Ancient Greece: The Greatest Civilization

The origins of Ancient Greece can be traced back to the Bronze Age, when the Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete. The Minoans were a seafaring people who developed a sophisticated culture and wrote in a script called Linear A. Around 1450 BC, the Minoan civilization was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This event led to the rise of the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland. The Mycenaeans were a warrior people who built fortified cities and developed a system of writing called Linear B.

Around 1200 BC, the Mycenaean civilization collapsed. This event is known as the Greek Dark Ages. During this period, Greece experienced a decline in population and culture. However, around 800 BC, Greece began to emerge from the Dark Ages. This period is known as the Archaic Period. During the Archaic Period, the Greeks developed a new alphabet, began to write in the Greek language, and developed a new system of government.

The Classical Period of Ancient Greece began in 500 BC. This period is considered the Golden Age of Greece. During this time, the Greeks made their greatest contributions to philosophy, mathematics, science, literature, and art. The Classical Period ended in 323 BC, with the death of Alexander the Great.
