Historians suspect that the decline of the Minoan Civilization was primarily due to a combination of natural disasters, such as the catastrophic volcanic eruption on Santorini around 1600 BCE, and subsequent tsunamis that may have devastated coastal areas. Additionally, internal social or political turmoil, along with invasions by Mycenaean Greeks, likely contributed to their decline. The Minoans' advanced society gradually diminished, leading to their eventual assimilation into other cultures.
