[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] :o Okay getting back to the topic,... Here is Seti I [IMG]http://touregypt.net/featurestories/mummies1.jpg[/IMG] But Super is correct that Seti's skull displays features associated with Tasians and Natufians. As for Marc Washington being a "scholar", well I'll just leave that alone. Any comments about time line of Greek civilization below and its modern historiography? [list] [*]1. The cultures of Greece before the advent of Indo-European speakers are known collectively as [i]Aegean Civilizations[/i], and covers areas from mainland/peninsular Greece to the adjacent islands. Agean civilization covers the time period from its development in the Neolithic to its decline in the Bronze Age with Indo-European Hellas (Greeks) making their first appearance in the Bronze Age. Agean civilization is usually divided into 3 parts-- Minoan, corresponding to Crete; Cycladic corresponding to the Cycladic islands; and Helladic, corresponding to mainland Greece. There are a few scholars who include a 4th division-- Cypriot, which corresponds to Cyprus although it was in much latter times that Cyprus was incorporated by the Hellas. It was Aegean civilization that created the roots for later Greek civilization with everything from urbanization, writing (Linear A), to science, architecture etc. [/list] [list] [*]The period after Aegean Civilization was known as the "Dark Age" a period characterized by cultural decline and absense of written records. There were 3 main waves of Indo-European immigration to Greece. The first were the Achaeans or Akhaias whose presence was made in the middle part of the Bronze Age. Many writings from the later Classical period described these first Greeks as "men tall of stature with fair skin, fair hair, and gray eyes". The 2nd wave of Hellas were the Ionians, and after them came the Dorians. It is believed by many scholars that the Dorian "invasion" at the very end of the Bronze Age is what caused the Dark Age. [/list] [list] [*]After the "Dark Age" came the period of Greek history we are all too familiar with-- the Classical Period. It is this period this "flowering" (or rather renaissance) of Greek culture that most scholars on Greek history tend to focus on. And it seems many would have us think that Greek civilization formed in this period first, and ignore the Bronze Age only as that 'legendary age' of myth, heroes, and gods. [/list] [/QB][/QUOTE]
