AI overview

Knossos is an ancient archaeological site in Crete that was a major center of the Minoan civilization and remained occupied for thousands of years, from the Neolithic period through the ninth century AD. It is historically significant as one of Europe's oldest cities and is famous both for its role in early European civilization and its connection to the Greek myth of Theseus and the minotaur.
