Minoan and Mycenaean

Today in class Mr. Schick was not in class, so the sub told us to work on our power points. My group finished the LO1 part of our power point  Then we started to look for information in LO2 but ran out of time.In LO2 it talks about The Aegean region and the people that live in it. The Minoan Civilization started around 2000 BC on the island of Crete. They got their wealth by controlling the surrounding seas and from trading with many eastern Mediterranean lands, above all Egypt.  The Greeks settled in the Aegean area too. They settled among the people they found in their new homeland  developed a way of life that combined their own traditions and local ones, eventually came under the influence of nearby Crete. By 1600 BC Greek chieftains had  established fortified settlements along the mainland's southern shore and on some of the islands, and these settlements had become the centers of a  new civilization. The civilization was called the Mycenaean civilization. The Mycenaean Greeks were a warlike people. The Mycenaean struggled with the Minoans for the control of the Eastern Mediterranean . The rivalry ended about 1400 BC with the destruction of the Minoan towns, perhaps destroyed by the Mycenaean conquest. The Mycenaean civilization lasted until shortly after 1200 BC.
