**Vanished Civilisations In Greece.**
**MYCENAE THE POT THAT MELTED IN ANCIENT GREECE...** For over 3'000 years Greece has held the record of mmissing civilisations, Mycenae was the main civilisation that went missing. Mycenae use to divide two rivers, but when a storm hit in about 3000 BC the pot washed away and a rain forest grew so beautiful and bright, the rain forest looked its best when the water absorbed into the roots and they grew extreamly tall and strong. In about 1600 BC people started using it as a grave area under the trees because it was so quiet and peacful, but now notjing exist. Not even the human remains...

**Othere Greek Civilisations that went missing:**


 * 1) Mask of Gold
 * 2) The Royal Reception
 * 3) Arms of the Armour
 * 4) Chamber of Exotic Riches
 * 5) Golden Goat
 * 6) Motherly Love Monument
 * 7) Shipwreck with Gold
 * 8) A Hidden Language

__**CIvilisation Begins for Greece**__ What we take granted today is Ancient Greece. Much of what had it's roots. The obvious example for Greece was the **Olympic** **Games**. Yet another is a government system of **Democracy**. Ancient Greece was also known for their scernificant philosophy and many scientific discoveries that still exsist today. Olympic Games: A celebration to honour the God Zeus, which was first held in 776 BC in Olympia Greece.

Democracy: A form of government in which the political power lies with the people.

Zeus: Father of the Gods and King of Heaven and Earth.

Good Luck trying to get through the maze! :D Zeus managed
