Today in class we took a lot of notes. We had an assignment in the textbook to read a couple of the pages and take notes on the main points, also we had a powerpoint that Mr.Schick showed us about Ancient Greek
- Greece was not a united country, it was collected by separate lands where greek- speaking lived
- By 3000 BC the Minoans lived on the Greek island of Crete. The Minoans created an elegant civilization that had great power in the Mediterranean World.
- Ancient Greece consisted mainly of mountainous peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean Sea. included 2000 islands in the Aegean/Ionian Seas.
- The Aegean, Ionian, and the Black Sea were the transportation for the Greece people.
- Sea travel and trade were important because Greece lacked natural resources, such as timber, precious metals, and usuble farmland.
- Rugged mountains covered 3/4 of Greece the mountain chains ran mainly from northwest to southeast the Balkan Pennisula. Mountains divided the land into 4 different regions that influenced the political life, instead of a single government, the developed small independent communities.
- varied climate, temp averaging 48 in winter/80 in summer
- large waves of indo-europeans migrated from the Eurasian steeps, Europe, India, Swasia, some that settled on Greek mainland in 2000 BC were know as the Mycenaeans
- The trojan war was during the 1200 BC
Mycenaeans vs Troy for 10 years
Troy was a independent trading city in Anatolia
- Not long after the Trojan War Mycenaean civilization collapsed in 1200 BC
The Powerpoints
- civilizations are usually always on body’s of water ( mostly rivers)
great civilizations:key rivers
- Mesopotamia/ Tigris and Euphrate river
- Egypt/Nile river
- India/Indus river
- China/Huang Hu river
Mediterranean means middle of the world
