The Internal Fragility of Minoans and Mycenaeans: Colleague Eric Cline discusses the Aegean civilizations—the Minoans of Crete and Mycenaeans of Greece—as examples of societies that failed to adapt, suffering from internal "rot" and fragility possibly due to overextended construction projects and peasant rebellions triggered by drought; their collapse was absolute, resulting in the loss of the Linear B writing system, leaving later poets like Homer to reconstruct a distant, partially mythologized Bronze Age.
