Ancient Minoan Art and Architecture

The Minoan civilization was an Aegean civilization that emerged on the island of Crete and other Aegean islands, and lasted from approximately 3650 to 1400 BCE, when it was overrun by Mycenaean Greeks. No Minoan artifacts made of wood or textiles have survived to the present. The best preserved examples of Minoan art are pottery, and palace architecture with frescos that include stone carvings, intricately carved seal stones, and landscapes.
