Now, Troy, you know, the famous reason behind this is that Helen of Sparta leaves with one of the princes of Troy and goes off to Troy, and so they launch this war to go get her back. But if there really is a Trojan War, which I think there probably really was one, it was probably actually for access to the Black Sea because Troy controlled the ports from the Aegean to the Black Sea.

And so if you get access to the Black Sea, you get all of the agriculture that's there. And of course, Crimea, like in Ukraine, that place has been, you know, that place has been like the Garden of Eden for producing grain in the ancient world for thousands of years and even all the way up to today. So that's probably what it's really about.

And so I was just fascinated with these civilizations and wanted to learn more about them. And what I always do is I will drop down into Google Earth Street View inside of a museum and I'll walk through the museum. And And at the museum in Athens in the Mycenaean section, there are these Egyptian vases that are there. And there's also vases that look like they're like pseudo-Egyptian vases.

You can tell it's Pretty similar, but it's weirdly different. Like some of them, I'm sure you've seen the ones that have a little spout coming out the end. Yeah, that's something that the Greeks are adding on to the vases. And sometimes it's literally just like a little stone addition that's tied to the vase and then wrapped around the rim.

And then they drill a hole there and you can pour the vase, right? And then I thought, oh, that's really interesting. Like, what the heck are the Mycenaeans doing with these Egyptian vases? Okay, that's weird. So this is roughly 1500 BC. Do they know the Egyptians? You know, so that led me down this rabbit hole. And this is maybe about a year ago this started.

So then, you know, the twin civilization or the sister civilization of the Mycenaeans is the Minoan culture. That's on Crete, which is just this island in southern Greece, you know, in the Mediterranean or at the bottom of the Aegean. And the Minoan civilization is this very attractive, literally and figuratively, civilization culture. That builds these huge, enormous three or four story palaces.

They have all these really interesting, beautiful murals on their walls. Their women are supposedly like the most beautiful women that have ever existed. You can look at their murals and it's like, wow, that's a pretty lady.
