What's the Chronology of Tiryns?


This is a fascinating video:

What Was REALLY Going On At Bronze Age Tiryns?

Although Pete Kelly doesn't say so, I find that the Tholos tomb in Tiryns having uniquely an altar for hero worship in the Bronze Age is an argument for a hero of Tiryns being actually worshipped. Economy proposes this hero would be identic to Herakles.

But based on its size and analysis of the potsherd, it appears the tomb was built for a cult hero in between 1300 and 1400 BC. It is believed the tomb was either never used as designed or was looted during Roman times.

But I am here mainly for dryer stuff, namely the chronology. First the one given (piece by piece) in the video:

Neolithic Greece
c. 7000 — 3200 BC

Early Helladic Greece
3000 — 2000 BC

Tiryns Culture
2200 — 2000 BC

Middle Helladic
2000 — 1550 BC

Mycenaean Greece
1600 — 1100 BC

Acropolis Fortification, Tiryns, First Stage
1500 BC


Then the recalibration of limit years:

2442 BC
57.683 pmC, dated as 6990 BC = 7000 BC

1838 BC
84.77 pmC, dated as 3204 BC = 3200 BC

1769 BC
86.161 pmC, dated as 3000 BC = 3000 BC

1634 BC
93.251 pmC, dated as 2212 BC = 2200 BC

1612 BC
95.145 pmC, dated as 2023 BC = 2000 BC

1511 BC
98.822 pmC, dated as 1609 BC = 1600 BC

1471 BC
99.049 pmC, dated as 1550 BC = 1550 BC

1430 BC
99.183 pmC, dated as 1498 BC = 1500 BC


Finally, the revision of the first chronology, after this:

Neolithic Greece
c. 2442 — 1838 BC

Early Helladic Greece
1769 — 1612 BC

Tiryns Culture
1634 — 1612 BC

Middle Helladic
1612 — 1471 BC

Mycenaean Greece
1511 — 1100 BC

Acropolis Fortification, Tiryns, First Stage
1430 BC


So, 7000 BC to 1500 BC recalibrates to 2442 to 1430 BC. 5500 years to 1012 years. But recall, this is not all of Tiryns' history and its surrounding's prequels. It ends in 1100 BC. No recalibration. 5900 years recalibrate as 1342 years./HGL

PS, recalibrations based on tables and principles in Newer Tables: Preliminaries · Flood to Joseph in Egypt · Joseph in Egypt to Fall of Troy./HGL
