Mycenean ppt
The Mycenaean civilization flourished in ancient Greece between 1600-1100 BC, with major city-states located at Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Athens, and Thebes. The Mycenaeans built massive fortified palaces and cities featuring cyclopean stone walls, corbel vaults, and monumental sculptures like the Lion Gate at Mycenae. Within the palaces, large central halls called megarons were surrounded by storage rooms, workshops, and residential areas. The Mycenaeans engaged in extensive trade and developed the earliest form of Greek writing known as Linear B. Their advanced culture declined after 1200 BC with the collapse of Bronze Age civilization across the eastern Mediterranean.

The Minoans of Ancient Crete
The Minoans were the first Greek civilization that developed around 4000 years ago on the island of Crete. The largest and most important site from this civilization is the Bronze Age palace at Knossos, the capital of Crete. Built in 2000 BCE, the palace at Knossos housed the king and served as the center of government, business, and religious life for the Minoans according to excavations. While Greek mythology associates the palace with King Minos and the Minotaur, archaeologists found no evidence of an actual labyrinth and the legends were likely based on caves near the palace. The Minoan civilization and its palace were ultimately destroyed by mainland Greeks around 3400 years ago.
Knossos an ancient peaceful civilization
Knossos was one of the major cities of Crete and considered Europe's oldest city. It was home to a large palace dating back to around 2600 BC, during the Minoan civilization. The palace complex covered 20,000 square meters and featured multiple courtyards, painted walls and murals. The Minoans engaged in overseas trade of goods like ceramics, copper, and tin. Evidence from artwork suggests the Minoans were a peaceful society.
Knossos an ancient peaceful civilization
Knossos was one of the major cities of Crete and considered Europe's oldest city. It was home to a large palace dating back to 1900 BC that was excavated and partially restored in 1900 AD. The palace complex covered 20,000 square meters and featured multiple courtyards, varied building materials, and painted walls. The Minoan civilization that inhabited Knossos was primarily a peaceful, trade-based society from 2600-1100 BC that engaged in commerce of goods like saffron, ceramics, copper, and tin.
Chapter 4
Between 3000-1200 BC, three important civilizations flourished in the Aegean region: the Cycladic civilization on the Cyclades islands, the Minoan civilization on Crete, and the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland. The Minoans were known for their palace at Knossos on Crete, which after an earthquake was rebuilt even more grandly in the New Palace period around 1700 BC. Minoan art showed naturalistic styles and was inspired by nature, as seen in frescoes depicting plants, animals, and rituals like bull leaping. The Mycenaeans on the mainland were known for their fortified citadels and shaft graves containing gold funeral masks and other
Ancient Greece. 1º Eso
The document provides an overview of ancient Greek geography, society, and history. It describes Greece as located on the Balkan Peninsula surrounded by seas and islands. Farming was difficult due to thin soil and a dry climate. The Minoan civilization on Crete had large palaces and towns. In 2000 BC, the Mycenaeans settled in Greece and were later known for the Trojan War described in Homer's writings. Greek city-states or poleis like Sparta and Athens were the basic political units, each centered around an acropolis and agora.
Knossos
Knossos is an important archaeological site located in Crete that contains the remains of the largest Bronze Age palace on the island. The palace of Knossos served as the ceremonial and political center of the Minoan civilization. While it likely contained rooms for royal family, most of the complex was designed to serve civic, religious, and economic functions, making it more accurate to describe Knossos as a palace complex rather than just a royal residence.
Sights of Greece
The Acropolis of Athens is a rocky hill 156 meters above sea level that was inhabited as early as the 3rd millennium BC. It has the shape of a trapezoid up to 150 meters wide, accessible only from the west. The ancient theater of Epidauros in Argive, built between 340-30 BC, could hold 15,000 spectators and was renowned for its acoustics. The Delphic Oracle was the most important oracle in Ancient Greece, located at the archaeological site of Delphi on Mount Parnassus. Knossos on Crete was the largest Bronze Age archaeological site in Europe and the political center of Minoan civilization, first excavated in 1900. The Mete
Ancient Aegean Art
The document provides an overview of the three ancient Aegean cultures - the Cycladics, Minoans, and Mycenaeans. It discusses their geographic locations, time periods of prominence, and artistic achievements. The Cycladics inhabited the Cyclades Islands and produced marble figurines. The Minoan civilization was based on Crete and reached its peak around 1700-1500 BCE, evidenced by their elaborate palaces at Knossos, Phaistos, and Malia. The Minoans excelled in pottery, frescoes, and international trade. The Mycenaeans inhabited mainland Greece and were influenced by Minoan and Cycladic cultures.
