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!

@20:00 Reminiscent of The Exodus Decoded, by James Cameron.
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.
Hi Pete
Cheers mate! 🍻
Brilliant and can't wait
A golden age of independent scholarship and information spread !!!
Mr Pete Kelly you are outstanding and so is your content
Shouldn’t he be called a professor or something bcz of the amount of people he has educated through this channel
Hey thanks for watching. Appreciate it
@20:00 Reminiscent of The Exodus Decoded, by James Cameron.
Seriously? Golden age? Of scholarship and information? In 2024? lmao
you think ppl ever had more access to any kind of information? :D@@j.2047
It's honestly ridiculous how excited I get when new HT drops
Thanks for watching 😊
It's like Christmas when you post a new video! Thanks for all the work we appreciate it!
Thanks for watching :) appreciate it
So psyched about this. Thanks Pete. You're my favorite person on CZcams. I love how you cover so many dimensions of ancient and medieval history. Keep up the word class work.
Wow that is high praise! Really appreciate the support
Your channel is hands down some of the best content available on any platform. Thank you for all you do.
Very kind words. Thanks for watching 😊
Babe wake up new History Time just dropped
Good old history time.
Im up im up
Yooooooo
*Immediately falls asleep after 2 mins of that soothing voice*
I literally came here to make this joke 😂
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!
Thanks for watching! Lots more archaeological adventures on the way 😊
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 ]
Absolutely fascinating isn’t it! This is actually just a sneak preview for a much longer in depth entire history of the Mycenaean world coming in a few months! Greetings from the UK
@@HistoryTime a connection between the Santorini eruption, the fall of the Minoann administration,[Santorini/ Crete] the rise of their colonies to the ''sea peoples'', and the connection with the Philistines [Peleset] perhaps?... or is it ''to sensitive'' subject to talk about?...
Certainly not too sensitive. I made a 3 hour program on the Sea Peoples I would recommend watching. The dates don’t add up with Santorini eruption. Many hundreds of years out
i always theorized that maybe the break down of the bronze age was proto-celts invading iberia that disrupted the bronze trade routes
@@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.
New video day!!!! Hands down more exciting than my birthday and Christmas combined!
Thanks for all your hard work Pete!
your kith and kin don't *like* ya much, eh? 😆 (😉)
Thanks for watching! 😊
A Pete Kelly upload and it's just been my birthday too,fantastic 👌
Happy birthday!
F'in A, Pete. I'm only minutes in and you're giving me tingles. Your voice is now so refined and... soothing honestly. Even your sponsor plug doesn't throw us off. And your music is edited much more cohesively now. You.are.killing.it! ❤❤❤
"Keep your data safe from pirates and Sea Peoples" 🤣
Omg. Missed that... Fucking hilarious and one of my fav episodes!
Thanks for watching :)
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...
Woke up to a new History Time video. It’s gonna be a great day.
Hope you enjoy!
Even the sponsorship/advertising is entertaining 👍🏼
Pete's got jokes! 😂
Haha thanks!
for the algorithm! But especially for the amazing work you do, always a pleasure being able to watch
Thanks! Please be algorithm lords
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.
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. 🇬🇷💙🏛️
The pig and the horse, the two animals that represented Demeter, goddess of the grain.
Your presentation is outstanding. I usually watch your videos multiple times!
Thank you for answering my question regarding your knowledge of these topics. I hope you plan on doing this for many years!
You're very welcome! Let me know any other questions
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.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been waiting all day for this! Cheers mate!
That ad segue was so smooth
Hi Pete, I am now incredibly baked and this is going to be such a beautifully immersive experience for me. My earbuds are in. I have delicious Samosas beside me, plus a glass of ice-cold water and a bar of chocolate. My friend, thank you for your fabulous documentaries.
Enjoy my friend!
History Time releases a new video. If THAT doesnt deserve a sip of the finest whiskey i have, then i dont know what does!
