-Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization. Make sure you mention specific details.
1) After 2000 BC, the island was
divided into small states.
2) The 135 hieroglyphic signs of
the first Cretan writing
system were reduced to
ninety and were writen in a
script called Linear.
3) Around 1600 BC, the palaceat
Knossos became the most
splendid that Crete ever
knew. It was four stories
high, built on a sloping
hill, and was arranged so
that the main entrances and
the great courtyard were on
the third level.
4) At the 16th century, Crete
reached its greatest height.
5) The palace was rebuilt after a
severe earthquake in 1600 BC
and was forever known as the
Labyrinth.
-Devan Jones
1. Even in the mountains of central Crete, where there were Neolithic tribes, clan organization ended. Urban life became more and more accepted.
2. The Cretan writing system originally had 135 hieroglyphic signs, but was later cut to 90. It also was written in a script called Linear A.
3. Knossos was the greatest of the Cretan cities, partly because of the palace there, an “architectural wonder.”
4. The most important and sacred symbol in Cretan religion was the labrys, or the double axe. It was probably a sign of life and of authority.
5. A severe earthquake in 1600 B.C. almost destroyed the great palace at Knossos. However, it was rebuilt “in its final magnificence,” as the article says.
-Matt Hinkel
1. One of the most important things mentioned about the Cretan Civilization is that the chief port was Mochlos, whose peninsula was connected with Crete lasted a long time with Crete before an earthquake turned it into a separate island.
2. Another important detail is that around 2000 B.C. unknown conditions in Crete caused the power of petty kings or local princes to rise, causing the island to divide into small city states. Royal palaces were then erected at Knossos and Mallia, shifting the center of activity form the eastern side of the island.
3. Around the 16th century, Crete reached its greatest height. Knossos was the leader of all the Cretan cities,and its no surprise why. It was an architectural wonder,with 4 stories high, eight hundred small rooms, filled with courtyards, and so many more things that we didn't even think existed back then.
4. Another important detail about this civilization is that after a severe earthquake in 1600BC, the royal palace of Knossos was rebuilt in its final significance. This remodeled palace was known as the Labyrinth. Since the most sacred symbol in Cretan religion was the labrys (double axe), it was placed in so many places that this whole structure was called Labyrinthos.
5. One of the most spectacular things in the Cretan civilization was their art. They were not limited to pottery and fresco paintings, and they showed this by appealing gold and ivory in their arts. They inlaid bronze with gold, ivory, and precious stones and now it can be understood how the Mycenaeans later on adopted this art.
~Fabiola Enriquez
1. The Palace at Knossos reflected the brilliant culture that existed on Crete.
2. The island was governed by a priest/king, ruling from the palace.
3. The Cretean arts did more than just pottery and fresco paintings, they also made gold and ivory carvings which they excelled at.
4. After a horrible earthquake in 1600 BC they rebuilt the Palace at Knossos.
5. There were ceremonial swords, some over five feet long, that were too magnificent and big for war. It was a symbol of royal authority.
-Mitch Spaulding and Haley Young
\\]COMMENTING ON DEVAN JONES:
On your answer for the first question, you could've been more descriptive and said why it was divided after 2000 B.C.
COMMENTING ON FABIOLA ENRIQUEZ:
All your answers were well developed and you can tell that you put a lot of effort into answer the questions. Great job!!
-Haley Young and Mitch Spaulding
Five important details
Several times the cretans cities got destroyed by earthquakes but did they give up no at the time in suffering they rebuilt the cities and they did this many many times.
The island of crete was beautiful and was to be thought that a priest-king ruler governd the island at the palace of knoss with both being a ruler and a religious shrine.
The small daggers and swords used for combat didn’t sell very well in the rhodes and Greece because they were a peaceful city they didn’t have many wars which is why the daggers turned out in those places.
Mycenae was the most important town beause I stedilly rose the wealth and power of the Aegean world.
The cretan –mycenaean civilization ended as the bronze age was starting to begin.
BY:EMILY BENNETT
1. They had toilets and bathrooms with running water.
2.The island was governed by a priest-king who ruled from the palace.
3.The 135 hieroglyphic signs of the first Cretan writing system were reduced to 90 and were written in a script called Linear A and it hasn't been translated yet.
4.The most sacred symbol in Cretan religion was the labrys which was a double axe.
5.From about 1350 to almost 1200 B.C. the Mycenaen Achaens were leaders of the Aegean world.
1. Crete traded with Asia and Egypt over the sea. The main port was Mochlos, which was connected with Crete until an earthquake seperated it. They introduced pottery, the use of copper and gold, and agricultural skills. to the Neolithic men. By 2000 BC, however, oversea disorder caused the eastern ports of Crete to cease being the leading centers of Cretan civilization.
2. Speaking of earthquakes, those happened a lot to Crete. Cities were destroyed time and again. But the Cretans kept rebuilding and eventually (around 1600 BC) the palace at Knossos was the most splendid ever known to Cretes, and architectural wonder.
3. Crete reached its greatest height in the sixteenth century. Knossos was the leader of Cretan cities. A preist-king called Minos either ruled all of Crete or only over Knossos, nobody knows for sure.
4. The Labrynth name came from the labrys, a double sided axe. It was a very sacred symbol and can be seen used through the whole palace- necklaces, tall statues, even some graves.
5. Pottery, copper, and gold were not the only art forms the Cretans were good at. They made gold and ivory carvings, with inlaid precious stones. Fancy seals were used as signatures, sometimes made out of the same sort of stuff as was in the art itself.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What was written above was wriiten by April Cassita. Sorry I forgot my name.
1. The 135 hieroglyphic sighs of the first creatan writing system was changed to 90 signs and included in a script called Linear A.
2. Even though the Cretan cities were destroyed by earthquakes several times, the Cretans refused to leave and just kept rebuilding their cities.
3. Women could be involved in social activities (just like men could).
4. The most sacred symbol was the labrys (double axe). They even placed it in the hands of the mother goddess and her son. Believed to be a sign of life and authority.
5. How or when Knossos fell is unknown. Historians debate of either a severe earthquake or an invasion.
-Alison Robinson
haley & mitch- good answers, but they seemed rather short.
fabiola- wow, well done! it might be just me, but it seems kinda wordy.
devon- those are important things but you dont really have any details about them
This blog will be done in class: Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization. Make sure you mention specific details. Article was given Tuesday in class. Is due Thursday, during your class period.
I thought it was interesting how after 2000 B.C when the Cretans turned over to Linear A, instead of their tradtional hieroglyphs, that they went from having 135 signs to just 90 with Linear A.
About 1500 B.C was when the city of Mycenae became a rival with the city of Knossos, what was a good relationship between the 2 cities came to a bitter end. Crete developed their first standing army, for this they hired Afracian mercenaries.
The most holy symbol in the Cretan religion was the labrys. The labrys was a double axe that was placed in the hands of one of their, if not their most important, goddess, the Mother Goddess. It was also placed in the hands of her son and between the horns of the sacred bull.
The Cretans actually started constructing buildings called Labyrinthos which was where the chief priestess and the priest-king lived.
The Cretans were amazing artists and were well known for their work with pottery, but this is not all, they were skilled with working with bronze and gold. There have been splendid swords and daggers with beautiful carvings engraved. Some of these swords had jewels embedded into the handles, some swords could be over five feet long, much to long to actually use, they were for the court nobles.

