What Happened To The The Lost Mycenaean Palace Of Nichoria? - Bronze Age Greece History Documentary

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 year. Until then, hope you enjoy this one. Cheers and all the best!

A golden age of independent scholarship and information spread !!!

Mr Pete Kelly you are outstanding and so is your content

[aresaurelian]

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.

So psyched about this. Thanks Pete. You're my favorite person on YouTube. I love how you cover so many dimensions of ancient and medieval history. Keep up the word class work.

You know this is gold when even the sponsored message is entertaining.

It's honestly ridiculous how excited I get when new HT drops

[ambassadorcartwright]

It's like Christmas when you post a new video! Thanks for all the work we appreciate it!

[MyTurkeyleg]

Your channel is hands down some of the best content available on any platform. Thank you for all you do.

Babe wake up new History Time just dropped

[rockweiler]

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

[McGiver]

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 ]

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.

For the longest, I have contemplated commenting that you have one of the best narrator's voice I've ever known. When I hear your voice, I settle myself into my cozy place, warm covers wrap my body, with just my head poking out ever enough to watch and hear the story. If it's late evening, then I am sure to drift away, peacefully into a deep sleep. I hope you enjoy this work, and realize that you have an audience that is grateful. May you be rewarded ($$$) to your satisfaction, stay well and thriving. You truly are blessed with an amazing voice!!! (And skilful movie production values!) Bravo, always.

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. 🇬🇷💙🏛️

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...

[joshpratt]

New video day!!!! Hands down more exciting than my birthday and Christmas combined!

Thanks for all your hard work Pete!

[ethanclairville]

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! ❤❤❤

The Mycenaen era is my favorite Greek era. Thank you for all of your hard work. Enjoyed. 👍🏻👍🏻😎
