A catastrophic flood in the city of Tiryns (before 1200 BC)

摘要

The Mycenaean civilization of Greece was long before the well known "classical" period of Greek Antiquity. It was one of the major civilizations of the Bronze Age, dating from 1600 BC to 1150 BC. This civilization learnt most from the older Minoan civilization of Crete. The Mycenaeans of Greece were mainly in Beotia (north-west from Athens) and in the Peloponnese.
