Dawn of Greek Civilization, Neolithic & Early Aegean

di A.J. Carmichael (Autore)

AJ CARMICHAEL, 2025

In the wake of melting ice sheets and rising seas, the earliest peoples of the Aegean forged a world that would become the cradle of European civilization. Dawn of Greek Civilization: Neolithic & Early Aegean brings to life the dramatic transformation of scattered hunter-gatherers into settled farming communities whose mudbrick houses, obsidian blades, painted pottery, and ancestral rituals shaped the foundations of Greek culture. Through cinematic storytelling grounded in rigorous archaeology, this book unveils a forgotten era when climate, creativity, and human resilience converged to produce the first villages of Thessaly and beyond—quiet, enduring societies that sowed the seeds of identity, myth, and memory long before the rise of Minoan palaces or Mycenaean kings. Drawing on the newest discoveries in prehistoric research, Dawn of Greek Civilization: Neolithic & Early Aegean explores how early networks of exchange connected islands and mainlands, how symbolic objects and domestic rituals expressed emerging belief systems, and how generations of farming households built the cultural bedrock upon which later Greek achievements would ascend. Immersive and authoritative, this volume offers readers a rare passage into the deep past—an intimate view of the people who first claimed the land, shaped the soil, and imagined the cosmos of early Greece. For lovers of ancient history, archaeology, and the origins of civilization, this is the essential story of where Greece truly begins.
