I have just gone through the iTunes University Yale Course on Ancient Greece taught by Professor Donald Kagan and the collapse of the Crete and Mycenae cultures was one of the turning points before the rise of Ancient Greece. This is what is great about the ongoing archeology and anthropology studies, to help flesh out the hidden areas of our past.
FYI: Prof.Kagan’s course is free and by his side comments to his class In 2009, he was not in any way a typical Yale Prof, he appears to be rather conservative!

So did they have HUMMERS back then?”
