Before the Proto Indo-Europeans, the Early European Farmers (or Neolithic Farmers) were spread across Europe, and they had their own gods. How do we know who they were? Well here we do some analysis to uncover a number of them. ERROR: I did say Mycenean instead of Minoan a few times, and I apologize. Unfortunately I can't correct this audio now it is published, but will correct the error the next time I make a video on the subject.
