Why did the Minoan civilization vanish?
About 1450 B.C., the Minoan civilization suddenly collapsed. Some historians think undersea earthquakes caused giant waves that washed away the Minoan's cities. Others think the cities were destroyed by a group of Greeks from the mainland. These invaders were called the Mycenaeans.
When did the Minoan civilization thrive on Crete?
The Minoans thrived from 2700 to 1450 BC. Though the first inhabitants of Crete settled in 128,000 BCE, the Minoan culture was not established until the 28th or 27th century BCE.
Who discovered the Minoan civilization and when?
i think it's Arthur Evans. because i have this question on one of my work sheets. and here's what it says. "In A.D.1900 a British archaeologist named Arthur Evans discovered a large palace at Knossos in north-central Crete. This palace belonged to a civilization that Evans called the Minoan civilization, named after the legendary King Minos of the labyrinth. This civilization flourished on Crete between 2000 and 1450 B.C."
What almost destroyed Crete in 1450 bc?

Which came first Greece or Moses?
Even assuming that Moses was a historical figure that lived during the dates commonly suggested, roughly 1300 B.C.E., it depends on your definition of "Greece". The Minoan Civilization on Crete is usually considered a "Greek-ish" civilization. It shares much in common with what we think of as traditional Greek civilization, but has a number of distinct qualities. The Minoan Civilization was certainly older than Moses, existing from 2600-1450 B.C.E. Moses was contemporaneous with the Mycenaean civilization and specifically the accepted dates of the Trojan War. The Mycenaean Civilization was from 1600-1100 B.C.E.However, the Ancient Greece that kids are usually taught about in High School, e.g. Classical Greece, with the city-states of Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Argos, where Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Pericles lived, came long after Moses, from roughly 700-300 B.C.E.

What was the Minoan?
It was a sophisticated Bronze Age culture on the island of Crete, from about 3000 BC to 1450 BC. It was not Greek until later, when large elements of the culture passed into Classical Greece. It seems to have been a monarchy. City-state democracy may have begun among the Phonecians and was later taken up by the Greeks. Minoan Civilization began on the island of Crete in about 3000 BC. It lasted for 1500 years. Minoans traded with ancient Egyptians and Babylonians and learned writing from them. They also learned different skills such as making pottery and jewelry and building palaces. Around 1500 BC, the island of Crete was hit by an earthquake and a major volcanic eruption on the island of Thera. The Minoan civilization ended when the Mycenaeans (in southern Greece) conquered it in 1450 BC. The Mycenaeans were warlike people and had a strong army,they knew how to use metal and make pottery.They had their civilization through learning Minoans. Around 1100 BC, the Mycenaean civilization itself ended when the Dorians (from the northern Balkan peninsula) conquered it.
