Ancient Aegean- Are Homer's incredible stories in The Iliad and The Odyssey true? Did the lost
continent of Atlantis exist? This program explores the "prehistory" of Europe's first civilizations that
developed around the Aegean Sea, on the islands and mainland that now make up Greece. The artifacts
of the ancient culture of the Mycenaeans reveal a civilization of warriors and craftsmen. By contrast,
the ancient Minoans, named for King Minos, were artists, engineers, merchants and traders. By
following the work of archeologists, students will learn of the people and places of the Aegean that laid
the groundwork for ancient stories — and ancient history.
