Take the following as truth: We now know many facts about Minoan Crete including that at the height of its influence, the population probably numbered more than 2 million, about four times greater than today's figure, with 100,000 people in the capital, Knosses.
Then the following statement: "At the height of the Minoan empire Crete was home to no more than ten thousand people." is true, false, or inconclusive?
