Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Long before the rise of Athens, a brilliant civilization flourished on the island of Crete, hidden from history for thousands of years. This account follows the modern explorers who uncovered the sprawling Palace of Minos, a labyrinth of stone that once housed the legendary Sea-Kings. Readers observe the vibrant frescoes of bull-leapers, the advanced plumbing of ancient royal villas, and the daily lives of a people who ruled the Mediterranean through trade and naval power.
