The Mycenaean civilization is very different from the Minoan civilization that you know. You see, the Minoan civilization is very peaceful, while the Mycenaean civilization is warlike. They thought of themselves as great warriors. Even though they thought of themselves as great warriors they had to think of a plan to protect themselves in their villages from any harm. So to solve that problem they built great fortresses on mountain tops to protect them from any means of danger.
As for entertaining themselves the Mycenaean’s did all
different things. But the one thing they had to do was pottery work. They would
of course have to do that because they need a method to carry items around, or
to simply eat their food in a container. You probably know that different
civilizations follow a certain religion. But not much is known regarding the
religion means of the Mycenaean civilization, although they did worship many
gods.
Oil and Wine were used frequently for the Mycenaean diet. They
rarely ate meat; however they did eat meat around holidays and celebrations.
For that reason the Mycenaean’s are considered vegetarian.
Some studies say that the reason for the disappearance of
the Minoan civilization is because of the Mycenaean’s. Although for the fall of the Mycenaean
civilization there is no clear reason as to why that happened. The reasons for
the fall are scattered. It might have happened from natural disasters, a
sickness, or another civilization took over, etc. The Mycenaean’s might have
fell possibly from the Dorian’s taking over the civilization.
