A great drinking game is to take a shot every time Professor Clark calls the Cyclopean walls of Tiryns "thick". Also, he totally knows what he is doing there when he says "thick".
Great lecture, thank you! Best Bronze Age Aegean presentation I've ever viewed. Btw, best and most convincing interpretation of the Bull Jumping Fresco too. I reckon you hit every aspect on its head in extrapolations I've never before heard. Nice one
I love your lectures! Third time's the charm, eh?! I work as an illustrator and I have them running while I lay in colours or work on line art. Thank you.
There is a 'sanctuary rhyton' found at Zakros which I personally found as my favorite item of all Minoan art. For me, it places an odd darkness underneath the decorative. Gives the Minoans almost a Wicker Man vibe. Thank you for the lectures.
Thanks for a very interesting lecture. Just wonder, The Miniature Frieze frescoes seems to point in the directions like map. The culture around the Nile is east, Crete south and Troy north. I have no clue but I'll guess Troy was influential at least some centuries and wouldn't it be logical that Mycenaean probably put pressure for their interest using their military? All these facts could have been a blessing for Akrotiri. Btw when did the Cyclades get populated? They probably gown in size when trade was expanding. I also would guess most of the men was at sea most of the time so wouldn't be strange if Minoans and other sea trading people had strong influence by woman on their culture. It's different if you work on the field and come home each night, you know.
I think fighting City states are an environment that can often lead to thriving production of art. Think about the Italian Renaissance. These cities where fighting all the time but also sponsored great artists and architects. They wanted to outmatch other cities not just on a military level but also Culture and Science. Science can help develop weapons but art can serve as propaganda, building churches can legitimize rule and war on a divine level, and showing the wealth of the city might attract merchants from far away. It is the same thing with the blossoming of art in the Classic period Maya. These city states where also constantly at each others throats.
The reconstructions at Knossos are reliable?! 😂NO, I don't think so. The so-called reconstructions at Knossos are almost entirely THE FANTASY OF ALBERT EVANS.

YOU ARE AMAZING! Working on my senior capstone for art history. Im excited to watch this.

I laughed so hard at the second gold mask
Hey they can't all be masterpieces. ;)
This was great, thanks. Third time's the charm! 👍

my vast knowledge of minecraft always comes in handy

The bull leaper story is told in the second part of ‘ the king must die ‘ by Mary Renault
So very interesting
Linear A isn’t Greek, it’s pre-Greek Minoan. If it were Greek, the experts would be able to decipher it, as with Linear B, which is Greek.
36:15 I gotta see those mini cows! lol!
As the city states seemed to be fighting most of the time, it is a wonder that they achieved anything at all.

Why would they put a fertility figurine in a grave? That just doesn’t make sense to me 🤔
Great channel, stumbled on it randomly, subscribed
Pompei is not in Crete, but near Naples in Italy!
The volume of his speech is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Very irritating!

This seems interesting, can you share some more info on that?
