Visit Ancient Greece in virtual reality<\/h3>\n

Ancient Greece was one of the world’s most advanced civilisations, a society that spanned the centuries from around 1200 BC to 323 AD.<\/p>\n

Their ancient world was broken down into loose eras, including Classical Greece, Hellenistic Greece, and Roman Greece.<\/p>\n

The whole Ancient Greek society came around as a result of a snowballing effect: tiny settlements in the so-called Greek Dark Ages merged to form thriving market towns, and soon governments and organised bands of people sprouted up across the country.<\/p>\n

From this, all kinds of things were invented, like the city-state and the polis, something which became a defining feature of Ancient Greek life.<\/p>\n

Countless devices and documents, weapons, contraptions and architecture came into being, much of them left behind and found thousands of years later by archaeologists \u2014 including buried treasure.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists have spent three decades working at the historic site of Pylos in the country’s south, work which was explored during the Smithsonian Channel’s documentary, ‘Secrets’.<\/p>\n

Countless buildings and artefacts have turned up at the site, including tombs dating back to the time of Greek mythology.<\/p>\n

Pylos is extremely attractive to researchers in that it holds many relics from the Mycenaean era, which lasted from 1600 BC to 1100 BC.<\/p>\n

A great fortified palace once stood here, the town celebrated by the epic poet Homer as the seat of King Agamemnon, who led the Greeks in the Trojan War.<\/p>\n

This palace is today known as the Palace of Nestor, the great Greek King, although there is no evidence that he was a real person.<\/p>\n

Sharon Stoker and Jack Davis, a husband and wife archaeology team, have been the principal researchers at the site for decades, and in 2015 decided to look for relics just outside of the palace’s wall.<\/p>\n

Having already unearthed evidence of the lives of the Ancient Greeks, they once again struck lucky after finding an abandoned grove not too far away.<\/p>\n
