Abstract: Abstract Around 1400 BC, the powerful palaces of the Mycenaean-Minoan culture such as Mycenae, Tirnys and Knossos were destroyed and abandoned, the exact cause is unknown. Around 1200 BC there was a wave of immigration of Indo-European tribes of the Ionians, Achaeans and Dorians, probably from the Balkans. It is unclear whether a second wave of destruction (around 1200 BC), caused by the so-called Sea People, is related to this.
