Description
Info: Continuing with my Greek landmarks and places of interest, a smaller scenery this time, Knossos palace, a ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilisation and culture on the island of Crete. Also called Europe's oldest city. You can see the excellent details of the site in most places, but sometimes it can look a little bit off. Generally a useful add on for those who want a reason to visit the island or do VFR tourism. (or if you are a Greek yourself)
How to install: Drag and drop the folder from the .zip , in your "Community" folder. That's it, enjoy!!
Trivia: Knossos (also Cnossos, Greek: Κνωσός, is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and has been called Europe's oldest city.Settled as early as the Neolithic period, the name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The palace of Knossos eventually became the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. The palace was abandoned at some unknown time at the end of the Late Bronze Age, c. 1,380–1,100 BC. The reason why is unknown, but one of the many disasters that befell the palace is generally put forward.In the First Palace Period (around 2,000 BC), the urban area reached a size of as many as 18,000 people. In its peak, the palace and surrounding city boasted a population of 100,000 people shortly after 1,700 BC.*
