As a Greek archaeologist searching for clues of the past on the island of Crete, you're becoming frustrated. You've been there for years trying to uncover some hidden secret, and despite your prayers to the Gods, you've found nothing.

Then, one day, you stumble upon what you believe to be the ruins of the Palace of King Minos, the great palace at Knossos. Excited beyond belief, you carefully dig out the ruins, and learn a great deal from what you have found. You realize the significance of this discovery because there have been those who have doubted whether or not the Minoans existed at all.

You rush back to the mainland and begin to write an article describing in detail what you have found. You are so proud of your discovery, and you want to make Zeus proud, too! Be sure to include information about the Minoan culture, their art, their religion and their incredible palace. Further, don't forget to describe what you believe to be the cause of the downfall of this once great Minoan civilization.
