Mycenaeans


     Mycenaean, a civilization that existed before the Christian religion. In ancient times, people believed in many Gods to explain the meaning of things. People would gather around the fire on some nights to talk about certain Gods or Goddesses that took care of things. Mycenaean, was one of the groups around who use to practice the same type of Christian story telling.

      Mycenaeans, would always worship some form of a woman God. They believed that women giving birth were the most important thing on Earth. They would hardly ever worship men Gods. The Mycenaeans believed in a snake God called “Mother Goddess.”She was known as the mother of all creation. According to some Minoan texts which worships the same God as Mycenaeans, the creator female God was also called "Earth Godess." She was believed to be the one who created men and women in human form. Statues of her, are made with nipple nudity and holding snakes close to her body.

      Women in the Mycenaean tribe were valued more than men. According to certain drawings, the men were never a majority of the group. The reason the men were not a majority is because some of the men were sacrificed yearly to serve the Earth Goddess and war.

      People were connected by a matrilineal society. Meaning, the women were the link to the family tree. The men did not have links to a family tree. The women would always be the one that connects a family.
