The Minoan Civilization. The origin of the Minoans is unknown, but by 1600 BC they dominated the Aegean region. They lived on Crete from about 2500 BC to 1400 BC, when they were conquered by Mycenaeans from the Greek mainland. Their prosperity depended upon seafaring and trade, especially with the Middle East and with Egypt.