To: Fabiola Enriquez
Great answer, I should have put the part about the Mycenaeans into my answer.
5. One of the most spectacular things in the Cretan civilization was their art. They were not limited to pottery and fresco paintings, and they showed this by appealing gold and ivory in their arts. They inlaid bronze with gold, ivory, and precious stones and now it can be understood how the Mycenaeans later on adopted this art.
--Andrea Stewart
To Caitlyn
your details were very understandable. it seems that you really knew what you were talking about.
To Fabiola
all your details had great explinations.you really understood everything fully.
-Alison Robinson
This blog will be done in class: Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization. Make sure you mention specific details.
1- The Article says that the greatest increase in population and number of towns occured in Eastern Crete, where trade with Egypt and Asia were very important to the economy. Their main town/port was the town of Mochlos. Sailors also traveled to Sicily and other places in Southern Italy. But after the Hyksos took over Egypt, the trade between Crete and Egypt ended.
2-Another detail about Crete was the Palace of Knossos. Knossos was the most beautiful palace Crete had ever seen. Knossos was the home of the Priest-king, who ruled Island of Crete.The palace stood 4 stories high, was built on a sloping hill and arranged with teh main entrances and the courtyard were on the third story. With about 800 individual rooms, this palace became a city, but all in one building. The palace was made out of white gypsum and polished limestone, and decorated with realistic scenes of wildlife paintings.
3- Knossos had no equal in power until around 1500 BC, when the city of Mycenae wealth and trade became the equal of Knossos. This caused the good relations between the two citys to end. Soon Knossos and Mycenae became rivals, which was fueled by a number of incidents, including Mycenae establishing colonies near older Cretan settlements to compete with them.
4- Another detail is the amount of influence Crete had on the Greek mainland. Towns like Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Athens and Delphi all adopted Cretan customs and innovations, including light wells, frescos and even the clothing of the Cretans.
5- Greece did not adopt everything from Crete. The Myceneans were warriors, they fortified their citys, established cities on the tops of hills, had weapons for fighting, and paintings of battles for decorations, which was not at all like the Cretans, who were a very peaceful civilization.

