These are awesome. Not Greek but I love ancient History, especially Egyptian, Cretan, and Mycenean material. Took a course in Ancient Greek History in the 1960s in College but a good part of this is new to me. I also had 4 years of Ancient Greek. Wanted to read the Iliad in the original. It's awesome. Wish I had kept up with the language.

Love the maps, this is a great video!

I'm a Greek with great knowledge of the these stuff and I really appreciate your work! I just want to mension that the Minoans are also Greeks - DNA tests of skeletons from tubes from Mycenians and Minoans people, showed that their DNA was completely matching, approximately 70%.Yet, in Greek mythology the Minoans are also mentioned many times, and not discriminating them from the Mainland Greeks as a different barbarian tribe

Absolutely underrated channel. You make an amazingly good effort at blending prehistory and legend together into a very good reconstruction of Bronze Age Greece. I wish, I'd find your channel earlier, when my mind was sharper (just 2-5 years ago), because this is the kind of stuff I'd love to do if I could make videos.

What wonderful videos you are sharing with us. Love it! The history, dates and visuals, maps gives a sense of progression and development in the region! Historymaking sense! Thank you.

What is to Say, except for my congratulations... One of the Best ever ( short) video about Ancient "Greece" , or better Say Aheeians... Best regards from Bucarest ROMANIA 🍀🤗🍀

I like how the narrator speaks

Wow! This is awesome, can`t wait for the next video.

Great video, keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed this video. Nice work.

Amazing detailed history! Very interesting and enjoyable! Thank you.

Excellent,fascinating!Thank you!!!

Wicked awesome. Full of interesting information. Thanks

Man, Great Video ! I would love to see you tackle The Sea Peoples and the broader Bronze Age Collapse.

I'm loving these videos! Could you link your sources in the description also? What books, journal articles, and websites did you use to make these videos? I'd love to dive further into the topic on my own

I thoroughly enjoyed this informative video.

Discovered this channel now very interesting friend i just subscribed now!

It's been awhile since I saw content about early helenic history. Great job!

Great stuff! I hope you cover the royal lineage of the Athenians

I like it how you, instead of impulsively claiming that the greeks somehow completely forgot their past as many "scholars" claim, check whether the myths have evidence or not.

Amazing job

Wonderful presentation. 👍 Friendly greetings from Greece.

incredible that we can trace these kings from 1700BC !~

Can you do a video about the Heracleidae?

Happy new year. 🥳

Oh wanax, the original greek word for king of kings

What sources do we have for Bronze Age Greece?

There seems to be two Sparta's ,the expansionist proto Imperial Sparta of Agamemnon,and The Sparta founded Lycurgus, The Law giver,which became More introspective,also I Need to understand who or what were The Dorians, and their links to Hercules???,plus were they of the same origin as the Macedonians?

I like you putting cliff from assassin creed odyssey☕

Thank you so much for this video you shed light on things I didn’t know before. I knew the Hyksos were in Egypt and the mythological Greek Olympian line of demigods begins with Europa and then Io going to Egypt after leaving Crete Atlantis and Zeus then Apis and Memphis, then like Libya, Belus and Agenor, etc… that’s the most confusing part about Egypt, because it Hass to be the Egyptian Atlantis, when the Minoans were still the dominant country. Did you know that Caphtor of Crete is Hephaestus? Apparently his forge was in Memphis Egypt. Egypt is where the Nereids were born the children of Nereus the old man of the sea, who was even in the Iliad. Aphrodite was supposed to be a Nereid. Thetis mother of Achilles is a Nereid that makes Nereus the grandfather of Achilles. I didn’t know Io was a priestess in a princess of Argos

Was Argos the one eyed giant, who protected Io? Or is Argos just a name for the Argives?

Hey,whats abaut Tantalos and Pelops.They came from Paphlagonia in Asia,probably fleeing from expanding Hittite Empire and establisht themself as rulers of Mycine.Pelops conqert the whole Penninsula which was called then the Pelopsisland aka Peloponesos.Coming from Ahisia,Asia,they were called Achijava,giving the Names to the Greeks of their Time.from that came the later Names of Achaeens and Yavanna,aka Ionian.I am missing the Connection in your Artikles although I like them a lot.The heritage of importent Dynastys in early Greece from Anatolya can explain their constant fiendship,open or hidden with the Hittes also.please answer me.

So, lets clear one thing up. Achaeans was not their name. Nor Mycenaeans. Achaeans is the englification of the greek word Αρχαιοί(Akhae-ee), which is a modern term. Modern day archeologists named them like that because later greeks (of the classical and hellenistic age) called them -ancients- relative to them. So Alexander and Pericles are considered ancient greeks relative to us greeks today, but they considered agamemnon and atreas ancient. In greek ancients is αρχαίοι(arkhae-ee) and by changing the name by removing the "r", modern ppl named them Achaeans so they can understand each other while communicating.. This is very important. Because by naming them achaeans, one might get confused and think they were not greeks or that they didnt consider themselfs the same breed/kind. They called each other by the place they grew up (exp. Thessalian, Cretan) but they knew they were one fraction. So all their wars are civil wars. All in all, when modern greeks say Ancient greeks they mean greeks in the era ofthe Minoans, of Agamemnon, of Miltiades to Alexander and to Constantine the great. But, Miltiades considered ancient the greeks of Agamemnons era.

