Text on the subs: In the second millenium B.C. mighty sea power apperared on Crete. The Cretans left the big cities with poved streets after themselves. The walls of their palaces were decorated with amazing fresco. The Cretans' huge fleet dominated on the eastern Mediterranean. The power of Crete controled the most important trade routes and metals deposits. The Cretans attacked Egypt, settled in the Crimea and imported amber from the Baltic. But suddenly in 15th century b.c. Crete's power ceased to exist. The palaces were destroyed... and the natives left lived-in lands. What was the reason for so sudden and tragical Crete's power downfall? What nation was the founder of this state? Scientists suppoused it to be the Slavs' ancestors. Is it right? And what did narrate mysterious inscriptions of this the first European civilization?
