Long before Cyprus became a crossroads of empires, its copper was the island's true treasure. In this episode, Lucas and Luna travel to Tamassos, the ancient city-kingdom whose mines supplied the Bronze Age world. They explore how the extraction and trade of Cypriot copper—known as 'chalkos' in Greek and 'ku-babbar' in Akkadian—shaped the economies of Egypt, Mycenae, and the Hittite Empire. Lucas explains the connection between the Cypriot goddess of copper and the Greek Aphrodite, the role of the Cypro-Minoan script in recording metal shipments, and the archaeological site's royal tombs with their chariot gear. They also discuss the decline of Tamassos under Assyrian domination and the later shift to iron. The story of Tamassos is the story of how a single resource can define an island's destiny. #Cyprus #Tamassos #Copper #BronzeAge #CyproMinoan #Aphrodite #MediterraneanHistory #AncientMining #Alashiya #Mycenaean #Hittite #Egyptian #Assyrian #Metallurgy #TradeRoutes #Archaeology #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
