Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece from 3000 BCE to 1200 BCE saw the rise and fall of two early civilizations - the Minoans of Crete and the Mycenaeans of mainland Greece. The Minoans established cities on Crete like Knossos with palaces, temples, and workshops governed by priest-kings until their mysterious fall around 1400 BCE. They had a matriarchal society and economy based on farming, fishing, and trade. The Mycenaeans then dominated mainland Greece from 2000 BCE, living in fortified hilltop settlements and engaging in feudal agriculture and overseas trade until their collapse around 1200 BCE, coinciding with the Trojan War and the arrival of the Dorians.

The Balearic Islands cave goat was a species of goat that lived on the islands of Mallorca and Menorca around 5000 years ago. It was a small goat, only about 50 cm tall at the shoulder and weighing 50-70 kg, that was more closely related to sheep. While the exact cause is unknown, the dominant theory is that the Balearic Islands cave goat went extinct due to human activity on the islands around 2981 BC.
Inca civilization
The Inca civilization had a highly organized agricultural system using terraces to grow crops like corn, potatoes, and quinoa. They stored surplus food by freeze drying it. Llamas were used as pack animals and for their wool, which was made into clothing. The Inca had specialized jobs and large cities made of stone with indoor plumbing. Their government was headed by the Sapa Inca, who was viewed as a god. People paid taxes to support the empire. They had an elaborate road system and traded throughout the empire without a monetary system. Record keeping was done using knotted string records called quipus.

Horses were introduced late into ancient Egyptian history around 1500 BC. Chariots pulled by two horses were used in battles and for special occasions like catching animals. Horses were rare and seen as a status symbol for the rich in Egypt since only wealthy people could afford to own and care for them. Horses were well looked after with individual names and sent to the best stables.

The Minoans, a powerful civilization based on the island of Crete, dominated the Aegean Sea from 2000 to 1400 BC and influenced Greek culture. Excavations revealed the Minoans had a nature-loving, athletic culture where women played a major religious role and animals and people were sacrificed to gods. Though earthquakes in 1700 BC and a major eruption in 1470 BC damaged the Minoans, they rebuilt until invaders from Greece conquered them after the disasters. The Minoans were also skilled traders, shipbuilders, and sailors who established colonies abroad and developed a system of writing that became the alphabet.

Ancient civilizations developed early forms of fashion from basic animal skins and loincloths. In Mesopotamia, wool and linen were commonly woven into clothing starting 3000 BC. Sumerians wore wraparound skirts and fringed shawls, while Assyrians later adopted Persian-style trousers. In ancient Egypt, linen was the primary fabric and was often made transparent, as Egyptians emphasized the human body. Egyptian fashion included kilts for men and tube dresses for women. Ancient Greek styles evolved from Minoan and Mycenaean influences, featuring fitted tunics and draped fabrics for both sexes. Various materials, colors, and decorative elements were used across civilizations for different social classes
Trojan War Part 1 Werb
The Mycenaeans originated in Central Asia and invaded Greece around 2000 BCE, conquering most of the Peloponnesian Peninsula and becoming the first kings of Greece. They built palaces atop hilltops surrounded by large walls for protection. Powerful Mycenaean kings ruled from these megaron halls and gave land grants to their supporters. By 1800 BCE the Mycenaeans began trading with the Minoans, learning navigation and eventually conquering the Minoans by 1400 BCE to control Mediterranean trade routes. The Mycenaeans were fierce warriors who used their military dominance to conquer other lands.

History of agriculture.pptx
The history of agriculture is the story of how humans transformed wild plants and animals into domesticated ones for their benefit. Agriculture began independently in different parts of the world, and involved a diverse range of species. The development of agriculture about 12,000 years ago changed the way humans lived, as they switched from nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles to permanent settlements and farming
Some of the earliest crops that were domesticated include wheat, barley, peas, lentils, chickpeas, and flax in the Levant; rice, soybeans, and azuki beans in China; potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, and coca in South America; sorghum, millet, yams, and cowpeas in Africa; and teff and coffee in Ethiopia1. Some of the earliest animals that were domesticated include pigs, sheep, cattle, and camels in Mesopotamia and Turkey; llamas, alpacas, and guinea pigs in South America; and sanga cattle in North-East Africa
Agriculture has evolved over time with the development of new technologies, techniques, and practices. Some of the major milestones in agricultural history include the British agricultural revolution in the 18th century, which introduced crop rotation, selective breeding, and mechanization; the Green Revolution in the 20th century, which increased crop yields through the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, and high-yielding varieties; and the biotechnology revolution in the 21st century, which introduced genetically modified crops, precision agriculture, and vertical farming
The history of agriculture in India dates back to the Neolithic age, some 9000 years ago, when early cultivation of plants and domestication of crops and animals began in the north-western part of the subcontinent. Wheat, barley, and jujube were some of the first crops that were grown by the ancient farmers
Over time, Indian agriculture diversified and expanded to include rice, millets, pulses, cotton, sugarcane, spices, fruits, vegetables, and livestock. Indian agriculture also developed various techniques and practices such as irrigation, crop rotation, fertilization, pest control, seed selection, and storage. Indian agriculture was influenced by various factors such as geography, climate, culture, religion, trade, and politics13.
Indian agriculture underwent significant changes after independence in 1947. The government introduced various reforms and policies to improve agricultural productivity, such as land reforms, cooperative movements, agricultural research and extension, subsidies, credit facilities, minimum support prices, public distribution system, green revolution, white revolution, blue revolution, and biotechnology revolution. These initiatives helped India achieve food security, self-sufficiency, and export surplus in many agricultural commoditie

Minoan civilization
The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete between approximately 2000 BCE to 1500 BCE. They developed an advanced, centralized society with large palaces that administered outlying towns and villages. Minoan art, architecture, and technology were highly advanced for the Bronze Age. The Minoan civilization declined rapidly around 1500 BCE, possibly due to the eruption of the Thera volcano and an invasion by the Mycenaeans.
Domestication of plants
Corn was domesticated between 6,000-10,000 years ago from its wild ancestor, teosinte. Teosinte had hard shells enclosing its seeds and grew on spikes that shattered to disperse seeds, while domesticated corn develops hundreds of exposed kernels on cobs covered by husks. Archaeological and genetic evidence indicates corn was domesticated in southern Mexico. Other key domesticated grain crops discussed include rice, which originated in China around 8,200-13,500 years ago, beans which Native Americans began cultivating 7,000 BC, and wheat which has been cultivated for over 10,000 years beginning in the Middle East.

The Egyptians also had strong beliefs about preserving bodies and providing for the afterlife.
Ancient aegean civilization
The ancient Aegean civilization flourished between 3000-1100 BCE across three key regions - the Cyclades islands, the island of Crete, and mainland Greece. The Cycladic civilization was the earliest, lasting from 3000-1600 BCE, while Minoan civilization on Crete lasted from 3000-1400 BCE and was highly advanced with palaces and international trade. The Mycenaean civilization on mainland Greece lasted from 1400-1100 BCE and was known for its kings, warriors, and influence on early Greek culture. Together, these related civilizations represented a formative period in ancient Greek and European history characterized by architectural and artistic achievements as well as advanced trade networks across the Mediterranean region.
