The Minoan civilization

The Minoans lived near an island of Crete. It was in Greece about 2,000 years before christ came. They were sometimes called the Cretans and they had the greatest castle that was large enough to cover 6 acres. IT also had running water for the toilets and bathtubs They were named after one of their kings, King Minos. Some say that he built a minotaur that was half man and half bull. As for their activity the Minoans enjoyed the game bull leaping. They were unknown until the 1900s.  Nobody knew how or what made them vanish and not seen today. But that mystery seemed to end at the sunken city of Atlantis.  Do you know the mystery of Atlantis. Well a Greek philosopher named Plato said that the city of Atlantis sank because the people there were so wicked and cruel and he wrote the whole story about it. People searched and searched for it to prove Plato's story. But the city has never been found.
