Schliemann excavated the ancient Greek city of Mycenae in 1874, finding artifacts that showed a civilization thriving between 1600-1100 BC. Many artifacts were discovered in unique bee-hive shaped burial tombs filled with spoils of war. While the Mycenaeans had a written language called Linear B deciphered in the 1950s, it revealed little about their culture. Major Mycenaean influence was also found in Tiryns, Athens, Orchomenus, and Thebes. Around 1200 BC, all major Mycenaean cities were burned, likely due to warfare, and people began abandoning the cities around 1150 BC, signaling the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization.

Fascination with Egypt has existed for millennia, Isis temples in Greece being known by the 4th century bce. Romans imported a multitude of genuine Egyptian objects and created their own Egyptian works: Hadrians villa at Tivoli, built about 125134 ce, featured an Egyptian garden with Egyptianizing statues of Antino端s, who had been deified by Hadrian after drowning in the Nile. Romans also built pyramid tombs and worshipped Egyptian deities. Isis, revered throughout the Roman Empire and often shown holding Horus on her lap, even became a prototype for Christian images of the Virgin and Child.Mycenaean

The Mycenaeans were an ancient Greek civilization that flourished during the Late Bronze Age from 1600 BC to 1100 BC. They were named after the largest Greek city of this period, Mycenae, located in the Peloponnese region. Mycenaean communities were built around fortresses called citadels, which served as centers of political and religious authority. Within these fortresses, the Mycenaeans had a hierarchical social structure led by a king. They engaged in agriculture, herding, trade, and metalworking. The Mycenaeans worshipped a pantheon of gods led by Zeus and believed the gods lived on Mount Olympus. Their culture provided the basis for many works of ClassicalMycenean ppt

The Mycenaean civilization flourished in ancient Greece between 1600-1100 BC, with major city-states located at Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Athens, and Thebes. The Mycenaeans built massive fortified palaces and cities featuring cyclopean stone walls, corbel vaults, and monumental sculptures like the Lion Gate at Mycenae. Within the palaces, large central halls called megarons were surrounded by storage rooms, workshops, and residential areas. The Mycenaeans engaged in extensive trade and developed the earliest form of Greek writing known as Linear B. Their advanced culture declined after 1200 BC with the collapse of Bronze Age civilization across the eastern Mediterranean.Minoans

The Minoans emerged on Crete around 2100 BCE and established dominance over Crete and the eastern Mediterranean until their culture reached its height around 1500 BCE. They built elaborate palaces like the one at Knossos that featured running water, multiple stories, bathrooms, and gardens but no walls. Sir Arthur Evans began excavating Knossos in 1905 and uncovered its grand staircase and throne room. Minoan society was based around palace centers that collected tribute and traded goods. Their sophisticated culture enjoyed painting, dancing, and unusual sports like bull leaping before it began collapsing around 1450 BCE due possibly to invasion from Mycenaean Greeks or a large volcanic eruption on the island of Thera.Minoans

The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete from around 2000 BCE to 1450 BCE. They had a prosperous trade-based economy and built magnificent palaces, the largest being at Knossos. The Minoans declined around 1450 BCE, possibly due to invasion from the mainland Mycenaean civilization or due to a massive volcanic eruption on the island of Thera.The Minoans of Ancient Crete

The Minoans were the first Greek civilization that developed around 4000 years ago on the island of Crete. The largest and most important site from this civilization is the Bronze Age palace at Knossos, the capital of Crete. Built in 2000 BCE, the palace at Knossos housed the king and served as the center of government, business, and religious life for the Minoans according to excavations. While Greek mythology associates the palace with King Minos and the Minotaur, archaeologists found no evidence of an actual labyrinth and the legends were likely based on caves near the palace. The Minoan civilization and its palace were ultimately destroyed by mainland Greeks around 3400 years ago.Lecture4 minoansmycenaensedited

[2] The height of Minoan civilization was between 1700-1400 BCE, characterized by palace-centered rule and extensive trade networks. Their religion centered on a fertility goddess and palaces served religious and political functions. The decline of the Minoans around 1400 BCE may have been due to invasion or natural disaster.

This document summarizes the history of entrepreneurship in Greece from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses how entrepreneurship has existed since Greek mythology through figures like Prometheus and Hermes. Various Greek civilizations from 3000-1100 BC like the Minoans and Mycenaeans engaged in sea trading. During ancient Greece's Classical era from 480-323 BC, Athens reached its peak and entrepreneurial activities included trade, crafts, and tax collection. The Macedonian and Byzantine empires further developed agriculture, commerce, and trade guilds. Under Ottoman rule from 1453-1821, entrepreneurship declined but revived during the Greek revolution against the Turks through trade and shipping that supported the independence cause.

