorini theory. Santorini and Crete shared a culture, that dissappeared on Crete about 100 years later than the eruption. Likely, the impacts of the eruption were enormous for the whole region and might have weakened the power of the Minoans on Crete, so that they could not survive for more than 100 years longer. Also, Crete would fit better to some aspects of Atlantis as described by Plato."

Minoan civilization was a Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete, came to dominate the shores and islands of the Aegean Sea, and flourished as a maritime power from approximately the 27th century BC to the 15th century BC. It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century by British archaeologist Arthur Evans. Will Durant referred to it as "the first link in the European chain." Hominids first appeared on Crete around at least 130,000 years ago, during the Middle Paleolithic age. Hand-axes of the type attributed to Homo erectus in Africa, except the material is local quartz, rather than flint, have been found at Preveli Gorge in southern Crete. Archaeological evidence points to the island's settlement between the late 8th and early 7th millennia BC. However, it was not until 5000 BC that the first signs of advanced agriculture appeared. Minoan civilization is considered to have begun with the palace complexes that appeared in the Bronze Age. The relationships of the Minoans with the more ancient peoples of Crete are unknown.

Civilization (or civilisation) is a sometimes controversial term that has been used in several related ways. Primarily, the term has been used to refer to the material and instrumental side of human cultures that are complex in terms of technology, science, and division of labor. Such civilizations are generally hierarchical and urbanized. In a classical context, people were called "civilized" to set them apart from barbarians, while in a modern-day context, "civilized peoples" have been contrasted with primitive peoples.
There is a tendency to use the term in a less strict way, to mean approximately the same thing as "culture" and therefore, the term can more broadly refer to any important and clearly defined human society.[citation needed] Still, even when used in this second sense, the word is often restricted to apply only to societies that have attained a particular level of advancement-especially the founding of cities.
The level of advancement of a civilization is often measured by its progress in agriculture, long-distance trade, occupational specialization, a special governing class and urbanism. Aside from these core elements, a civilization is often marked by any combination of a number of secondary elements, including a developed transportation system, writing, standardized measurement, currency, contractual and (tort-based) legal systems, characteristic art and architecture, mathematics, enhanced scientific understanding, metallurgy, political structures, and an astronomical understanding.

The Ancient Minoans Aegean EmpireThe Ancient Minoans Aegean Empire
Around 1500 BC, the great Minoan civilization thrived on the islands of Crete and Santorin in the eastern Mediterranean. A guided tour of the legendary sites at Akrotiri, Phasestus, Ayía Triáda and Knosses culminates in a visit to the palace of Minos, famous for its mythical labyrinth. Minoans were traders, and their cultural contacts reached far beyond the island of Crete — to Egypt's Old Kingdom, to copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan, and the Levantine coasts beyond, and to Anatolia. In late 2009, Minoan-style frescoes and other Minoan-style artifacts were discovered during excavations of the Canaanite palace at Tel Kabri, Israel, leading archaeologists to conclude that the Minoan influence was the strongest foreign influence on that Caananite city state. These are the only Minoan remains ever found in Israel. Minoan techniques and styles in ceramics also provided models, of fluctuating influence, for Helladic Greece. Along with the familiar example of Thera, Minoan "colonies" can be found first at Kastri on Cythera, an island close to the Greek mainland that came under Minoan influence in the mid-third millennium (EMII) and remained Minoan in culture for a thousand years, until Mycenaean occupation in the 13th century. The use of the term "colony", however, like "thalassocracy", has been criticized in recent years. The Minoan strata there replace a mainland-derived culture in the Early Bronze Age, the earliest Minoan settlement outside Crete. The Cyclades were in the Minoan cultural orbit, and, closer to Crete, the islands of Karpathos, Saria and Kasos, also contained Minoan colonies, or settlements of Minoan traders, from the Middle Bronze Age (MMI-II).

Other supposed Minoan colonies, such as that hypothesised by Adolf Furtwängler for Aegina, were later dismissed by scholars. There was a Minoan colony at Ialysos on Rhodes. Minoan cultural influence indicates an orbit that extended not only throughout the Cyclades (so-called Minoanisation), but in locations such as Egypt and Cyprus.

Crete and her Minoan Art and Minoan Civilization.... The video starts with sceneries from Crete as it is nowadays to create an introduction for the historical monuments of Knossos, for the Art of a Bronze Age civilization that flourished on the Mediterranean island of Crete from about 3000 BC to 1000 BC. The term originates from the legendary King Minos, ruler of Crete in Greek mythology, and was first used in 1894 by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, whose extensive excavations on the island form the basis of our understanding of Minoan art. Knowledge of Minoan culture is based almost entirely on archaeological evidence rather than written sources, and in many ways the culture remains mysterious. However, the quality and quantity of surviving art-facts show that the island was highly prosperous (it has a good climate and plentiful natural resources and was well situated for trade in the ancient world), and it seems to have enjoyed lengthy periods of peace. The civilization was evidently destroyed shortly before 1000 BC, perhaps partly because of an earthquake and partly because of invasion. The most important city of ancient Crete was Knossos, and the huge palace there is the best remaining example of Minoan culture. There were at least two later palaces on the original site, built between 2000 BC and 1600 BC, which was the high point of Minoan culture. The palaces were complex and sophisticated in design, with numerous courtyards and staircases, and they were virtually unfortified, suggesting the settled nature of the civilization. Numerous frescoes have been uncovered at Knossos, and Minoan art also survives in the form of small-scale sculpture, jewellery, and metalwork. The most extensive remains of Minoan art are found in pottery, ranging from giant wine jars to small, exquisitely decorated vessels. The decoration is sometimes abstract, but often incorporates imagery involving sea creatures. Another creature that figures prominently in Minoan art is the bull, which featured in religious ritual (in Greek mythology, King Minos kept a monster -- the Minotaur -- that was half-man and half-bull).

