Hi everyone. Pete here. Not the standard History Time video here as I decided to focus on one relatively obscure location to tell the story of prehistoric Greece. As far as I'm aware this is the only documentary on this fascinating site on the Internet. I am also working on a ridiculously long entire history of the Mycenaean world which should be finished at some point in the next 6 months. Until then, hope you enjoy this one. Cheers and all the best!

I've wondered about the ancient origins of every society including Egypt, Sumeria and many others. I think this format would work for many other cultures. I always find myself asking, "but what came before them?" and this really got to the heart of that question for one of the oldest and most influencial civilizations.

Very kind words. Thanks for watching 😊

It is important to note that most settlements were small farms and cottages, hamlets, all over the regions, not only populations in the cities. Most of the population would have been rural, and the cities and towns were just mere focal points of trade markets for the yield of harvest and foraging, as well as larger industrial endeavors such as quarries, and mining. Modern man is too used to measure a state in power of its cities, but in those days most of the bulk of people were scattered all about the lands. Claiming and holding their inherited properties to the best of their abilities.

You lead a legendary life, sir. Well played and, thankfully, well shared!

The pig and the horse, the two animals that represented Demeter, goddess of the grain.

Comparing Mycenean and Minoan artwork tells a lot about those civilizations... and when it comes to Aegean, and even East Mediterranean bronze, it was copper from Cyprus, and tin from the known as ''tin islands'' the British islands!.... Yes, Mr. Kelly... both of our ancestors had an old established trade network... [I'm Greek... from North Peloponnese ]

​@@HistoryTime As a lay observer I have long had the feeling that the collapse of the palace oriented culture and trade networks has more to do with climatic causes than anything else. A climate downturn leading to a series of failed harvests or the inability to support pastoral societies over a wide region could have caused migrations which then cause more migrations in a billiard ball effect. When the migrations finally hit the shores of the Mediterranean they either displaced some of the peoples there or forced them into situation where warfare in terms of raiding was more profitable than continuing as a struggling agricultural society. If there was climate disruption that caused this what type was it. A period of cooler temperatures similiar to the Little Ice Age? A period of extended drought on the Central or Western Eurasian steppes disrupting the pastoral herders living there? Something happened to disrupt the well ordered world.

We have many dormant sites like this one in Greece. Maybe it is better that way. The legends lose some of its glory when its secret is revealed...

What I love about this video is that it is full of surprises and yet shows the ancient world to still exist as though behind a veil we cannot penetrate. I am from Nafplio originally, and I lived behind the archaeological museum there, making firm friends with the archaeologists from Germany, Sweden, France and Italy, making frequent trips to Epidaurus, Tirins, Asini and Mycaene (this was in the 70s) but I did not really know about Pylos and Nicoria, never got the chance to learn, as we left Greece when I was still a young child. What I love is the enthusiasm with which folks from around the world approach Ancient Greek history and archaeology, and I am immensely proud that it can be viewed as all our history, and that it implicitly invites in all who have curiosity about the secrets contained in the rather hostile, rocky ground - digging in that earth in baking sun is not for the weak, but the very determined! I'm making a trip to Messinia soon, so I will definitely seek out what sites I can, given the short time I am there. Thanks so much for a great video, and for being a friend to Greece. 🇬🇷💙🏛️

Thanks you for this interesting video! Greece is an amazing country. So much to explore and discover. Whenever I'll get back to Greece I'll visit Nichoria.

That ad segue was so smooth

Love the video, you can tell how much thought went into it. My favorite part is the little wren you chase through the archway into the Nichorian tomb. Cracks me up for some reason.

Pete; Would you do a show on the current understanding of the timelines of the pre historic maybe even pre pottery through to roman timelines and migration patterns. This show starts off with the 2nd millennia BC but Mesopotamia and potentially the Indus valley were booming around then, while areas like Gobekli Tepe and others were pretty much long done. No one seems to put it all together in a bigger picture context for whatever reason.

What a brilliant episode, especially the Surfshark advert. I will definitely use their vpn when I go on my next odyssey... 🤣👍

Thank you Pete

Thanks! Fantastic video, Pete. 40:33 I'm pretty sure that is Moses from the Old Testament and not King Minos. The rays emanating from the forehead were a common artistic convention to depict Moses, who was, at times, depicted with small horns, as also seen on Michelangelo's Moses.
