2. question: for what civilization did the palace at knossos reveal riches? why/how important? plz answer good, not one word will give the brainliest!

The Minoan civilization on the island of Crete.

Minoan civilization gets its name from the Greek myth of King Minos, first king of Crete, said to be a son of the god Zeus and a human mother named Europa.  Archaeologist Arthur Evans is the one who named the era from around 2600 BC to around 1100 BC the period of "Minoan civilization."

Knossos was indeed a rich and famous place, even after the ancient Minoan era.  In the periods of Greek and Roman governing of Crete, Knossos remained a prominent city.  The legends of King Minos told all sorts of grand tales about the ancient palace there, which included a vast maze known as the Labyrinth, and the Minotaur--half man, half bull--which was kept in the Labyrinth.
