The Minoans inhabited Crete from 2200-1400 BC and had a grand civilization centered around a palace at Knossos. Sir Arthur Evans discovered and excavated the ruins of this palace in the early 1900s, unearthing artifacts that provide clues about Minoan society, including beautiful frescoes, the undeciphered Linear A writing system, and figurines of bulls, axes, and snakes related to their religion. The Minoan civilization eventually collapsed around 1450 BC when mainland Greeks took over the island, and the Knossos palace was burned to the ground and looted by 1375 BC.

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.
Minoan art
The document summarizes Minoan art and architecture from the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete between 1700-1450 BC.

It was a highly advanced Bronze Age civilization that was rediscovered in the early 20th century through archaeological excavations. The Minoans built large palatial complexes that served administrative and religious functions. They engaged in extensive overseas trade and spread Minoan culture throughout the Aegean Sea. Minoan society placed great emphasis on art, architecture, and leisure activities like sports. The Minoan civilization declined around 1100 BC, possibly due to a volcanic eruption or invasion.
Roman sculpture pictures annotated
This sculpture depicts Pan, the Greek god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature, and fertility. The sculpture was made by Marcus Cossutius Cerdo, a Greek artist living in Rome in the late 1st century BC. Cerdo signed both marble sculptures of Pan, emphasizing his links to Bacchus, the god of wine. The sculptures were discovered in a villa near Rome and purchased by Sir Charles Townley in 1774. Cerdo's signature and three Roman names suggest he was a freedman of Greek origin who gained Roman citizenship.
Sir Arthur Evans and Theseus and the Minotaur
Arthur Evans was fascinated by the story of Theseus and the Minotaur from Greek mythology. He went to Crete and helped uncover the remains of an ancient Minoan civilization with large palaces containing many rooms. The Minoans were a peaceful seafaring people whose lives revolved around the sea and agriculture. Their civilization ended sometime around 2000 BC, possibly due to a large volcanic eruption on the island of Thera that caused a tsunami and famine.

Minoan civilization
This document discusses the origins and development of ancient civilizations in Europe and the Mediterranean. It provides evidence that early civilizations like Minoan Crete were Black civilizations, and that Black peoples were the original settlers of Europe. However, in the 19th century, white historians revised history to falsely portray Europeans as the indigenous peoples. The document examines archaeological, artistic and genetic evidence to show that Africa was the origin of the earliest European settlers and civilizations, contradicting the false, whitewashed history promoted by Europeans.
Mycenaean civilization
The Mycenaean civilization flourished during the period roughly between 1600 BC. It perished with the collapse of bronze age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean.
Minoans
The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete from around 2000 BCE to 1450 BCE. They had a prosperous trade-based economy and built magnificent palaces, the largest being at Knossos. The Minoans declined around 1450 BCE, possibly due to invasion from the mainland Mycenaean civilization or due to a massive volcanic eruption on the island of Thera.
Knossos minoans
The document provides information about Crete and the ancient site of Knossos from the Stone Age through Minoan times. It discusses evidence that the first settlers arrived in Crete from Asia Minor around 7000 BC and established an early settlement at Knossos. Archaeological finds at Knossos include remains of Neolithic houses, tools, pottery, and figurines. The document also summarizes debates around interpreting the function and leadership at Knossos, with some arguing it was a palace, necropolis, or temple complex, and debates around whether Minoan society was peaceful or aggressive.
Minoans
The Minoans emerged on Crete around 2100 BCE and established dominance over Crete and the eastern Mediterranean until their culture reached its height around 1500 BCE. They built elaborate palaces like the one at Knossos that featured running water, multiple stories, bathrooms, and gardens but no walls. Sir Arthur Evans began excavating Knossos in 1905 and uncovered its grand staircase and throne room. Minoan society was based around palace centers that collected tribute and traded goods. Their sophisticated culture enjoyed painting, dancing, and unusual sports like bull leaping before it began collapsing around 1450 BCE due possibly to invasion from Mycenaean Greeks or a large volcanic eruption on the island of Thera.
The Pre-Greek World
The document summarizes the Minoan civilization that dominated Crete from 2000-1400 BC. The Minoans created a safe, prosperous society with advanced plumbing and public works. They dominated trade and business in the region. Their palaces served as command centers for both commerce and culture. Though their written language has never been deciphered, Minoan culture emphasized beauty, sports, and equality. Suddenly around 1450 BC, their civilization mysteriously collapsed, with palaces abandoned overnight. The Mycenaeans then dominated mainland Greece until mysteriously disappearing themselves around 1200 BC.
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.
Minoa
Arthur Evans was interested in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur from Crete. His archaeological excavations on Crete uncovered the remains of the ancient Minoan civilization, including palaces decorated with paintings and evidence of their trade-based economy. The Minoans engaged in religious practices that featured bull imagery and a written language called Linear A, though its meaning remains unknown. Theories suggest the Minoan civilization declined due to volcanic eruptions on Thera, tsunamis, or invasion from the warlike Mycenaeans.
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.

