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.
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. 🇬🇷💙🏛️
So psyched about this. Thanks Pete. You're my favorite person on UA-cam. I love how you cover so many dimensions of ancient and medieval history. Keep up the word class work.
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.
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.
I'm nominating Pete to take over for Morgan Freeman when he calls it quits as the go-to narrator for every good documentary in the future. Seriously, I don't even read the titles of y'all's videos anymore, the superb research and effort y'all put into every video has all but guaranteed it doesn't matter the topic, I'm always blown away and learn something new. Always looking forward to the next one!
It s sad that archaeological research in our country is not highly funded, as it should be. Greek archaeologists are not pleased, neither are we, history lovers. The whole of Hellas is one living museum, we still have a lot to learn.
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! ❤❤❤
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!
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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.
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
Congratulations, excellent video. Having lived in Koroni for 13 years, this is the first time I have heard of Nichoria, despite being a Mycenaean obsessive. I thought I had been to all the excavations, but not this one and it's not far from me. I have discovered a few Tholos tombs between Pylos and Nestor's Palace, usually in the middle of an olive grove and minutely marked on the road. I will be visiting Nechoria before the heat of the summer. Many thanks for your hard work.
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
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. 👉😎👉
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!
I've got a thing about Mycenaean Greece, since studying it for my Classical Civilization A Level. In my head I lived in their world. This is excellent ❤
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.
BRAVO, BRAVO. 👏👏👏👏👏👏😄 Another spectacular film of historical digs by archeologist uncovering many clay tablets brightly illuminating everyday life etched in cuniform language correcting or adding to our knowledge and understanding of real history. This is what Indian Jones, movies lacked.!!
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...
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
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!
A nice documentary. Thanks. I only found you recently, subscribed and now, when I have time, I watch your videos. Could you please tell me what is this at 42:33 and where can it be seen? I love that design, it is so beautiful and intricate.
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
Thank you for the interesting video about an ancient Mycenaean Greek site. I like how you link the story for this particular site with others to give a better picture of that particular time.
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.
Thank you for your work. I'm about to search your playlists to see if you have done anything on the Phaistos Disc. I bought a replica of it about 40 years ago while traveling in Greece and it's mesmerized me ever since. I pretend it was a game. 😂
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
Hi, Pete fascinating video near my home town (Kalamata). If you visit south Greece again pls contact me. Btw I suggest Mt Lykaion for a future video. George

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.
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
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.

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...
It s sad that archaeological research in our country is not highly funded, as it should be. Greek archaeologists are not pleased, neither are we, history lovers. The whole of Hellas is one living museum, we still have a lot to learn.

Lived for 10 years in Methoni and had never heard of Nikoria. Will need to plan a day trip there, one day! Thank you!!!
