From around 3500 BC to 1100 BC the Minoan culture richly developed. In art and economy, the Minoans were a culture of power within their people. As the values of their culture were captured in their art, it was a joy to focus on one aspect of what was celebrated in Minoan culture and art. The Marine Style of art showed appreciation and the notable value of the sea and sea life they were neighbors to and interacted with every day in one form or another. If there was more thought by the masses about what we truly appreciate, such as our Earth and the nature that surrounds us, perhaps there would be more care for our planet as many people do take our shared home for granted.
