How Minoans Lived In A Bronze Age Civilization | Island Of The Minotaur | Unearthed History

Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist, uncovered evidence of the Minoans, a Bronze Age civilization, challenging previous perceptions of their isolation. The Minoans were adept sailors and traders, connecting with other civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean for materials like bronze, which was crucial for their technological advancement. The Minoans left little written records, but their presence was recorded by other cultures they interacted with, such as the Egyptians. The inevitable decline of the Minoan civilization was likely due to a combination of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and the cataclysmic eruption of Thera, and potential internal conflicts, leading to the collapse of their once-flourishing society.

Georgians were in Europe, for example, on Crete, Georgian civilization has been proven, both by writing and as a result of archaeological excavations, so there is no doubt about Crete, and the name Pelasgians, even though Pelazgians is a Georgian name, Crete and Greece are so close, there is no doubt that Georgians were Pelasgians, there are many facts that The ancient Georgian civilization covered all of Europe

What's wrong with it? It's also funny, giving the fact that the whole video format is stretched and distorted, you complain about music.

@@karlkarlos3545it is intrusive, loud, repetitive, harsh & distracting. I have no idea what the content of the video is since the music made it not worth watching.

@@karlkarlos3545pardon my lack of precision. I was referring to your statement concerning the formatting. Cannot speak to that since I stopped watching very early on. Why do you care so much about my opinion ? Originally posted so the creator might reexamine their choice in music for future videos.
