What are 2 theories of why the Minoan civilization collapsed in 1450 bc?

Two prominent theories regarding the collapse of the Minoan civilization around 1450 BC are the volcanic eruption of Santorini and the invasion by Mycenaean Greeks. The eruption, which occurred around 1600 BC, likely caused significant environmental and economic disruptions, including tsunamis and agricultural decline. Additionally, the Mycenaeans, who had been influenced by Minoan culture, may have exploited the weakened state of the Minoans, leading to their eventual conquest and assimilation.

How would you describe the Minoan palaces?

The Minoans were an extremely civilized and technological society that had running water, a huge, labyrinthine city on the island of Crete, and a well-established trade business based on their powerful navy. The Minoans believed in the Mother Goddess. Considered to be the society that the tales of Atlantis, and the story of the Minotaur come from, the Minoans were thought to have been destroyed by the eruption of a nearby volcano on the island of Salamis. If their entire civilization wasn't destroyed at this point, it would have been easy for the Myceneans to enter their unwalled cities at this point (which were normally defended by their navy, which would have been destroyed by the huge tsunamis the volcano caused) and enslave the Minoans and destroy their society completely.


How did the ancient Mycenaeans fall?

The Minoan civ was (probably) destroyed by a major earthquake and the tsunamis that followed.There is no evidence that Minoans and Mycenaens ever fought, it was a gradual transition from one civ to the other.

Search up the Minoans end on Wikipedia for in depth research on there destruction.
