These two beloved actors skillfully endeared interntational audiences to the people who gave our world some of history's greatest philosophers, architects, artists and adventurers. The people of Greece have their own, special lineage. The Minoan people , were traders, developing the most advanced navy that had ever been seen. All of this concentrated mercantile activity produced great wealth, which went into massive building projects, art, and technological development. Who were the "Hellenes?" You may notice the term"Hellenic"; is used often in referring to the people of Greece. What does it mean? Hellenic Greece was the ancient civilization of Hellas in what is modern Greece... Bound on land by Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Albania to the north, to the east by Turkey and the waters of the Aegean Sea and to the west and south by the Ionian and Mediterranean Seas. Regarded by many as the cradle of Western civilisation, Greece has a long and rich history during which it spread its influence over three continents. The people were called Hellenes.

a History of Greek The History of the Greek Language, to us, begins in the early periods of Ancient Greece, while the Mycenaeans and the Minoans were still around. Greek was spoken all over the two empires, but at that time they did not have an alphabet. This continued until the Minoans, who lived on the island of Crete, first came in contact with the Pheonicians. When the Pheonicians and the Minoans started trading, the Minoans envied the Pheonicians abilities to record trading they had done. They realized that they're trading business would not succeed to grow larger if they did not aquire a way to write things down. So they took the Pheonician alphabet, added vowels to make it easier, and voila, now, everyone who could speak greek could basically write it, as long as they had learned this new alphabet. The Mycenaeans, nieghbors of the Minoans, also started using this alphabet. As more words started being written down, people set down how each word was to be spelled to avoid confusion whether this word meant that or this. Spelling quizzes were born to childeren. Later, near 1200 BC, the Mycenaeans and the Minoans fell to the Doric invaders from the northern Baltic Peninsula. Not much education went on for the next 400 to 600 years as the barbarians ruled over the future greeks.

125 Washington Avenue Albany, New York information@ albanyinstitute.org ANCIENT EGYPT BRIEF HISTORY Egypt was ancient even to those cultures we regard as ancient. It was a powerful nation a thousand years before the Minoans of Crete built their palace at Knossos, and about 900 years before the Israelites followed Moses out of Egypt. It flourished when tribesmen still dwelled in huts above the Tiber River in what is now Italy. Egypt was viewed by Greeks and Romans of 2,000 years ago in much the same way as the ruins of Greece and Rome are viewed today. The first flowering of Egyptian culture occurred a few centuries after the unification, during the period of the Old Kingdom (Dynasties III-VIII) from about 2,700 BC to 2,150 BC. With a strong political and social structure in place, agriculture flourished and Egyptians regularly sent cargoes of lentils, textiles, papyrus, and other products to other countries in exchange for copper, bronze, gold, silver, ivory, rare woods, turquoise, and exotic animal skins. A system of writing called hieroglyphics was introduced and this promoted the creation of stories, poems, and religious texts. The Egyptians also devised mathematical methods for calculating taxes, land surveys, weights and measures, distance, and time. They also explored astronomy, engineering, and medical sciences.

Chronology of the Development of Boys' Clothing Styles: Ancient Minoans (3000-1100 BC) Figure 1.This fresco wall painting is from Santorini and dates to the 16th century BC. The fresco was refiened to a high state by Minoan artists. This is the earliest piece of art archived on HBC showing everyday life of children, in this case teegaers They look to be engaged in boxing, although curiously each has only one gloved hand. As they are engaged in athletics the image tells us nothing about clothingother than a belt. It does give us an interesting view of hair styles. Terminology The Minoan civiization is sometimes described as a generalized Aegean civilization. It was named after King Minos of Greek legend by English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, who excavated the palace at Knossos. There is no evidence that this was King Minos' palace, but given the importance of Minos in Greek legend, the magnificent palace may well have been his. The assocaited Mycenae culture is that of mainland Greece at the same time. Importance The Minoan civilization is one of the earliest important civilizations not founded on a river valley. It was the founding culture for the Achaean Greeks more familiar to the modern reader. The Minonan civilization is notable as the foundation stone for Greek culture upon which so much of Western thought and culture is based.
