Beschreibung

Minoan Civilization explores the fascinating, advanced Bronze Age society that thrived on ancient Crete, centuries before classical Greece. This civilization, known for its unique art, innovative architecture, and complex social structure, left a lasting legacy. The book uncovers how the Minoans, who flourished from around 2700 BCE to 1450 BCE, developed a distinct culture that significantly influenced subsequent Aegean civilizations.

 
Minoan art, with its vibrant frescoes and intricate pottery, offers insights into their beliefs, while the palaces of Knossos and Phaistos showcase advanced engineering and urban planning. The book begins by setting the geographical and historical context, then progresses to analyze Minoan art, architecture, and society in detail.

 
Examining archaeological evidence and scholarly interpretations, it highlights the Minoans' unique contributions, challenging traditional narratives that often overlook their role as a crucial link between the ancient Near East and classical Greece. From governance and economy to religion and daily life, the book provides a comprehensive overview, culminating in a discussion of the civilization's decline and enduring impact.
