The Minoans were an extremely civilized and technological society that had running water, a huge, labyrinthine city on the island of Crete, and a well-established trade business based on their powerful navy. The Minoans believed in the Mother Goddess. Considered to be the society that the tales of Atlantis, and the story of the Minotaur come from, the Minoans were thought to have been destroyed by the eruption of a nearby volcano on the island of Salamis. If their entire civilization wasn't destroyed at this point, it would have been easy for the Myceneans to enter their unwalled cities at this point (which were normally defended by their navy, which would have been destroyed by the huge tsunamis the volcano caused) and enslave the Minoans and destroy their society completely.
