The archaeological detective story revealing how the Minoans, Europe’s first great civilization, were destroyed by a cataclysm larger than ever imagined.
We uncover the origins of the people who lived on Crete 3500 years ago, and we trace the likely origins of the fabulous Minotaur and Labyrinth myth. The film tracks archaeologists as they find evidence of an ancient natural disaster all over the island.
We show that the destruction was greater than previously imagined. The Minoans, their language and religion were effectively wiped out.
Co-production with BBC Timewatch, WNET Secrets of the Dead and Arte.
