Pylos - History of the City of Nestor (1600-1180 BC)

[@taybak8446]

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

[@joshjacob1530]

damn so my ancesor literally like created democracy and shieet. We wuz republicans.

[@mercianthane2503]

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

[@muffin6369]

Hey Peeps I watch "In Search of The Trojan War" presented by the GREAT GREAT GREAT Michael Wood. He also did "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great." I just watched another awesome doc Lost Cities of The Ancients 3 series one on of course those crazy Labarna (King) of the Hittites, and one on Lost City of Ramesees II about Pi-Ramesses. That one was with the great archaeologist Mnfred Biatok.

Love World of Antiquity with Dr, Miano!!!! I love it when he blasts Graham Hancock.

[@PathsUnwritten]

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.

[@talyn3932]

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

[@uselesscoffeemachine]

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.

[@Alusnovalotus]

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.

[@Salonicasoccerbattle]

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.

[@douglaskingsman2565]

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.

[@NovaSeven]

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).

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

[@jonhstonk7998]

i love the bronze age! i never knew about pylos tho i want to know more about other polis too!!

[@thodorisx8875]

Make a video about the history of arcadia!we waiting...

[@veronicalogotheti5416]

Thank you

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΖώης-ι6ψ]

Love from Athens to all who read ancient history...

[@LuciusQuinctiusCincinnatus111]

What did I use to reconstruct the battle?

[@EstateCareMV]

Hope to see more Sparta videos soon! Great work.

[@douglaskingsman2565]

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.

[@LuciusQuinctiusCincinnatus111]

This is very cooool chanal about ancient greece! Hi from russia! I am to interested by Mycennaenan civilization))))

[@Alusnovalotus]

6:42 I think that's a bit of a stretch with 50,000 -120,000 inhabitants, considering the arable land around it, the technology in sewage systems and fresh water resources there. Wouldn't older centers be even more populated than Pylos at this time? Babylon barely Passed 70,000 inhabitants and it stood a millenium before Pylos at the time.

[@LuciusQuinctiusCincinnatus111]

how to contact you?

[@jarlnils435]

Wasn't the ruler of Theben not Mykene, the one, who was called Brother by the great king of Hatti?

[@ΓιώργοςΑφθονίδης]

There are some mistakes in the map : Northern Thessaly (Magoula near modern Makryhori village), parts of Makedonia (excavations have been made in Mount Olymbos and script in Linear B in Western Makedonia) and North-eastern Aegean island of Lesvos (as well as Cyprus) where also parts of the Mycenean world. There aren't many excavations in Makedonia, but there are some evidences.

[@muffin6369]

I have fav videographers that put out better history and archaeology than ANY history channel. Here's a few.....Pete Kelly he has 2 pete kelly and history Time. He writes, produces all of it. All of these guys do it all. History with Cy, Get factual, Fall of Civilizations Paul Cooper there a ton of them and having grown up listening to the old Schweppes commercials with Alexander Scourby!!!! I got hooked on voices and presentations.

[@LuciusQuinctiusCincinnatus111]

I am subscrubed)

[@douglaskingsman2565]

The "blink" of collapse??

[@secularstones]

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]

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!

[@noble3784]

interesting. I had thought that Peleset may have come from Peleus, father of Achilles, thus the Myrmidons? But if the P-L-S sequence was found throughout Greece, perhaps it may have root in the Pelasgians. The Myrmidons were Pelasgian or part Pelasgian. Also the culture of Pylos seems different from the rest of the Achaeans insofar as they seem less warlike. No walls? More focused on trade. Perhaps they are more related to the Pre-Indo European Pelasgians and Cretans than the Achaeans. PLS, Pylos, Peleus, Peleset, Philistine.

[@secularstones]

@@noble3784 very interesting

[@henkstersmacro-world]

👍👍👍

[@LuciusQuinctiusCincinnatus111]

I made a diagram of the Mycenaean society and I am writing a Wikipedia article about the Mycenaean civilization

[@Salonicasoccerbattle]

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.

[@alexanderguesthistorical7842]

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

[@muffin6369]

The Real Big Wanax here Michael Ventries/John Chadwick deciphered Linear B. Linear A STILL no such luck.

Is more fiction than reality thanks to that existiting(!?) Homer(s).... Myths are so much loved by humans ../
