Aegean Migration

The Aegean Migration refers to a historical movement of peoples from the Aegean region—home to early Greek civilizations—into parts of mainland Greece and surrounding areas during the late Bronze Age (around 1200 BCE). This migration is linked to the decline of the Mycenaean civilization and contributed to the development of early Greek culture. It involved both population shifts and cultural exchanges, shaping the demographic and cultural landscape of ancient Greece. These migrations are part of the broader transitions that led to the emergence of classical Greek civilization.
