Originally it was thought an enormous volcanic eruption on Thera, 70 miles away, covered Crete in a layer or ash thick enough to kill plant life, leading the people to starve to death. Now it is generally thought, though there was a small layer of ash deposited on the island, the Mycenaeans invaded Crete from the mainland, killed the population, and took control of the island.

What is no a theory on why the Minoan civilization disappeared?
You cannot put multiple choice questions in WikiAnswers; there's no way for you to enter the distractors. However... The Minoan civilization was likely destroyed by the explosion of a volcano called Thera. The resulting tsunami and rain of volcanic ash would have crippled Minos, making it an easy conquest by Egypt or the Phoenicians.