1. According to the article: During the 1600’s BC the trading between Crete and Egypt and the Near East ceased because of the “activities” between the Hittites and the Hyksos. All Cretan traders went north and became influential at Mycenae, Tiryns, and Pylos on the Greek's mainland.
2. In the 16th century BC, Crete reached their greatest height. Knossos was the main city that was leading. The legend of the priest king. King Minos lies in this city. It is believed that this was where his reign took place.
3. After a severe earthquake in 1600 BC, The royal palace, which was in Knossos, was rebuilt and it was the most beautiful at this time. It was then renamed the Labyrinth. Their most sacred symbol was the labrys which was like the double axe. It lay in the hands of the mother goddess and in the hands of her son and between bull horns. It was a sign of life and of authority.
4. The Cretan people had huge effects on lots of people. Like the Greek’s, for instance, The Greeks at Mycenae they built light wells and wall frescoes in Cretan honor. Men and women even adopted the hair styles and style of dress. Cretan signet were used to sign official tablets. They adopted many many many cultural aspects from the Cretans.
5. Troy was originally located in a corner of northwestern Anatolia. It was called the Troad. They had lots of trade route going east, west, north, south and every other. There were lots of Troy cities built. Their trade actually extended asa far as the river valley of the Danube river.
I tried to name mine but somebody's got in the way so Im going to copy and paste it here.
1. They had toilets and bathrooms with running water.
2.The island was governed by a priest-king who ruled from the palace.
3.The 135 hieroglyphic signs of the first Cretan writing system were reduced to 90 and were written in a script called Linear A and it hasn't been translated yet.
4.The most sacred symbol in Cretan religion was the labrys which was a double axe.
5.From about 1350 to almost 1200 B.C. the Mycenaen Achaens were leaders of the Aegean world.

To Devan-
good answers they were very good details about the island in general
To Alison-
Yea for you you recognized the women in one of your answers..!!
To Whitney
You obvioulsy had some well thought out answers or you got if from the paper but anyway good job
Ya gurl Aycee
AkA
April Cassita
To Zac Abid you definetly had a common known fact for number 3 but I appreciate you actually even bringing that up because it shows how important it is to know about the palace at Crete
Whitney Burney
1.Crete reached its greatest height during the sixteenth century B.C.
2.The palace at Knossos was known as the Labyrinth which comes from the word Labyrinthos meaning House of Labrys. It got this name because in Cretan religion, the labrys(double ax) is a sacred symbol and it was found in many places.
3.The Achaeans were the leaders of the Aegean world from 1350 to 1200 B.C.
4.Crete developed its first standing army in about 1470 B.C.
5.Between 1300 and 1290 B.C. Troy VI fell to the Achaeans in the first Trojan War. This war may have contributed to the story of the Iliad which was written by Homer.