This is not opposite to the Santorini theory. Santorini and Crete shared a culture, that dissappeared on Crete about 100 years later than the eruption. Likely, the impacts of the eruption were enormous for the whole region and might have weakened the power of the Minoans on Crete, so that they could not survive for more than 100 years longer. Also, Crete would fit better to some aspects of Atlantis as described by Plato." Music: video part a (Introduction, Crete, Knossos) Composer: PSARANTONIS Antonis Xylouris (Greek: Αντώνης Ξυλούρης, 1939- ), nicknamed Psarantonis (Greek: Ψαραντώνης) is a Greek composer, singer and performer of lyra, the bowed string instrument of Crete and most popular surviving form of the medieval Byzantine lyra. He comes from the mountainous village of Anogeia in Crete and is the younger brother of the late Nikos Xylouris, a notable Cretan singer/musician as well as the older brother of Yiannis Xylouris, an equally notable Cretan musician. Psarantonis is known for the special timbre of his voice and his lyra playing style. Apart from the lyra Psarantonis plays various traditional instruments.

The Ancient Minoans Aegean Empire
Around 1500 BC, the great Minoan civilization thrived on the islands of Crete and Santorin in the eastern Mediterranean. A guided tour of the legendary sites at Akrotiri, Phasestus, Ayía Triáda and Knosses culminates in a visit to the palace of Minos, famous for its mythical labyrinth. Minoans were traders, and their cultural contacts reached far beyond the island of Crete — to Egypt's Old Kingdom, to copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan, and the Levantine coasts beyond, and to Anatolia. In late 2009, Minoan-style frescoes and other Minoan-style artifacts were discovered during excavations of the Canaanite palace at Tel Kabri, Israel, leading archaeologists to conclude that the Minoan influence was the strongest foreign influence on that Caananite city state. These are the only Minoan remains e... -

Mystery of the Minoans - Ancient Civilizations
http://www.thehistoryexplorer.com/product/mystery-of-the-minoans/ For centuries, stories persisted of a prosperous, sophisticated civilization on the island of Crete that dominated the waters of the Aegean 2,000 years before Christ. Homeric tales recalled a sinister labyrinth, a powerful king and fascinating people who enjoyed life. In 1900, archaeologist Arthur Evans uncovered the enormous Palace of Knossos and evidence of an astonishing society that mirrored many aspects of the legends. Stunning murals, beautiful jewelry and massive vases shed light on the enchanting world of the Minoans and the extent of trade with Mycenae and Egypt. A vibrant people skilled in sailing, agriculture and writing, the Minoans are also something of a mystery. What drew Evans to this Aegean island, and wh... -
The Minoan Civilisation (In Our Time, 7/7/11)
*** In 1900 the British archaeologist Arthur Evans began excavating some ancient ruins at Knossos on the island of Crete. He uncovered an enormous palace complex which reminded him of the mythical labyrinth of King Minos. Evans had in fact discovered the remnants of a Bronze Age society; in honour of Crete's legendary king he named it the Minoan Civilisation.The Minoans flourished for twelve centuries, and their civilisation was at its height around three and a half thousand years ago, when they built elaborate palaces all over the island. They were sophisticated builders and artists, and appear to have invented one of the world's earliest writing systems. Since Evans's discoveries a hundred years ago, we have learnt much about Minoan society, religion and culture - but much still remains ... -
The Minoan Civilization
The Minoan civilization was a civilization on Crete, an island near Greece. It began in the Bronze Age between 3000 and 2700 BC, and lasted to about 1450 BC. The Minoan civilization is famous for its sea trading and well planned cities. The Minoans had an agricultural system which relied mainly on olives and grapes. Their religion worshiped mostly goddesses. The Minoan civilization was later replaced by the Mycenaean culture. -
The End of Civilization (In the Bronze Age): Crash Course World History 211
In which John Green teaches you about the Bronze Age civilization in what we today call the middle east, and how the vast, interconnected civilization that encompassed Egypt, The Levant, and Mesopotamia came to an end. What's that you say? There was no such civilization? Your word against ours. John will argue that through a complex network of trade and alliances, there was a loosely confederated and relatively continuous civilization in the region. Why it all fell apart was a mystery. Was it the invasion of the Sea People? An earthquake storm? Or just a general collapse, to which complex systems are prone? We'll look into a few of these possibilities. As usual with Crash Course, we may not come up with a definitive answer, but it sure is a lot of fun to think about. You can directly sup... -
Crete, Knossos and the Minoan Civilization ~ Psarantonis ~ Yannis Markopoulos
Crete and her Minoan Art and Minoan Civilization.... The video starts with sceneries from Crete as it is nowadays to create an introduction for the historical monuments of Knossos, for the Art of a Bronze Age civilization that flourished on the Mediterranean island of Crete from about 3000 BC to 1000 BC. The term originates from the legendary King Minos, ruler of Crete in Greek mythology, and was first used in 1894 by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, whose extensive excavations on the island form the basis of our understanding of Minoan art. Knowledge of Minoan culture is based almost entirely on archaeological evidence rather than written sources, and in many ways the culture remains mysterious. However, the quality and quantity of surviving art-facts show that the island was ... -

