82. A HISTORY OF MINOAN CULTURE Wherever the Minoan peoples came from before emigrating to crete (many scholars believethey originated in Asia Minor), their culture was more Asian than Greek http://www.ancientworlds.net/aw/Article/317356

New! The Orient Rome Hellas Egypt ... Site Library Library of Hellas Search Articles: Title and Summary A HISTORY OF MINOAN CULTURE Historical Article by Jot Ariston ( Articles Posted Apr 28, 2004 There is evidence that people lived on Crete as early as 6,000. After the conclusion of the Bronze Age, the archeological periods are defined by the palaces excavated thus far and are known as: Pre-palace period 2600-1900 BC First palace period 1900-1700 BC Second palace period 1700-1380 BC Post-palace period 1380-1100 BC Sub-Minoan period 1100-1000 BC Bronze Age Period, Pre-Palace Period Wherever the Minoan peoples came from before emigrating to Crete (many scholars believe they originated in Asia Minor), their culture was more Asian than Greek. But as the Minoans developed their culture and their trading - they were the best sailors of their period in the ancient world - they also developed an unusually wealthy culture, unusual in that there was apparently little poverty from the excavations done to date. This position was, in fact, particularly favorable, both for the Minoan domination of the sea, and for the growth and development of their wonderful civilization. It was the crossroads linking three continents, and the racial elements and cultural strands of Asia, Africa and Europe met and mingled here to produce a new way of life, a new philosophy of the world and an exceptionally fine art that still strikes one today with its freshness, charm, variety, and mobility.

Greece Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps Introduction Having exported chaos, drama, tragedy and democracy before most nations stayed up late enough to want souvlaki, Greece boasts an unrivalled legacy. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world - the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus. From smoggy Athens to blindingly bright islands, ancient fragments abound - the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete and even, quite possibly, the remnants of Atlantis at Santorini. Greeks are fierce guardians of tradition, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to have fun. In addition, hot sun and limpid seas conspire to make Greece a perfect place to relax. Whether you're supping in a beachside taverna , sipping coffee in a shady plateia or disco-dancing till dawn, chances are the gods already have you ensnared.

Questions about the nature of being human, the nature of our private and social obligations, and faith and its relation to reason, are discussed in many of our courses. We discuss the historical dimensions of these questions, how answers to them have developed historically, and how both questions and answers have shaped the growth of our civilization. Students do this through such religion courses as Introduction to the Bible and special studies in such areas as Genesis and Revelation. In a non-religious context, they see many of the same concerns arising in such courses as Ethics or Ancient or Medieval Philosophy. In all courses, a major emphasis is to help students develop the ability to think knowledgeably, rationally, and critically for themselves. Thus, at the end of the major, each student completes a senior thesis, in which he or she has the opportunity to work closely with one member of the department to explore in depth an issue the student chooses.

A unique opportunity to actively explore the ideas that have shaped Western civilization awaits highly motivated students who may spend a spring semester studying on the Mediterranean island of Crete. CREDO in Crete is a capstone academic experience for high-ability students participating in Concordia's intellectually rigorous honors program. CREDO is distinguished by outstanding professors, stimulating discussions and the development of intellectual and social relationships. This optional semester abroad has been specially designed for third-year CREDO students. Accompanied by two Concordia professors, students and faculty will live in a residential, off-season resort hotel in Crete and travel to important archaeologic sites in Greece and Egypt. Students may also travel independently over a 10-day spring break and have the option of joining an archaeologic dig in Israel at the conclusion of the semester. From January to early May, students will study the history, religion, and culture of Western civilization's birthplaces. They will visit places like Aristotle's lyceum in Athens, the sacred Greek sanctuary at Delphi, the fabled Minoan ruins at Knossos, and the early Christian community of Ephesus, Turkey. Based in Gouves, a small village east of Crete's capital and largest city, Iraklion, the program collaborates with professors from the University of Crete and the Institute for Islamic Studies in Istanbul. Students use the World Wide Web, Internet and e-mail to do research and keep in touch with friends and relatives.

Minoan Culture , Bronze Age culture that developed on the island of Crete prior to the coming of the Greeks. It is one of three principal cultures of Aegean civilization; the other two are the Cycladic culture, which developed in the Cyclades, and the Mycenaean, which developed on mainland Greece in late Helladic times. Minoan culture reached its height in the 2nd millennium BC at Knossos, Phaestos, Mallia, and other flourishing centers. The kings of Knossos attained their greatest power about 1600 BC, when they controlled the entire Aegean area and traded extensively with Egypt. The destruction of Knossos and the collapse of Minoan culture coincided with the beginning of the most flourishing period of Mycenaean civilization in Greece; this coincidence suggests that the warlike Mycenaeans attacked and destroyed the Minoan civilization. Excavations on Crete after 1900 revealed some 3000 clay tablets inscribed with two scripts, called Linear A and Linear B. The earlier of the two, employed by the Minoans, was Linear A and it was already flourishing about 1750 BC; it has not been deciphered. Minoans also added inked Linear A inscriptions to stone and terra-cotta vessels. A unique clay disk found at the site of Phaestos is often adduced as the earliest example of printing—that is, reproducing written text by using "letter" stamps; the disk was stamped on both sides, while still wet, with a series of sealstones comprising a set of 45 symbols. Linear B tablets were found on Crete and also at Pylos and Mycenae on the Greek mainland; the majority of tablets are dated between 1400 BC and 1150 BC. In 1952 the British architect and cryptographer Michael Ventris and John Chadwick deciphered Linear B and identified the language it transcribes as an early Greek dialect.

