http://www.dragonridge.com/greece/minoan1.htm

Extractions: Mysteries of the Minoans The Minoan civilization, based on the island of Crete, achieved political and economic dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean at their height of power. They were a sophisticated culture that was generally peaceful and enjoyed the profits of a healthy trade economy. Trading ties existed to Egypt and the Turkish coast, as indicated in the writings on Egyptian temples and by artifacts found. They have also been linked to the Atlantis legend (see Akrotiri) described by Plato. After the Minoan civilization collapsed, the Mycaneans from the mainland filled the power vacuum. Greece is seismically active, and a series of quakes may have helped to spell the doom of Minoan civilization. All of the palace sites, which were unfortified, have repeatedly burned down. The palaces were not fortified either. Earthquakes can cause fires to start from cooking fire, oil lamps (may have used beeswax lamps though, not olive oil as suspected earlier), etc., although the Minoan usually rebuilt. Finally, some series of events overtook the Minoans, and they never did fully rebuild from that calamity. Go to the ruins of Akrotiri on Thera.

http://www.crystalinks.com/greekhistory.html

Extractions: One of the great paradoxes of history is that the next hesitant advance of European civilization - the development of the first city-states - took place not on the fertile open central European plains, but in a remote island to the south of the Aegean Sea which was completely lacking in metal resources. While the glittering mounted warrior-princes of central Europe dissipated their creative energy in warefare, a highly cultured yet peaceful society, built on trade and an agricultural surplus, emerged on Crete. The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.

Extractions: Search Engine The Ancient Greeks hold an important place in history of the formation of western culture. This class will attempt to provide a historical and cultural introduction to their world. We will begin with the environment and culture of the Greek peninsula b efore the arrival of the Greeks, and end with the conquest of the Greek city states by the Macedonians in 338 B.C. We will pay particular attention to the two centuries from 600-400 B.C. The lectures will proceed in chronological order, and will be suppl emented by readings both in the textbook and in primary source material. Classes will take the form of a lecture/discussion, often accompanied by other activities, such as debates or the viewing of slides videos. The purpose of this format is to allow the student to explore more deeply the concepts from the assigned readi ngs; for this reason, students are strongly encouraged to keep up with the reading assignments. 1.

Yet it has influenced the growth of Western civilization far out of proportion to its size and duration. The Greece that Poe praised was primarily Athens during its golden age in the 5th century BC. Strictly speaking, the state was Attica; Athens was its heart. The English poet John Milton called Athens "the eye of Greece, mother of arts and eloquence." Athens was the city-state in which the arts, philosophy, and democracy flourished. At least it was the city that attracted those who wanted to work, speak, and think in an environment of freedom. In the rarefied atmosphere of Athens were born ideas about human nature and political society that are fundamental to the Western world today.

Extractions: ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS the requirements and patterns to development The Ancient City of Jericho The term civilization basically means the level of development at which people live together peacefully in communities. Ancient civilization refers specifically to the first settled and stable communities that became the basis for later states, nations, and empires. The study of ancient civilization is concerned with the earliest segments of the much broader subject called ancient history. The span of ancient history began with the invention of writing in about 3100 BC and lasted for more than 35 centuries. Mankind existed long before the written word, but writing made the keeping of a historical record possible. The first ancient societies arose in Mesopotamia and Egypt in the Middle East, in the Indus Valley region of modern Pakistan, in the Huang He (Yellow River) valley of China, on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea, and in Central America. All of these civilizations had certain features in common. They built cities, invented forms of writing, learned to make pottery and use metals, domesticated animals, and created fairly complex social structures with class systems. Apart from written records and carved inscriptions, the knowledge about ancient peoples is derived from the work of archaeologists. Most of the significant archaeological findings have been made in the past 200 years. The Sumerian culture of Mesopotamia was discovered in the 1890s, and some of the most important archaeological digs in China were made after the late 1970s.

Extractions: The History of the Greek Language, to us, begins in the early periods of Ancient Greece, while the Mycenaeans and the Minoans were still around. Greek was spoken all over the two empires, but at that time they did not have an alphabet. This continued until the Minoans, who lived on the island of Crete, first came in contact with the Pheonicians. When the Pheonicians and the Minoans started trading, the Minoans envied the Pheonicians abilities to record trading they had done. They realized that they're trading business would not succeed to grow larger if they did not aquire a way to write things down. So they took the Pheonician alphabet, added vowels to make it easier, and voila, now, everyone who could speak greek could basically write it, as long as they had learned this new alphabet.
