yeah
ancient Greece
of all the civilizations that have been studied and researched in the past few
decades the Greek civilization is perhaps the most interesting one
greece is a small country in southern Europe the south of Greece is a small
island in the Arabian Sea named crete with stands as a gateway to three
continents Asia Africa and Europe in this rugged mountainous island of Crete
the first European civilization the mini ones appeared about 3000 BC at the start
of the Bronze Age the mini ones were skilled artists and craftsmen and
carried on a flourishing trade with their overseas neighbors this on them
the title off sea kings the beautiful cities of Crete were destroyed in 1450
BC perhaps due to an earthquake or a wall cannock eruption better known as
the minoan eruption some theories also suggest that the cities of Crete were
destroyed because of the conquest by the mainlanders the Mycenaeans Mycenae was
the best-known town in Greece at that time and its inhabitants probably ousted
the Minoans and seized their profitable sea routes
there by replacing the Minoan civilization with Mycenaean civilization
historians believe my cine won a war against Troy the trojan war in Asia
Minor this war fought over the beautiful Queen Helen has inspired major works of
classical literature Mycenae and most other settlements in the pill open
nieces were destroyed
soon after 1200 BC this was followed by the Dorian invasion from northern Greece
they moved into this region while the Mycenaeans fled to Asia Minor from
around 1200 BC the palace centers and outlying settlements of the Mycenaeans
highly organized culture began to be abandoned or destroyed and by a thousand
fifty bc the recognizable features of Mycenaean culture had disappeared
leading to a period known as the Dark Age
the Dark Age lasted until 800 BC during this time people once again lived in
shabby villages and the knowledge of writing was lost with the collapse of
the palatial centers no more monumental stone buildings were built and the
practice of wall painting seized vital trade links were lost and towns and
villages were abandoned the ancient Greek civilization developed in the
small for tile valleys in the mountainous territory and along the cost
of the peninsula these physical features cause the people in each land region to
develop different ideas customs and way of life the main occupation of Greeks
was agriculture and the scarcity of habitable land poster destruction left
behind by the Dark Age forced many Greeks to leave their homeland during
the seven hundreds to 500 BC Greek colonists founded new settlements called
city-states along the shores of the Mediterranean and Black Seas originally
the city-states were ruled by hereditary King
x 750 BC the nobles and most city-states had launched an insurrection against the
monarchies and overthrown that tyrannous rule often neighboring city states
fought over borderlands for example sparta became powerful that conquering
other states the city of spotter was situated in the southern part of Greece
and was a military state where every boy and girl had to go through military
training sparta true to its dominant nature extended its conquest over the
neighboring states until $YEAR it gained control of most of the villain osseous
the Spartans had to us constantly fight with their neighboring city states and
were therefore good soldiers on the other hand after conquering ionia the
Persians began to plan their next moves spreading their threat to the greek and
pile during the 500 BC the Persians conquered the Greek city-states of Asia
Minor many city states united under spotters leadership to fight the
invaders the greek navy followed a plan of the Athenian statesman chemist oculus
and withdrew to the Bay of Salamis that it thoroughly defeated the portions and
sank about half their fleet with the defeat of the portions athens emerged as
a strongest land-based power