Around 2000 B.C., issues overseas caused the eastern ports of Crete to lose much of their trade, and the economic decline forced them to also lose their political importance to central Crete .
Urban life started becoming an accepted pattern, so tribes in the mountains of central Crete lost their way of life. Personally, I think that that is somewhat of what happened to the Native Americans in our country. They had the whole United States , then we came over, but they still had land, then they had reserves. Now days we still have the reserves and things, but ordinary life is just like it is outside of those areas. It seems that urban culture has become more traditional and accepted then it used to be, and because of that I think that the Native Americans lost their heritage. That is not really a group of people’s fault, but it just happened, you know?
After the economic shift, power soon was given to local princes or petty kings. It is still not known how they came to power. The island of Crete was then divided into small states. Royal Palaces were soon built, and they indicated as well that economics did shift away from the eastern side of the island.
Royal power began to grow, and the island had a peaceful period, and a population increase. During that time, the 135 hieroglyphic letters were reduced to ninety and a new alphabet was formed, called Linear A, it is still untranslated.
In 1600 B.C., after a major earthquake, the palace was rebuilt and nicknamed the labyrinth. Greek legend tells us that a labyrinth was built in the basement to imprison a Minotaur, half-man, half-bull.

I really liked all of your answers. Every one of them was well developed and descriptive

Sorry, but in my answers the numbers didn't copy, so ya, but I promise there is 5 things!

commenting on Zac Abid:
I thought you had good answers, but I was wondering why you didn't mention the economic shift to center-Crete? You named one town tht was the economic center, but there was a couple other ones and you didn't say were it was located.
commenting on Devan Jones:
I thought that your answers just seemed like you simply took a sentence that sounded like a fact and copyed it as your answer. I think that you should try to add your own popion, something the reading didn't say, you know add your own spice! But, otherewise, good job!

Royal power and the population increased during the “peaceful period”. They had 135 hieroglyphics but it was reduced to 95 and they called their writing linear A although it is still untranslated.
Crete was destroyed by earthquakes but every time it was destroyed they rebuilt it again. Around 1600 b.c the palace of Knossos was the best it ever had been. It was 4 stories high, built on a hill, running water the walls were painted with animals and plants (and some flying animals and plants
The most sacred religious symbol was called the labrys which means double axe.
It was placed in the mother goddesses hands and in her sons hands and between them was bull horns. Their have been a lot of labryss found in sacred caves and temples.
4. Createn art was more than just pottery anf fresco paintings they used gold, ivory for carvings. They put jewels like amethyst, jasper and rock crystal to make it look like a necklace on the neck of the carving.
5. troy rose and fell 10 times but on the 6th troy (1300BC) they had a good relationship with central greece and with the hitittes but the mycenae overthrew which caused both or one of the trojan war/s.

Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization. Make sure you mention specific details.
1.cheif port was Mochlos(page 1)
2.135 signs in first Cretian alphabet(page 1)
3. all size labrys were made(double axes)(page 2)
4.children called lined pavment "troy-town"(page 2)
5.concoured around 1350 B.C.(page 3)-Zarah
1) Due to the rise of power of local princes/kings of small importance, Crete was divided into 3 states.
2)The Cretan way of writing (Also known as Linear A, untranslated) was shortened from 135 signs to 90 signs.
3)In 1600 BC, Crete reached its biggest peak, Knossos became home to a magnificently built palace and the leading Cretan City.
4)In 1350 BC, Mycenae had became the leader of the Aegean world, after a rise to riches and power.
5)1400 BC is the possible time of the ultimate decline of Knossos, caused by an earthquake and tidal wave, however the actual date is debated as well as the cause. Basically, we know that Knossos fell, we just don't know how and when.
~De'Andreah Hollowell
Five impartant things that I found about this civilization is that
1-The civilizations hieroglifics, called Linear A, is the first sign of writing. It still remains untranslated.
2-The cities of Creatan were destoryed by earthquakes, but they still kept building the cities over and over again.
3-The palace at Knossos was four stories high and they had more than 800 small rooms and coridors.
4-The king was surrounded by weathy nobles. They played flutes, lyres and a form of the bagpipes.
5-In 1350 BC, knossos wasen't king anymore. No one knows haw he fell from power, but some histionians say that he fell to invasion.

