Detailed explanation-1: -Minoan civilization, Bronze Age civilization of Crete that flourished from about 3000 bce to about 1100 bce. Its name derives from Minos, either a dynastic title or the name of a particular ruler of Crete who has a place in Greek legend.
Detailed explanation-2: -The British archeologist Sir Arthur Evans in the early 1900s named the Minoans after a legendary Greek king, Minos. Based on similarities between Minoan artifacts and those from Egypt and Libya, Evans proposed that the Minoan civilization founders migrated into the area from North Africa.
Detailed explanation-3: -Notable centres of power in the Minoan age were the palatial centres of Knossos, Phaistos, Malia, Zakros and Kydonia, which are distributed in different geographical units, from the eastern to the western end of Crete.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Minoans were not only farmers of olives, but fine craftsmen, making pieces of jewelry, pottery, seals and figurines.
