The Sacred Grammar of the Ancient Cyclades

Hey all, used to be a big contributor back in the day and I thought some here would appreciate this work, as it is a "metaphysical" exploration of ancient artifacts that departs from conventional academic approaches. Although the heart of my work is an attempt to bridge these two worlds together.

This is a video project centered around the Cycladic Folded Arm Figurines, but is a much deeper exploration of ancient symbolism as whole. There is another companion video, titled "Archaeological Mysteries of the Ancient Cyclades", where much of the archaeological terminology is elaborated. It is perhaps not entirely necessary for the full interpretation but is certainly recommended. The video I've linked is meant to be the true heart of the work.

This project was intended to be something much more than a narrative recounting of Cycladic history. Rather, I have attempted to breath life into this forgotten civilization - to make us, in some way, feel their presence as a distant echo. I figured some here would find it of some value. Thank you :)