1. Royal power grew around 2000 BC and there was an increase in population partly due to it being a peaceful, prosperous period.
2. There were palaces erected in Knosses, including the "great palace". It was 4 stories high, but built on a hill so that the 3rd story had entrances. It had about 800 small rooms with running water and frescos.
3. There was a priest-kind rule from the palace and it was not only a place for politics and for the royal people to live, it was also a religious shrine.
4. The Greeks imitated a lot of Cretan arts, religion, crafts, and costumes. They had a lot of ports named Minos and they built palaces with light wells and frescos. The women even dressed the same and the kids even played the same games.
5. Mycenae challenged Knossos and then the two civilizations weren't such buddies anymore...in 1500 BC. In 1450 BC Knossos was at a strong point, but by 1350 BC it was gone.
Commenting on Devan Jones
I liked how you commented on how the island of Crete was divided into small states, one I wasn't thinking of, but I think you should have talk a little bit more on why Crete had reached its greatest height for number 4.

1.due to much disorder from overseas the eastern ports lost much of their political importance to the new urban centers; knossos and mallia to the north and phaistos to the south.page 1
2.In 2000 B.C. the rise of power from local princes or petty kings caused it to be divided into many small states.page 1
3. the original 135 heiroglyphic signs of the first cretan writing system were reduced to ninety and were written in a script now called linear A which still hasn't been translated.page 1

commenting on donna davidson:
I thought that your answers were pretty well explained, except for the one where you said"They had 135 hieroglyphics but it was reduced to 95 and they called their writing linear A", ithought it was only 90 signs that it was reduced to.

Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization. Make sure you mention specific details.
1. Crete traded with Asia and Egypt. The main port was Mochlos. Mochlos' penninsula connected with Crete until an earthquake turned it into a sperate island. Crete introduced pottery, the use of copper and gold, and agricultural skills to Neolithic tribesmen. However, by 2000 BC, disorder overseas saw eastern Crete losing much of its trade.
2.Crete cities were also frequently destroyed by earthquakes. But no matter what happened, the Cretens would always rebuild their cities until, around 1600 BC, the palace at Knossos was the best that it had ever been. It had running water, eight hundred small rooms, corridors, stairways, and air shafts, and the walls were covered in colorful frescos.
3. The most sacred symbol in the Creten religion was the labrys (double-axe). It was everywhere, from the hands of the Mother Goddess to in between the horns of a sacred bull. It was probably used as a sign of life and authority. They had them in all sizes. Some were small enough to wear on a necklace and others were up to twenty feet high. There was even a grave pit at Knossos that was dug in the shape of a labrys so that the dead were buried within the sacred sign.
4.Cretens were extremely good at art. Aside from their pottery and fresco paintings, they also had gold and ivory carvings. They would inlay bronze with gold, ivory and precious jewels, and had tiny seals in place of signatures that were carved into gold, bronze, or other semi-precious jewels and stones like amethyst, jasper, and rock crystal.
5. They were also very fond of weaponery. Large swords had either intricately carved handels or had their handels inlaid with jewels. There were also ceremonial swords, which were too big to use in wars or fights. Smaller swords used for actual combat were found in palace workshops of Crete and also in mainland Greece and islands such as Rhodes.

Those are some okay answers, but maybe you could have gone into more detail about what happened, for example, how did the Palace at Knossos reflect the brilliant culture that existed on Crete. Another example is how did they rebuild the Palace at Knossos after a horrible earthquake in 1600 BC?

