Detailed explanation-1: -The reasons for the slow decline of the Minoan civilization, beginning around 1550 BC, are unclear; theories include Mycenaean invasions from mainland Greece and the major volcanic eruption of Santorini.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around 1, 500 B.C., one of the biggest eruptions in Europe’s history affected the Minoan civilization. The volcanic eruption in Thera, destroyed the Minoan settlement in Akrotiri, which had as a consequence the beginning of the end for the Minoan civilization.
Detailed explanation-3: -Possible causes for their collapse include natural disasters such as earthquakes, tidal waves, or volcanic eruptions. Some historians think all three factors-as well as an invasion by people from mainland Greece-contributed to the Minoans’ decline.
Detailed explanation-4: -New study finds: Ancient Mycenaean civilization might have collapsed due to uprising or invasion. For many years, the prevailing theory on how the Mycenaean civilisation collapsed was that devastating earthquakes led to the destruction of its palaces in the Peloponnese, southern Greece around 1, 200 BC.
