Answer:

D)It provided scientific evidence that the civilization of Atlantis may actually have existed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Minoan culture which was believed to have existed around 3000 BC to 1100 BC was discovered around the 19th century.

However, the findings of how the Minoan civilization got lost is similar to that of the legend of Atlantis, the historical writings of a Greek Philosopher Plato.

Hence, while the descriptions of Atlantis are widely different from Minoan "It provided scientific evidence that the civilization of Atlantis may actually have existed."
