Knossos of 1700 BC "comes alive" with the help of AI

The digital representation presents the Palace of Knossos as it is estimated that it was in antiquity: an extensive complex with more than 1,000 rooms, without fortified walls, but with particularly advanced infrastructure.

It stands out that the palace had a sophisticated hydraulic system and flush toilets, technology that appeared in other parts of Europe millennia later.

Particular emphasis is also placed on the social organization of the time, as the video states that this is a civilization that was not ruled by kings but probably by high priestesses, an element that differentiates it from other ancient civilizations.

According to the narrative, the Minoan civilization was faced with two major disasters: a powerful volcanic eruption and then an invasion of warriors from mainland Greece, events that contributed to its decline.

The video connects the collapse of this civilization with the birth of well-known myths, such as the Labyrinth and the Minotaur, suggesting that these legends may have arisen from the memories and ruins of a real society.