Well , when it comes to this content ......you can probably justify one or two more just because it's that's deserving ! What are you sipping ?
As Homer (Simpson) said, "Don't mind if I do!!"
Cheers!
I've been waiting to finally watch this new documentary. I love your films and I even love the way you incorporate the sponsors in the films. Thank you for your excellent work yet again.
I would give anything to walk in Mycenaean ruins...
...well, apparently aside from money, which is what is required to go there.
Curses! Financial stability!
My only weakness!
Maybe one day!
Pete, thank you. Great choice of subject matter. More importantly, your skill for putting together these documentaries is absolutely phenomenal, my friend. Your storylines are incredibly well-written. The continuity and smooth flow of your narrative style, coupled with the detail and sheer density of information you deliver places you alongside the likes of Sir Richard Attenborough, George Page, and Ken Burns, as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and great scoring. Do you do all of this on your own? WOW
Bro, your voice over that little music in the beginning gives me a fancy feeling. A feeling that something great is about to happen
Interesting as usual. Keep up the great work!
Great video, I really appreciate the time and scholarship which went into making it!
Great video once again. I also like the editing, music is more in balance. You are still growing!
A wonderful historical coverage video and effective narration about prehistoric bronze age periods of Greek cities and Myssinan culture ..those connected civilizations from black sea shores to South Greece theirs glorious civilization were notable of these ancient leftover trails ...thank you history time
Aw! This is cool! I only studied Greek history and later in school! Looking forward to your super long-o!
Young man I just love your channel I listen to them over and over you do such a great time
Way better than Netflix☮️☮️💝💝😊
Your videos are always fascinating, I usually watch them several times. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into these. The surfshark advert was the cherry on top. I can't stop giggling about keeping my data safe from online pirates and sea peoples. 👉😎👉
Thanks for another banger, Pete!
This was very interesting. Thanks for all the hard work you put making it.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your lessons. I hope I'm on your list! Thank you ❤
Oh my god, i totally missed that you made a new video, thank you Pete!
Pete i appreciate your history lessons the most of all that I've watched thank you very much
Can't beat a bit of Pete Kelly.
Great motivator and interesting content 🙂
👍
stunning vid again Pete, Thankyou.
hey
Hi PK, thanks for another great entry. Your voice recording acoustics seem great, for not having a special room with noise-attenuating materials.
I have a passion for the Bronze Age. Thanks and please keep doing these
Wow, some really cool stuff here and chalked full of great information! Damn, if only we could go back in time and fly low over these places with out them knowing. The incredible things we would see!
My dream was to be an archeologist, but my financial situation in my younger years kept me from the required learning. That said, your videos and others like it suffice to scratch that itch, and i thank you deeply for it.
Glad to see you are back
I am so happy to get to watch what is basically a documentary for free on CZcams, and such good work btw
Oh boy! A new history time episode!
Thank you.
your content as always is amazing you are the best.
thank you again.
Cheers pete, watching it right now, love it!
Glad you like it 😊
Great Work & Effort! Blessings 🎉🎉Beautifully done! 🎉🎉🎉
Great work Mr Kelly, thank you :-)
Thanks very much!
Love the smooth transition into the serf shark ad 👏🏾
Amazing work as always!
tyvm for another upload
🇨🇦😁
Thanks Pete. Great content as usual.
Its like christmas when you upload
i appreciate the work that goes into these nice job👍✌️
What a revelation ❤! Thanks a lot FROM BUCHAREST ROMANIA 🍀🤗
This should be at a million views already! Fantastic episode!
I enjoy listening to your soothing voice while I'm working on computer.
The Mycenaen era is my favorite Greek era. Thank you for all of your hard work. Enjoyed. 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Incredible isn’t it!
For me, HISTORY is the most important issue to be known by us humans... It show how humanity evolved with good & bad... Mistakes not to be forgotten in Order not to repeat them... ❤🍀🤞🤝
Awesomeness 👏👏 love this channel!
