The Cycladic Civilization flourished in the Aegean Sea during the Early Bronze Age, around 3000 to 2000 BCE. It is known for its distinctive art, particularly the elegant marble figurines, often depicting human forms. The civilization primarily inhabited the Cyclades islands, which include Mykonos and Santorini, and engaged in trade with neighboring cultures. The society was organized into small, independent communities, each with its own settlements. The Cycladic people practiced agriculture, fishing, and pottery-making. Their burial practices included elaborate graves, showcasing their beliefs in the afterlife. The civilization's influence can still be seen in modern art and culture.
