The Lost Palace Of Nichoria - A Bronze Age Mystery // Ancient 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 6 months. 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Thanks for all your hard work Pete!

That ad segue was so smooth

Babe wake up new History Time just dropped

for the algorithm! But especially for the amazing work you do, always a pleasure being able to watch

A Pete Kelly upload and it's just been my birthday too,fantastic 👌

Hi Pete, I am now incredibly baked and this is going to be such a beautifully immersive experience for me. My earbuds are in. I have delicious Samosas beside me, plus a glass of ice-cold water and a bar of chocolate. My friend, thank you for your fabulous documentaries.

Even the sponsorship/advertising is entertaining 👍🏼

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

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 ]

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. 🇬🇷💙🏛️

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! ❤❤❤