1. after 2000bc conditions in Crete as yet unknown split the island into small states
2. during the 1600'bc the commercial ties of Crete to Egypt and the Near East ceased because of the activities of the Hyksos and the Hittites
3. earthquakes constantly tore down the buildings of the Creteans but they refused to let their buildings fall so around 1600bc the palace at Knossos was the most splendid the Creteans had ever seen
4. it is disputed whether King Minos ruled all of Crete or just Knossos
5. after the final rebuilding of the palace at Knossos it was known as the Labyrinth
JAMES VEENSTRA
Five Important Details-
1. Women were free to take part in social like men. (I just had to mention this. Women Power!)
2.The Cretan writing system started with 135 hieroglyphics signs which were reduced to 90 (into what is called Linear A). It has not yet been translated.
3.The Labyrs (double-axe) was a very important and sacred symbol to the Cretan. Found everywhere! It was in the hands of the Mother Goddess, hands of her son and between the horns of sacred bull.
4. It was around 1470 B.C that Crete's first army came to be.
5.We don't know much much about how Crete fell. When or how? No clue. Might've been an earthquake around 1400 B.C or invaders.
But by 1350 B.C, Knossos was gone!
To Maddie-
Great detail.
To Alison-
Love the woman one. Definitely very important. I mean history is herstory, too. (Cool quote, huh?)
To Hannah,
I liked how you worded your 5th point.
-Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization. Make suyre you mention specific details.
1.) The island of Crete was divided into small states.
2.) The Cretan cities were destroyed by violent earthquakes but were always rebuilt with vigor, including the palace at Knossos.
3.) Women were as free to participate in social life as the men were.
4.) Arts included: pottery, frescoes, gold and ivory carvings, inlaid bronze with gold, ivory, and precious stones.
5.) Mycenae was the leader of the Aegean world and Mycenae, along with Tiryns, adopted many of the cultural aspects of Crete and Knossos.

Your answer for number one was pretty vague. You need to explain your answers more. As Mrs. Velez said, you need to have more substance.

Wow! Not only do you write more than just about anybody, but you explain your answers so well! Your answers really kept me interested.

Write five important details the article mentions about this civilization.
1. After 2000 B.C. the power of local princes or unimportant kings rose and the island of Crete was divided into small states. Royal palaces grew and Royal palaces were built in Knossos, Mallia and Phaistos.
2. The 135 hieroglyphic signs of the first Cretan writing system were reduced to ninety, this new form of writing was called Linear A.
3. Palace of Knossos was built and had running water, about 800 small rooms and beautiful frescoes.
4. Island was governed by a priest-king that rulled from the palace of Knossos.
5. Cretan art consisted of pottery making, fresco painting, gold and ivory carvings, amazing swords and daggers and ceremonial swords. They engraved little seals into their art in the place of signatures.
-Mallory Caillaud-Jones
does anybody know when the blog questions for the fist book of the Iliad will be posted?
To Whitney Burney I like who you used details that really supported the facts you found and even though the were long answers they were answers that supported the fact completely.
To Zac your answer were really informative if i had just came onto the blog not knowing what the topic was by reading your answers it gave a very clear understand on the concept and your analysis.
-Justice Mason
P.S If Mrs Velez reads this i don't see my posting anywhere they should be in your email like you told us to email them to you didn't you?
5 Things: Crete Civilization
-Its main port was Mochlos until an earthquake made it a separate island from crete.
-There were 135 hieroglyphic symbols but they reduces it to about 90 when the form to “linear A” but the language of linear A is still untranslatable.
-The great palace at knossos stood 4 stories high and had about 800 little rooms. The entrance to the palace is on the third floor because the building is on a sloped hill. It also had running water.
-Women were just as important in society as men were.
-The 16th century was the height of crete civilization.

1. Every time their cities and buildings were demolished, the unflappable Cretans rebuilt. They got so good at rebuilding, the palace at Knossos was the best ever in Crete by 1600 bc thanks to an earthquake.
2. The double axe was very, very sacred and known as the labrys, sometimes built 20 ft. tall. I kinda wonder if they were used for a few sacred death traps as well.
3. The island was governed by a priest king, like old kingdom Egypt, and surrounded by wealthy landowner’s in a court livened up by musicians.
4. There was no gigantic maze with a bull creature inside it. It was the Athenians overdramatization that made the labyrinth out of store rooms below.
5. The warriors of Mycenea were bearded, so to them, the clean shaven priests, semmed both weird and probably wimpy, if the Myceneans associated their beards with their fighting prowess.

