Most ancient civilizations..like Egyptians..assyrians and Mayans..their artwork always depicts violence..someone getting beheaded or run through..Minoan art is different..they always look like they are on Holiday
Definitely portrays an Aegean Utopia of sorts!
Being that Crete was pretty isolated you gotta figure they wouldn't have had to do much in the way of military defense.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Just a few Hittite incursions..that didnt last long when they realized that sustaining supply lives over water was too challenging
They sounded like joyful, peaceful people who were taken advantage of ❤
@@kaerajpetera That's just plain wrong, there have been uncovered military fortifications and weaponry on the island of Crete. The conception of a Pax Minoica was developed by Evans when he had an incomplete understanding of the Minoans from his initial excavations. More recent excavations have shown guard towers, defensive trenches, and the like up until roughly the MM period, at which point they became less common on the island of Crete itself and more common in the Aegean dominated by what was seemingly a Minoan "Empire" or sphere of influence over the Cyclades and wider Aegean, probably headed by Knossos.
Been there... what amazed me was their water and sewage system.
thankyou so much for this informative video
SLOW DOWN THE CAPTIONS
No
I like reading something at my own casual pace. Although not as brief a time as I've experienced elsewhere, was anyone able to read all of the words before the video moved on?
I cant be the only one here for school
don't worry your not
Wealth of information but it’s a shame that some of it very hard to read against some of the backgrounds.
Had to turn down the audio.
There is a sketch so photocopin
Aren't our archeologists so open minded and smart? They can conclude that it wasn't a military site because a 3,500 year old site is devoid of weapons? So as the people roaming around the countryside came across these structures they explored them and they were suppose to what, leave the weapons there so that historians could confirm that it was a fort? As for the "throne" connected to the wall and the bowl on the floor, that looks more like an alter and sacrificial bowl to me. I mean why would you have a room with bars on the windows and a plane rock chair for a throne room?
Hello talent_show, I would just like to let you know i dont think anyone cares quite kindly
