		Mycenaean Greece, the last phase of Bronze Age Greece, is the Late Helladic Bronze Age civilization of ancient Greece.
		The Bronze Age is a period in a civilizations development when the most advanced metalworking has developed the techniques of smelting copper from natural outcroppings and alloys it to cast bronze.
		Thus the relationship between Ugaritic and Israelite religion is not exclusive; rather, Ugarit was representative of a much larger Bronze Age Canaanite cultural complex that influenced the beliefs of the Iron Age cultures that succeeded it, among which Israel was one, but also included the Phoenicians, the Philistines, and the peoples of the trans-Jordan.

	Arts and Culture
		Civilisation is the sum total of the material and cultural achievements of a group of people.
		Civilisations with impressive achievements developed during the Bronze Age (3,000 – 1150 B.C. approximately) in the Northeastern Aegean, the Cyclades (its trade-mark being the big-sized marble figurines), Crete and the Greek mainland.
		The civilisations which flourished during the 2nd millennium in the latter two areas, known as the Minoan and Mycenaean respectively, are considered the first two major civilisations of Greece.

	Science Fair Projects - Sea Peoples
		The abrupt end of several civilizations in the decades traditionally dated around 1200 BC have caused many ancient historians to hypothesize that the Sea People caused the collapse of the Hittite, Mycenaean and Mittani kingdoms.
		This theory was recently revived by the archeologist Eberhard Zangger in 2001 (earlier in German) that the Sea Peoples were the early semi-literate city states of the Greek Mycenaean civilisations, who destroyed each other in a disastrous series of conflicts lasting several decades.
		The city states were semi-literate in the sense that very few individuals could master the complex Syllabary used to write in Linear B and other written forms of the early Greek language, and thus relatively few documents were produced in daily life to bear witness to the fratricidal nature of the wars.

		The Tuscan area was inhabited by peoples of the so-called Apennine culture in the late second millennium BC (roughly 1350â“1150 BC) who had trading relationships with the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations in the Aegean Sea.
		The civilisation grew to fill the area between the rivers Arno and Tiber from the eighth century BC, reaching their peak during the seventh and sixth centuries BC, and finally ceded all power and territory to the Romans by the first century BC.
		The Roman civilization finally collapsed in the fifth century AD and the region was left by the Goths, and others, without control.

		Although Mycenaean Greece developed later and under considerable Minoan influence, it eventually prevailed, and in the Late Bronze Age Crete turned into a Mycenaean province.
		In 1953, when the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris was made public, it was demonstrated beyond doubt that the language of the Mycenaean civilisation was Greek.
		By creating a foundational myth that promulgated the idea of a common past, the new Greek civilisation established continuity between the Greece of the Heroic Age and historic Greece and thereby acquired the sense of common identity that it initially lacked.

		Mycenaean pottery is delicate in appearance, and consists mainly of small domestic vases, cups of various shapes, alabastrons and jugs as well as large pithoi amphorae.
		Gradually the naturalism and sources of inspiration of earlier work became increasingly impoverished and degenerate, signaling the end of the figurative period and its replacement by the linear motifs of the Attic style.
		Of all the works in the Louvre, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo are among the most admired: in their striking depiction of the human form they encapsulate the "Greek spirit." This circuit traces this artistic quest of sculptors who had an indelible influence on Western art.

		According to Homer, this was a time of violence and wars based on trade rivalries, although it is thought that Minoan culture was generally peaceful and harmonious.
		By the 11th century BC the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures had collapsed, due to changing patterns of trade and a Dorian invasion from the north, and a 'dark age' ensued.
		During the civil war America, inspired by the Truman Doctrine, gave large sums of money to the anticommunist government, and implemented the Certificate of Political Reliability, which remained valid until 1962.

		Mycenaean civilisation as a whole was strongly influenced by the earlier Minoan civilisation based in Crete.
		In fact, in many ways the early Mycenaean civilisation can be considered to have been no more than a provincial version of the Minoan one.
		This theory is not accepted by all scholars, many of whom still believe that the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations had only minimal external cultural influences.