Knossos Palace in Crete - Minoan civilization
The Palace of Knossos is the largest of all palaces in Crete. It is surrounded by an extensive city. The Palace was built on the low Kephala hill at the confluence of two streams. The choice of location and the subsequent growth of the settlement are connected with its proximity to the sea and the fertile earth of the region. The site was first settled in the neolithic period (6700-3200 B.C.). As early as this, there was an extensive settlement. The first Palace was built around 1900 B.C. (Old Palace period). From the few parts that are preserved, it appears that the basic plan was formed at that time. It was destroyed around 1700 B.C. and the new Palace was built in its place (New Palace Period). With the exception of some later additions, Arthur Evans uncovered and restored its ruins. Th... -

Around 1500 BC, the great Minoan civilization thrived on the islands of Crete and Santorin in the eastern Mediterranean. A guided tour of the legendary sites at Akrotiri, Phasestus, Ayía Triáda and Knosses culminates in a visit to the palace of Minos, famous for its mythical labyrinth.
Minoans were traders, and their cultural contacts reached far beyond the island of Crete — to Egypt's Old Kingdom, to copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan, and the Levantine coasts beyond, and to Anatolia. In late 2009, Minoan-style frescoes and other Minoan-style artifacts were discovered during excavations of the Canaanite palace at Tel Kabri, Israel, leading archaeologists to conclude that the Minoan influence was the strongest foreign influence on that Caananite city state. These are the only Minoan remains ever found in Israel.
Minoan techniques and styles in ceramics also provided models, of fluctuating influence, for Helladic Greece. Along with the familiar example of Thera, Minoan "colonies" can be found first at Kastri on Cythera, an island close to the Greek mainland that came under Minoan influence in the mid-third millennium (EMII) and remained Minoan in culture for a thousand years, until Mycenaean occupation in the 13th century. The use of the term "colony", however, like "thalassocracy", has been criticized in recent years. The Minoan strata there replace a mainland-derived culture in the Early Bronze Age, the earliest Minoan settlement outside Crete.
The Cyclades were in the Minoan cultural orbit, and, closer to Crete, the islands of Karpathos, Saria and Kasos, also contained Minoan colonies, or settlements of Minoan traders, from the Middle Bronze Age (MMI-II). Most of them were abandoned in LMI, but Minoan Karpathos recovered and continued with a Minoan culture until the end of the Bronze Age. Other supposed Minoan colonies, such as that hypothesised by Adolf Furtwängler for Aegina, were later dismissed by scholars. There was a Minoan colony at Ialysos on Rhodes.
Minoan cultural influence indicates an orbit that extended not only throughout the Cyclades (so-called Minoanisation), but in locations such as Egypt and Cyprus. Paintings from the 15th century BC in Thebes, Egypt depict a number of individuals, who are Minoan in appearance, bearing gifts. Inscriptions record these people as coming from Keftiu, or the "islands in the midst of the sea", and may refer to gift-bringing merchants or officials from Crete.
Certain locations within Crete emphasize it as an "outward looking" society. The Neopalatial site of Kato Zakros, for instance, is located within 100 metres of the modern shore-line, situated within a bay. Its large number of workshops and the richness of its site materials indicate a potential 'entrepôt' for import and export. Such activities are elaborated in artistic representations of the sea, including the 'Flotilla' fresco from room 5, in the west house at Akrotiri.

REVEAL Disappearance Mysteries of Great Minoan Civilization - first great European civilization | Documentary english subtitles
5000 years ago the Minoans flourished on the island of Crete. Their advanced culture became the setting for many famous Greek myths about Theseus, Icarus and the Minotaur. Yet in their heyday the Minoans were wiped from the pages of history. The cause of their downfall has remained a mystery of the ancient world - first great European civilization. Sinking Atlantis explores, and discounts, the usual theories about the disappearance of the Minoans -- from a massive volcano that buried them in ash, to Greek invaders who conquered and killed them. Drawing from the archaeological records, new revelations about Minoan language and religion, and shocking new geological discoveries, the film connects fact with fiction, and reveals the truth behind the reign and fall of the great Minoan civilization - first great European civilization.
Explore some iconic historical moments while debunking long-held myths and shining new light on past events . Advances in investigative techniques, forensic science and historical scholarship offer new evidence on forgotten mysteries.
"Sinking Atlantis" - Five thousand years ago the Minoans, Europe's first great civilization, flourished on the island of Crete. They were the first Europeans to use writing, and their technologically advanced and rich artistic culture became the setting for famous Greek myths about Theseus, Icarus and the Minotaur. Yet in their heyday, the Minoans were wiped from the pages of history.
The cause of their downfall has remained one of the foremost mysteries of the ancient world, Minoan civilization - first great European civilization, until now. "Sinking Atlantis" explores, and discounts, all the usual theories about the disappearance of the Minoans -- from a massive volcano that buried them in ash, to Greek invaders who conquered and killed them.
Drawing from the archaeological records, new revelations about Minoan language and religion, and shocking new geological discoveries, the film connects fact with fiction, and reveals the truth behind the reign and fall of the great Minoan civilization.
NARRATOR: Five thousand years ago, the great civilization of the Minoans flourished on the island of Crete.
Centuries before the Greeks built the Parthenon, Minoan artists recorded their achievements with exquisite carvings and beautiful frescoes.
The Minoans were the first Europeans to use writing. But then, at the height of their power, they were wiped from the pages of history. Their disappearance is still one of the ancient world’s greatest mysteries.
NARRATOR: The Minoans had built their prosperous city on one of the most dangerous islands on earth.
Around 1600, B.C., Akrotiri was shaken by a violent earthquake. Some time later, the eruption occurred…
Some thought the Minoans were slaughtered by invaders.
Others, that a volcanic eruption had engulfed them.
But now, a team of scientists is looking for more definitive answers. Their research is casting doubt on previous theories, and unearthing new evidence of an unexpected natural disaster.
SANDY MCGILLIVRAY: You spend a lot of time searching for something and then you find it you wish you hadn’t.
NARRATOR: Did the Minoans terrible fate give rise to the famous myth of Atlantis, the ancient city that vanished beneath the waves?

