City states were organized.  Greek went to war with bronze helmets and armor, round shields, long spears, and short swords. The 4 government types are Monarchy, Oligarchy, Tyranny, Democracy. The communities were ruled by kings (Monarchy). Monarchy distributed power more widely among the males. Oligarchy was a group of people. Spartians conquered part of the Southern mainland ;Laconia (Pelopennesia) 500 B.C the elders took over the government. The Sparta government was the Oligarchy. Men were better than women.

Ben Tasel


We got taught be the amazing Ben tasel today.  He went over the outline with his every loud voice.  The Europeans on 4000 B.C Farming and village life spread. By 3500B.C, the rising population and wealth led to religious structures. The Barbarians had two languages Greek and Latin. They also had elite warriors and farming and village life. Europe was filled with people that spoke European languages and that were skilled in farming, metalworking, trade, and warfare. They are ever organized and had no cites. By, 2000B.C-1000A.D the barbarians hit a civilization. The barbarians hit the Greeks. The Greeks were known as western. The Aegean Encounter was between the Minoans and the Mycenaeans. 2200B.C the Minoans were civilized on the island of Crete. They got rich off the seas and trade with eastern Mediterranean lands, especially Egypt. Mycenaean Civilization made its way to the Aegean Sea, and then got closer and closer to Crete. Greek chieftains made settlements along the southern shore and on some islands as the Minoans. The Mycenaeans winnnnn! :))) Now comes the Dark Ages. Mycenaeans survived there shortly after 1200 B.C, because of the sea peoples controlling them. 1150 BC Myceneae was dropping in population and writing and journals stopped. The Dark ages were from (1150 B.C - 750 B.C). The Greeks did survive.

Notes

Stonehenge

The first European Civilization was the Greeks.  They began as one of many European barbarian people.  Barbarian means they had a distinctive way of life, based on farming and warfare, and that was widespread in Western Europe.  2000 bc they migrated toward the Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.  They used and learned advanced tools there.  The Greek civilization was between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.    They emerged as a classical civilization in 800 bc.   Over three thousand years up to the Persian Empire, civilization had spread from its Sumerian and Egyptian homelands right across southwestern Asia and northeastern Africa and other region s of civilization had also arisen in India , china and the western hemisphere.  4000 bc farming and village life had spread throughout the continent. In 3500 bc there were peoples in western Europe who were numerous and well organized enough to construct ceremonial monuments consisting of circles and rows of huge upright boulders as well as massive earthen tombs and fortifications.  Many of these megalithic structures have survived to the present day.  Megaliths are massive rough-cut stones used to construct monument and tombs.  They’re biggest achievement of early European times was the Stonehenge.  It was a huge open-air monument built by a prosperous farming and trading people on the west of England, probably as a religious center.  The final form of it was done in 2000 bc.  People started to speak languages of Indo-European origin that were the distant ancestors of Greek and Latin.  Groups of villages or farmsteads formed tribes, held together by common interests, traditions, and real or mythical ties of kinship.  Tribes would meet once in a while to constructers business and celebrate the festivals of local deities and would often build itself a massive earth and timber hilltop stronghold.  The Greeks settled in mainland Greece from about 2000 bc, coming as migrants from somewhere father north.  Between 1200 and 800 bc they spread to the islands.  Western means Situated in the west.
