The Minoans were the first advanced civilization in Europe. They appeared on Crete around 4,000 years ago and thrived for 1,500 years before mysteriously vanishing. It has never been fully explained what happened to them or who they were. Evidence shows they worshipped female powers but did so very differently to other civilizations. This book examines what this society might have been like.
This book is a complete description of the Minoan civilization and how it formed. It covers what type of government they had, who King Minos was, and how this society was so different from the rest.

The book also explains what happened to the Minoans, why they are important to us today, and why history must remember them.
