Mycenaean story is always welcome and appreciated. Bronze age Greece is full mysteries.

Wow! I did not know that Nestor's descendants continued on as Athenian nobility. Thanks for all this great information.

Sandy Pylos.... Somewhere scrawled into the plaster "Telemachus was here"

I visited the Palace of Nestor last week. It's a significant distance from the modern city of Pylos, where the ancient city would have presumably been. This seems a little odd considering most other Mycenaean cities had their palaces in walled acropoli at the heart of the city.

Pylos was ancient, its possible it was built before they adopted that convention?

@uselesscoffeemachine5832 2 жыл бұрын

Pylos was not in any danger before the Dorians and Sea Peoples, so the palace did not have to be in a location where it could be defended, but its odd from the administrative perspective.

Seems Mycenaean culture didn’t have that strong an impact on this region like it did in the east. From what I’ve read, they seem to have copied Minoan Crete more. Especially now that we know they copied the Minoan alphabet, sea faring trade and that there was much more literary evidence at Pylos than anywhere else in mainland Greece.

The ancient city was near the palace,the site was abandoned after the palaces ruined in 1180BC. Modern city was inhabited later. Mykenai also was abandoned after the destruction of the city around the same time.

I don't follow. Pylos probably had an akropolis with a palace. Just because modern Pylos was built further away means nothing. Ancient Mycenae is distinct from the current village of Mykenai too.

I enjoyed this video, but there are a couple small mistakes on the map (2:36): the (modern) settlement near Pylos is called “Iklaina” not “Iklania.” Also, Pylos (“Palace of Nestor”) is about 2.5 miles NW of Iklaina, but on the map it is located to the SW at the coastal site that Iron Age Greeks called Cape Coryphasium [Koryphasion] (see Thucydides 4.3), which lies across the bay from the modern city called Pilos (Navarino).

@douglaskingsman2565 Жыл бұрын

Sparta is so overdone. It was not important as a city-state in the Mycenaean Age. Lakonia itself was the real home of Tynareos and Menelaos.

Consider this progression: Pylos -> Peleset -> Philistine Could it be that the Peleset who attacked Egypt at the close of the bronze age were in fact the people of Pylos?

@talyn3932 2 жыл бұрын

I think they are pretty sure that the Peleset were from Crete. Pele was a common sound in a lot of people in the region, Peleponese, Pelasgian, etc... Cool idea though!

@alexanderguesthistorical7842 Ай бұрын

My thoughts are; Pelasgians=descendants of the neolithic people. The name coming from Pylos. Peleset ('Sea Peoples') = those from the kingdom of Pylos.

I love this kind of videos but there are many mistakes in this one. For example the griffin warrior grave was not a tholos. And it is dated ca 1450 BC.
