Europe Series - Geostructures of Ancient Greece
For a long time, the Mycenaean civilization only existed in the "Homer Epic" with a strong mythology. For the origin, development, and dating of the Mycenaean people, more need to rely on archaeological discoveries to provide evidence. In contrast, when Athens-Sparta became the protagonist of the Greek peninsula, the development of ancient Greek civilization became much clearer. Especially after the "Hippo War" in the 5th century BC, the history of Greece also has a formal written record (the beginning of the Western Classical period). However, this also means that it is necessary for us to sort out the plate structure of the Greek peninsula from the perspective of geographical structure. Otherwise, everyone will feel at a loss when faced with the geographical labels that keep popping up behind.

European Series - The Development of Mycenaean Civilization and the Trojan War
A friend asked before, since the two rivers civilization influenced the Egyptian civilization, is there an early civilization in the “West Asia Rift Belt” where Lebanon and Israel are today, as the connecting corridor between the two? The answer is of course yes. In the Geographical Relationship Map of the Three Major Civilization Areas in Asia, Africa and Europe, the three major civilization areas of the Lianghe, Nile, and Aegean Sea circled by us point to the center of civilization in the region. Affected by them, the tribes living in the surrounding areas will also speed up the progress of civilization. When Crete and even the Greek peninsula began to accept the fire of civilization, the West Asia Rift Belt, the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Armenian Plateau, and the Iranian Plateau, which were connected to the land and the center of the two rivers and the Nile civilization, had no reason to be in a barbaric era. . The Phoenicians, Hittites, and Assyrians were influenced by this and entered the age of nations.
