Superb, Irena. I imagine construction at Mycenae, using those megaliths was quite the task. What amazes me most about the Ancient world's structures, is the degree of precision involved; by modern standards of building, there's is on another level altogether. How can you not be impressed - no steel gantry cranes or JCB's to carry those stones - especially over great distances. Fabulous ! Looking forward to watching Heracles' compound.

@@ancientsitesgirl If you end up going to Rhodes, a suggestion: There isn't a single video on KZfaq or anywhere I have ever seen that dedicates time and video to the potentially placement locations of the Colossus before it completely disappeared from history. Rhodes is beautiful to begin with and has a large number of ruins but there has never been a quality video which shows the actual shoreline landmass which makes it hard to understand just how large it may have been, where it may have been, and so on.

Very good movie. Amazing shots, amazing music and a nice presenter. For me, Old Mycenae is archaic beginnings of our civilization. Civilization based on Greek culture, Roman law and Christian ethics. It must be remembered that when the Mycenaean civilization flourished, the Eighteenth Dynasty (Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Tuthmosis IV, Amenhotep II, Amanhotep III and IV known as Akhenaten) and later the nineteenth dynasty (Ramesses I, Seti and Great Ramses II) reigned in Egypt. . You can see what there was a gulf in the development of construction and architecture between Mycenae and Egypt. At this time, Thebes was at its peak of heyday. This will change in later centuries. Classical Greek culture will break out and Rome will break out, and Europe will take over the world hegemony.

Greek culture, Roman law and Christian ethics do not come from Europe? Where from? The European civilization has always drawn from various sources - including Arab culture. However, today, the whole world (Arab Emirates, Mongolia, Japan, Korea, even China!) Is based on principles that derive from ancient Europe. Architecture, technologies, communication, etc.

Great content and commentary. It was a dream of mine to visit Mycenae that I consider the beginning of Greek and maybe European civilization. I remember sitting for hours in the treasury of Atreus, trying to visualize the funeral processions and put together all I had read of this bronze age civilization. You can even do some acoustic tricks in the treasury. So glad you didn't use bouzouki music. The sound fits the video. Good work.

Your walking along the Grace Circle A @06:33 reminded me of the walk down the ramp in this archeological site on the moon. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ1leNOgq5e7aGw.html If you're not familiar with this movie (2001 A Space Odyssey came out just before the first Moon landing. The technical effects were so good for that time, many thousands of people accused the film producer (Stanley Kubrick) of being hired by NASA to fake the Moon landing. In 2016 his daughter had to publicly denounced that conspiracy. You haven't lost your touch in generating the romanticism of the ancients. That's so hard to do when few historic records remain - let alone the time, money, and political restraints. BTW, The view of the Acropolis was INCREDIBLE!! I really liked it. Well, I can't wait to see your next adventure. Please be careful out there. Tourists are often targets of crime. Take Care. Cat man
