The Parthenon of the Acropolis of Athens

Bronze Age
Excavations show that the first settlement in Ancient Greece dates from the Palaeolithic era (11,000-3,000 BC).
During the second millennium BC, Greece gave birth to the great stone and bronze civilizations: the Minoans (2600-1500 BC), the Mycenaeans (1500-1150 BC), and the Cycladic civilization.
These were the first important civilizations in Greek history but also in world history.
