Pertaining to the ancient civilization of the island of Crete dating from circa 3000-1100 BCE.
The name for the Minoan culture was coined by Sir Arthur Evans after his excavations at the palace of Minos at Knossus (Cnossus) on the island of Crete.
The fall of the Minoan civilization has been dated to circa 1100 BCE and has been attributed to a variety of destructive influences ranging from foreign invasions to the volcanic eruption of the island of Thera; usually described simply as a Bronze Age culture (3000-1200 BCE), the Minoans were second only to the Egyptians in their artistic and architectural development.
