That things like this can still be discovered -- a Mycenaean warrior's grave discovered at Pylos, complete with weapons, Linear B tablets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_B), jewels, etc. Don't forget that "sandy Pylos" was the home of Nestor, whom Telemachus consulted to see if he knew anything about his father, Odysseus. Wise old Nestor (90 years old) had also fought at Troy, but he did not know what had become of Odysseus. Interestingly, the "Griffin warrior" recently unearthed at Pylos had trappings of the Minoan civilization (Crete), although Pylos is more associated with the Mycenean civilization.
