Sir Arthur Evans

"On the eve of the year 1900, Sir Arthur Evans discovered the Minoan Palace Knossos and what was to become the Minoan civilization. Settled upon the isle of Crete and named after the mythical Cretan King Minos, Evans discovered both an influential civilization with extensive trade routes covering such vast territories as Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Afghanistan and Italy, and the birthplace of ancient Greek civilization as well."

for more on Sir Arthur, please see link 2 - a sample:

"Sir Arthur John Evans (Born July 8, 1851 in Nash Mills, England and died July 11, 1941) was a British archaeologist most famous for unearthing the palace of Knossos on the Greek island of Crete. Evans attended Harrow School and Brasenose College (The University of Oxford and University of Göttingen).
Before Evans began work in Crete, archaeologist Minos Kalokairinos unearthed two of the palace’s storerooms in 1894, but the Turkish government interrupted his work before he could complete excavations. Evans had been deciphering script on seal stones on Crete in 1894 and when the island was declared an independent state in 1900, he purchased the site and began his excavations of the palace ruins. Arthur Evans found 3,000 clay tablets during excavations and worked to transcribe them. From the transcriptions it was clear that the tablets bore traces of more than one script. On the basis of the ceramic evidence and stratigraphy, Evans concluded that there was a civilization on Crete before the civilizations recently brought to light by the adventurer-archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann at Mycenae and Tiryns. The huge ruin of Knossos spanned five acres and had a maze-like quality to it that reminded Evans of the labyrinth described in Greek myth as having been built by King Minos to hide his monstrous child. Thus, Evans dubbed the civilization once inhabiting this great palace the Minoans. By 1903, most of the palace was excavated, bringing to light an advanced city containing with artwork and many examples of writing. Painted on the walls of the palace were numerous scenes depicting bulls, leading Evans to conclude that the Minoans did indeed worship the bull."

that is been theorized that interior the early formation of the photograph voltaic gadget, photograph voltaic wind from the solar stripped most of the gases off of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars leaving a rocky middle at the back of on each and each planet, with in straightforward terms a skinny or no environment. This merely confirms that the approach that created Earth is a classic phenomenon that occurs particularly often during the galaxy. i'm nonetheless scratching my head questioning why SETI hasn't picked up radio transmissions from dozens of planets by potential of now. the two way, i've got faith that is in straightforward terms a count of time earlier we improve telescopes that could stumble on chlorophyll on those different plant life, and do certainly discover different green worlds.
