Document Summary

It is perhaps earthquakes brought them down around 1700, as it marks the new palace period: the npp lasted from 1700-1650 bc. It was found that palaces were rebuilt and redecorated. In 1450 minoan palaces were destroyed except for cnossos: there was a volcanic eruption that destroyed a lot of the palaces and homes (the destruction was blames on this). This language turn up on the island of crete on. Second, there were major destructions around 1450, and then it was occupied. Parts of it were then redecorated by mural paintings that are mycenaean in character and style: there are no palaces yet discovered on the west part of the island of crete. In the 1400"s, another type of grave came about, the tholos tomb. In a tholos tomb, you take a hillside and hollow it out, in it you can make a tomb that looks like a beehive.
