- The magnificent Minoan palace of Knossos , the center of the Minoan civilisation.
Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and is considered Europe's oldest city. The palace of Knossos was undoubtedly the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. It appears as a maze of workrooms, living spaces, and storerooms close to a central square. An approximate graphic view of some aspects of Cretan life in the Bronze Age is provided by restorations of the palace's indoor and outdoor murals, as it is also by the decorative motifs of the pottery and the insignia on the seals and sealings.
In the first palace period around 2000 BC the urban area reached a size of up to 18,000 people. In its peak the Palace and the surrounding city boasted a population of 100,000 people shortly after 1700 BC
ancient people had better aesthetic sense than nowadays
Respect for history. People should not forget the roads that led them to this day. By analogy, those times were more innovative. Great video.
So amazing. I’m watching this one day after visiting the Knossos site and museum. Wonderful. Many thanks.
A true masterpiece. Great intricate work.
great to watch while stoned 10/10
If only I had a time travel machine, I’d visit Knossos at its apogee!

Awesome work. Love these recreations.
Quite a modern design, the minoans were ahead of the game, or time travellers.
I visited the palace in 03, they had most of it closed off for renovation cause of the Olympics. Crete is my favorite place I've been
awesome!
I am digging the runway strut all the citizens do
It was great. Did anyone 2 people crash into each other at 3:17
That was very good. Thank you very much!
It's amazing, thank you!
at 1.75 speed this song is absolute banger
Always interesting to see a 3D model of Knossos!
Did they really use the peristele in this manner? Because in artifacts it's more common to see single or double pillars, in the middle of beams. Evans even thought that the positioning of the columns had a religious dimension.
Magnifique !
Great reconstruction, very interesting to see. I was wondering though, at the beginning of the clip there's a shot of a bridge or walkway to the palace that has arches. I thought that the arch was a later architectural innovation of the Etruscans that was popularized by the Romans.
Were there arches in Bronze Age buildings? I've seen another illustration of the palace that shows the bridge/walkway with the arches so this video isn't the first to depict this feature. Is what I'm looking at even an arch in the traditional Roman sense or is it something else entirely?
I dont know, but, there is actually a bridge from the Bronze age that is still being used in Peloponisos. Its a Mycenae bridge which almost resembles an arch. Look it up.
Way to rich for my blood but WOW just magnificent the way it was built ✌❤
