Why did the Minoans kingdom fall?
There are several theories, such as that the Minoans on what is currentely Crete, perished by famine, while other scientists spectulate that a volcano on the island of Thera (north of Crete) erupted and caused such massive tidal waves and amounts of falling ash that the knigdom drowned and suffocated. (May have created the legend of the underwter city Atlantis)Other scientists still beleive that an invasion after the eruption on the Island of Thera destroyed the Minoan civilization.
How were the Minoan and Mycenaean civilization?
The Minoans were the first people to "settle down" in Greece. they were rugged people, so when the Mycenaean came they tought them sea trade, a religion, a language and overall improved their life to become more civilized. The Minoans were more uncivilized people, where as the Mycenaean were more civilized. ______________________________________________________________________ Actually, I believe it's the other way around- The Minoans were very civilized and advanced (think running water and the real-life Atlantis) and the Myceneans were uncivilized "barbarians." The Minoans were a highly developed, very intelligent society that had improved painting, fresco making, travel, boat building, and pot making, as well as developing a huge trade system and navy, and "creating" running water. The Mycenaeans were a bellicose, warlike people who stole ideas from the Minoans and created little for themselves. After the Minoan Civilization fell, many of their advances were lost for centuries until modern technology. The Mycenaeans had no major interests in art and beautiful cities, but in war.
