Mysterious End The Minoan Civilization Ended in 1200 B.C. but how? Was it cause of a natural disaster such as an earthquake, Or a volcanic eruption, or Did their island just simply become over populated, were their even invaders that came to their island and wiped them all out we still do not know to this day. But what we do know is that the minoans withstood a series of disasters. like in 1700 B.C. a earthquake came and took out most the minoan cities, after that earthquake the minoans started rebuilding their city. Then in 1470 B.C., following an earthquake, came a violent volcanic eruption upon a Neighboring island called Thera. An following that, a huge tidal wave came upon these small islands, and this time the minoans could not fully recover from this tragic blow. The minoan population lingered for 300 years. They're long run came to an end when Greece came and invaded their island after that tragic blow. After Greece invaded, Cretes influence as a major sea power and cultural force was over.
