Document Summary

Very few things found in cyprus, and egypt while the minoans still control crete when the mycenaeans arrive they expanded the trade routes (cyrpus, near east, egypt, italy and sicily) Cyprus the italians saw the myceneans as a civilization type reach for, much like mycenae wanted to be like egypt name literally means copper. Main source of copper of most bornze in the bronze age a crossroads of culture for the near east and greece a middle land for trade between the near east and greece. White slip (milk bowl) leaving cyprus going to greece: small hand held pottery cup, fired really well that it kinda glazes so that hot liquids doesn"t seep through. Egyptians, like cyprus, kinda tried to mimic the aeagen type of pottery: they copied the crinkled mouth of kamres ware. There is no aegean depiction of egyptians (possibly on the river fresco but we don"t know that)
