The roots of ancient Greece stretch back to a mythical time. The first episode of our five-part series follows in their footsteps. In the 2nd millennium BC, the Minoans and Mycenaeans rose to become the first advanced civilizations in Europe. Researchers have shown that the Bronze Age inhabitants of the Aegean had more in common with the ancient Greeks than had long been assumed.
