3 - Molon Labe ( 3200-1900/1700 BCE) Late Neolithic Period

This time we wrap up stone age and prepare to adventure to bronze age on our next episode. We take closer look at housing, farming and something called Battle Axe culture and “giants churches”. Episode is a bit shorter due the remaking of the older episodes as well.
