    Default 17th century BC Mycenaean palace discovered just outside Sparta

    This is a good find! The inscriptions are in Linear B and the items at the site have been dated by archaeologists to the 17th century BC. This was a somewhat small palace, perhaps, compared to the later, more grandiose Mycenaean sites, like the namesake site Mycenae. This is very encouraging news and I hope more Mycenaean sites are unearthed so we can fully gauge the spread and level of development from the earliest phase of their civilization onward. The 17th century BC is basically when one could say the civilization truly began, correct?

    There is already a thread on the same subject. This one has been merged into it. Locked.

    I can heartily recommend the Italian Wars mod by Aneirin.
