Crete

Crete was part of the network of islands that shared in the extended Aegean event. The Pelasgian culture that infused the Aegean Sea was present in various of the key points. It is no mystery that they are finding out that the Pelasgian culture is more extensive than they thought. The Ancient City of Knossos Was Three Times Bigger Than We Thought "Researchers from the Knossos Urban Landscape Project have made a sizable discovery: During the early Iron Age, the ancient city of Knossos was around three times larger than researchers had originally believed. Recent fieldwork uncovered a wealth of artifacts from the Iron Age in a previously unexplored part of Knossos, which is located on the Greek island of Crete, implying that the ancient city was both significantly larger and more involved in international trade than experts imagined. Once home to majestic palaces, famed philosophers like Epimenides and Aenesidemus, and—according to Greek mythology—the minotaur, a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, the ruins at Knossos have long been recognized as a particularly rich archaeological site. But the latest discoveries imply that during the Iron Age, the city was a very important cosmopolitan hub. After recovering from a major socio-political collapse around 1200 BCE, researchers now believe Knossos developed into a densely populated, wealthy city, importing goods in unprecedented quantities—not only from the Greek mainland, but from Italy, Egypt, the Near East, and the western Mediterranean." http://mentalfloss.com/article/73376/ancient-city-knossos-was-three-times-bigger-we-thought #AegeanEvent #Cre
