Scholars point to several factors contributing to the decline of the Mycenaean civilization, including widespread natural disasters such as earthquakes and droughts that disrupted agricultural production. Invasions by the Sea Peoples and internal strife, including social upheaval and conflicts, weakened political structures. Additionally, trade disruptions and the eventual collapse of trade networks diminished economic stability. These combined factors led to the gradual decline and eventual collapse of Mycenaean society around the 12th century BCE.
The Dark Ages, following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilisation in the 12th Century BCE.
Scholars have proposed several explanations for the disappearance of the Minoans, including natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that might have devastated their cities and agricultural systems. Some theories suggest that invasions by Mycenaean Greeks contributed to their decline, while others point to internal factors like social upheaval or economic decline. Additionally, climate change could have affected their agricultural productivity, leading to vulnerability and eventual collapse. The combination of these factors likely contributed to the gradual decline of Minoan civilization.
The Mycenaean civilization is generally considered to have begun around 1600 BCE. It emerged in the Late Bronze Age in Greece, characterized by its palatial states, advanced architecture, and the use of Linear B script. The civilization thrived until approximately 1100 BCE, when it began to decline, leading to the subsequent Greek Dark Ages.
The Mycenaeans came first, as they were prominent in the Aegean region during the late Bronze Age, around 1600 to 1100 BCE. The Mycenaean civilization is considered a precursor to later Greek cultures, including the Spartans. The Spartans emerged as a distinct society in the region of Laconia during the early Iron Age, around the 10th century BCE, long after the decline of Mycenaean civilization.
Ans: Ecological disasters
During the Dark Age in Ancient Greece, the Mycenaean civilization began to decline, wars broke out between city-states, and there were earthquakes all over Greece.

They moved into Greece from the north as the Mycenaean civilisation crumbled and reestablished Greek culture in the Peloponnesian Peninsula.
The Dorians invaded the Mycenaean civilization primarily in the southwestern part of Greece, particularly in regions such as the Peloponnese and parts of central Greece. This invasion, which is believed to have occurred around the 12th century BCE, contributed to the decline of the Mycenaean civilization and the onset of the Greek Dark Ages. The Dorian migration is often associated with the spread of new cultural practices and the eventual rise of city-states in ancient Greece.
Ans: Ecological disasters
No, the Minoan era was replaced about 1400 BCE by the Mycenaean culture, which itself was in decline by the time of the Trojan War (about 1200 BCE by incoming peoples - Dorian Greeks and the Sea Peoples.
