Minoans

Named by the legendary King Minos, the Minoans inhabited what is now concrete since 3000-1000 BC. In Greek mythology, is the land of Minoan bull of Crete and his son, whose body mythical creature half-man half-bull, who lived in the labyrinth and kill anyone who entered.In fact, the Minoans were the first known civilization in Europe.Today all that remains of the Minoan civilization is their castle and artefak2. Minoan civilization was one of social organization, art and commerce.Early Minoans used a language that we call Linear A, which during the period was later replaced by the Linear B, which is based on pictographs. There is no evidence of any military culture that is found in Minoan palaces and apparently their force is purely economic forces.Although the Minoans fell, their culture inherited by Myceaneans and then forwarded by the Hellenistic Greeks
