HIDDEN Ancestors who Made US: Neolithic Cyprus and the Birth of Civilization

Описание: Join the Archaeologist as we go to the UNESCO site of Choirokoitia (Khirokitia), Cyprus, and examine the Neolithic, a period of transition from cavemen to Bronze Age societies. Find out what life was like for these people who lived millennia before the dawn of written history, and what we can still say of their society from the ruins.
