After the fall of Mycenaean society around 1200 BCE, Greece entered a period known as the Dark Ages, characterized by a significant decline in population, loss of literacy, and reduced trade. The complex palatial structures and centralized administrations collapsed, leading to smaller, more localized communities. This era saw the emergence of new cultural practices and the eventual rise of the city-states, setting the stage for the classical period. Over time, the Greeks would rediscover writing and establish a more unified cultural identity.

After the Dorians attacked, the Mycenaean people fled to the hills. Faced with learning to survive, they discontinued the use of writing skills.
The Mycenaean places were held as tombs for the Mycenaean's.
The fall was precipitated by the incursion of other peoples who looted and took over - mainly the Sea Peoples, Ionians and Dorians.
Mycenaean society was ruled by a class of kings known as "wanax," who held significant power over their territories. These rulers were often supported by a network of nobles and officials who managed various aspects of governance, including military and economic affairs. The Mycenaean kings resided in fortified palace complexes, which served as administrative and political centers. Their rule was characterized by a centralized authority, with a focus on warfare, trade, and monumental architecture.
