classical Greece didn’t just come out of
nowhere if you really want to understand
where the Greece of Athens the Greece of
the Acropolis came from you need to look
way back in the past you need to look
several thousand years back in past at
places like this
this is a la pocha / cave on southern
Greece’s money peninsula a cave used by
some of the earliest farmers in Europe
it is a very important site it’s there
it’s this cave in Greece and one of the
richest in Europe some have suggested it
was the mythical gateway to Hades the
Greek underworld and it’s easy to see
why in various pockets all around this
nearly 1000 foot long cavern
scientists have exhumed more than 150
bodies archaeologists honest Asiya pop
Athena CEO and Bill Parkinson continued
to find more from 8,000 years ago until
about 5,000 years ago
agricultural villagers farmers some of
the first farmers in Europe buried their
dead in here they carried out ritual
activities here and these are the people
who eventually laid the foundation for
what became classical Greece compared to
other ancient civilizations it seems the
people here in Greece never had it easy
the cave provides a window into a key
period in human history the Neolithic
when by around ten thousand years ago
humans first started to give up hunting
and gathering and began settling down
it’s the first time period in human life
that people they start living in a way
like us they are the cultural roots they
base their diet mostly in grains like us
today depending on where you lived and
what resources you had access to some
societies during the Neolithic were much
more primed for greatness than others
some of the objects are so valuable
that’s like what we call hand carry and
that’s basically the courier is
handcuffed to the briefcase and escorted
through security
