Late Bronze Age

After the conclusion of the Persian Wars (492-479BC) with Athens being the true victor, and before the Peloponnesian War, a period of prosperity covered Athens, and they needed to devise new ways to protect themselves and expand their wealth, and how this would affect their relations with allies.

All of these civilizations came and went at different times throughout the duration of Bronze Age Greece. All of them were drastically important in maintaining the great power of the area during a time of such havoc and turmoil. Much like anything in life, all good things must come to an end eventually. The Bronze Age Greece almost completely fell by 146BC. There are a number of different reasons why the collapse of the Bronze Age Greece occurred. In the following sections we will discuss several reasons for the collapse of this once great society.

What effect did the characteristics and achievements of the Minoan civilization and the Mycenaean civilization have on Archaic Greece? There are so many different achievements and characteristics that happened during these times for instance, they were familiar with the technologies of metal, and they could use bronze and iron to make different tools. There was also the formation of an Aegean Oecumene between the southern Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor. There seen the first traces of poleis formations, which was from the Minoan colonies. They also showed the first signs of writing. Ancestors of colossal architecture was also a great achievement, they could build beautiful palaces and temples quite easily.

The Greek Dark Age is a time period from approximately 1100 to 800 BCE. It is marked by the fall of the Mycenaean civilization. It’s no wonder this era is referred to as “dark,” because during this time Greece was overcome by “widespread destruction, depopulation, and impoverishment” (Sacks). Due to violence and social turmoil many people fled their homes in search of a safer environment. The place where there once stood great cities marked by magnificent palaces, with a booming economy and sophisticated political system, were now abandoned and replaced by isolated villages.

The civilization of the High Middle Ages was discussed in chapter 10 of the book “Culture and Value: Survey of Humanities, Volume 1”. The civilization was lasted from 1150 C.E to 1300 C.E and centered in the city of Paris in modern day Europe. Their main focus is to search for synthesis or to articulate all knowledge systemically. Their central belief system was Christian religion. Their system of government or political system is feudalism. Feudalism is a form of government that had its primary focus on holding of land. Moreover, feudal society is hierarchical, highly static, and organized. Each classes obey the classes higher than them. The system of feudalism is important because it was a form of government that had been used from medieval

The advances that took place during the Middle Ages may seem insignificant by today's standards. Nevertheless, the advances which were made in social organization, technology, intellectual quest were far substantial in shaping what the world is like today. The 12th century was a period of blossoming because its people made noteworthy advances in an accelerated rate.

Learning about some of the famous people that have died over the course of the plague, allows us to see how history was impacted throughout time and modern medicine had a starting point. The plague had produced both negative and positive consequences.

Ancient Greece took place between 800 B.C and 500 B.C. It was the developing period for art, literature, architecture, technology, etc. Prior to that, Greece used to be nothing. Ancient Greece has influenced many countries around the world. They have created some of the most influential things to humans everywhere. In this paper, I will be explain the emergence of Greek city-states, the Apology, and the Parthenon. All of which are very important to us today.

Analyzing the destructions of Anatolia, Cyprus, Syria, Egypt, Greece, and the Aegean Bronze Age cultures, Drews disregards the traditional explanations of this collapse of the Bronze Age and examines a military standpoint

There is a commonly held idea that the middle ages in Europe (476 CE-1500 CE) were a backwards period of stagnation and scientific degeneracy, caused by the brutal suppression of science by the evil Catholic Church, and eventually overcome due to the work of enlightened thinkers such as Galileo and Newton. This idea of these ‘dark ages’ has existed since the 14th century, and has continued to gain popularity through the early modern era as historians used it to compare their ‘enlightened times’ to the ‘dark and primitive ages’ of the past. While this narrative is not entirely without merit, the number of manuscripts produced during this time period was significantly lower than the times proceeding it (Buringh, Zanden. 2009), it both fails

I have arrived in a very depressing part in Greek history, the Greek dark ages. The Mycenaean civilization had just collapsed and there had been a great loss in Cities and writing and scripts. This has caused most of the greek people to become iliterate. Without these ideas there is no cilvation. AS well the loss of cities and writing I have also noticed that there has been a great decrease in population I can not say this for all of greece however. In the area where I am studing there is not as many people as there were in into previous civilizations. However the people in this time period do not seem to mind what they missing out on most of them live on small farms or live as nomadic people. All thought these are dark times for the greeks,

The last Olympic swimmer just touched the wall and the race has ended. Cameras are replaying every single movement from the race and a winner has been clearly decided. Just as these Olympic swimmers will gain a medal for placing, ancient Athens had numerous accomplishments of its own. Athens “prosperity … was due in large part to its stable and effective government” (SOURCE 1). When analyzing the history of ancient Athens, is easy to see how the accomplishments of a democracy, Greek philosophy, and Greek literature all shape Athens.

The Mycenaean Age refers not only to the actual city of Mycenae, but also to the civilization between the years 1600 to 1100 B.C. in the area we know today as the Peloponnesus of southern Greece.? Other influential centers included Argos, Tiryns, Sparta, Athens, and Crete.? Mycenaean cities were characterized by the archaeological feats exhibited in their citadels, palaces, and tombs.? As the society developed, a complex

According to legend, Greece’s geography played a principal part on ancient peoples’ lives. Ancient Greece’s geography both benefitted people and hurt them as well. Throughout history mountains such as Mount Olympus, islands such as Crete and Peloponnese, rivers and seas such as the Mediterranean and Aegean that housed many Greek islands have played a very important role in Greek culture and development. Although the Mediterranean and Aegean seas supported Greece’s economy and means for subsistence, their mountainous regions were not very farmable and isolated the city-states. The many islands surrounding Greece added to the disunity and decentralization of Greece.

Very few civilizations have had as profound an influence on the world as those of ancient Greece. The Greeks laid the foundations for fields varying from philosophy to political theory to war tactics. However, this influence was not just due to their intelligence or success, but their widespread presence in the Mediterranean. Greek culture was spread throughout their known world in two distinct manners, the foundation of apoikia in the Archaic Age (8th century to 500 B.C. ) and imperialists by poleis, primarily Athens of the Classical Age (490 - 323 B.C ). Though the culture of a mother city (mētropolis) may have spread through two very different manners of “colonization.” The word is not used in the literal sense, but rather hereafter used to mean “spreading of culture”, as the former can hardly be described using the contemporary definition of colonization and the latter was through Athenian empire-building. These developments had a significant impact on ancient Greece and our modern perception thereof. Like most of the ancient world, we can best analyze these methods of colonialism through extant artifacts. I will analyze an inscription of the foundation oath of Cyrene, which recounts the decision and manner in which the island of Thera sent its citizens to the form a new polis, and the fragments of the Lapis Primus, a marble monolith that documented tributes to Athens when the city was at the peak of its imperial age, evidencing the magnitude of their power and influence in the Greek region.
