Mass Graves & Dark States in Bronze Age Europe - Dr. Barry Molloy (DemystifySci +465)

Today's episode features a conversation with Professor Barry Molloy, a UCD archaeologist, and expert on Bronze Age Europe and weaponry. Our discussion focuses on a massive but forgotten Bronze Age civilization in Europe. The evidence for this lost world comes from recent discovery of wooden megaforts and ancient battlefields of astouding proportions. Along the way we discuss Cornești Iarcuri, neolithic massacres, prehistoric warfare, and the potential for organized prehistoric armies. This brings us to a new view on the Bronze Age collapse 1200 BC, by way of a far more interconnected world than has been previously factored.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciOUR BOOK, PARADOX LOST: https://demystifysci.com/paradoxlostSECRETARY OF NATURE :Vinyl: https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereDownload: https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0Sp-n7p7uLefsRjAMGQPQStream: Everywhere!PARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!
