The first one is easier to listen to, the second has more information but the voices are annoying IMHO. The so-called Treasury of Atreus is the finest known example of the corbelled dome, and was looted in antiquity. One would hope that an unlooted one could turn up in future, but this is what we have.

Unclear what they mean about a second wave. The Mycenaeans most assuredly reached Crete.

According to Greek myths, king Minos of Crete ruled the Mediterranean including Greece.

I imagine the second wave was Doric Greeks as opposed to the earlier Ionics. A good example of Doric Greeks was Alexander.

If Syria was attacking Turkey from behind would Greece help?

The piano music is what irritates me. Pretentious sounding. The design of the entrance reminds me of The Sowden House. I wonder if this is the site of Frank Lloyd Wright's inspiration.

But who were the Mycenaeans? They spoke an early form of Greek, as the Linear B tablets show. Greek is an Indo-European language--the ancestral language was probably spoken in the area north of the Black Sea and brought to Greece and elsewhere. But the indigenous population was not exterminated. There are many place names of pre-Greek origin which were still used in classical times (Athens, Corinth, Tiryns, Knossos, Parnassus, and many others) as well as many loan words of pre-Greek origin (labyrinthos, terebinthos, erebinthos, glossa/glotta, thalassa/thalatta, melissa, etc.). In Herodotus' time there were still a few places where "Pelasgian" speakers spoke a non-Greek language, perhaps the descendants of the earlier population.

So as far as DNA goes, the modern Greeks probably have inherited DNA from people who were in Greece in Neolithic and Early Bronze Age times before the Greek language was brought into Greece.

What gene is responsible for Greeks who are lazy?