http://www.thehistoryexplorer.com/product/mystery-of-the-minoans/
For centuries, stories persisted of a prosperous, sophisticated civilization on the island of Crete that dominated the waters of the Aegean 2,000 years before Christ. Homeric tales recalled a sinister labyrinth, a powerful king and fascinating people who enjoyed life.
In 1900, archaeologist Arthur Evans uncovered the enormous Palace of Knossos and evidence of an astonishing society that mirrored many aspects of the legends. Stunning murals, beautiful jewelry and massive vases shed light on the enchanting world of the Minoans and the extent of trade with Mycenae and Egypt.
A vibrant people skilled in sailing, agriculture and writing, the Minoans are also something of a mystery. What drew Evans to this Aegean island, and what caused the sudden decline of the dazzling civilization he discovered?

*** In 1900 the British archaeologist Arthur Evans began excavating some ancient ruins at Knossos on the island of Crete. He uncovered an enormous palace complex which reminded him of the mythical labyrinth of King Minos. Evans had in fact discovered the remnants of a Bronze Age society; in honour of Crete's legendary king he named it the Minoan Civilisation.The Minoans flourished for twelve centuries, and their civilisation was at its height around three and a half thousand years ago, when they built elaborate palaces all over the island. They were sophisticated builders and artists, and appear to have invented one of the world's earliest writing systems. Since Evans's discoveries a hundred years ago, we have learnt much about Minoan society, religion and culture - but much still remains mysterious. ***

The Minoan civilization was a civilization on Crete, an island near Greece. It began in the Bronze Age between 3000 and 2700 BC, and lasted to about 1450 BC. The Minoan civilization is famous for its sea trading and well planned cities. The Minoans had an agricultural system which relied mainly on olives and grapes. Their religion worshiped mostly goddesses. The Minoan civilization was later replaced by the Mycenaean culture.

In which John Green teaches you about the Bronze Age civilization in what we today call the middle east, and how the vast, interconnected civilization that encompassed Egypt, The Levant, and Mesopotamia came to an end. What's that you say? There was no such civilization? Your word against ours. John will argue that through a complex network of trade and alliances, there was a loosely confederated and relatively continuous civilization in the region. Why it all fell apart was a mystery. Was it the invasion of the Sea People? An earthquake storm? Or just a general collapse, to which complex systems are prone? We'll look into a few of these possibilities. As usual with Crash Course, we may not come up with a definitive answer, but it sure is a lot of fun to think about.

Crete and her Minoan Art and Minoan Civilization....
The video starts with sceneries from Crete as it is nowadays to create an introduction for the historical monuments of Knossos, for the Art of a Bronze Age civilization that flourished on the Mediterranean island of Crete from about 3000 BC to 1000 BC. The term originates from the legendary King Minos, ruler of Crete in Greek mythology, and was first used in 1894 by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, whose extensive excavations on the island form the basis of our understanding of Minoan art. Knowledge of Minoan culture is based almost entirely on archaeological evidence rather than written sources, and in many ways the culture remains mysterious. However, the quality and quantity of surviving art-facts show that the island was highly prosperous (it has a good climate and plentiful natural resources and was well situated for trade in the ancient world), and it seems to have enjoyed lengthy periods of peace. The civilization was evidently destroyed shortly before 1000 BC, perhaps partly because of an earthquake and partly because of invasion.
The most important city of ancient Crete was Knossos, and the huge palace there is the best remaining example of Minoan culture. There were at least two later palaces on the original site, built between 2000 BC and 1600 BC, which was the high point of Minoan culture. The palaces were complex and sophisticated in design, with numerous courtyards and staircases, and they were virtually unfortified, suggesting the settled nature of the civilization. Numerous frescoes have been uncovered at Knossos, and Minoan art also survives in the form of small-scale sculpture, jewellery, and metalwork. The most extensive remains of Minoan art are found in pottery, ranging from giant wine jars to small, exquisitely decorated vessels. The decoration is sometimes abstract, but often incorporates imagery involving sea creatures. Another creature that figures prominently in Minoan art is the bull, which featured in religious ritual (in Greek mythology, King Minos kept a monster -- the Minotaur -- that was half-man and half-bull).
The best collection of Minoan art is in the Archaeological Museum at Heraklion on Crete. The finest representation outside Crete is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, most of it from the collection of Sir Arthur Evans.

Crete and Atlantis
"Some people associate Crete with Atlantis rather than Santorini. This is not opposite to the Santorini theory. Santorini and Crete shared a culture, that dissappeared on Crete about 100 years later than the eruption. Likely, the impacts of the eruption were enormous for the whole region and might have weakened the power of the Minoans on Crete, so that they could not survive for more than 100 years longer. Also, Crete would fit better to some aspects of Atlantis as described by Plato."

Composer: PSARANTONIS
Antonis Xylouris (Greek: Αντώνης Ξυλούρης, 1939- ), nicknamed Psarantonis (Greek: Ψαραντώνης) is a Greek composer, singer and performer of lyra, the bowed string instrument of Crete and most popular surviving form of the medieval Byzantine lyra. He comes from the mountainous village of Anogeia in Crete and is the younger brother of the late Nikos Xylouris, a notable Cretan singer/musician as well as the older brother of Yiannis Xylouris, an equally notable Cretan musician. Psarantonis is known for the special timbre of his voice and his lyra playing style. Apart from the lyra Psarantonis plays various traditional instruments.

