Ancient Crete & Minoan Religion

Human habitation on Crete can be traced back to some time during the 7th millennium BCE. No one knows where exactly these settlers came from (Anatolia is often cited as likely), but their descendants would be responsible for one of the most magnificent and influential civilizations in the Aegean region. Eventually labeled Minoan, their culture, religion, and artistic style would spread far and wide, having a significant impact on what would later become the Greek civilization most people are familiar with.
