Best Answer

There are several theories, such as that the Minoans on what is currentely Crete, perished by famine, while other scientists spectulate that a volcano on the island of Thera (north of Crete) erupted and caused such massive tidal waves and amounts of falling ash that the knigdom drowned and suffocated. (May have created the legend of the underwter city Atlantis)Other scientists still beleive that an invasion after the eruption on the Island of Thera destroyed the Minoan Civilization.
