This news will be an important archaeological find. The Greek island of Crete is known to be the heartland of the Minoan civilization, which existed from around 2700 BC to around 1450 BC and was an important part of the early period of ancient Greek civilization. The Minoan civilization was known for its highly developed art, especially ceramic art and architecture, but also for its mystical legends such as the "Minotaur" and the "Minoan King of Crete".
This newly discovered ruins of an ancient city, about 4,000 years ago, or around 2,000 BC, are the site of the late Minoan civilization, or possibly the early Mycenaean civilization. Historical data from this period is relatively scarce, so new discoveries will provide us with valuable information to help us understand the state of civilization during this transitional period.
Such discoveries can give us a deeper understanding of the social structure, economic activities, cultural exchanges, and forms of political organization of ancient Greek civilization. For example, archaeologists' analysis of dwellings, public buildings, tombs, and everyday objects at the site can reveal how people lived at the time, social hierarchy, and religious beliefs. In addition, possible documents or hieroglyphs found at the site will help to unravel the mysteries of the linguistic and symbolic systems of Crete's ancient civilizations.
In a broader sense, this discovery is of great value not only for the study of ancient Greek civilization, but also for the study of the origins of Western civilization as a whole. Because the ancient Greek civilization was an important part of Western culture, its philosophical, artistic, political, and legal concepts had a profound impact on later generations. Understanding its origin and development plays an irreplaceable role in our knowledge and understanding of Western culture.
Finally, we will follow the research trends of historians in real time and find valuable information as soon as possible.
