The Bronze Age in Paradise: The Early Societies of the Cyclades (Early Cycladic Culture)

This is great content. The Mueseum of Cycladic Art in Athens is small but incredibly interesting musuem featuring artifacts from the Cyclades islands. It was one of my favorite museums on my 2008 trip to Greece.

Heh. I remember the first time I studied these art pieces... I always thought it was interesting how artstyles almost feel "cyclical", as in, the earliest artwork were very abstract and stylised, but as time went on various cultures strove to make art increasongly more realistic, only to then decide to move "backward" after being exposes by artworks such as these. It's really cool

Ahh my days made. A new video from one of the best youtubers out there.

History with Cy is the best! Always a fun and fascinating journey into the history of us all. Great work as always!

I love learning about lesser known cultures. Keep up the good work!

Very Good video. once again you tell history as it its without all the natiolastic tendencies sarounding the Greek and Cypriot education system brought us. thank you for telling such stories

History with Cy always teaches me more about things to which textbooks dedicated a single cryptic line. Thanks for the great work, I'm so glad people are subbing to the patreon to support the channel, I can't afford yt premium and patreon😢

I absolutely love your channel. I never really comment but I watch many episodes several times to truly absorb the information, you make history interesting and vibrant. Thank you so much for your dedication to such excellent content!

My best guess is that the earliest bronze age was the period when the individuals who inspired the classical myths were walking the earth and doing remarkable things....guys like Herakles and Hyperion. Their stories got embellished and misremembered over the centuries until they were part of a religious hierarchy of gods. I also believe that this can be said of the events depicted in The Mahabharrata, and that is all that remains to us from the earliest bronze age in both regions. A shadowy glimpse of a long forgotten age.... That's why I dig history in all of it's disciplines, it answers the questions that it can.

Great video!! Extremely informative and interesting

Underrated period of history.

As technology progressed and traveling and trading by sea became easier, their distinctive cultural features became less prominent and they were gradually assimilated to the general Hellenic culture.
