I have always been intrigued by Mycenae and Crete. They were active during and before the Trojan war.

Part of their decline may have been because of invasion by Doric Greeks (Spartans) and other similar people.

Might?! Is this sh*t passing for science these days?

I call BS.

The Mycenaean civilization largely ended due to the super volcano explosion of Thera/Santorini.
