Arthur Evans

Arthur Evans was a British archaeologist best known for his discovery and excavation of the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete in the early 20th century. He is credited with uncovering significant aspects of Minoan civilization, including advanced architecture, art, and an early form of writing known as Linear A. Evans restored parts of the palace and developed theories about Minoan culture, which he believed was more advanced than previously thought. His work has had a lasting impact on the study of ancient Greek history and culture, earning him a prominent place in archaeological scholarship.
