On the island of Crete, the first advanced civilization on European soil emerged around 2000 BC, which still arouses amazement in modern observers and poses numerous riddles to science. The Minoans built monumental palaces in a region threatened by earthquakes, developed various writing systems, decorated their rooms with magnificent murals, promoted arts and crafts, and dominated the Aegean Sea with their ships. The book presents the success story of this island people, their social structure, and their formative influence on the Mediterranean world, providing not only a very up-to-date academic textbook for students, but also an exciting read for discerning laymen and Crete lovers.
Auf der Insel Kreta entstand um 2000 v. Chr. die erste Hochkultur auf europaischem Boden, die immer noch bei dem modernen Betrachter Staunen hervorruft und die Wissenschaft vor zahlreiche Ratsel stellt. Die Minoer errichteten monumentale Palaste in einer von Erdbeben gefahrdeten Region, entwickelten verschiedene Schriftsysteme, schmuckten ihre Raume mit herrlichen Wandmalereien, forderten das Kunsthandwerk und dominierten mit ihren Schiffen das agaische Meer. Das Buch wird die Erfolgsgeschichte dieses Inselvolkes, seine Gesellschaftsstruktur und seinen pragenden Einfluss auf die Mittelmeerwelt darstellen und bietet nicht nur ein sehr aktuelles akademisches Lehrbuch fur Studierende, sondern auch eine spannende Lekture fur anspruchsvolle Laien und Kreta-Liebhaber.
