although one can't describe a whole culture in a paragraph....
Date: circa 1600 - 1050 BC.
Location: mainly Southern Greece (recently archaeological finds extend the borders well into modern-day northern greece), the Aegean, Crete, Cyprus.
Significance: The first (testified) Greek civilisation. The decipherment of the mycenaean script (known as Linear B) proved that they spoke and wrote a form of Greek.
A number of citadel-palaces were the centres of control (Mycenae being the most famous - giving its name to the whole culture). It was a warrior society which influenced later generations and gave birth to the mythical age of Greece (the Iliad, The Odyssey and other mythological cycles).
