The amber route

The amber route ran through central Europe, and along it arose some more advanced barbarian cultures each lead by a war-chief. It is possible that these cultures imported artifacts from Mycenae - for example a bronze helmet from Brandenburg looks like a Mycenaean design. Egyptian blue faience has been discovered as far afield as Wessex. The Mycenaean emblem of an axe and dagger has been found carved into one of the Stonehenge stones, though it is now disputed whether this was carved directly as a result of contact with Mycenae. It is likely that Mycenae and Crete enjoyed close diplomatic and trade relations. The settlement at Melos (called Plylakopi III) shows Cretan and mainland influences and was probably an important trading post between Mycenae and Crete
