SS: Bronze Age Europe was much more than the Minoans and Mycenaeans. In the north, the Nordic Bronze Age saw a flourishing economy in the lands that would later give birth to the Vikings. In the Eurasian steppe lived the other descendants of the Indo-Europeans. They too have left their mark on their terrain. Since stone was rare in the area, they did not leave magnificent stone structures for us to marvel at. However, archeologists have found many burial mounds, as well as the remnants of great wooden structures.

Just a shout out that Dan is a writer presenting the research he does for his writing and constantly states this in his videos. I do find his work to be objective and when inserting his own opinions/conclusions it is always highlighted and reasonable based on the data. I watch his content regularly.
