One of the realms of Minoan civilisation. The Minoans, named by the archaeologist Arthur Evans after the legendary King Minos, created Europe's first advanced civilisation on the island of Crete. From about 1900 BCE they built large palace complexes at Knossos, Phaistos, Malia and Zakros, which acted as centres for religion, storage and craft production.