The museum spans a period starting several thousand years ago, through the Minoan, post-Minoan and later periods.

96. Greek Island Of Crete Not everybody cares about tradition or is enamoured with the cultureof crete. Some people just want to get hot, wet and drunk. http://www.greecetravel.com/crete/

The Island of Crete Sometimes people send me their desired itineraries to Greece for comment and suggestions. Many times along with their 3 days in Mykonos and two days in Santorini they want to do 2 days in Crete. My advise to them is to forget it. Unless they have at least a week to spend on Crete, I tell them to go elsewhere. Crete is simply too big and too mutli-dimensional to breeze in and out of for a couple days. It would be like stopping in New York for a couple hours. What's the point if all you will see is Times Square? But I have come to praise Crete, not to discourage those travelers who come to Greece looking for the real thing. Crete is spectacular and if you take the time to get to know it, you will probably return. Getting to Crete Getting to Crete is easy. If you are a backpacker you simply take the subway to Pireaus sometime before 6pm, decide which port in Crete you want to arrive at, buy a ticket and get on the boat. It's a 12 hour trip and if it is a warm summer night and you are in your sleeping bag under the stars on the top deck you may never want the journey to end. If you prefer a cabin then you should get your tickets in advance through a

Greek Hotels Online Reservation Crete - Kriti KRITI, CRETE, or KRETE, Latin CRETA, Venetian CANDIA, island in the eastern Mediterranean that is an administrative region of Greece. The center of one of the oldest and most important civilizations, the ancient Minoan civilization, the southernmost point of Europe where its name originated and to which it owes so much. The meeting point of three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa - and the cradle of most of what we know as classical civilization which has been so instrumental in shaping our world today. This is the legendary birthplace of Zeus, the king of the gods, and where he took his beloved Europa and where she gave birth to the later King Minoas, the mythical all-powerful king of Crete and creator of the fabulous palace of Knossos and the Minoan civilization. Crete has so much to offer and so much that people envy that at times Romans, Arabs, Venetians and Turks all envied it but, however much they tried, they never conquered it!. And this is where the most peripatetic of all Apostles, Apostle Paul, started his quest to bring Christianity to Europe. In fact, after he appointed Titus as bishop in 65AD, Gortyn became the first Christian community in Greece and Europe. Crete can boast many famous sons and daughters such as the El Greco (Diminikos Theotokopoulos), the literature laureate Odysseus Elytis, Nikos Kazantzakis, the League of Nations pioneer and later Prime Minister of Greece Eleftherios Venizelos and so many other cultural and social icons of the Greek and non-Greek world, living or dead.

The Moon Over Crete Previous Excerpt Next Excerpt November 14, 1995 Jyotsna Sreenivasan, author of The Moon Over Crete EvaS: Our guest tonight is Jyotsna Sreenivasan, author of "The Moon Over Crete". It's a book for 8 years and up, but I loved it. :D Jo, please tell us about the book. Would you outline the plot a bit, please? Jyotsnas: Sure. It's a time-travel adventure novel. Lily, the main character, goes back in time to ancient Crete, where women and men are equal. She has various adventures there and experiences for herself what true equality would feel like. EvaS: Why did you create this world in the first place? What did you have in mind? Jyotsnas: I have always been a feminist. Feminism works for equality between women and men, but I feel that many people don't understand what equality is. They can't imagine it. They think if women are "equal" it must mean women would rule over men. Because the only thing we see around us are some people on the top, and most others at the bottom. So I wanted to help children envision a world of equality. I thought children would be more amenable to influence than adults! :) No, really, I remembered how when I was a girl. I believed everything I read! So, I wanted to give kids some good egalitarian values. ElephasMax: I was just wondering if the choice of Crete was arbitrary or if they really were equal there back then. From what I know of Athens and Sparta, I would naturally assume Crete to be the same.

"With the help of Egyptian synchronisms", writes Mr. H. R. Hall, "we know that the Minoan civilization was nearly, if not quite, as old as the Egyptian. . . . If we date the beginnings of Egyptian history about 3500 B.C., we have not long to wait before we find indisputable traces of connection between Egypt and Crete."
