I've been to Knossos and Gournia, whose existence I only learned of because we happened to drive past it on the way back to Istro, where we were staying. I have to return to Crete at least to visit the palaces of Malia and Phaistos.

Great job. Very interesting work. I love the details of the villages and the topography, geography

[@WanaxTV]

Thank you very much, appreciate it. Yes, I thought it would be nice to have a refreshed topography style for the Minoan series!

[@joellundqvist9598]

Minoan are same time, as egypt and they not seem to know about each other? And not far distance?

[@sterkar99]

They did but not so extensively. It was probably still pretty far away for those times

[@joellundqvist9598]

@@sterkar99 no ut was not far away. Better to understand The bigger time difference that they not manage to handle, most of antik history is realy not near The actual date

[@someanthropologist]

They did know each other. We have evidence of trade (e.g. Minoan pottery) in Egypt and iconography and inscriptions about a people that Egyptians called Keftiu.

Have you read Nanno Marinatos books? You have to read those books. There are multiple errors in your statements.

I wonder what population of crete was 2000 bc. Its only 650 000 now

[@virginalax44]

Could you post your sources?

[@Fonseca429]

Texts are needed.

Hi as a Christian. We believe the Earth is around 7,000 years old. We believe creation happened in 6 literal 24 hour days. So, Lets just say at 1:50 those date to about 5,000 bc. So, First there was the one continent then the flood happened. How did the descendants of Ham (Egyptians) or Japhet (Europeans) son of Noah get to Crete?

Do you see how crazy your biblical narrative sounds? That’s why it doesn’t lineup lol 😂

Um so what about dinosaurs and mammoths and other pre historic creatures carbon dated 1000s of years old sometimes millions. The earth is okder than 7000 years old and adam and eve were not here first as dinosaurs and trees were.i doubt they were made of clay. Weird how they have english names There are dwarf elephant remains miniature elephants on tilos near rhodes. Thats a fact..
