Where are the ruins of the Palace of Knossos located?

it's always amazing to me that they were able to create such incredible buildings that far back in time

in mythology, it was where the maze of the Minotaur was

I have visited it

great info

Player camping grann, Think the comment says the longer ago something was built the more likely it is to last

I always wonder how buildings in those days could be destroyed by fire. I mean, I imagine them being made of only stone?

Aukyboy, ceilings are rarely constructed of stone, particularly in large buildings.

whitesloth91, i wonder what they would have build with todays technology in hand..

SQinfoNUTS, what has this to do with Knossos!!

whitesloth91, I used to be amazed. And then I had a chance to visit Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The original prison itself was built in the early 1800s. That part of the building is standing and for the most part is in fine shape. Additions were made to the building around the time of Roxbury 1950. That interestingly, is falling apart.

whitesloth91, yes I feel the same way .
