With the exit of the "Sea People", the Eurasian invaders are now in a quandary. They have taken it, but they don't know how to use it, or how to maintain it. After all, they are still illiterate nomads. There follows a period known as the Greek "Dark Ages" - the conventional time-frame for this period is from 1,200 to 900 B.C. The Eurasians seemed to have used this three hundred years well. By the end of this period, they seem to have figured things out, and have continued their expansion.

| Note: It is said that the Greek Dark Ages were a time of Ionian settlement; and a consolidation into an alliance called the Ionian League. It is also said that the Archaic Period of Greece began with a sudden and brilliant flash of art and philosophy on the coast of Anatolia. And that the first Greek science was devised by the Milesian School of philosophy: (Miletus was an ancient city on the western coast of Anatolia, that after being sacked by the Anatolian Carians, was later resettled extensively by the Ionian Greeks - about 1000 B.C.). If that is true, then much of the science and knowledge of the original Black Greek civilization, must have been destroyed by the wars of the White invasion, and was subsequently learned by Whites in Anatolia, from the Blacks there - who had a similarly advanced Black civilization - and then re-introduced into Greece by the White Greeks from Anatolia. |

Soon the Eurasian's have taken control of Italy, Greece, and the Aegean Islands. Now they must fight amongst themselves for control of the wealth, power, and territory that they have taken from the ancients. Out of this fray, emerges Alexander of Macedon.
Alexander the Great's father Philip, was the brother of King Perdiccas III of Macedon, which is in northern Greece. In 359 B.C, King Perdiccas died. His young son Amyntas was expected to succeed him, with his uncle Philip as his regent, but Philip usurped his nephew's throne, making himself King Philip II. He proved to be a strong ruler, and in a few decades he conquered most of Greece.
Philip's wife was Olympias, daughter of King "Neoptolemus I" of Epirus, in modern Albania. Their son Alexander was born in 356 B.C. Alexander also had a younger sister, Cleopatra (not the famous Greek queen of Egypt). Alexander and his father, did not get along well at all, Philip often made fun of him because he had a high voice. When Philip was stabbed and killed by his male lover, Alexander ascended to the throne. He then went on to conquer many lands, and established an Empire, greater than all others before him.
The wealth, culture and technology, that is acquired from the conquered civilizations, will be absorbed by the Greeks to form, what is commonly called the "classical Greek culture". This culture will later be absorbed by the next great White European civilization, The Romans.