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.
Cycladic & Modern art
This document describes an exhibition that explores how early art forms from ancient civilizations like Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, and mainland Greece influenced modern artists such as Brancusi, Picasso, Matisse, Giacometti, and Moore. The exhibition presents ancient artifacts from these civilizations alongside sculptures, paintings, drawings and photographs by modern artists in an attempt to create a dialogue between past and present. It provides examples of specific works shown, including Brancusi's "Torso of a young girl" and Picasso's "Pregnant Woman", and discusses the Cycladic civilization and their marble figurines and ceramic vases.
Minoans And Mycenaeans
The Minoans established an advanced civilization on Crete, with a large palace complex at Knossos featuring an intricate labyrinth and legendary Minotaur. Their naval power and trade declined around 1400 BC as the Mycenaeans rose on mainland Greece. The Mycenaeans went to war with Troy and their story was later told by Homer in The Iliad, describing how the Greeks defeated Troy using a large hollow wooden horse. Both civilizations eventually declined, ushering in a Dark Age of wandering and loss of skills before the Greeks re-emerged and established independent city-states, adopting the name Hellenes.
Etruscan
The document summarizes Etruscan art and culture from 1000-100 BCE in Italy. The Etruscans occupied Tuscany between Florence and Rome, living in independent city-states. They excelled at metalworking and introduced urban planning concepts to the Romans. Etruscan tombs and sarcophagi provide insight into their beliefs about the afterlife, often depicting the deceased at banquets. Their art was influenced by Greece but had distinct styles like the use of terracotta sculpture. By the 1st century BCE, Roman domination caused a decline in Etruscan civilization and artistic production.
ARTID111 Etruscan Art
The document provides an overview of Etruscan art and civilization from 1000 BCE to 100 BCE. It discusses the Etruscan cities and origins, as well as art from different periods. Key points include:
1) The Etruscans flourished in modern Tuscany, Italy for around 900 years and greatly influenced Roman art and architecture.
2) Early Etruscan art was influenced by Greek styles and featured luxurious objects incorporating Eastern motifs made from local minerals.
3) Temple architecture consisted of wood structures on stone platforms decorated with terracotta statues. Rock cut tombs resembled houses and were decorated with paintings.
4) Late Etruscan art
Aegeanart
The document summarizes Aegean art from the Bronze Age civilizations of the Cyclades islands, Minoan Crete, and Mycenaean Greece between 3000 BCE to 1000 BCE. It describes Cycladic marble sculptures, Minoan palace architecture and frescoes at sites like Knossos depicting natural scenes and rituals. Metalworking and pottery featured marine designs. Mycenaeans later dominated the region and constructed fortified citadels and beehive tombs, as described in Homer's epics. Significant artworks uncovered include the Bull Leaping fresco and Mask of Agamemnon.
Greek Art and Architecture
The Acropolis in Athens was a sacred hill dedicated to the goddess Athena that held important structures like the Parthenon. The Parthenon was designed by Pheidias and built almost perfectly out of marble with 46 surrounding pillars. Other temples in Athens included the Erechtheion, Hephaisteion, and Olympeion dedicated to various gods. Pheidias also designed statues for the Parthenon and Olympia. Greek architecture used three pillar styles - the plain Doric, spiral Ionic, and leafy Corinthian. Athenians excelled not just in architecture but also arts like sculpture decorating temples and pottery depicting everyday life that was traded widely.
Communication Training
Bobby is a 7-year-old boy with autism who is non-verbal. He becomes resistant to tasks that require sitting and has bitten his teacher, drawing blood. A functional analysis was conducted to understand the triggers and functions of Bobby's problem behavior. The analysis found his behavior is most likely in the classroom during tasks and is aimed at escaping demands or gaining attention. The behavior allows Bobby to avoid tasks and receives attention in the form of time-out.
Marketonomy - Without Customers There Is NO Business!
Marketonomy is the study of the generative marketing anatomy of a successful corporate environment. Operating a successful business involves more than providing a quality product or service. It also depends on full knowledge and acceptance of ongoing changes in industry and market trends, technology, competition and much more…and taking that knowledge to heart in developing an overall living and breathing success plan.
The Marketonomy concept demonstrates how marketing is the lifeblood of any corporation. The body represents the target market; the Strategic Plan is the “brain” of the organization driving all other aspects including product or service development, implementation and delivery. However, equally as important is the “heart” of the business, which is Marketing and Branding. Your marketing and branding efforts identify and target who, when, how and why you are in business in the first place and communicate this to your customers. Finally, the marketing tools are represented by the arteries and veins, which carry the vital marketing message throughout the body. Without Customers, there is no business!

