The indo-europeans are the ones who taught the sky. He used to be thought that that was the case, but the collapse of the minoans happened much later. It happened at around 1500, at around the bronze age. The palaces were burned and abondoned, except for the complex. After the destruction, evidences of greek speaking mainlainders appear on the island of crete. The obvious conclusion is that they invaded it. The coming of the greeks (indo-europeans) was a turning point of the history of helladis (we saw many cultural changes). It was also a period of agression (destruction). Period of high culture in the mainland.
