Minoan Civilization: A History from Beginning to End Hourly History

Discover the remarkable history of the Minoan Civilization...
The Minoan Civilization has, since its rediscovery in the early twentieth century by archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, been a source of fascination for the modern world. Some have claimed it represents evidence of a matriarchal society given its progressive treatment of women; others believe it to be the mythical lost city of Atlantis. One area of consensus is that it's the first advanced civilization in Europe.

The archaeological remains include massive building complexes, tools, a writing system, and evidence for a huge trade network. In fact, they even had flush toilets. The influence of this important culture went far beyond the island borders as the Minoan trade network brought them into contact with numerous cultures throughout the Aegean region. Research continues to reveal interesting new facts even as mysteries remain-the Minoan system of writing, for example, has yet to be deciphered.

This book presents what is known about the history of this intriguing civilization, which promises to hold our fascination for years to come.
