Aegean Architecture

The house of Minos is Crete. The building of Minos is made of crate which is usually filled with clay brick. The center of all cities in Minos is a multi-storey palace with a large courtyard in the center G91, 1, 3

In the first stage of the history of Minoa, in the period before the palace (3000 BC - 2000 BC) Minos was a non-city culture (including the palace, therefore this term) lacking large-scale architecture. The subsequent court era (2000 BC - 1400 BC) was a magnificent period of Minoan culture, during which they prospered as urban civilization. The palace is the most important type of building in Minos

Minos' greatest palace was built in Knossos, the capital of Minos. The building has hundreds of rooms for bedroom, office, studio, art studio, storage room. Therefore, in the ruling class residence, Minoa Palace became the center of urban business G91, 1

Mycenae people built their culture firmly in Minos' culture, as proved in a general architectural style. They became civilization in the court era, then they dominated the Aegean Sea for the second century. An era known as Mycene (about 1400 to 1200). Unlike Minos (perhaps mostly depending on maritime defense), Mycenae used enormous defense walls to surround their city 3 Ruins of these walls include Mycenae, the most important civilization It is stored in several places. city

The typical Mycenae Palace has a rectangular hole in the center and small rooms on both sides. Known as Megaron, the central hall has a magnificent entrance with a pouch (covered pouch with pillars). This is megaron.D 46 - 47, 1, 3 developed by the Greek temple.

However, there are few survivors of the Mycenae Palace. The most important existing Mycenae building is the treasure of Atleus which is the "grave of the hive" of Miami.

The art and architecture of the ancient Aegean Sea was mainly built by three cultures: Cyclades, Minos, Mycene. Most of Cycladic's works are geometric female statues carved with marble. Minos is a successful businessman who built a large palace and decorated with colorful animals and mural paintings of nature. Mycene is also a trader, but they are also active in the army. They are warriors, they built the Great Palace with a fortress with a huge stone wall

The ancient Cycladic culture flourished on the islands of the Aegean Sea. With the Minoan civilization of 3300 BC BC and Greek Mycenae the Cyclades were listed as one of the three cultures of the Aegean Sea. Thus Cycladic art includes one of the three major branches of the Aegean art. Almost all the information on Neolithic art of Cyclades is from Antiparos Saliagos excavation site. Pottery of this period is similar to the pottery of Crete Island and the mainland of Greece. Sinclair Hood wrote as follows. "The unique shape is a tall bowl comparable to the type that occurred during the late neolithic age."

The art of the Aegean Sea is art that was born in the Greek seas and islands of the Aegean Sea, usually around the 11th century BC, before the ancient Greek art started. The Aegean art category includes the golden mask, the image of war, the castle on the hill, the wall of 20 feet thick, the tunnel into the bedrock, the art of Cyclades, the simplicity of Mycenae Art is included. The statue of the famous "Venus" is carved with white marble and the art of Minos is known for its images of animals, image of harvest, light, breeze and non-war architecture, which is opposite to the art of Mycenae. With all these elements in mind, the term "art of the Aegean Sea" is regarded as the design of many art historians as it contains a wide range of culturally diverse arts in the same area in the same period .
