The Mycenaean

The Mycenaean settled in ancient Greece somewhere between 3000 BC and 2000bc. The Mycenaean came after the Minoan couture; and owe a lot of their cultural development to them. By 1200 they started to abandon their cities, and by 1050 Greece slipped into the dark ages. They live mostly on the hilltops, mostly because the land was mountainous. They had a very good navy, because ocean transport was necessary for movement, so they mastered the sea. They had a very good trade, because the land they lived on was not fertile, and was mountainous; so they could not grow crops on their own. One crop they did have was olive, the major crop that they used for trade. Olive was good for many things including olive oil. They also became known for producing weapons. They used their weapons a lot. They were a war like people, they concord territories by conquest.
