I talked about how these journeys were into neighbouring lands, who also journeyed to and from neighbouring lands, and that's how objects travelled long distances.
Originally I went on to talk about evidence for people who - perhaps - went on long range journeys. But there was so much to say I decided to make that a new video all by itself.
For example, image 3 here shows burial goods from a bronze age burial in a burial mound near Copenhagen with grave goods that are supposed to be from Minoan Crete.
Now, it may be of course that these were simply traded northwards. But there are other burials in Europe that might be men who brought Mediterranean goods back home with them.
Also there may be Nordic Bronze Age and Central European warriors buried in the Eastern Mediterranean...
Very cool stuff, I think, I am looking forward to talking about this more.
If you want to read about this whole Bronze Age "warrior-trader" thing in the meantime, there are links to papers in the description under the video.
