Monday October 1st ... Minoans

We discussed the Minoans, Myceneans, and Cycladic peoples.

The Minoans were the first to use a magnifying glass, employ a script, and use exact sciences. Minoan number systems were based on the decimal system and the NUMERALS were the exact same as the Egyptians. They knew geometry and employed it along with plumbing and advanced sewage technology in the construction of their palaces.
