Greece. Palaces of Minoan Crete [Seven days of history]
Minoan civilization — belonging to the Aegean civilization of the Bronze Age of the island of Crete (2700-1400 BC). The main centers of culture and civilization were the so-called palaces — complex economic and political complexes, the largest of which existed in Knossos, Festus, Zakros and Tilissa. The culture is named after the mythical king Crete Minos — the owner of the labyrinth, built, according to legend, Daedalus.
The Minoans conducted active sea trade (the island was located at the intersection of the main sea trade routes), engaged in piracy, maintained friendly relations with Ancient Egypt. None of the palaces had fortifications: obviously, the inhabitants of the island felt completely safe.
