Theories about the cause of the destruction of the Mycenaean palaces
• foreign enemies (invasion from Outside the Aegean)
• social uprising (Internal Social Upheaval)
• natural catastrophe (Climatic changes)
• systems collapse (Economic factors)
• changes in the nature of warfare

“Sea Peoples”

What are we left with? Some questions to think about for the
future:
1) How stable was the Mycenaean palatial system in the
first place?
2) Were there certain “shocks” that affected the Mycenaean
palatial system as a whole?
3) Why were the palaces never rebuilt?
4) Why were large areas of the Peloponnese, including
some of the richest agricultural zones in southern
Greece, so thoroughly depopulated during the century
following the destruction of the palaces?