The Palace of Knossos is the largest of all palaces in Crete. It is surrounded by an extensive city. The Palace was built on the low Kephala hill at the confluence of two streams. The choice of location and the subsequent growth of the settlement are connected with its proximity to the sea and the fertile earth of the region.
The site was first settled in the neolithic period (6700-3200 B.C.). As early as this, there was an extensive settlement.
The first Palace was built around 1900 B.C. (Old Palace period). From the few parts that are preserved, it appears that the basic plan was formed at that time. It was destroyed around 1700 B.C. and the new Palace was built in its place (New Palace Period). With the exception of some later additions, Arthur Evans uncovered and restored its ruins.
The Palace is comprised of different buildings that grew up around the Central Court. There were entrances at all the main points, the most formal being the Southwest and North. The West Wing includes shrines, official halls and extensive storage areas, and the East Wing, the "Royal Apartments" and workshops. There were storerooms and other areas to the North and South.
The Palace displays a great variety of architectural features: storeys with flat roofs on different levels, indented or protruding facades, embellishments of stone horns and of alternating colours, etc. A great variety of materials was used: slabs of green schist for floors, wooden columns, gypsum slabson walls, floors and elsewhere. Polychrome plaster and wall paintings contributed to room decoration.
The Palace apperas to have been the center of political, economic and religious authority. The main excavator, Arthur Evans, attempted to interpret the function of the spaces in the Palace and gave them names that reflected their use according to his opinion. This was based on the finds, mythological tradition, and analogies with ancient civilizations and his own era. These names are still current (e.g. "Queens's Megaron" [hall], "Piano Nobile" [upper floor], "Throne Room") even though continuing research has put forward different views as to the function of some areas.
The Palace of Knossos continued in use after 1450 B.C. when the rest of the Cretan palaces were destroyed. Most experts believe that new inhabitants from the Mycenaean Greek Mainland were installed in the Palace, due to the discovery of a Mycenean archive of Linear B script. When the Palace ceased to function remains uncertain. At any rate, after 1380 B.C., a large part of its former glory had been lost.

Afrocentrist Claims to Minoan Civilization Destroyed by New Genetic Report
Afrocentrist claims that Africans originated Europe’s oldest civilization in Crete have been nixed by a new DNA study which has shown that the original population of that island were European. The theory that Africans, not Europeans, created the Minoan civilization which flourished from around 2,700 BC to 1,420 BC, has been popularized by the Jewish Professor Emeritus of Government and Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University, Martin Bernal, in his book Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization. In that book, now wildly quoted by Afrocentrists, Bernal claimed that Greece’s African and Asiatic neighbors, especially Ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians, had an influence on ancient Greece. Bernal proposes that a change in this Western perception took place from the 18th c... -
Aegean civilizations
Aegean civilization is a general term for the Bronze Age civilizations of Greece around the Aegean Sea. There are three distinct but communicating and interacting geographic regions covered by this term: Crete, the Cyclades and the Greek mainland. Crete is associated with the Minoan civilization from the Early Bronze Age. The Cyclades converge with the mainland during the Early Helladic ("Minyan") period and with Crete in the Middle Minoan period. From ca. 1450 BC (Late Helladic, Late Minoan), the Greek Mycenaean civilization spreads to Crete. -

The Minoan civilization was an Aegean Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete and other Aegean islands and flourished from approximately 3650 to 1400 BC.[1] It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of British archaeologist Arthur Evans. Historian Will Durant referred to it as "the first link in the European chain."[2]
It was not until roughly 5000 BC in the late Neolithic period, that the first signs of advanced agriculture appeared in the Aegean, marking the first signs of civilization. The term "Minoan" refers to the mythic King Minos. Minos was associated in Greek myth with the labyrinth and the minotaur, which Evans identified with the site at Knossos, the largest Bronze Age Minoan site. The poet Homer recorded a tradition that Crete once had 90 cities.[3]
The Minoans were primarily a mercantile people engaged in overseas trade. Their pottery provides the best means of dating. As traders and artists, their cultural influence reached far beyond the island of Crete — throughout the Cyclades, to Egypt's Old Kingdom, to copper-bearing Cyprus, Canaan, and the Levantine coasts beyond, and to Anatolia. Some of its best art is preserved in the city of Akrotiri, on the island of Santorini, very near the Thera eruption.
Though we cannot read their language (Linear A), and there is much dispute, it is generally assumed there was little internal armed conflict in Minoan Crete itself, until the following Mycenaean period. The armed Mycenaeans or the eruption at Thera are two popular theories for the eventual demise of Minoan civilization around 1,400 BC.

