During the times of the classical civilizations, the Greeks had evolved and brought new ideas of architecture and design. Two civilizations within the Grecian community were the Minoans and Mycenaeans. I would like to focus on the Minoans and they were sea-based and centered on the island of Crete.
Above is a modern day image of the Palace of Knossos, which was the main element of the Minoan community and a key part of their design contributions.
The Minoan period is dated between 2000-1400 B.C.E. They had their own distinct set of style for their columns. For example of their style is the Palace of Knossos, whoms columns display the Doric style of the Greeks. The style of the Doric column is the simpliest and most standard of all styles.
Below is an example of the Palaces columns.
Below is the throne room from the Palace of Knossos. It displays the unique columns and different intricate details on the walls and furniture, a design that was very common in the classical civilization era.
