These kourotrophoi from the Griffin Warrior's tomb are positively tiny. #mycenaeans

The Pylos Combat Agate, an amazing piece of workmanship. The Griffin Warrior had a splendid collection of semiprecious seal stones, but this is the crown jewel. #mycenaeans #art

The Griffin Warrior was all about good grooming. He was buried with ear scoops, five ivory combs, and a decorated cosmetic box. #mycenaeans

What's this? The Vapheio Cup is on loan to the Getty Villa. Quite a large vessel. The Griffin Warrior was buried with a similar cup, which was crushed maybe on purpose? #mycenaeans #gold

The frescoes on display are quite a bit smaller than I expected. There was a nice variety on loan from the palace of Nestor excavations done in the 1950s. #mycenaeans #pylos

Paper thin funerary appliques from the Pylos Griffin Warrior burial. Swallows and bees. #mycenaeans #jewelry

Tiny little beads from the Pylos Griffin Warrior hoard. #jewelry #mycenaeans

I did it, I saw the Linear B priestess Eritha tablet in person. Fascinating late Bronze Age legal case! The tablet is so much smaller than I thought. #mycenaeans

If the Pylos Griffin Warrior wore any of the rings buried with him, he had smaller fingers than mine. #mycenaeans #jewelry

About 14 years ago, when I was still doing dollhouse miniatures, I had this doll made and wigged, and then proceeded to dress her as the Mykenaia. Her dress is of china silk and fine cotton. #miniatures #mycenaeans

I wrote scenes set in the cult center in Helen's Daughter and the Orestes Trilogy. #booksky #mycenaeans www.worldhistory.org/image/11754/...

The Lady of Tiryns, ink and watercolor reproduction of a Mycenaean fresco in which the lady possesses a 44DD rack. #watercolor #art #bronzeage #mycenaeans

I dressed this doll back in around 2013. She wears silk and fine cotton. I also painted the backdrop. You may have seen her on Pinterest. #dolls #art #mycenaeans

Queen Clytemnestra, watercolor painting, 2012. She looks a bit peevish. #art #mycenaeans

Raising the roof. Where are my Bronze Age folks at? #mycenaeans #bronzeage

Another good video discussing the last man standing during the #BronzeAge Collapse. Was is the #Hittites, #Troy, Homer's #Mycenaeans ? Nope. Little was spared during this period of possible Famine, Drought, Disease, War, a possible mixture of all. #History #ancients #cyprus

Ancient genomics support deep divergence between Eastern and Western Mediterranean Indo-European languages The Indo-European languages are among the most widely spoken in the world, yet their early diversification remains contentious (1-5). It is widely accepted that the spread of this language family acro...

1/ Linguistic and archaeogenetic studies have shown that the Mycenaeans were the oldest ancestors of modern Greeks. However, by reading the Mycenaean texts we discover impressive evidence regarding the continuity of Hellenism from the Late Bronze Age to the present day.

The History Files: Mycenaean Athens

Mycenaean Athens: by the sixteenth century BC the already ancient settlement of Athens was an important centre of Mycenaean civilisation, and a major fortress existed at the site.

The History Files: Mycenaeans

Mycenaeans: it is likely that #Mycenaeans descended from the #Ponticsteppe to enter #Greece between 1900-1650 BC, seemingly halting only briefly - if at all - amongst their #IndoEuropean cousins along the #Danube.

Have Wine for Breakfast, Put On a 51-Pound Suit and Get to the Battlefield Greek soldiers recreated ancient life conditions in a study to determine if the Dendra panoply, armor used by the Mycenaeans some 3,500 years ago, could stand up to combat. Study authors found it did.

They aimed their spears at wooden targets, and their chariot was connected to a treadmill motor, but for 11 hours, these elite soldiers from the Hellenic Armed Forces pretended to fight as if it was the 15th century B.C. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/s... #warfare #Mycenaeans #TheIliad