In the end, the companions threaten the Czar with an army and force him to free Peter and allow his marriage. The tale has been passed down orally and in various written and film adaptations over time.
The mycenaeans (day 2)
Schliemann excavated the ancient Greek city of Mycenae in 1874, finding artifacts that showed a civilization thriving between 1600-1100 BC. Many artifacts were discovered in unique bee-hive shaped burial tombs filled with spoils of war. While the Mycenaeans had a written language called Linear B deciphered in the 1950s, it revealed little about their culture. Major Mycenaean influence was also found in Tiryns, Athens, Orchomenus, and Thebes. Around 1200 BC, all major Mycenaean cities were burned, likely due to warfare, and people began abandoning the cities around 1150 BC, signaling the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization.

Market Analysis - What's Your USP?
Market Analysis - What's Your USP?
If You BUILD It...Will They BUY It?
Market Research and Analysis is the cornerstone to business success! Without Customers....There Is NO Business! I liken it to being pregnant without a way to deliver! Too often entrepreneurs rely on circumstantial or surface research to make their marketing decisions only to come out on the wrong side wondering why they can not attract the customers they want…or demand the price they want for their products or services.
Market research is an exact science that aids not only in understanding what your customers want and how much they are willing to pay for it…but also what intentions may be coming down the road (predictive analysis).
Numbers are the key to success! Without research, the numbers are meaningless. Understanding the size of your market, how many potential clients are available and what your capture rate should be are critical data to have at your fingertips when planning your marketing strategy. This program introduces the types and methodologies associated with Market Research and Analyzing the data.