Ah yes ...... another video from you to add to my saved collection ! Thanks.
Enjoy these videos. Thanks for your hard work.
What a brilliant episode, especially the Surfshark advert.
I will definitely use their vpn when I go on my next odyssey... 🤣👍
what a long strange trip it's been la la la ...thank you. really appreciate your videos.
Love the Surfshark ad...while I chuckle to think of overloading modern tech concerns on ancient peoples, they have a point. Data has always been a valuable commodity, just expressed differently by century. I'm not a Surfshark customer, and my own data browsing consists of really exciting stuff, like archaeology shows on CZcams. I might be a modern-day Luddite. Those of you not quite so backward,. keep that in mind.
I'm going to cast this tonight for the algorithm, but watch it Sunday my only day off!
Thank you Pete excellent work❤
That was fascinating, thank you.
I love the word from our sponcer as well as the rest
My favourite time is history time, with history time!!!
gud work soldier. love these videos unequivocally. at the risk of sounding entitled, i wish the fade in fade out meditation music was a bit more varied or less overbearing, but that's legit the only gripe i have. cheers gaffa for all ya hard work
very enjoyable program, do like this subject, I have much interest in the Neolithic peoples, the early Farmer folk from Anatolia and their migrations into Europe proper, including any cultures that evolve from them thru time. Also, was very cool that the scene of the man driving, titled 1969, he was in a a 1952-53 Mercury car :) Im a Mercury nut and love those in the 50s
So excited for this
I love this channel, I feel like it’s hearing history narrated by John Snow 😂
Great video ty!
Amazing as usual ❤
Probably the best ad read I've ever heard.
best in video advert yet very amusing
Your surf shark commercial was really funny ;)
This legendary voice almost takes us there!
Amazing video thank you
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.
thank you ❤
I enjoy your documentaries.
I'm glad that I can play this at a faster than normal speed.
Love this, and btw, does anyone have an update on Linear A? I keep hoping someone finally deciphers that one.
(BTW, Just passed your name and work onto a likeminded friend, her minor is History. And you are a must-have, can’t wait to let her know!)
They've worked out a lot of the actual sounds of the words because of the way it is adopted to speak Greek (linear B) but the language is as yet unknown.
Oh the frustration! In the late 90’s when I was a grad student my prof, head of the Bronze Age dept, was SO sure Linear A was close to being deciphered - my area was actually Neoclassical France but in relative terms practically the same thing 🙄 anyway I’ve never gotten over those courses and Pete just reinstalls my curiosity, well, in everything! Thanks for the update!
I'm not an expert, so don't take that as gospel but I have read some recent papers so I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a major breakthrough yet.@@bethwilliams4903
Another excellent video! 😊
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.
Oh my gods I love the surf shark opening hahahahahs
I don't know if you got new sound equipment or if you're just extra on your game, but your voice sounds spectacular. Thanks for all your hard work!
I appreciate this comment. No new equipment but I did try to make it sound better than before with this video. Wasn’t sure if it had worked. Thanks for the nice comment. Hopefully sound quality will continue to improve in the future. Something I’m trying to work on
@@HistoryTime I think there is wayyy too much dynamic in changes of volume in sound effects between speech. It just makes this impossible to listen... compress it or do something to calm it down.
@@HistoryTime I don't understand why change the background volume at all? Its already audible under the speech... then when speech pauses You add up volume like 10-20db...
@@SoWeird66 I find it a bit unpleasant too.
Such a captivating voice and suddenly that high pitch kind of breaks the focus and the mood.
What a crazy and interesting world we live in
According to several reliable sources, it seems that Linear B was deciphered in 1952. Interestingly enough Linear A and Cretan remain undeciphered.
if you knew how, you would understand.
The great breakthrough with linear B was the realisation that the language which it records is an early form of Greek. The language of the Cretans is unfortunately still unknown.
The Sir David Attenborough of history videos!
