The migration history of Dorian people

Many people think that Dorian migration did happen, and the place where it happened was not limited to the Balkans, but a large-scale migration in the Near East. The time should be from the middle of12nd century BC to the middle of 1 1 century BC. At this time, Mycenae civilization had been destroyed, and Dorians came to settle in the vast area near the ruins.

K Brauch questioned the Dorian invasion. He believes that Dorians came to the Balkans with other Greeks at the beginning of 2000 BC, not later. That is to say, although there has been a population movement in the Peloponnesus, it is not important for Dorians to emigrate to the south. According to his analysis, stories about Dorian immigrants appeared in the 8th and 6th centuries BC, which provided a basis for Dorian people to rule the Peloponnesus. This analysis has been praised by many people. J chadwick's viewpoint is more original. He pointed out that archaeology could not provide evidence for Dorian invasion. The custom of iron sword, long needle and cremation has existed for a long time in Greece, and it is not uncommon; Even pottery that can be identified as Dorian style has never been seen. The primitive geometric pottery and geometric pottery style were developed on the basis of the Amasenian pottery style, which had nothing to do with the "Dorian invasion". Therefore, from the archaeological point of view, Chai Deweike said that there was no Dorian invasion; However, the linear B clay tablet file proves the reality of Dorian people. He carefully studied the linear B file and came to the conclusion that there was an ancient Dorian dialect or a western Greek dialect in Greece in 1000 BC. However, the languages of Mycenae, Pailos, Knossos and other places have changed from oriental dialects to western dialects, which is by no means beyond the control of a few wealthy families in doria. The only possibility is that a considerable number of Dorians will move into this area. It is generally believed that Dorians come from northwest Greece, but there is no crisis of population decline in these areas. However, there is no special evidence of the arrival of Dorians in archaeological materials, precisely because they have already spread all over the Mycenaean-speaking areas of the Greek world. Chai Deweike's bold assumption, in his own words, is hard for him to accept. Through careful analysis and study of language, he pointed out that in Mycenae era, two dialects were popular, a few nobles spoke orthodox Mycenae, and most middle and lower people spoke primitive Dorian. A similar phenomenon can be found in Greece today. The parallelism of Mandarin, Mandarin and Vernacular is a feature of Greek language today. In fact, many countries are like this. In the Greek countries of Mycenae's time, the people who spoke the original Dorian language were the ruled at that time, and they were distributed everywhere. There are few traces of Dorian in official documents, but Mycenae is the main language. In mythology, Heracles worked hard for King Tielin, and supplemented the fact that Dorians were ruled by Mycenae. With the passage of time, people who speak Dorian gradually spread all over the Peloponnesus and developed overseas, occupying the whole island of Crete, Milos, Della and Kanniess. Chai Deweike said that when the mainland Greeks invaded Crete in the middle of15th century BC, they must have used a large number of lower-class people and promised them land. Two generations later, these Dorians gained strength and easily overthrew the original rulers. Later, when the mainland Greek world waged war on the already dangerous Mycenaean civilized country due to external factors, the Mycenaean world was in turmoil, and the nobles fled in succession. The oppressed Dorians took the opportunity to take the mobilization order of "the return of the son of Hera Criou". So the Dorians did not invade, but entered the Peloponnesus and other places.
