Mycenaeans

The Mycenaeans were an ancient Greek civilization that thrived from around 1600 to 1100 BCE. They are known for their impressive palaces, such as those at Mycenae and Tiryns, and their sophisticated art and architecture. The Mycenaeans were also notable for their contributions to early Greek culture, including writing in a script called Linear B, which recorded early forms of the Greek language. Their society was organized into kingdoms ruled by powerful leaders. The Mycenaeans played a crucial role in the development of Greek mythology and history, influencing later Greek civilization.
