	The Greeks - The Mycenean Civilisation
		The Myceneans, named after their capital Mycenae, thrived between 1600 BC and 1200 BC and built huge monumental structures and citadels, such as the 1,100-meter long 'Lion's Gate' at Mycenae.
		The bronze armor, pottery, and ivory found in the unique beehive-like tombs of Mycenean nobles also suggests they came to dominate trade in the eastern Mediterranean until the collapse of their civilization in the 12th century BC.
		Why their civilization disappeared is a matter of debate, but after them, Greece fell into a long 'Dark Age' which lasted until the 6th century BC.

	Mycenaean Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mycenaean period flourished between the arrival of the proto-Greeks in the Aegean around 1600 BC and the collapse of their Bronze-Age civilization around 1100 BC.
		Mycenaean civilization was dominated by a warrior aristocracy.
		Around 1400 BC, the Mycenaeans extended their control to Crete, center of the Minoan civilization, and adopted a form of the Minoan script called Linear A to write their early form of Greek.

	Epirus (region) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tumuli had many similar characteristics to those later used by the Myceneans, suggesting a possible ancestral link between Epirus and the Mycenean civilisation.
		Certainly, Mycenean remains have been found at two ancient religious sites in the region, the Necromanteion (Oracle of the Dead) on the Acheron river, and the Oracle of Zeus at Dodona.
		The Dorians invaded Greece via Epirus and Macedonia at the end of the 2nd millennium BC (circa 1100 BC-1000 BC), though the reasons for their migration are obscure.

	Temple of the Sacred Spiral - Cretan religion
		The Minoan civilisation on the Isle of Crete, the historical predecessor of Greek Mycenean, was the apogee of Goddess based culture that lasted over two thousand years from 3100 BC to 1050 BC.
		The only calamity in their fifteen hundred years of civilisation that was suffered was the earth quake - at least three per century - and this was experienced as belonging to the province of the Great Goddess.
		This same Goddess, in whom death and life reside, was herself the mythic garden where death and life, the two queens, were one and to her faithful child, the Minotaur, whose image of destiny is the lunar cycle, she was paradise itself.

	The Minotaur
		One is the relationship between Mycenean Greece and Minoan Crete, and the other is the influence of earlier civilizations in Mesopotamia and the Levant (modern Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria), or even earlier, in Anatolia.
		It is quite possible that Mycenean Greeks might have been a little jealous of the power, the artistry, and the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Minoans before the explosion, whereas afterwards, it was the Greeks who were in control.
		The civil administration must have been destroyed, and the Myceneans were able to impose their administration, either as a friendly gesture of disaster relief, or as an unfriendly occupation.

	Mycenaean Greece
		The Mycenaean civilization flourished between 1600 BC and the collapse of their Bronze-Age civilization around 1100 BC.
		Mycenaean civilization was dominated by a warrior aristocracy.
		There is the second theory, which has the Mycenaean civilization falling in the course of internal societal conflicts brought on by a rejection of the palatial system by the most underprivileged strata of society, who were impoverished at the end of the Late Helladic.

		Known Elymian civilisation bears a few traces of contact with Minoan cultures, though the implications are inconclusive: One theory suggests that the Minoans may have shared some remote roots with the Elymians, and probably traded with them.
		While 1100 BC is generally agreed by scholars to be the most recent likely period of their arrival, the Elymians may have been present in northwestern Sicily centuries earlier.
		Little of the written Elymian language has been discovered in archeological elements dated to their civilization as it existed before the arrival of the Phoenicians and Greeks, and what has been found (using Greek characters with a few Phoenician ones in tablets found at Entella and inscriptions at Segesta) has not been satisfactorily translated.

	Population crises and cycles in history
		The great Arab civilisation went through the same cycle, and now, again, the Islamic civilisation that had begun to revive in the 19th century with a much reduced population, is threatened by over-population, with resulting violence and increasing environmental degradation and economic refugees.
		A succession of brilliant centres of civilisation succumbed in turn to population crises with famines, epidemics and often desolated countrysides.
		At the height of Mayan civilisation AD 300-600 their pattern of settlement included only 80 small townships and around 200 lesser centres, but as the population grew steadily, densities rose to up to 888 per square kilometre.

