Around 3000 B.C., Thebes was first inhabited. Did you know that Thebes is also the same as “Kameia”. From 2500 B.C. there is evidence of food, wool production, and storage. For example: grinding stones, and terracotta loom, weights and spools, and bronze carpentry tools. Trade, for both local and further afield is suggested by the presence of precious goods. Some precious goods are gold, silver, ivory, and more.
From 2000 B.C. the site expanded with the first presence of stone cists, pits for burials, and shaft graves, which contained precious objects/goods. Following the Dark Ages in Greece,(1100 to 700 B.C), Thebes re-emerged as an influential Greek city-state, and for the next four centuries the city would be a constant rivalry with“Athens”&“Sparta”