Afrocentrist Claims to Minoan Civilization Destroyed by New Genetic Report

Afrocentrist claims that Africans originated Europe’s oldest civilization in Crete have been nixed by a new DNA study which has shown that the original population of that island were European.
The theory that Africans, not Europeans, created the Minoan civilization which flourished from around 2,700 BC to 1,420 BC, has been popularized by the Jewish Professor Emeritus of Government and Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University, Martin Bernal, in his book Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization.
In that book, now wildly quoted by Afrocentrists, Bernal claimed that Greece’s African and Asiatic neighbors, especially Ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians, had an influence on ancient Greece. Bernal proposes that a change in this Western perception took place from the 18th century onward and that this change fostered a subsequent denial by Western academia of any significant African and (western) Asiatic influences on ancient Greek culture.
Now however, a new report published in the journal Nature Communications, has definitively rebuffed this Afrocentrist hijacking of ancient European civilization.
The report, “A European population in Minoan Bronze Age Crete,” http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n5/full/ncomms2871.html analyzed and compared DNA extracted from 4,000-year-old Minoan skeletons with genetic material from people living throughout Europe and Africa in the past and today.
“We now know that the founders of the first advanced European civilization were European,” said study co-author George Stamatoyannopoulos, a human geneticist at the University of Washington. “They were very similar to Neolithic Europeans and very similar to present day-Cretans,” residents of the Mediterranean island of Crete.
Theories about why the Minoan civilization vanished have abounded, but the most likely cause is a combination of natural disasters (the volcanic eruption of Santorini) and the Indo-European Mycenaean invasion.
The research team analyzed DNA from ancient Minoan skeletons that were sealed in a cave in Crete’s Lassithi Plateau between 3,700 and 4,400 years ago. They then compared the skeletal mitochondrial DNA with that found in a sample of 135 modern and ancient populations from around Europe and Africa.
They found that the Minoan skeletons were genetically very similar to modern-day Europeans—and especially close to modern-day Cretans, particularly those from the Lassithi Plateau. They were also genetically similar to Neolithic Europeans, but distinct from Egyptian or Libyan populations.
The findings also confirmed that the ancient Minoans were descended from a branch of agriculturalists from the presumed Indo-European homeland around the Black Sea, who fanned out into Europe about 9,000 years ago.
The Minoans may have spoken a proto-Indo-European language derived from the one possibly spoken by those Anatolian farmers, the researchers speculate.
“The first Neolithic humans reached Crete about 9,000 years before present (YBP), coinciding with the development and adoption of the agricultural practices in the Near East and the extensive Neolithic population diffusion (8,000–9,500 YBP) that brought farming to Europe,” the report states.
“The most likely origins of these Neolithic settlers were the nearest coasts, either the Peloponnese or south-western Anatolia.
“Our calculations of genetic distances, haplotype sharing and principal component analysis (PCA) exclude a North African origin of the Minoans. Instead, we find that the highest genetic affinity of the Minoans is with Neolithic and modern European populations.
“We conclude that the most likely origin of the Minoans is the Neolithic population that migrated to Europe about 9,000 YBP. We propose that the Minoan civilization most likely was developed by the autochthonous population of the Bronze Age Crete.”

Aegean civilization is a general term for the Bronze Age civilizations of Greece around the Aegean Sea. There are three distinct but communicating and interacting geographic regions covered by this term: Crete, the Cyclades and the Greek mainland. Crete is associated with the Minoan civilization from the Early Bronze Age. The Cyclades converge with the mainland during the Early Helladic ("Minyan") period and with Crete in the Middle Minoan period. From ca. 1450 BC (Late Helladic, Late Minoan), the Greek Mycenaean civilization spreads to Crete.

Greek Civilization Lecture 01: The Minoans
Description -
Ancient Worlds - The Minoans (Bettany Hughes)
Bettany Hughes visits Crete to recount the story one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever made. The tale of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth is perhaps the most compelling of all Greek myths. Just over 100 years ago, English archaeologist Arthur Evans went to the 'Minotaur's Island' to explore the roots of this myth and discovered instead a sophisticated Bronze Age civilisation that had been lost to history for thousands of years. He called them The Minoans, and the riches of their culture astonished the world, prompting Evans to proclaim them the first civilisation of the Western World. But was this view unduly romantic? Recent archaeological discoveries have added fascinating layers of complexity to the picture originally painted by Evans. -
2. The Dark Ages
Introduction to Ancient Greek History (CLCV 205) In this lecture, Professor Donald Kagan explores the earliest history of Greek civilization. He demonstrates how small agricultural enclaves eventually turned into great cities of power and wealth in the Bronze Age, taking as his examples first Minoan Crete and then Mycenaean Greece. He also argues that these civilizations were closely related to the great monarchies of the ancient Near East. He points out that the Mycenaean age eventually came to an abrupt end probably through a process of warfare and migration. Reconstructing the Mycenaean age is possible through archaeological evidence and through epic poetry (Homer). Finally, he provides an account of the collapse of the Mycenaean world, and explains how in its aftermath, the Greeks w... -

The Minoans
One of the most powerful myths handed down by the ancient Greeks tells of the fabled King Minos, who ordered the construction of a vast, mazelike building called the labyrinth. Within this structure, he imprisoned the monster known as the Minotaur, a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man that was fed on human sacrifice. For centuries this tale remained no more than legend. And then in the 1890s an archaeologist named Arthur Evans began uncovering, on the island of Crete, the remains of a civilization that flourished between 2500 and 1350 BC. To Evans's surprise, he found the ruins of a great palace with hundreds of interconnected rooms and hallways -- a building so complex that it could easily have impressed visitors as having been as bewildering as a maze. Not only t... -
The ROM's 'Minoan' Goddess
This exquisite ivory and gold figurine has been an icon of the ROM collection since she was acquired in 1931, but she has also attracted huge controversy. When she was bought by the ROM, she was believed to be a rare example of a female bull-leaper from the Minoan civilisation of Bronze Age Crete. She was authenticated by Arthur Evans, the authority on the Minoans, who made comparisons with Bronze Age ivory figurines he excavated at the Minoan palace of Knossos. However, with no known archaeological findspot, and only a vague collection history before she came to the museum, she was soon condemned by some scholars as a modern forgery. She was associated with several other suspect `Minoan` figurines made of stone and ivory that appeared on the art market in the early 20th century. Dr Kate... -
C.F. Herberger on Discovery of Central Minoan Calendar
Interview with Dr. Charles F. Herberger, Jr., August 2015, on his 1972 work The Thread of Ariadne: The Labyrinth of the Calendar of Minos with Dr. Jack Dempsey. Herberger’s central argument is an answer to the two central standing mysteries of Bronze Age Minoan Crete (circa 3000-1425 BCE)---What was their central calendar and rhythm of time, and how did this relate to the Minoans’ tremendous success as the first major European civilization, in whose remains archaeology can find no evidence of a king in any familiar form? Herberger argues that we find those answers in the overlooked and unique complexities of the border surrounding Minoan Crete’s most famous fresco, the Bull-Leap or Toreador Fresco from Knossos. Its patterns articulate an 8½-year rhythm of lunar/solar time (a cycle that ... -

