Kingfisher The Ancient World - The Mycenean Civilization


Kingfisher The Ancient World - The Mycenean CivilizationOnline version Kingfisher The Ancient World - The Mycenean Civilization by Vijo Gor 1 Where did the Mycenaean civilization develop? a On the mountainous mainland of Greece, in many small kingdoms and hilltop towns b On the island of Crete, where they built the Palace of Knossos c On the flat plains of Mesopotamia near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers d In the deserts of Egypt, close to the Nile Delta 2 Why were Mycenaean palaces strongly fortified? a Because earthquakes often destroyed their palaces b Because the Mycenaeans feared floods and built walls to stop the sea c Because the Mycenaeans were warriors who needed protection from attacks and to show their power d Because the Mycenaeans liked to keep animals inside the palace walls 3 What were the Mycenaean palace walls made of? a Massive stone blocks and thick defensive gates b Wooden planks covered in painted clay c Bricks made of mud and straw baked in the sun d Marble taken from the island of Paros 4 What role did the palaces play in Mycenaean society? a They were schools for scribes who copied Minoan legends b They were only used as homes for farmers and shepherds c They were centers of government, storage, religion, and craft production for the entire region d They were temples where people worshipped the snake goddess 5 What were Mycenaean rulers buried in? a Small clay jars hidden inside palace walls b Large beehive-shaped tombs called tholoi, filled with gold and precious objects c Wooden coffins placed in shallow graves near farms d Pyramids similar to those built by the Egyptians 6 What did Mycenaean farmers and traders produce or exchange? a They grew rice and tea and traded silk and spices with China b They grew wheat, barley, grapes, and olives, and traded wine and oil for metals like copper and tin c They raised camels and traded leather with African tribes d They mined silver and exported glass to Egypt 7 Which materials came from other lands through Mycenaean trade? a Iron from Africa and obsidian from Iceland b Copper from Cyprus, ivory from Syria, tin from Anatolia, and gold and alabaster from Egypt c Coal from northern Europe and marble from Italy d Silk from India, sugar from Arabia, jade from China 8 How did Mycenaean soldiers equip themselves for war? a They wore bronze body armor, carried spears and shields, and sometimes helmets made from boar tusks b They used iron armor and crossbows developed in Asia Minor c They wore linen robes and fought with wooden clubs d They fought bare-handed and painted their faces for battle 9 What legend is connected with the Mycenaeans’ wars? a The battle of Thermopylae led by Leonidas of Sparta b The founding of Athens by Theseus c The myth of the Minotaur on Crete d The Trojan War, possibly based on a real Mycenaean raid on Troy in the late 1200s BCE 10 What happened to the Mycenaean civilization by 1200 BCE? a It united with Egypt to form one vast empire b Most palaces were destroyed or abandoned, and the civilization disappeared for reasons still unknown c It moved entirely to Asia Minor to avoid famine d It turned into the Roman Republic that ruled the Mediterranean 11 Why would historians think the Mycenaeans were descended from Indo-Europeans? a Because the Mycenaeans spoke an early form of Greek, which belongs to the Indo-European language family, showing they likely descended from Indo-European migrants who entered Greece around 2000 BCE b Because the Mycenaeans lived in India and shared temples with the Aryans c Because Indo-Europeans and Mycenaeans both traded in olive oil and wine d Because Indo-Europeans were known to build palaces on islands like Crete
