Ancient Greek DNA Minoans and Mycenaeans - Archaeological Science Ep 17

Описание: Over a thousand years before the Classical Greek states flourished, the Aegean witnessed the rise of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. Known for their palaces and elaborate frescoes, the people behind the rise of these civilizations had long been a matter of debate - that is, until ancient DNA. Who were the Minoans and Mycenaeans? Where did their ancestors come from? Are they related to the Greeks today? I answer all these questions - and more - in this episode. #archaeology #dna #ancientdna #archaeological #ancientdiscoveries #history #science #crashcourse #ancient #greece #greek #greekhistory #civilization #minoan #minoancivilization #knossos #mycenaean #crete #bronzeage
