Overview
This module offers a broad understanding of the high cultures of the Mediterranean and European Bronze Ages and Early Iron Ages. Thematically it covers the Bronze Age "Age of Empires" focused on the palace-based cultures of the eastern Mediterranean (including the Egypt of the Pharaohs, the Hittites, the Minoans and Mycenaeans, and the Trojan War). It also covers the dramatic crises which brought about the end of the Mediterranean Bronze Age. This was followed by the Early Iron Age, during which Greek culture colonised itself throughout the Mediterranean, and brought about the recovery of complex civilisation which contributed to the origins of Europe. Overall this "Age of Migrations" also had effects in Central Europe and ultimately contributed to the rise of the Celtic cultures which spread through Iron Age Europe to Britain and Ireland.