		From the Aegean civilisations, we have evidence of fertility cults and bull worship, elaborate funeral ceremonies from Central Europe, sun worship fro the Nordic Bronze Age and the stone circle traditions of Britain and Ireland.
		In the Mycenean palaces of Bronze Age Greece the metal was relatively precious, in spite of being worked and used in large quantities in the form of weapons, jewellery, vessels and tools.
		In order to organise the exploitation of the Sardinian mines better, the Myceneans brought with them extremely experienced Cypriot miners and smiths, who, inter alia, taught the inhabitants of the nuraghi the art of casting in bronze small human and animal figures in the way that was normal at that time in Syria and Anatolia.

		It was the common practice to bake the tablets for long-term preservation (indeed, many tablets found at Ugarit, for example, were found in the very ovens where they were being baked for permanent storage in the royal archives).
		Any civilization, anywhere, could make use of clay tablets as a medium for writing, and in fact civilizations all over the place did so.
		Remember that, as far as we know, in 1250BC there was no urbanised civilisation between the Pillars of Hercules and Mycenean Greece.

	A FIRE NOT BLOWN: CHAPTER 10: CHRONOLOGY
		Up to the final years of the nineteenth century [A. D.] it was taken for granted that the discoveries of Schliemann at Troy and Mycenae, which had caused such surprise, provided confirmation of the general picture of the Trojan affair and the Argive tyrants that emerges from a study of Homer and Thucydides.
		Only since the dating of Crete and Mycenae from Egypt has there been introduced such a long dark age between the end of Minoan and Mycenean civilisation and the start of Greek, as opposed to Mycenean, civilisation.
		The interpretation of the data on which the astronomical dating from Egypt was based is increasingly under attack, and there are grave doubts about the value of radio-carbon dating in the period concerned.

		The armed Macedonian Struggle was cut by the Young Turk revolution of July 1908,which overthrw the absolutist regime of the Sultan.The Young Turks issued a general amnesty and promesed equality of civil rights for all the nationalities.Tn those circumstances, the armed conflict between Greeks and Bulgarians and Serbs came to an end.
		The reward for the efforts and sacrifices of the paricipants in the Macedonian Struggle came with the victorioyw Balkan Wars of 1912-13, by which Macedonia shook off the Ottoman yoke that had lain upon it for five centuries.The Treaty of Bucharest (10August 1913) finally fixed the frontiers of the Balkan states in Macedonia.
		Nonethless,considerable Greek populations remained within the territories passed to Serbia and Bulgaria, and quite a number of Bulgarians were left on Greek soil.The First World War which followed the Asia Minor campaign and its dramatic conclusion were to cause widespread movements of population which stabilised the national homogeneily in Greek Macedonia.

		While some Christians from time to time have deduced from statements about the law in the writings of the apostle Paul that Christians are under grace to the exclusion of all law (see antinomianism), this is not the usual viewpoint of Christians.
		In the 1970s and 1980s a movement known as Christian Reconstructionism (Theonomy) argued that the civil laws as well as the moral laws should be applied in today's society as part of establishing a modern, theocratic state.
		Others are content to grant that none of the Mosaic laws apply as such and that the penalties attached to the laws were limited to the particular historical and theological setting of the Old Testament, and yet still seek to find moral and religious principles applicable for today in all parts of the law.

		From the pre-Mycenean and Mycenean tombs in Lakithra we may draw the conclusion that they were a bellicose people; anthropological examination of skulls has revealed that most of them had suffered repeated blows.

		He envisaged a spiral of development, as the demands of a growing population led to the exploitation of tree and vine crops, which in turn led to a higher level of production which could support more people, a proportion of whom could be engaged in work other than agriculture.
		The coincidence of Minoan and Mycenean civilisation with the areas of early olive and grape cultivation in Europe is therefore highly significant.
		Botanical studies are crucial for the reconstruction of the early history of agriculture and the development of civilisation, whilst pollen analysis has a prominent place in the interpretation of the history of vegetation, as well as possible changes in climate.

		In 1400BC Crete was conquered by the Myceneans and the Palace of Mycenae was greatly enlarged with the building of the famous Lion Gate and the Treasury of Atrias.
		The destruction of Minoan and Mycenean culture in Crete and mainland Greece was the work of the Sea Peoples, the Ionians, Achaeans and the Dorians followed, eventually gaining supremacy over the whole of Greece and the surrounding islands.
		Therefore despite the patriarchal conquest of the pre-existing matriarchal Cretan and Mycenean civilisations you will observe that in the Greek Mysteries sages and seeresses were just as venerated as military heroes and the Goddess cult felt a very strong sway, even in classical times, with priestesses being accorded the same status as priests.