Aegean
The document provides information about Cycladic art from the Cycladic Islands in the Aegean Sea. It describes distinct features of Cycladic art including small, simple female idols used for funerary purposes that ranged from 1 to 5 feet tall and had minimal facial features. A few male statues depicted musicians. The document also provides details about Minoan and Mycenaean art, including characteristics of Palace architecture and wall paintings at Knossos, distinctive features of Minoan pottery and figurines, and burial practices like beehive tombs and shaft graves.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Greek crete knossos
- 2. The palace of King Minos:Knossos.Crete By Reza Noushin~16-32187-2 AIUB
- 5. Focus Knossos, a beautiful palace established around 7,000 B.C., was designed by Dedalos and built by the Minoan Civilization. The Minoans are credited as being the first European civilization. Knossos is located in Crete, a small island near Greece. Knossos was built on a hill called Kephala. Knossos was only five and a half acres. The material Knossos was built of is called ashlar, which is a combination of concrete and stone, used as a substitute for brick.
- 10. The story of Dedalos King Minos ordered Dedalos to build a complex palace of which no one could find their way out. After it was finished, King Minos kept Dedalos as a prisoner because he didn’t want him to release the secrets of the design. As a prisoner, he made two pairs of wings for himself and his son Ikaros to fly out. Ikaros flew too close to the sun and his wings burned and he fell to the ocean and drowned.
- 13. Knossos Rooms Inside of Knossos there are corridors, a central courtyard, a throne room, large baths, enormous storage rooms, workshops, weapon storage, prison chambers and more. Outside of the palace, there are small houses, markets, fairs, workshops and more. It is estimated Knossos had approximately 1,400 rooms. There were also a lot of paintings. The walls were decorated with lots of paintings called frescos. The decorations were based on bull leaping, rituals and more. The storerooms had pithoi, large clay vases that held oil, grains, dried fish, beans and olives. Many of the items were made at the palace itself, which had grain mills, oil presses and wine presses.
- 20. Mythus The myth of the Minotaur tells that Theseus, a prince from Athens, whose father is an ancient Greek king named Aegean, reason for the name of the Greek sea (the Aegean Sea), sailed to Crete, where he was forced to fight a terrible creature called the Minotaur. The Minotaur was a half man, half bull, and was kept in the Labyrinth – a building like a maze – by the king Minos, the ruler of Crete. Before he entered the Labyrinth to fight the Minotaur, Ariadne, daughter of King Minos, gave him a ball of thread which he unwound as he went into the Labyrinth so that he could find his way back by following it. And Theseus killed the Minotaur.
- 23. Knossos Systems The palace had three liquid managements systems: one to supply clean water, one for drainage of rain water and the other for the dirty water. Knossos also had aqueducts that brought fresh water to the town and the palace. Knossos was designed to take as much natural light during the summer days as it could. The rooms on the courtyard had large and wide windows with multi- doors to receive the light. Each room had a fireplace for heating, but there is no evidence of a central heating system. They used charcoal in the fireplace.
- 27. Trade Routes The trade routes from Knossos established communications and trading from such different areas as Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Afghanistan and Scandinavia. Common goods that were traded were copper, ivory, amethyst, lapis-lazuli, carnelian, gold, amber and other important items.
- 28. Amethyst
- 29. lapis-lazuli
- 30. Carnelian
- 31. Gold
- 32. Amber
- 33. Knossos Disasters The palace of Knossos was damaged around 1700 B.C in a fire and a wall collapsed. Later it was destroyed by a major earthquake. The earthquake left Knossos shattered in pieces.
- 34. Sir Arthur Evans In the 1800s, Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist, started to rebuild some sections of Knossos. Sir Arthur Evans was born on July 8, 1851 and died on July 11, 1941. Reconstruction has continued on Knossos and today it receives about one million visitors every year.
- 35. Wind-up Whether it acted primarily as an administrative centre, a religious centre - or both, in a theocratic manner. Whether Knossos acted as the primary centre, or was on equal footing with the several other contemporary palaces that have been discovered on Crete. No fortifications or stores of weapons
- 36. Thank You
