TRAVEL THE WORLD - KNOSSOS, CRETE


This fresco, photographed in 2004, is so lovely! When you think about how old it is, it seems unbelievable that it has survived for such a long time or that people so long ago could have made something so beautiful. Minoan civilization was at its height from approximately 2700 BC to 1450 BC when it is thought to have been severely damaged by a volcanic eruption on the island of Thera.
