In about 6000 B.C. they either decayed because of infighting or because of migrants from across the Black Sea. No matter what the real reason, this must really be hitting home for many European countries anno 2017.
Minoan Civilization
This was an old Greek civilization, predating even what we consider to be “ancient” Greece. It’s assumed they were wiped out by a natural disaster – either an earthquake or a volcano.
