I've been to a lot of ancient sites in Greece and honestly there is always some large diesel engine machinery making noise in the background 😂

One of my favorite places to be! Sometimes I take my bike and go there only for the weekends. Two hours from home!

@HistorywithCy You are welcome Cy! Peloponnese is a very beautiful place with an extended variety of landscapes. I hope you always enjoy your travels and stay here. I would also like to suggest some books that you can read about Greek prehistory. Books that can help you a lot with your videos. Unfortunately, they're written only in our language. If you're interested let me know and I can share some titles with you via email or even here.

Ahh yes the chainsaw weilding people of tiryns, i have heard many stories about their wars against trees. Thanks Cy love your channel bro!

I can imagine how frustrated Cy would be having that chainsaw go on and on when hes trying to film LOL

Cy, can I tell you a secret? I really wasn’t all that bothered about ancient cultures. I forget what video got me watching you, but your enthusiasm for the subject has infected me. The sheer joy and respect you put on teaching us what you’ve learned about literally any people or land just makes my day, and makes learning history fun! Thank you for sharing!

I've only seen it from a distance, coming back from Mycenae, great video, I miss the Peloponnese!😍

Thanks! Actually channels like yours inspired videos like this. Thanks so much for watching!

Like many, my interest in ancient civilizations in particular Greece was reinvigorated by AC Odyssey, watching this video it's amazing just how much of the natural landscape is captured in the game. To imagine standing there gazing at those walls knowing many ancient Greeks stood there like you equally in awe.

Of all the photos I took during my visit to Greece, the Western Staircase at Tyrins is my favorite. There's just some surreal about being surrounded by such an ancient structure.

Even what we see today is basically in Ruin , you can still see traces of its former glory. Must of have been an impressive sign back then.

Another precious cedar bites the dust. I am so grateful to see these sites anyway! Thanks, Cy!

I've been spending my springs in the Argolides every year for a few years now but never heard of Tyrins. Shows the unparalleled notoriety of Mycenae, I suppose. In any case, great video, now I know where I'll go when I return to the Argolides!

It's definitely worth the visit and not that far from Mycenae itself!

The Mycenaean world is too often overlooked , but you’re doing a good job of illuminating it! Any chance of some vids on warfare, armaments and tactics from middle Bronze Age Mesopotamia Hammurabi , shamsi adad, etc. Your vids on that period were excellent; this would complement them!

You are living the life of my dreams. thanks for sharing.

What struck me the most when visiting the Argolis is just how close those bronze age citadels were to each other. It gave me the feeling that those rulers would have had a lot of opportunity to meet, talk and feast together. I know the historicity of the Iliad is very much in question, but I can't help but imagine that in the war camp of the Argives, some people would have been much more familiar with eachother than the rest.

👍👍👍 Too late to watch it now but it will be first thing to do tomorrow👀

Thanks man, hope you enjoyed it. It's less of a history video, more travel I suppose.

The paintings look just like the ones on Crete .

Let's not forget that Plataiai was 479 B.C., whereas 480 was Thermopylai... Else - what a wonderful walk - I did that in 1974 when there were no chainsaws.... The walls of the Western Staircase contained some of the famous frescos.

sounds that make me crazy: chainsaws, leaf blowers, barking dogs. Good video, enjoyed the tour. thank you.

I was at Tiryns in August of 86, not as green. Less traffic noise, and zero tourists. The walls made it at least as impressive as Mycenae.

Great video as always Cy, and continued thanks for your videos.

Ahh, the dulcet tones of original Mycenian chainsaws...

Do you have video's on tower of Babel? @HistorywithCy

I love maps! I wish you had lingered and explained a bit about the maps of the site I saw glimpses of around 9:50 and 17:05. That would make the rest of the tour more interesting! Question: I know many of these sites are reconstructed. How much of Tiryns is reconstructed? It looks like the walls got some TLC.

@hanswi336

TLC - Tender Loving Care _ Thin Layer Chromatography, anybody more suggestions??

If you look carefully you can see inscribed on one of the stones: "Heracles was here. Got any labors?"

History of the Khazars part 2 please. Long over due. Or at least sources to reference.

What time of year / time of day were you visiting? Is it always this empty?

Sparse vegetation and a few trees, so it's kind of odd to see so many stones and hills and mountains and the sound of the gravel crunching as you walk... Only to hear an unseen chainsaw in the distance.

Ever hear of Alula in Saudi Arabia!?!? WOW WOW WOW!

I think that this site, like others, such as Mycenae, is of antediluvian origin, several times reused until ancient antiquity.

That's an interesting take. Why do you think that? I personally believe in the flood, so I'm honestly curious.

Seems it was Leatherface, not the Sea Peoples who wiped out Mycenaean civilization

"Mighty walled Tiryns," Homer calls it.

Looks repaired to me with orange pieces. 🙃

Please do not film chainsaws ,the peripheral megalitic stones, Tourists , nearby mountains (or tell us their names for orientation) but film what remains of the citadel and habitations ! And stop the travelings to let us see memorable or testimonial details. Thank You for this master work of mute subsisting important historical mycenean remains

Why is there no sound?

At least the Tiryns didn't have to put up with a noisy chainsaw, back in the day.

Was a lower city

Occupied since 5000 BC. What civilization/nation lived there? The Indo-Europeans expanded like 3000 BC didnt they

Which flood? If the Mediterranean Sea should have flooded the Black Sea at the Bosporus, that might have been around 6000ish B.C. and no impact on Greece. The earliest "Mycenean" walls of Tiryns were dated at about 2500 B.C. and the upper citadel was destoyed at about 1190-1180 B.C.
