The Minoans were a powerful sea faring people. They lived on Crete, which is an island in the Aegean Sea; the Aegean Sea is located west of Turkey and southeast of Greece. The Minoans lived and dominated Crete from around 3000 BC to 1500 BC. The dates aren't exact though. The Minoans dominated trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. They had a deep culture in the arts. They are assumed to be a peaceful people for excavations done the ruins showed that there were no fortifications. The demise of the Minoans is unknown. Some believe that the natural disasters that had struck the Minoans in their last years is what led to their downfall. Some believe that people from Greece had taken over.
