Minoan Civilization• Named after King Minos–You read about him…
• Dominant in Mediterranean trade from 2000 to 1400 BCE• Not quite Greek, but Greek-like
![Page 10: Bellringer](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568161bb550346895dd19387/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Minoans Collapse• Recover from disaster in 1700 BCE• Can’t recover from earthquakes and
volcanic eruption in 1470 BCE• Probably invaded from mainland
Greece

• Nomads settle in Greece, borrow cultural ideas from the Minoans, and probably invade Crete• Mycenaeans –Take over Mediterranean trade–Fall to nomadic invaders around
1200 BCE
