The Minoans achievements were creating the longest road and created and being good at bull leaping. After earthquakes kept hitting Crete and destroying their buildings and homes, they still kept rebuilding and didn't give up. Another thing the Minoans achieved was they were really good at building palaces. The Minoans developed the first large scale architecture in Europe, building palaces so good that they may have inspired the legend of the impenetrable Labyrinth. Nobody in Europe learned to make such large buildings before, and the Minoans did it by putting together a lot of materials. These achievements led to still doing these things to this day. ~Amethyst

When you think of the Minoans you may think of sports or trading, but did you know that the city of Minoa has way more history than you think. Say it is 5000 BCE and you just migrated with your tribe to a very big island that your tribe calls Minoa. Your tribe already has advanced ships and food and there has recently been a cooking tool found on Minoa called olive oil. Some years later your tribe has confirmed that there is more life on other land and your people have started trading your tribes goods for the other tribes goods, your people have called this agriculture. Some more years later your people have invented sports which are a form of exercise, if your are playing ,and entertainment, if you are watching. During this time something your tribe named earthquakes started shaking the ground and demolishing houses, also on an island called Santorini that was a good trading island got demolished by a volcano. Years later many islands that were destroyed were revived.
