MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN Knossos is the largest Bronze Age
12 3 4 archaeological site on Crete and is
considered Europe's oldest city.
56 7 8 9 10 11 The site was discovered in 1878 by
Minos Kalokairinos . The
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 excavations in Knossos began in
AD 1900 by the English
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans and
his team, and they continued for
35 years. The palace of Knossos
was undoubtedly the ceremonial
and political centre of the Minoan
civilization and culture. It appears
as a maze of workrooms, living
spaces, and storerooms close to a
central square. An approximate
graphic view of some aspects of
Cretan life in the Bronze Age is
provided by restorations of the
palace's indoor and outdoor
murals, as it is also by the
decorative motifs of the pottery
and the insignia on the seals and
sealings. The palace was
abandoned at some unknown
time at the end of the Late Bronze
Age, c. 1380–1100 BC. In Greek
mythology, King Minos dwelt in a
palace at Knossos. He had
Daedalus construct a labyrinth in
which to retain his son, the
Minotaur.
