It had large palace buildings, extensive workshop installations and luxurious rock-cut cave and tholos tombs. As a major centre of trade and the economy, Knossos maintained ties with the majority of cities in the Eastern Mediterranean. </p> <p>Wealth accumulation and the advancement of an urban lifestyle were the hallmarks of this zenith, which began circa 2000 BC and was typified by magnificent monumental buildings and a complex social structure. </p> http://www.heraklion.gr/en/city/knossos/knosos.html http://www.heraklion.gr/en/city/knossos/knosos.html Thu, 14 Dec 2006 16:32:48 +0200 http://www.heraklion.gr/en/municipality/mayors/246.html http://www.heraklion.gr/en/municipality/mayors/246.html Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:45:43 +0300
