Knossos was an elaborate palace built around 7,000 BC on the island of Crete by the Minoan civilization. It was designed by Dedalos and covered around 5.5 acres, containing over 1,400 rooms decorated with frescoes. The palace had advanced plumbing systems for water supply, drainage, and waste removal. It also served as an important trade hub, exchanging goods with areas across the Mediterranean. Knossos was eventually destroyed by earthquakes and fire around 1700 BC but excavations and reconstruction beginning in the late 1800s by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans have revealed insights into Minoan civilization.

It was designed by Dedalos and covered around 5.5 acres, containing over 1,400 rooms decorated with frescoes. The palace had advanced plumbing systems for water supply, drainage, and waste removal. It also served as a political and economic center, trading goods like copper, ivory and precious stones throughout the Mediterranean region. However, Knossos was damaged by fire around 1700 BC and eventually destroyed by an earthquake, after which it lay in ruins until excavations by Sir Arthur Evans in the early 1900s led to reconstruction efforts that continue today.

Minoan art
The document summarizes Minoan art and architecture from the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete between 1700-1450 BC. Some of the highlights mentioned include frescoes from the Queen's Megaron depicting daily life, a fresco of bull leaping sport, and various sculptures including a bull's head rhyton and circular ivory box with a charging bull image.
Ancient civilization’s home
The document describes housing in several ancient civilizations including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, China, and modern Canada. It notes that Mesopotamian houses were made of mud bricks and centered around temples. Egyptian houses were also constructed of mud and straw bricks. Greek homes typically had a central courtyard and separate living areas for men and women. Chinese houses differed between the poor, who lived in single room structures of packed earth, and the rich, who inhabited large, multi-room complexes within high walled compounds. Canadian homes today usually have grass lawns and flowers out front and are made primarily of wood.
Minoans web
The document summarizes information about the ancient Minoan civilization that originated on the island of Crete around 2800 BCE. The Minoans were a seafaring people who built grand palaces, like the palace at Knossos, their capital city. They traded extensively by sea and had advanced architecture, plumbing, and infrastructure. The Minoans disappeared around 1450 BCE, possibly due to a large tsunami and volcanic eruption. The Mycenaeans then took over rule of the Mediterranean sea, learning much of their advanced culture from the Minoans.
Nicosia.....
The document summarizes the history of division in Nicosia, Cyprus. It describes how the Green Line was established in 1974 to divide the Greek and Turkish areas of Nicosia following conflict. It cut through Ledra Street, separating the wealthy Greek side from the crumbling Turkish side. Over time, more crossings along the buffer zone were opened, and finally in 2008 the wall dividing Ledra Street was demolished, reconnecting the two sides after 32 years of separation.

CAPE HISTORY UNIT ONE Evidence of nordic movements in pre
There is evidence from several sources that Norse people from Scandinavia reached the Americas before Christopher Columbus. Oral histories and written sagas from Iceland describe Norse explorers reaching lands that archaeologists have identified as Baffin Island, Labrador, and Newfoundland between the 10th-11th centuries. Artifacts excavated at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, including iron nails, butternut shells, and woodworking tools, indicate the Norse established a small settlement there. Maps from the 15th century also depict an area of North America called Vinland. Together, the archaeological, botanical, written, and cartographic evidence suggests the Norse had contact with the pre-Columbian Americas.

The Middle Ages by Filip, Wout, Kimi, and Daniel
Castles were built during the Middle Ages to protect kings, queens, and their lands from invaders. They were constructed with thick stone walls around a central keep and surrounded by a moat for added defense. While not very comfortable, castles served as homes for royalty and nobility as well as military strongholds. Over time, castles evolved from basic wooden fortresses to elaborate stone structures with private chambers, though always prioritizing defense over luxury. By the late Middle Ages, some castles fell into disrepair while others were converted into grand homes as the feudal system declined.

Minoan civilization
The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete between approximately 2000 BCE to 1500 BCE. They developed an advanced, centralized society with large palaces that administered outlying towns and villages. Minoan art, architecture, and technology were highly advanced for the Bronze Age. The Minoan civilization declined rapidly around 1500 BCE, possibly due to the eruption of the Thera volcano and an invasion by the Mycenaeans.

Hum2220 ancient aegean art
The document provides an overview of the ancient Aegean civilizations including the Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean cultures. It focuses on the Cycladic culture based in the Cyclades islands, known for marble figurines found in graves. It also details the highly sophisticated Minoan civilization that grew up around palace centers on Crete, oriented around trade and bureaucracy. Specific artifacts and sites discussed include the palace at Phaistos on Crete and the later palace at Knossos, uncovered by Sir Arthur Evans, which brought to light the previously unknown Minoan civilization.
Knossos
Knossos is an important archaeological site located in Crete that contains the remains of the largest Bronze Age palace on the island. The palace of Knossos served as the ceremonial and political center of the Minoan civilization. While it likely contained rooms for royal family, most of the complex was designed to serve civic, religious, and economic functions, making it more accurate to describe Knossos as a palace complex rather than just a royal residence.
Art history lecture 5 aegean art
The three Bronze Age civilizations that arose in the Aegean region were the Cycladic civilization on the Cycladic Islands, the Minoan civilization on Crete, and the Mycenaean civilization in Greece. The Minoans were renowned sea traders and their palace at Knossos featured impressive frescoes. Archaeological discoveries of these civilizations were made by Heinrich Schliemann in Greece and Sir Arthur Evans in Crete in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Their artistic traditions included fresco painting, metalworking, and advanced architectural techniques like corbelled vaults.

The Minoans of Ancient Crete
The Minoans were the first Greek civilization that developed around 4000 years ago on the island of Crete. The largest and most important site from this civilization is the Bronze Age palace at Knossos, the capital of Crete. Built in 2000 BCE, the palace at Knossos housed the king and served as the center of government, business, and religious life for the Minoans according to excavations. While Greek mythology associates the palace with King Minos and the Minotaur, archaeologists found no evidence of an actual labyrinth and the legends were likely based on caves near the palace. The Minoan civilization and its palace were ultimately destroyed by mainland Greeks around 3400 years ago.
Mycenaean civilization
The Mycenaean civilization flourished during the period roughly between 1600 BC. It perished with the collapse of bronze age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Mycenaean civilization flourished in ancient Greece between 1600-1100 BC, with major city-states located at Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Athens, and Thebes.
