The Greeks went into the Dark Age
The Dark Ages, following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilisation in the 12th Century BCE.
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.
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.

The Mycenaean civilization is generally considered to have begun around 1600 BCE.

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.
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.
trade and communication stops
The Dorian Age, often referred to as the Dark Age of Greece (circa 1100-800 BCE), is considered "dark" due to the significant decline in cultural and economic activity following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization. During this period, there was a loss of literacy, reduced trade, and a lack of monumental architecture, leading to a scarcity of historical records. The social structure fragmented, and many regions experienced population decline and ruralization, resulting in a general sense of stagnation and obscurity in comparison to the preceding Mycenaean era.
