Your doctor can break up or remove stones with a few different procedures. Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL): This works best for small or medium stones. Your doctor uses high-energy sound waves aimed from the outside of your body to break up the kidney stone into little pieces. These pieces will pass in your urine.
The Mycenaeans seem to have been a warlike people who measured their wealth by the number of weapons they owned. The Mycenaeans learned many Minoan customs and adapted Minoan ways to fit their own culture. The process by which a culture takes ideas from other cultures is known as cultural borrowing. The Mycenaeans borrowed Minoan religious beliefs. They changed Minoan art styles and pottery designs to make them more warlike. They also changed Minoan writing to match the Mycenaean language.
Mycenaean civilization was dominated by a warrior aristocracy. Around 1400 BC, the Mycenaeans extended their control to Crete, center of the Minoan civilization, and adopted a form of the Minoan script (called Linear A) to write their early form of Greek in Linear B.ot only did the Mycenaeans defeat the Minoans, but according to later Hellenic legend they twice defeated Troy, a powerful city-state that rivaled Mycenae in power. Because the only evidence for the conquests is Homer's Iliad and other texts steeped in mythology, the existence of Troy and the Trojan War is uncertain.
