The Dolphin Fresco is from the ancient Minoans Culture/civilisation in crete
Ancient Minoan refers to the civilization that flourished on the island of Crete during the Aegean Bronze Age, approximately from 2600 to 1100 BCE. The term "Minoan" specifically describes the culture, art, and archaeological findings associated with this civilization, named after the legendary King Minos. Therefore, while ancient Minoan pertains to the culture and people of ancient Crete, they are not synonymous; Minoan is a descriptor of the civilization that developed on the island of Crete.

Sir Arthur Evans was a British archaeologist known for his excavation of the ancient city of Knossos on the island of Crete. He is credited with popularizing the concept of the Minoan civilization and coined the term "Minoan" to describe the culture of ancient Crete. His work at Knossos laid the foundation for our understanding of ancient Aegean civilizations.
Minoan culture (Crete).
Greek mythology plays a significant role in the history and culture of Crete by influencing its art, literature, and traditions. Many ancient Greek myths and legends originated in Crete, such as the story of King Minos and the Minotaur. These myths have shaped the identity of the island and are reflected in its architecture, festivals, and beliefs.
Crete
Much of the Egyptian influence in Crete can be seen in artwork from approximately 4000 to 3000 years ago. Many Cretan statues have strong poses such as those commonly seen in Egyptian artwork. Also, a number of Egyptian cults (such as the cult of Isis) were found in Crete. The Minoan (Cretan) and Ancient Egyptian Civilizations had a high regard for one another and trade numerous items.
