What do you learn about the Mycenaean society?

In Greece, They were very much into art including pottery, sculpting, painting, and architecture. And they had tombs. The Mycenaeans lived during the late Bronze Age in Greece, from about 1600 to 1200 B.C. They are called Mycenaeans after their capital at Mycenae. The period in which they lived (Mycenaean), in ceramic terms is known as the Late Helladic period. We don't know what happened to the Minoans in Crete, but they seem to have been taken over by the Mycenaeans from the Greek mainland, because after 1500 a new writing dominated Cretan records, Linear B, the language of the Mycenaeans. We know little about the Mycenaeans except from archaeological remains and Homer's epics, in which the Mycenaeans fought against Troy. Among other areas of ignorance, we do not know whether it was the Dorian invasion, natural catastrophes, or something else that ended the Mycenaean civilization, but whatever it was, the end of the Mycenaeans ushered in a "Dark Age" in Greece.


Did ancient Greeks have guns?

Honey, the ancient Greeks were too busy sculpting marble and debating philosophy to worry about guns. Guns didn't come around until the 9th century, long after the Greeks were strutting their stuff in togas. So, no, the ancient Greeks did not have guns, but they did have plenty of drama and mythology to keep them entertained.