Mycenae reached its peak around 1350 BC, with a citadel and lower town housing 30,000 inhabitants spanning 32 hectares. The Mycenaeans became successful merchants through contacts with Crete and Eastern countries, acquiring supplies, materials, and technological knowledge. Wealth was strictly accumulated by kings ruling from palaces that were centers of entrepreneurship, crafts, agriculture, trade, and redistribution of goods. Skilled artisans working in the palaces created fine artworks like pottery, ivory carvings, metalwork, textiles, stone sculptures, and seals using imported materials. Writing also developed during this period to help administrate commerce. The fortified citadel of Mycenae had aMinoans

The Minoans were an advanced Bronze Age civilization centered on Crete that flourished between 2700-1500 BC. They built large palaces and established an empire through skilled trading. Their society was based around female goddesses and had equal roles for men and women. Natural disasters and overuse of resources contributed to their decline. The Mycenaeans were influenced by Minoan culture and dominated Greece from 1600-1100 BC through warfare and fortress construction. Both civilizations declined, ushering in the Greek Dark Ages period.History of The Canary Islands

The Mycenaeans settled in Greece around 2000 BC and were influenced by Minoan culture, eventually dominating Crete after 1400 BC. Their empire lasted until 1200 BC when the Dorians invaded. Sparta later emerged as a powerful city-state in the 9th century BC, known for its military focus and social system where male citizens underwent rigorous training. Sparta was a dominant military power until 371 BC and played a major role in the Greco-Persian WarsArt and Culture - 03 - Homer and End of Bronze Age

The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete between approximately 2000 BCE to 1500 BCE. They developed an advanced, centralized society with large palaces that administered outlying towns and villages. Minoan art, architecture, and technology were highly advanced for the Bronze Age. The Minoan civilization declined rapidly around 1500 BCE, possibly due to the eruption of the Thera volcano and an invasion by the Mycenaeans.Arh2050 mycenaean & archaic greek art mainland greece's first flowering

The three major Bronze Age civilizations in the Aegean region were the Cycladic civilization based on the Cyclades islands, the Minoan civilization centered on Crete, and the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland. The Minoans built impressive palaces like Knossos with its central courtyard and frescoes, suggesting an advanced society with prominent female roles. However, Minoan culture declined around 1450 BCE while the Mycenaeans erected fortified hilltop citadels and tombs containing rich artifacts. These civilizations preceded Archaic Greece and influenced later Greek culture, architecture, and religion.Trabajo

The Minoan civilization arose on Crete from 2700-1500 BC and was a major Bronze Age civilization rediscovered in the early 1900s. The Mycenaean civilization emerged in mainland Greece around 1600-1100 BC and was influenced by Minoan culture. In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a half-man, half-bull monster imprisoned in the labyrinth of Crete designed by Daedalus that was eventually killed by the hero Theseus.The Minoan civilisation

The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete from approximately 3650 to 1400 BC, preceding Mycenaean civilization and Ancient Greece. The civilization was rediscovered in the early 20th century by British archaeologist Arthur Evans and was the earliest civilization in Europe. Minoan culture had significant trade connections throughout the Mediterranean and Near East. The Minoan language and writing system remain undeciphered. The civilization ended around 1400 BC for unclear reasons, possibly due to invasion, earthquake, or volcanic eruption.Art1100 LVA 14 Greece Online

- 2. Heinrich Schliemann: Excavated an ancient Greek city called Mycenae in 1874.He found a vast culture within the structures filled with all sorts of artifacts.The civilization seemed to have thrived in the years 1600-1100 BC.Discovery!
- 3. Many artifacts were found in burial tombs that were filled with spoils of war.The tombs were discoveries themselves as they had a unique bee-hive shape called tholos.Artifactshttp://travel.webshots.com/photo/2946223340059082311rlZrAd
- 4. The Mycenaeans developed a written language (much like the Minoans) called Linear B.It was deciphered by Michael Ventris in the 1950s. However it still didnt open up that much information about them.Communicationhttp://proteus.brown.edu/greekpast/4690
- 5. The cities of Tiryns, Athens, Orchomenus, and Thebes also had evidence of having Mycenaean influence.Other Major Mycenaean Sites
- 6. Around 1200 BC, the palaces are burnt in all major Mycenaean cities, probably from warfare or revolt.More places are destroyed fifty years later, people leave the cities at this point.Collapse of the Mycenaeans
- 7. There is some evidence of a Trojan War at this time but the evidence is highly disputed. Heinrich was heavily influenced by the tales of the Iliad and Odyssey, so his judgment might have been subjective. Possible Trojan War?http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/04/dayintech_0424
- 8. Heinrich found what he thought was the death mask of Agamemnon in a burial mound, however there is no scientific to support this.He also found the tomb was filled with treasure which he believes was confiscated at Troy, however there is no real evidence of this either.Evidence of Trojan War?http://www.artchive.com/artchive/G/greek/agamemnon.jpg.html
