Cycladic people
The Cycladic people were the inhabitants of the Cyclades, a group of islands in the Aegean Sea, during the Early Bronze Age (approximately 3000-2000 BCE). They are known for their distinctive art, particularly the famous Cycladic figurines, which are small marble statues often depicting human figures. These artworks reflect their culture and beliefs, showcasing a focus on simplicity and abstraction.
The Cycladic civilization was primarily engaged in trade, fishing, and agriculture. They developed advanced techniques in pottery and metallurgy, contributing to their economic prosperity. The Cycladic people played a significant role in the development of Aegean culture, influencing later civilizations such as the Minoans and Mycenaeans.
