Introduction

Acroteri is an important relic left over from the Minoan civilization in the 16th century BC. Scholars once believed that it was evidence of the residents of Atlantis before their disappearance, and its site includes two to three-story buildings, millennium-old murals, and complex water channel systems. Archaeologists have discovered many precious artifacts and evidence here, meaning the status and significance of Acroteri in ancient Greek civilization.
