We're gonna rap about the art of aegeans
Cycladic, [pause] Minoan, and Mycenaean [hold up cards with corresponding dates as we say them]
Proto-greek made 3 types of drainage
Sewage, drainage and fresh water storage
Palace at Knossos holds Tapered Columns
They are larger on top and smaller on the bottom
they are characterized with their distinctive shaft
The shafts were red and the capitals were black
Palace of Knossos (Palace of Knossos) has a fresco called Bull-leaping
the sweeping (The sweeping) and elongating lines show they are moving
the women (The women) have pinched waists, are stylized and light
the dark man (dark man) jumps over the bull with his might
Break it down
Cycladic, [pause] Minoan, Mycenean (AEGEANS!!! [woo])
peloponnesus, cyclades, crete (AEGEANS!!! [woo])
2500, 1500, ( 1250 [woo])

Stop, Wait a minute
The palace of knossos is quite elaborate
That you just might get lost inside its labyrinth!
loop from beginning
We got cycladic figurines, they’re so abstract
from 2500 back then and they’re still intact
they have positive and negative spaces
both males and females with no faces.
The women are nude and highly schematized
they are highly revered and immortalized
Men are musicians, like the Keros lyre player
Stuck in between their instruments and their chair
the meaning (the meaning) behind them are difficult to describe
There are several things (several things) [of the figurines] you can imply ([...] really fast)
Like, the women (the women) with triangles can be fertility
and men might (men might) play instruments for the deceased

ANOTHER VERSE::: loop to the begining
the citadel at Tiryns is fortified
and the way that it was built was glorified
Cyclopean Masonry was used with big blocks
forming massive walls made out of rocks.
It has Corbelled arches, shown in the lion gate
lions facing each other are used to demonstrate
the protection provided for Mycenae [Myseenay]
to slow people coming this way.
The Treasury of Atreus (treasury) is a beehive tomb (buzz in the background)
Because rich people (rich people) used this, we can assume
they placed (they placed) their treasures there and make an inference
that this (that this) is due to EGYPTIAN INFLUENCE! (echoooo)

Let me tell you something
Schliemann, an archaeologist, had uncovered
The greatest aegean art that could ever be discovered
A funerary mask that was beaten (repoussé!)
a primitive, mature mycenaean (low quality!)
You got the kamares-ware jar and its bulbous
Marked with squiggly lines and an octopus
A common motif was the sea
sea-dominated geography
The Aegean period was the start of new perspectives
Internal structure was shown and was impressive
It showed a leader in charge making his case
Which all can be found in the Harvester-Vase!