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.
Aegean Arts
The document summarizes several ancient civilizations in the Aegean region:
- The Cycladic civilization created small marble figurines between 3200-2000 BC that were likely used in funerary rituals.
- The Minoan civilization reached its peak around 2100 BC on Crete and is known for its elaborate palace at Knossos. Wall paintings from the palace depicted acrobatic bull leaping rituals.
- The Mycenaean civilization dominated from around 1500 BC, adopting the Minoan Linear A script and burying nobles in beehive tombs with treasures. They built citadels like Mycenae protected by monumental gates.
Knossos
The document summarizes the excavation of Knossos in Crete by British archaeologist Arthur Evans between 1900-1931. It describes how Evans discovered the ruins of the ancient Minoan civilization, named after the legendary King Minos. The document provides images and guides students through a virtual tour of the reconstructed palace at Knossos, including the throne room, queen's bathroom, and remnants of the civilization that flourished there over 4,000 years ago.
Greek Pre-History
The three major Bronze Age civilizations in the Aegean region were the Cycladic civilization based on the Cyclades islands, the Minoan civilization centered on Crete, and the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland. The Minoans built impressive palaces like Knossos with its central courtyard and frescoes, suggesting an advanced society with prominent female roles. However, Minoan culture declined around 1450 BCE while the Mycenaeans erected fortified hilltop citadels and tombs containing rich artifacts. These civilizations preceded Archaic Greece and influenced later Greek culture, architecture, and religion.
Ancient civilizations
The document discusses various ancient civilizations and their artworks. It describes cave paintings from Chauvet Cave in France from around 32,000 years ago that depict animals and were created using red ochre and black charcoal. Small stone female figurines from the Upper Paleolithic period are also mentioned. Rock shelter paintings from the Mesolithic period portrayed humans alone and in groups, in contrast to earlier cave paintings. Megalithic structures like Stonehenge from the Neolithic period are discussed. The document then covers the art of civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Aegean, Greece, Rome, and the Byzantine period.

NOTES - Module 3: Module Notes: Ancient Aegean World and Emergence of Greek Civilization
Module 3 presents two cultures of the Aegean: the Minoans of Crete, and the Mycenaean people on the Greek mainland. The rarity of written evidence from this period forces historians to rely on architectural remains and artifacts to interpret the cultures. We will do the same.
Two vibrant Aegean civilizations existed that were concurrent with Middle and New Kingdom Egypt. These were the cultures of the Minoans, based on the large island of Crete (c.1900-c.1450), and the Mycenaean people, based on today’s mainland Greece (c.1600-c.1100 BCE). These were not Greeks, but pre-Greek peoples. Very few written records survive, and so we do not have the same full picture of history here that we do for the Egyptians. Archaeological evidence, however, shows these cultures to be prosperous groups whose wealth was based on seafaring trade.
Late 19th and early 20th century digs have uncovered important citadel or palace complexes related to these groups. For the Minoans, the text concentrates on the Palace of Knossos on Crete. This labyrinthine structure included living quarters, mercantile areas, courtyards, a processional corridor, theaters and religious spaces. Surviving wall paintings have an informal, even playful quality. Pottery, an important art and export item, show painted motifs whose curling, free-floating forms derive from sea life and other nature subjects.
For the Mycenaean culture, the text concentrates on the hilltop site of Mycenae, for which this culture is named. Here, you will find massive defensive walls, evidence of palace architecture, and shaft graves which held gold funerary masks and decorative items of wealth, incorporating the same playful Minoan imagery.
In this module, you will also be introduced to the Greeks. These people migrated onto the Greek peninsula between 1200 and 1100 BCE, ending Mycenaean dominance there. History is sparce for several hundred years, but a strong Greek culture emerged around 800 BCE. We saw how important tradition and persistent conventions were to the Egyptians. The Greek culture contrasts with this traditionalism by embracing experimentation and exploration in everything from political systems, to philosophical ideas, to empirical science. Competition between the separate Greek city states helped spur on their seemingly modern notion of progress. In art, we also see experimentation and evolution of style. In this module, we can focus on pottery alone to see rapid style changes that form a traceable, linear progression. The four Greek pottery phases are Geometric, Orientalizing, Black Figure and Red Figure. Each style presents beautiful representation of Greek myths and legends, along with athletic events and secular Greek life.
Now that you have completed the module readings, please move to the next learning activity, Dissecting a Palace in Search of Minoan Culture.

Mycenaean CIVILIZATION
The document provides information on the Mycenaean civilization that flourished in ancient Greece between 1600-1100 BC. Some key details include:
- Major Mycenaean cities included Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Athens, Thebes, and Iolkos.
- The Mycenaeans built large fortified palaces centered around a great hall called a megaron. Their architecture included cyclopean stone walls and corbel vaulting techniques.
- They developed a writing system called Linear B and traded goods widely throughout the Mediterranean, leaving behind pottery as evidence. Their advanced culture was influenced by earlier Minoan Crete.

