Welcome toĀ Crete!
Ā
This modelĀ was created by MiniWorld3DĀ founder and lead 3D artist Dany SĆ”nchez.
(!) See the print details & instructions below.
Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on the island of Crete, in the Mediterranean, and has been called Europe's oldest city.Ā Settled as early as the Neolithic period, the name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The palace of Knossos eventually became the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. It was abandoned aroundĀ 1380ā1100 BC, but theĀ area was somewhat used throughout the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
The section of the palace depicted in this model, known as the North Portico, is a popular one, reconstructed to give an idea of what the palace looked like. However, the accuracy of this depiction is disputed, because the palace was rebuilt in many different styles as centuries went on, the original Minoan features now mostly gone. Some of the distinct features believed to be typical Minoan are the cypress columns, plastered and painted red, as well as a fresco showing a bull and olive trees. The Minoan civilization is known from theĀ mythĀ of the Labyrinth and Minotaur, as well as King Minos (from Wikipedia).Ā
MiniWorld3DĀ is happy to bring this model to lifeĀ as a homage to all people of Greece. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture and education!
