Geography (con.) Greece is a peninsula about the size of Louisiana in the Mediterranean Sea. It ’ s very close to Egypt, the Persian empire (includes Turkey) and Rome.

Early Greek History (Minoans) By 2800 B.C., a Bronze Age civilization called the Minoan civilization was established on Crete. The Minoan civilization was the beginnings of the Greek Civilization BC

Minoans Minoans gave the Greeks their alphabet Greeks also copied many Minoan gods. The Minoan civilization on Crete suffered a catastrophe around 1450 B.C. – Great Tidal Wave – Mycenaean's invaded

The End for the Minoans Reasons for the downfall of the Minoans. Natural disaster- earthquakes are believed to have weakened the Minoans Mycenaean's invade Crete very easily. Why?

The Mycenaeans BC Conquered the Minoans. Were warlike people from the mainland of Greece.

The Mycenaean World: mid-2M B.C.E.

Mycenae, Acropolis Lions gate Mycenae was a city-state. City-State- a city that controls surrounding lands City-states were politically independent. The Acropolis was where the government functioned Acropolises were usually on a hill to help provide military defense.

Troy Troy was a Greek city located in modern day Turkey. Troy became rich with trade Troy is remembered for its great walls