I think the 5 most important details about the Cretan Civilization are,
1. One of the Mioan's most sacred symbols was that of the double headed axe, also known as the labrys.
2. There most important diety was a mother goddess. This probably helped women to get political rights.
3. The Minoan colture greatly influenced mainland Greece.
4. For the time that they were in power the Mycenaean civilization basicaly ruled the Aegean world.
5. The Mycenaean Civilization was completely focused on warfare. Laura Johnson

~Fabiola Enriquez
COMMENTING ON MATT HINKEL:
Good job on answering your questions thoroughly and briefly. I also liked how you mentioned that the labrys was an important symbol in Cretan religion and also how around 1600B.C. the great palace at Knossos was "rebuilt in its final significance." (These two things were also mentioned in my answer). Keep up the good work!

1. Something that was very important for the civiliztion for crete is the person that keeps it running, the chief port which was mochos whose peninsula connection with crete lasted some time longer before an earth quake and turned it into a seperate island.
2.By 2000 b.c. problems over seas caused the eastern ports of crete to lose much of their trade, and with their economic decline they ceased to be the leading centers of crete civilization.
3. Around 1600 b.c the palace of at knossos became the most splendid building that crete ever knew. it stood four stories high and was built on a slopping hill and was arranged so that the main entances plus the court yard were on the third level. This palace also had toilets in the bathroom with running water! after an earth quake it was rebuilt and known as the labyrinth.
4. a great legend for the athenians was the story of a labyrinth or maze in which a half-man half-bull known as the minotour was ready to devour young greeks. the hero is minos (was the king but is it is the belief that that there were multiples of minos) wore a bull mask and slayed the beast.
5. many people the cretans were limited to pottery and fresco panting but they inlaid bronze with gold,ivory, and precious stones. they were very crafty people and made beautiful things.

i dont see how mochlos their main important is that much of an important fact.

Commenting on Fabiola Enriquez
Your answers were well developed and had many details. I liked how you explained that the earthquakes created many situations that either helped or wounded the civilization of Crete.
Commenting on Devin Jones
Your answers could have used a bit more detail, but number 3 was nicely done.
-Mallory Caillaud-Jones
Whitney, Your answers would have been better if you had gone into more detail and explained them.
Jake, for your first fact, you didn't explain why the country divided.
Nate Mulder
To Fabiola:
You did a really good job explaining your details, and went really in depth.
To Donna:
When you were talking about linear A writing you said they made it into only 95 but it was supposed to be 90. Its not that big of a deal but thats what I read.
May Hogan
5 important details about Crete:
- Their plumbing was very high-tech, especially around this age. They had flushing toliets with running water.
-The civilization developed Linear A, which was a form of hieroglyphic writing. It is believed to be a syllabic form of writing, not like our letter by letter writing today. Linear A is yet to be translated.
-The Cretans would mimic a lot of other civilizations around their era from the way theydo their hair, to how they constructed their buildings. I think this actually improved their civilization, because they'd take the best ideas from other civilizations, and make them their own.
-Knossos, the center of Minoan civilization, was supposedly created for King Minos and also home of the Minotaur. Knossos was designed to take in natural lighting and they also had forms of ventilation and heating. No one ones how Knossos fell.
-Crete was ruled by many different small rulers under one large ruler. The island was divided into different city-states and for each city-state their was a ruler.

Five important details about Crete civilization are:
1. That the 135 hieroglyphic signs of the first Cretan writing system were reduced to 90 and were written in a script called Linear A.
2. In 2000 B.C. Crete was divided into small states including mallia in the north and phaistos in the south.
3. In the sixteenth century B.C. Crete was at its greatest height with good economy and powerful armed forces.
4. The Mycenaean civilization steadily declined because of the constant warfare with their neighbors.
5. There was a severe earthquake in 1600 B.C. that destroyed the royal palace at Knossos. It was rebuilt and it was now known as the Labyrinth to the Crete civilization.
6. The most sacred symbol in Cretan religion was the labrys, which was the sign of life.