He called them The Minoans, and the riches of their culture astonished the world, prompting Evans to proclaim them the first civilisation of the Western World.
But was this view unduly romantic? Recent archaeological discoveries have added fascinating layers of complexity to the picture originally painted by Evans.

Introduction to Ancient Greek History (CLCV 205)
In this lecture, Professor Donald Kagan explores the earliest history of Greek civilization. He demonstrates how small agricultural enclaves eventually turned into great cities of power and wealth in the Bronze Age, taking as his examples first Minoan Crete and then Mycenaean Greece. He also argues that these civilizations were closely related to the great monarchies of the ancient Near East. He points out that the Mycenaean age eventually came to an abrupt end probably through a process of warfare and migration. Reconstructing the Mycenaean age is possible through archaeological evidence and through epic poetry (Homer). Finally, he provides an account of the collapse of the Mycenaean world, and explains how in its aftermath, the Greeks were poised to start their civilization over on a new slate.

The Ancient Greeks: Crucible of Civilization - Episode 1: Revolution
It was perhaps the most spectacular flourishing of imagination and achievement in recorded history. In the Fourth and Fifth Centuries BC, the Greeks built an empire that stretched across the Mediterranean from Asia to Spain. They laid the foundations of modern science, politics, warfare and philosophy, and produced some of the most breathtaking art and architecture the world has ever seen. This series, narrated by Liam Neeson, recounts the rise, glory, demise and legacy of the empire that marked the dawn of Western civilization. The story of this astonishing civilization is told through the lives of heroes of ancient Greece. The latest advances in computer and television technology rebuild the Acropolis, recreate the Battle of Marathon and restore the grandeur of the Academy, where Socrates, Plato and Aristotle forged the foundation of Western though. The series combines dramatic storytelling, stunning imagery, new research and distinguished scholarship to render classical Greece gloriously alive.
EPISODE 1: THE REVOLUTION
The first part tells the story of the troubled birth of the world's first democracy, ancient Athens, through the life of an Athenian nobleman, Cleisthenes. In the brutal world of the 5th century BC, the Athenians struggle against a series of tyrants and their greatest rival, Sparta, to create a new "society of equals." This documentary makes history entertaining as well as educational. Beautifully photographed, using reenactments, paintings, maps, pottery, metalwork, and "living statues" to take the viewer on a vicarious journey through ancient Greece. Episode one, The Revolution, begins at the dawn of democracy in 508 B.C., with the revolution of the common people against aristocratic rule. The film then travels further back in time to chronicle the key events leading up to the revolution. As the camera roams ancient ruins, the Greek countryside, and old stone roads, the viewer learns that the inhabitants of Greece once lived in mud houses with no sewage and frequently fell prey to disease and warfare. Unable to write, they memorized their works of literature in order to pass them on to the next generation. Over time, their hardship and learning whetted their appetite for freedom. After rule by tyrants of the aristocratic class and a struggle for power, Cleisthenes (570-507 B.C.), himself an aristocrat, sided with the common people of Athens and brought democracy into being. From this beginning, western democracy developed and flourished. All the while during their early maturation into a Mediterranean power, Athens and other city-states had to live with the threat of war from expansionist Sparta as well as the vast Persian Empire. But democracy had taken root, and it proved in the long run to be a greater force than the mightiest of armies. The program closes on the eve of the new society's first great test: invasion by the mighty empire of Persia.

Secrets of the Aegean Apocalypse - World Documentary Films.
Aegean civilization is a general term for the Bronze Age civilizations of Greece around the Aegean Sea. There are three distinct but communicating and interacting geographic regions covered by this term: Crete, the Cyclades and the Greek mainland. Crete is associated with the Minoan civilization from the Early Bronze Age. The Cyclades converge with the mainland during the Early Helladic ("Minyan") period and with Crete in the Middle Minoan period. From ca. 1450 BC (Late Helladic, Late Minoan), the Greek Mycenaean civilization spreads to Crete.

One of the most powerful myths handed down by the ancient Greeks tells of the fabled King Minos, who ordered the construction of a vast, mazelike building called the labyrinth. Within this structure, he imprisoned the monster known as the Minotaur, a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man that was fed on human sacrifice. For centuries this tale remained no more than legend. And then in the 1890s an archaeologist named Arthur Evans began uncovering, on the island of Crete, the remains of a civilization that flourished between 2500 and 1350 BC. To Evans's surprise, he found the ruins of a great palace with hundreds of interconnected rooms and hallways -- a building so complex that it could easily have impressed visitors as having been as bewildering as a maze. Not only that, the sacred animal of the people who lived there was a bull! Evans called these people "Minoans," after the legendary monarch, and today, thanks to the studies of Evans and others, we know a great deal about them. For centuries, the Minoans had a thriving maritime trade as their ships controlled the sea lanes between Greece, Syria, and Egypt. Their crafts workers were experts in pottery, ivory, metal, and gemstones;their artists painted colorful frescoes;and their architects built great palaces, such as the one discovered by Evans at Knossos. The Minoan civilization disappeared rather suddenly for reasons that are still unclear. Some experts believe they may have been the victims of a gigantic tidal wave that was unleashed by the explosion of a volcano on an island nearby.

