Nice views! How cold was it? Also, you ever what daily life was like back when that place was thriving?

It was SO cold. It was lightly snowing when I was there, so low 30s. Daily life seemed lux to me. Mycenae was ruled by a king and was a military stronghold during its time. It had a population of 30,000 in its prime and was organized in a feudal system where craftsmen created luxury goods like weapons, tools, jewelry, vases and more. These were mostly like used for trade. Because it was set on a hilltop, it was geographically an excellent defensive positioning with good farmland and water supply. To me, this life seemed good for the upper class, but for lower class like slaves, probably not the greatest. Definitely a thriving city until its downfall.

@@hichasingcrystal Wow, pretty dauntless of you to ride in those temps. Something you'll never forget. I know I never will. Amazing place though. 30K people was massively huge for the time, must have thrived.
