History: The Minoan civilization had a rapid decline following the eruption of a volcanic island close to Crete where they had settled. The eruption was so large its effects were felt all the way in China.

Me: Oh yeah. The Mediterranean had a lot of problems with volcanoes every few thousand years or so. So why was this one special?

What the island looks like today:

Me………….. oh

Ye.

They had several extremely advanced items for the time period (3000 BC to c. 1100 BC) which other civilizations had not developed yet for thousands of years (such as a working plumbing system). They had a writing system we have no idea how to read as no writing system evolved from it and it’s not related to any of the other writing systems we do understand (ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian etc etc)

They had a extremely peaceful nation from what we can gather, as none of their art showed soldiers or military until near the end of their civilization, and instead showed scenes of agriculture, games, every day life and things along those lines instead.

“tiddies out” civilization as I like to call it due to the common dress of the women as shown in almost all art.

(men are drawn with darker skin than women)

I heard somewhere that they were possibly a Matriarchal society but I need to do research on that as I’m not entirely comfortable with declaring that as possibly true just because I heard 1 person talk about it. I want to see some sources first.

But yeah. Many people believe the Minoans were the basis for the Atlantis story.

Plato wrote the story of Atlantis in 360 BC and based his Dialogues are supposedly quoting Solon who went to Egyp between 580BC and 590BC and Solon said he got the information about Atlantis from the Egyptian Records.

The Minoan Civilization, like I said, was between 3000 BC to c. 1100 BC. So by the time Plato wrote his dialogue on Atlantis, which is our only Primary source, the Minoan civilization was something that had died more than a thousand years ago. Meaning this was ancient history to the people of ancient history.

this post was so educational then the youtube anime art slapped my ass and called me gucci

They also worshipped bulls, hence the entire story of the Minotaur (Minoan Bull).

They engaged in bull leaping/bull jumping/bull dancing, where gymnasts would leap over live bulls. The bulls were not harmed, but undoubtedly some of the dancers were hurt or even killed.

Forms of bull leaping are practiced today in southwestern France, some parts of Spain, and Tamil Nadu. Likely the forms in France and Spain descend from the Minoan sport.

But these people were obsessed with bulls.

Winner of the Best-Dressed Santa Award, hands down!

Not quite. This is Yakutian Chys Khan, Ded Moroz’s northern “brother”. Russian Federation is a melting pot of different cultures, it’s not just slavs, don’t forget that.

This is Ded Moroz (a.k.a. Father Frost)

And here they are together

wow, don’t forget Snegurochka, his daughter, the snow maiden, who always accompanies him. She has a beautifuk kokoshnik crown that is essentially a big snowflake

or, more contemporarily, a cute toque