This exquisite ivory and gold figurine has been an icon of the ROM collection since she was acquired in 1931, but she has also attracted huge controversy. When she was bought by the ROM, she was believed to be a rare example of a female bull-leaper from the Minoan civilisation of Bronze Age Crete. She was authenticated by Arthur Evans, the authority on the Minoans, who made comparisons with Bronze Age ivory figurines he excavated at the Minoan palace of Knossos. However, with no known archaeological findspot, and only a vague collection history before she came to the museum, she was soon condemned by some scholars as a modern forgery. She was associated with several other suspect `Minoan` figurines made of stone and ivory that appeared on the art market in the early 20th century.
Dr Kate Cooper is currently studying the ROM figurine to determine just what we can say about the authenticity of the ROM figurine in the light of new examination. Joining Kate to talk about the fascinating story of the ROM goddess will be Dr. Ken Lapatin from the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Dr Lapatin has long studied ancient gold and ivory figurines, and is author of Mysteries of the Snake Goddess, an expose of the early 20th century 'Minoan' figurines in several museums around the world.

Interview with Dr. Charles F. Herberger, Jr., August 2015, on his 1972 work The Thread of Ariadne: The Labyrinth of the Calendar of Minos with Dr. Jack Dempsey. Herberger’s central argument is an answer to the two central standing mysteries of Bronze Age Minoan Crete (circa 3000-1425 BCE)---What was their central calendar and rhythm of time, and how did this relate to the Minoans’ tremendous success as the first major European civilization, in whose remains archaeology can find no evidence of a king in any familiar form?
Herberger argues that we find those answers in the overlooked and unique complexities of the border surrounding Minoan Crete’s most famous fresco, the Bull-Leap or Toreador Fresco from Knossos. Its patterns articulate an 8½-year rhythm of lunar/solar time (a cycle that continues in our skies today), anchored---like the “throne” of Knossos itself---in a doubled pair of celestial events: New Moon at Winter Solstice followed by Full Moon at Summer Solstice 6 months later.
These alignments begin, end and begin again this pattern, which according to overwhelming physical evidence and myths of “King Minos” alike, probably served as the central rhythm of Minoan high office, and prevented individuals from imposing in Crete the too-familiar historical patterns of entrenched life-long “royalty” and its political abuse.
The Minoans’ “Great Year” cycle, doubled again, points as well to the longer Saros pattern of lunar/solar eclipses: a rhythm of lights and shadows reflected across central Minoan evidences, from Labrys the double-axe to their extraordinary architecture.
Dempsey, critically investigating Herberger’s evidences in Calendar House (available for free, link below), shows in 9 chapters of new evidence that Herberger’s original insights are correct---and, that these patterns of Minoan time continued down the post-Minoan ages, from “Dark Age” Crete and Cyprus to Homer’s epics, the Biblical Philistines, the Antikythera Mechanism, and the timing of today’s Olympic Games.

Aegean Legacy of Atlantis
Actor Sam Waterston hosts this ten-part series that revisits ancient cultures on four continents. Dramatic re-enactments recall historic events, and attractive location footage provides viewers with interesting information about the featured cultures.
Ancient Aegean Civilization
Aegean civilizations are considered to be the cradle of western culture. Archaeologists, beginning with Heinrich Schliemann, uncovered evidence of the civilizations at Troy, Mycenae, Crete, and possible support for the island of Santorini (formerly Thera) being the lost island of Atlantis.
Legacy of Atlantis
This program searches for the historical roots of some of Western civilization's oldest legends, including an examination of ruins on the Greek island of Thera for the basis of the Atlantis legend; then on to Crete, the Greek mainland and Turkey to look at the Battle of Troy, the Trojan horse, the Minoan king Agamemnon and the Minotaur. Director Jenny Barraclough; narrator Sam Waterston.
Ancient Greece Lost Civilizations
Archaeologists are unearthing data that may support the existence of the island Atlantis, once thought to be only a legend. This is an exploration of the area that is considered to be the cradle of western culture.
Lost Civilization Aegean
The story of Atlantis resonates for us even today with its mythic tale of a once mighty island empire vanquished by the sea. But what if the accounts passed down to us by the likes of Plato rest not on fantasy but on an actual civilazation?
Aegean Ancient Greece
One that left undeniable Proof of its very real existence among the vital, thriving cultures that lived on after Atlantis disappeared into the mists of legend? Now, team up with archaeologists unearthing intriguing new data regarding the history of the region's fascinating, early civilizations.
Ancient Greece
Visit a candidate for the Site of Atlantis on the Greek isle of Thera, where 3,000 Years ago a highly advanced culture was destroyed by the most violent volcanic eruption in human history. Then sail to Crete, Turkey and the Greek mainland on a search for the historical roots of the Battle of Troy with its fabled Trojan Horse, the murdered king Agamemnon and even the origins of the man-eating Minotaur.
Greece Atlantis
From detailed reconstructions of the people who lived during the golden age of the Homeric heroes to startling revelations of human and animal sacrifice, it's a dazzling voyage of discovery into the origins of western Culture.
