Document Summary
In a vary mountainous region that has not settled geologically and there are active volcanoes on thera. Once ships developed the smaller islands were populated but it also led to more challenges from outside people. Around 1700 bc in the late bronze age they were swamped with forces from crete. After 1600 bc mycenaeans encroached on the cycladic islands and they occupied crete and penetrated east to. Rhodes, miletus, and ephesus (knossos and phaestos were important centers on crete) By 1250 bc there are greeks throughout the aegean and they traded and fought with small kingships along the coast of asia minor and they got as far as troy and they breached the citadel before their culture collapsed. By 1100 bc the aegean world ceased to be a world leader and it entered into the dark ages (400 years long)
