Mycenaean Civilization - of Greece, Northern
Mediterranean - 1600 - 1100 BCE - The Mycenaean Greeks were
Indo-European speaking peoples who spread from southwestern Europe,
India and Iran. Mycenaean culture is marked by fortified
palace-centers, which were built on hills surrounded by stone walls.
Royal families would live within the city-wall structure, while
citizens would live outside them. The Mycenaeans used tombs built
into hillsides called tholos tombs. Mycenaean Civilization
was a warrior civilization ruled by monarchy. The civilization began
to weaken, and ultimately was burned by c. 1100 BCE.
