MC's Minoans

Centered on the island of Crete, largest island of the Aegean, the Minoan civilisation was both technologically and culturally one of the most advanced nations of its age. Renowned across the eastern Mediterranean for the quality of their frescoes and palatial architecture, Minoan artisans were in high demand throughout the bronze age as word of their skill followed the trade routes, with Minoan frescoes adorning palaces as far away as Egypt. But their skill was not limited to peaceful endeavour, indeed the Minoan navy was greatest and most powerful fleet in the Mediterranean, serving to protect both Minoan holdings and her trade routes from piracy and invasion. However, no navy could protect the Minoans from Thera, a supervolcano just kilometres north of Crete, the eruption of which brought about the end of the Minoan civilisation in but a single day and night, adding the legend of Atlantis as one of the many mythological tales inspired by Europe's first great civilisation.
