Detailed explanation-1: -The Minoans decorated their palaces with true fresco painting (buon fresco), that is, the painting of colour pigments on wet lime plaster without a binding agent so that when the paint is absorbed by the plaster it is fixed and protected from fading.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Minoans were a Bronze Age Aegean civilization, one that predated the classical Greeks and Romans. Originating around 3000 BCE on the island of Crete, the Minoans built some of the first cities in Europe, created art and pottery, and were seafarers who traded throughout the Mediterranean.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Minoans were not only farmers of olives, but fine craftsmen, making pieces of jewelry, pottery, seals and figurines. Their bronze work places this civilization in the Bronze Age. At the height of their civilization, between 2, 000-1400 BC, the Minoans developed a palace-centered civilization.
