Minoans Collapse• Recover from disaster in 1700 BCE• Can’t recover from earthquakes and
volcanic eruption in 1470 BCE• Probably invaded from mainland
Greece
![Page 16: Bellringer](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56816612550346895dd95ba3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• Nomads settle in Greece, borrow cultural ideas from the Minoans, and probably invade Crete• Mycenaeans –Take over Mediterranean trade–Fall to nomadic invaders around
1200 BCE
