The Cycladic civilization flourished in the Aegean Sea during the early Bronze Age, around 3000 to 2000 BCE. It is known for its distinctive marble figurines, often depicting human forms, which reflect the artistic style of the time. The civilization primarily inhabited the Cyclades islands, where they engaged in trade and developed a rich culture. The Cycladic people were skilled in pottery, metalwork, and weaving, contributing to their economic prosperity. They established trade networks with neighboring cultures, including the Minoans and Mycenaeans, which facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas. The decline of the Cycladic civilization is believed to be linked to natural disasters and shifts in trade routes.
