Minoan bathtub - unknown date

"The Minoans were a great Bronze Age civilization that peaked during the second millennium B.C. on Crete. They had built multistory complexes, now referred to as “palaces,” which were actually distribution centers for large quantities of goods such as olive oil, wine, and grains. The platial architecture featured colonnaded courtyards, sliding doors, and external staircases. The monumental stone buildings were braced with wood beams.  Water technologies included running water within the palaces and other settlements, drainage systems, piping systems, rainwater harvesting, and other technologies."