Sources of Information
for reconstructing the history of this region:
• Arabic and European Accounts: very
limited before the 19th century
• Oral traditions passed down from
generation to generation. These provide
some context and flavor with kernels of
truth woven in. Local oral traditions in
Jenne identified Jenne-jeno as the
ancestral home of its peoples
• Terracotta sculptures that began
appearing on the art market as early as
the 1970s, but little information about
their use or function (without
archaeology)
• Archaeological Investigations:
Excavations by the McIntoshes in 1977
and 1981 at the site of Jenne-jeno and
neighboring site of Hambarketolo

The Inland Niger Delta is the name given to the region in central Mali where the great Niger river
floods annually, making it an agriculturally rich region in the midst of the Sahel. Just outside the present-
day city of Jenne lies the archaeological site of Jenne-jeno, which was a multi-ethnic urban center well
before the arrival of Islam and trade across the Sahara, inhabited by 250 BC.

Methods of dating (None of them super accurate, need corroboration)
1) stratigraphy, essentially a sequence of layers that provide a relative chronology (see below)
2) radio-carbon dating of organic materials, especially wood and charcoal based on rate of decay
+/- years
3) thermoluminescence (google it) the minerals in clay store energy, and when clay is fired, the
firing “cleans” the slate and the process of storing energy renews, thus possible to approximate
the date an object was fired within a range of (hundreds) of years.

Macedonia is a strategically located Balkan state with a turbulent history dating back to Alexander the Great. It was divided during World War II but gained independence in 1991 after being a Yugoslav republic. However, weak infrastructure and economic struggles have slowed Macedonia's progress since independence.
Etruscan Arts
The Etruscans originated in what is now Tuscany, Italy, though their ancestors may have come from Asia Minor. During the Iron Age between 1000-1 BC, they established major city-states like Tarquinia, Caere, Vulci, and Veii. The Etruscans built fortified cities with temples, aqueducts, bridges, and underground family tombs. Their art was produced mostly for religious purposes and funerary customs, including painted frescoes and terra cotta sculptures that emphasized the afterlife. The Etruscans were also skilled metalworkers known for bronzework, mirrors, jewelry of gold and silver, and black pottery with incised designs.
Roman sculpture pictures annotated
This sculpture depicts Pan, the Greek god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature, and fertility. The sculpture was made by Marcus Cossutius Cerdo, a Greek artist living in Rome in the late 1st century BC. Cerdo signed both marble sculptures of Pan, who is shown as a youth with newly sprouting horns. Pan holds a jug and cup symbolizing his connection to Bacchus, the god of wine. The sculptures were originally part of a private collection in Rome before being purchased together by Sir Charles Townley in 1774.

This sculpture depicts Pan, the Greek god of the wild, with horns beginning to sprout. It was made by Marcus Cossutius Cerdo, a Greek artist living in Rome in the 1st century BC. Cerdo signed both marble statues, found in a villa near Rome, showing his Greek origin despite having a Roman name. The style suggests Cerdo made them in the later 1st century BC, when many foreign artisans lived in Italy to meet high demand for art.
The aegean civilizations (4)
The Aegean Civilizations document summarizes the Bronze Age civilizations that existed around the Aegean Sea, including the Cyclades islands, Minoan Crete, and mainland Mycenaean civilization. It describes the architecture, art, and material culture of each region. The Minoans on Crete are highlighted, with details provided on their palace complexes like Knossos, wall paintings depicting scenes like bull leaping, and pottery styles like Kamares ware. Sculpture was also produced, including small figurines and the iconic Bull Leaper bronze group. The Mycenaeans on the mainland had citadel sites and megaron halls, reflecting their war-like society organized
Ancient art
The document provides an overview of prehistoric and ancient art from various regions around the world, beginning with Paleolithic cave paintings dated to around 15,000 BCE. It then discusses the art of ancient civilizations like the Sumerians, Egyptians, Minoans, Mycenaeans, and others, focusing on materials, styles, religious and cultural influences. Major art forms included sculpture, architecture like pyramids and temples, and carved reliefs depicting rulers, gods, and important events. Styles ranged from naturalistic to highly stylized depending on the culture and time period.
