    The dates, historians give for the vedic age are complete imaginary nonsense! In the 1st chapter of the 12th book of Srimad Bhagavatam the dynasties after the war of Kurukshetra and their duration are listed. they amount to more than 4000 years. But after that in Srimad Bhagavatam 12.1.39 the future foundation of the Indus-Sarasvati Civilisation seems to be meant because: • the location fits, • the (according to archeologists) egalitarian society fits, • the secular character of the society fits (no temples and neither private nor public sides of worshipping were found), • and the found seals with religious depictions related to the Veda while no temples or places of worshipping were found which can only mean that these seals are from an earlier (vedic) era, fits the depiction of this society as post-vedic in Srimad Bhagavatam 12.1.39. But the Indus-Sarasvati Civilisation is said to have been founded roughly 3000 BC which means that the vedic era was before that time. This shows, • that the date for the creation of the Veda is nonsense, • that the date for the creation of the Srimad Bhagavatam is nonsense, • that the date of the war of Kurukshetra at about 3000 BC is nonsense (it occured according to the above earlier than 7000 BC), • and that the Aryan Invasion Theory is nonsense. Also the oral tradition of the Veda through long times is nonsense.

    Stupid timeline! In the 1st chapter of the 12th book of Srimad Bhagavatam the dynasties after the war of Kurukshetra and their Duration were listed and they amount to more than 4000 years. But after that Srimad Bhagavatam 12.1.39 seems to refer to the future foundation of the Indus-Sarasvati Civilisation, because: • the location fits, • the (according to the archeologists) egalitarian character of the society fits, • the secular character of the society fits, • and the finding of seals with religious depictions related to the Veda while no temples and neither private nor public sides of worshipping were found in the cities of this civilisation, fits the depiction of Srimad Bhagavatam 12.1.39 that this society was post-vedic because it can only mean that these seals where from an earlier (vedic) period. This civilisation is said to have been founded about 3000 BC. This shows that all the dates • relating the creation of the Vedas, • the time of the war of Kurukshetra, • and the imaginary Indian Invasion Theory • or just the composition of the Srimad Bhagavatam given by the so called science are absolute nonsense.

    The Mitanni might be the kingdom were the ancient Kurdish ancestors ruled. It's people were a mixture of Amorites and Hurrians. The Mitanni wasn't ruled by Hurrians, it was ruled by a dynasty of aryan origin that's why Mitanni rulers have Aryan names.

    Another great video! Watching it, I couldn't help but notice that the ancient mesopotamian concept of kingship is very similar in parts to the concept of God in the old testament. It wouldn't be hard to believe that these two are related in some way, since the religion of the Israelites developed around that time, with distant, all powerful kings that called themselves shepherds and benevolent, but could at a moment's notice turn genocidal when slighted. I am not saying that the God of the Israelites is an ancient mesopotamian king, but that the concept of god for the ancient Israelites was influenced by the world around them at the time. Which I think wouldn't be strange. In any case, keep up the good work man, such good content is hard to find on the internet!

    I'm pretty sure Greece relied upon Egyptian food imports to maintain its population long before the Dorian invasion or the Mycenaean collapse. So the collapse of trade networks after the see people invasions is a pretty obvious cause of the depopulation of Greece. I thought this ancient Greek reliance upon trade networks to feed its population was well known, to be honest.

    I'm very impressed with both the landscape and the stonework. I knew about the "cyclopean" stone craft of the Mycenaean culture, but but it's one thing to see a few pictures and another to walk through the ruins like this. I'm sad that we don't have ruins that show how it would have looked at the height of its glory, but I'm glad for the ruins that we do have.

    A Serb deciphered the Etruscan script. The names of Etruscan settlements, such as Polatera, Sena, Bada, Rusele, Aretium, Volsini, Volci (vuci - wolf), Kosa, Svana (Sovana), Bieda, Cera (Kera)... It is easy to transcribe them into Serbian without editing. Svetislav Bilbija deciphered the Etruscan script using the Serbian Cyrillic script. When he saw the Etruscan works in the museum, he could immediately understand what was written. The Romans and Latins inherited the complete culture, religion and skill of inherit from the Etruscans. The Etruscan art of divination based on the observation of animal livers was called Haruspicium(hara) from the word Hara or Žgara, which is the Serbian word for entrails, another name was DISCIPLINE ETRUSKA. the question arises why the Romans called the Rasenes (Rascia, part of Serbia, there is a town of Raska) Etruscans, because we know that the Rasenes called themselves Rasenes. the liver(JETRA Serbian )was also observed for daily needs, looking at the liver of small animals (chickens), I believe that the cosmos is reflected in the liver, then alive is the old Serbian diminutive (jETRUSKA) from which ETRUSKA comes later. jETRA - jETRUSKA - ETRUSKA Another proof is the footwear, thay wear opanka (opanke, Serbian footwear) on their footwear, sculptures and frescoes. Etruscan work was placed on the she-wolf being sucked by the twins later in the Renaissance, through it we approach the oldest cults of Rasena, where the wolf represents the first Etruscan. maybe now it's time to adopt: man is a wolf to man. the wolf is the progenitor of the tribe, so it originally had a completely different meaning, a kind of cult password.

There isn't much here in America (the land impermanence) that will be around in 3000 years, except perhaps the granite faces of our 4 presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt on Mt. Rushmore. In 3000 years I wonder what our descendants will think of that monument?

    I love the part where you walk outside the citadel . And we see ruins of what would have been the lower town with its outer citywall . In its hight mycenae had population of 30.000 people . 10.000 lived inside the citadel , that includes the the King (the wanax) and his court . Outside in the lower town there was population of 20.000 people . Mycenae itself covered 32 hectares /79 acres . So in bronze age the palace . The place was huge . The real reason of mycenae power , was the control of trade routes . Mycenae lay on the Trade routes between corinth and argos . This control gave mycenae dominant position in the argolid . The Kings of Tiryns , Argos and Midea was probably vasal to mycenae . Later in the arhaic and the classic age . Mycenae was only a shadow of its former selv (At that a temple of was on the site of citadel ) . Argos had become dominant citystate in argolid . But mycenae was quite done yet . Mycenae joined the coalition against the persians . Mycenean soldiers fought in battles of Thermopylae and Platea . But in 468 bce . Mycenae and Argos got into a war . A war mycenae lost . The city was sacked , plundered and razed to the ground . Also the inhabitents were expelled . Later Mycenae was rebuilt in the hellenistic age and lived in again . A greek theathre was built over the Tomb of Clytemnestra. But later during the roman times . Mycenae had again been abandoned and was nearly a ghost town when the greek traveler and geographer Pausanias visited the place in the second century . But Pausanias descripes how Mycenae had became a place of shepards . So people still lived in the area in the second century .