Naplion the FIRST capital of Newly independent Greece back into 1829... For just few years ...

The name Pelasgian means something like people of the sea, I sometimes wonder if they were called this from a distant memory of The Sea Peoples. Of course, we know that Indo-European migrants or conquerors brought the early Hellenic language to those who lived in Greece, sometime before 3,000 BCE. I think the question is: to what degree did the IE speakers displace or kill the previous population in Greece, particularly the males as they did in other places, probably the Pelasgians? There is remarkable continuity of DNA from Minoan and Mykenean era peoples with the current population of Greece, including on Crete. Except for one small population (The Mani) in the Peloponnese, there is no later Slavic genetic signature in Greece, unlike in most of the Balkan region. The ancient Greeks said others were Greek if they shared the same: “blood, Gods and language”. Ancient Macedonia was Hellenized by its Greek Royal Dynasties, especially under Philip II and Alexander, but its population was almost entirely replaced by later Slavic migrants, there is little Greek DNA there now.

Great, as always. But, please pronounce Greek names the Greek way. For one thing, C is always pronounced K (the Romans rewrote Greek names according to their preference, of which one was using C for the K sound). Mykenae is said Mi-KEE-nay, and Mykeneans is Mi-KEE-ne-ans. The shift of using C for S sounds in certain cases didn’t happen in Latin until much later and is something English got from the French. Other common inaccuracies are the Latin endings -um for the Greek -on and the Latin -us for the Greek -os.

Crete has more history than the whole Europe combined

Mycenaeans are oldest people even from Cycladic civilization .. we have 2 writes from 5200 bce who belongs to Mycenaeans and its in Theshaly .. unfortunatly for you Mycenaeans is the GREEKS with Greek and Latin write ..they existed at Theshaly before from 5200 bce .. so we think that in Argos maybe we have ancient Mycenaeans writes before 10000 bce .. we will search in Argos cause Theshaly people and Macedonians was from Argos and was Mycenaeans ,, Mycenaeans had nation before Cycladic civilization

"Timeo Danaos" ...refering to that legendara horse gave as a gift to Trojans by " Danaos" or Aheeians... They said term Danaos came from Egypt... Anyway Greek is the name gave by Romans...

Agenor= He who knew his time or fate or future

Achaean=The ones at the borderline or aside ones

Lakoni= the tricky ones

You can still see the Pelasgian face on the streets of Athens they are petite long face and long narrow heads,

That archway you always show with the lions is from hittite capital.

Agamemnon/Hakamenon=he thinks of revenge or moral or brainy one

Triopas=the rider

Inachos= The tall one

Criasos= head of or the leading one

Today Malta greece israel turkey Albania Macedonia and surely Italy corsica all those countries have mycenean antiquity

Heraion= our windy one

Mycenae= we are from stars

Vinca is the oldest

Apis= the giver

Pelasgos= the gigant

Schyon= the torn one

Hi wanax. I have a recomendation as a spanish speaker (i'm from Uruguay). I see your video titles are suggested to me in spanish. Idont think that works. No one from a spanish speaking country would watch a video in English based on their generated subtitles. Either You understand English or not. The spanish title may bring some people to the videos that Will clic but then leave as soon as they SEE it's in English. Most of native speakers that watch your videos just know English and consume content in english and prefer to have titles in English for the videos they consume un English. Love your content

Achaia or Achaea weren't the Mycenaean's,,, the Achaeans used iron swords round sheilds long before the Mycenaean did,,, but they were alias!

Midea= the great one

These Polises are both bless & curse of Greece...

Argoi=Golden mouth

Dendra= fallen on the ground

Telchis= The wired one

Lerna= Us born

voice over needs working on.

New genetic study done by Dr. Iosif Lazaridis from Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts showed that the Achaeans were present only 4-16% of Mycenaean population while Early European Farmers who originate in Asia Minor dominated 62-86% of the people who created Mycenaean civilization!!! They were not the Achaeans from the Steppe they came from Asia Minor and the Fertile Crescent HUGE DIFFERENCE they were not Indo-Europeans, which was clear before if you checked their artworks and symblogy they have used.

It’s interesting that the Greeks referred to Macedonians as barbarians, isn’t that only reserved for non Hellenic’s? So maybe the original Macedonians were Hellenized Slavs??

Asine= cant enter

It is very disingenuous to present as history, myth, and to gloss over the huge debates about this period to present a single narrative.

Pelasgians where not greeks?

Love the video, but the culture of Malta might actually pre-date Mycenaean Greece….might😎

Trochylas=The protector
