About This Challenge

The Mycenaean invasion of Crete was a pivotal event in ancient history, shaping the power dynamics of the Aegean region. To better understand this significant moment, a timeline game has been developed to challenge players to place events in their correct chronological order.

  • The Mycenaeans, a powerful civilization from mainland Greece, launched a military campaign against the Minoans of Crete.
  • The invasion led to the eventual decline of the Minoan civilization and the rise of Mycenaean dominance in the Aegean.
