There are several theories about what happened to the Minoan Civilization on Crete, which was named after its first king, King Minos, in 1500 B.C.E. when it suddenly vanished. Some theories argue that the Minoans were subject to man-made destruction, such as wide-scale domestic riots in Knossos and throughout Minoa or invasions from Greek mainlanders like the Myceneans. Some theories argue that the Minoans were destroyed by natural causes, such as an earthquake or the ash from Mediterranean volcanoes, like the one that blew apart the island of Santorini.
