Flourishing from the 3rd to the middle of the 2nd millennium BC/BCE, the Minoan people resided on the island of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin and are characterized as a Bronze Age mercantile civilization. Their civilizational origins and development period (i.e., pre-3rd millennium) extend back several thousand years, with archaeological evidence suggesting the presence of humans on Crete many thousands of years even further back in time.
