Knossos is also the center of the city of Knossos, the ancient city of Crete, the legendary capital of King Minos, and the earliest center of Aegue Civilization Minas (see Minos Civilization). The ruins of Knossos are between the intersection of two streams, about 8 miles inland of the northern coast of Crete Island (8 km). In 1900, Sir Arthur Evans began excavating in Knossos and introduced the palace which is the center of the complex culture of the Bronze Age from 1600 to 1400 BC and its surrounding buildings. The Aegean Sea was ruled in the meantime.
The first inhabitant of Knossos came from Anatolia in the 7th century BC and may have established an agricultural society based on wheat and livestock. At the beginning of the early Minos era (3000 BC - 2000), they began using bronze to make glassware potteries, sculpture seals, gold jewelry. I devised a script of hieroglyphs and traded with Egyptians. The first palace of Knossos was built in the center of Minos Island (2000 BC to 1950 BC). It consists of an isolated structure built around a rectangular coat. In the meantime, Knossos made beautiful colored pottery on the black glass floor. A devastating earthquake occurred in most of Knossos around 1720 BC. This time the palace was rebuilt in a staircase linking a wide colonnade and different buildings in the hilly area. The ruins of this palace occupy the remains of today's excavation survey. The administrative division and the ceremonial section of the palace are on the west side of the central courtyard, and the king Kosos king plaster chair is still in the throne room of this area. There is also a narrow basement in this area of the palace, which serves as a storage magazine for wheat, oil and treasure. The seminar is on the northeast side of the central court and the residence is in the southeast. A well-designed drainage system, pipes and pipes provide water and sanitation to the palace and complexes throughout the city are connected via paved roads to other Crete towns and harbors. The art of Minos mural pain peaked at this time, dance, sports, dolphin scene was done in naturalist style. Minos also replaced their hieroglyphics with linear characters called Linear A.
Beginning around 1580 BC, Minos' culture and influence began to spread to the mainland of Greece, where it further developed and became Mycene culture. Next, Mycenae dominated Knossos at some point in the fifteenth century BC. The linear A script is replaced by another script B. This is the same as the script used by Mycenae, and is generally regarded as a Greek prototype. Detailed administrative records of Line B found in Knossos show that the Mycenae rulers of the city dominated the majority of the central and western part of Crete.
About 1 year after 1400 BC, the so-called "final palace of Evans" Knossos was destroyed by an uncertain fire destroying many other villages of Crete. Knossos then became a simple town, the political focus of the Aegean world moved to Mycenae on the mainland of Greece. Knossos continued to live for several centuries, but the scale has been sharply reduced
