(DING DING) A MESSAGE FROM THE BRONZE AGE

Lucky for us, Pete Kelly, the creator of the YouTube channel History Time (link) and co-creator of History of the Earth (link) has been surging his postings on YouTube. Kelly has a somewhat different approach to his subjects than most Western educated historians and archaeologists. For one thing, he does not start with the obsessive question, "but did it really happen?" He  doesn't reduce mythology to historical nihilism. The scientific method answers the question, how? But we need mythology to understand what it means. Kelly studied history at  undergraduate and postgraduate levels and has worked as a researcher. He also writes monthly articles on his Substack (link) and is currently researching and writing his first book. 

Aug 30, 2025 Pete Kelly: How Bronze Age Greeks Conquered The Sea.

In today's posting Pete Kelly set up shop on Rhodes to talk about the Bronze Age civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean: the Mycenaeans, the Minoans and the notorious Sea Peoples.

Probably not intentional, but Kelly throws a shining light also on today's world through the lens of the Bronze Age collapse.
