Document Summary
Assignment: concentrate on need to ask questions and observations. 3500, 3000 bc we found first evidence of figurines made of marble, indigenous to these islands first evidence of civilization. Not an anatomically correct figurine, probably a goddess of some sort. One of the objects is playing a harp, shows there must have been technology and the creation of music. This culture suggests to us that in those islands we have some kind of civilized activity. Sir arthur evans found buildings that showed a high level of civilizations. This culture gave us evidence of buildings. There is a smaller palace on phaistos made without concrete made with chiseled stone. Knossos palace has pillars and sir arthur evans thought he would rebuild. Knossos to show us its past glory, it is difficult to know where the minoan culture starts and where evans does his part, he painted the pillars. Minoans had many ships, they may have transported these jars short distances.
