We also learned about the Theory of Chaos where small actions can have a large impact on complex systems over time. I got a feeling we‘ll be using this theory more often. I‘m not going to make a discussion out of it, but I want us all to think about the previous books we have read and think about where the Theory of Chaos may apply. #theoryofchaos #history #europe #europeanhistory #normandavies #cnossos #mycenae #crete #prehistory
We learned some new terms in the end starting with Catastrophe Theory where math is used to understand how sudden, discontinuous changes can arise from smooth, continuous changes. #chaostheory #europe #normandavies #history #prehistory #cnossos #mycenae #thera #europeanhistory #volcano #volcanoceruptions #greece
Best part about being self-employed. Done enough for the day? Okay! Bathtime!
Gonna finish The Bull of Minos today. The author is such a fanboy about Schliemann and Evans -- not all that surprising given this was published in the 50s, and perhaps we've swung too far the other way in criticising their archaeology compared to now...
Not unpleasant reading, but definitely rather less about the Minoans and more a paean to the archaeological work of Schliemann and Evans. Not quite what I was looking for.
Casual stroll around the ruins of Mycenae. #travel #Greece #Mycenae #Greektragedy
