I've been to Knossos and Gournia, whose existence I only learned of because we happened to drive past it on the way back to Istro, where we were staying. I have to return to Crete at least to visit the palaces of Malia and Phaistos.

Hi as a Christian. We believe the Earth is around 7, 000 years old. We believe creation happened in 6 literal 24 hour days. So, Lets just say at 1:50 those date to about 5, 000 bc. So, First there was the one continent then the flood happened. How did the descendants of Ham (Egyptians) or Japhet (Europeans) son of Noah get to Crete?
