In this activity, students will examine how the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations laid the groundwork for ancient Greek culture, exploring how each society organised itself, traded across the Mediterranean, and developed writing and religion. They will also consider how the collapse of both civilisations led to a period of decline, and how the cultural achievements of these ancient peoples continued to influence the classical Greek world that followed.

It has 9 questions for students to answer, as well as a paragraph response section for them to demonstrate their understanding of the topic.
