The BEST Preserved Roman Colony in the World
Timgad was a Roman city built for retired veterans of the Roman army. It is located on the edge of the Sahara Desert, in modern day Algeria.
It is the best preserved Roman colony in the world, with a perfectly preserved grid plan, a forum, a theater, a triumphal arch, temples, bath houses, and even a library.
Many Roman colonies had a similar grid like pattern, but Timgad gives us the best idea of how such Roman colonies looked like, simply because it is so well preserved.
It had a forum, a theater, a temple to Jupiter, a triumphal arch, bath houses, markets, and even a public library. Timgad had all the trappings of a typical Roman city. It was like a miniature Rome, but far from the city of Rome, on the edge of the empire.
The video will show you all the monuments at the site, but also discuss how Rome rewarded its retired veterans and set them up in colonies such as Timgad.

Ephesus in the Early Christian Period
Переглядів 7 тис.4 місяці тому
Ephesus was an important city in early Christianity. It had originally been an important Greek city, and eventually got absorbed into the Roman Empire. The Romans made it the capital of their province of Asia, which turned it into a world class metropolitan center, a large population center bustling with trade and commerce. Being such a large city meant that Christianity naturally spread quickl...

The Powerful City that Built The Largest Temple in the World

Ephesus was one of the most important cities in the ancient Greek and Roman world. It was even older than Rome itself, founded around 950 BC. Very early on in the Archaic Age, it became home to the most important sanctuary of the cult of Artemis, and for the rest of ancient pagan history, was the prime location for her worship in the Greek speaking world. The Ephesians built a massive temple to...

Exploring a FORGOTTEN Jewish Colony in the Middle of Canada
You are too indoctrinated to see the lies you've been taught. 🦜
The public doesn't even know or have a clue where the Romans came from (origin). No questions asked. Incorrect timelines and remarkable calendar switches to cover it up. No questions asked. Wisdom, knowledge and smartness are three different things. Not one and the same, as most people believe.
Weak narrative, hearting pathetic chatbot comments, irrelevant music.... 👎 channel blocked
Turkish minister of tourism like this video 😆
Superb presentation
You deserve being well rewarded for such great and hard work. I loved this video as well!! 🎉😅🇧🇷
most ppl dont realise that anatolia along the coasts and not greece itself was the largest part of the greek world. for greek this was homeland for more than 3000 years and most ppl in todays turkey in the coastal regions are certainly mostly of greek descend who was forcefully islamized and forced to erase their heritage by the islamic rulers.
excellent video, man
Ephesus was Greek and built by Greeks.
Roman not Greek, the rulers were Roman and some of the people was Greek
Free Palestine
Excellent new sub
You mean Palestines most impressive ruin. There is no country called ISRAEL.
2:00 that was smooth.
You men Palestine.
Unless it's in Rome, it's NOT Roman.. this belonged to the united old world empire that had nothing to do with Rome.. Everything in this old world fashion is just labled as Roman to give credence to the vatican and to hide the true history of who built it
Here is the Truth It is much easier to Tell someone they are mistaken and wrong then to admit that they could have made a mistake as this could call there “credibility and Believes in to Question” There is a Reason Religious organisations / cults and governments hate free thinkers, education, and technology as this will altimetry lead to the truth, a truth that will cost them followers and Money Domesday Religion is an Evel on its own, DNA is DNA showing the connections but most governments and Religions tyred to Suppress this tool why I urge all to think and look the migration of Humans was Jusus White or from a Mixed Rase the Hidden Truth that the Ethiopian Bible Pre Dats the Roman Bible by 1000’s of Years which are the same but changed to make ?? look for your self truth the Jewish Religion Per Date the Roman and Islam by 1000’s of years the Persian empire “current Day Iran” was chard to Protect Israel , by GOD, Iran with ISIS ended up Killing off all the Persians ? and destroying everything please do your own investigations into Religion and the Crimes, Lies and Geni sides they caused the 12 Commandments give to Mosses and Mohammed was the same 1. All Men and Woman are = a. Pre Mohammed / Islam Woman had no more Value than a chow b. Mohammed changed this c. Mohammed Dies and the 12 Tribes murder his Blood Line d. Appointing a new Proffer / Trible Leader aligned with their greedy ways. e. Bringing Back the Old Trible law where Woman are no more then I item, ISIS and More has shown this This is not the Plat form but the Truth is it is Much easier to Destroy and kill then admitting the Truth 1000’s of areological sites and Documents are destroyed each Year, by Religious, Governments, and their Supporters to preserve the Narrative I am sill resourcing the facts based on time lines, DNA, Migration, and how the False “Edited” versions of Religion and Governments have changed and Suppress the Truth to meet their Narratives
Great!! 😅😅
1:05 didn’t know women were soilders in Ancient Rome. 😂
La cartina dell impero che hai mostrato presenta degli errori grossolani…..Forum Julii vicino a Marsiglia? Forum Julii è l’odierno Friuliveneziagiullia……controlla prima di divulgare sciocchezze!

itx not israel's but palestine's!!!!!
Jews settled in the land of Isreal in 1600bc Muslims settled in Isreal around 600 ad you tell me again who’s land it is clown 🤡
👍👌👏 I really like this interesting video. If only the narrator would be a bit better understandable. Talking a bit slower might help too respectively might already be enough. So I have to concentrate too much to understand him and therefore miss some of the actual video. Nevertheless of course: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
I just discovered your channel, and I'm very impressed by the quality of your editing, and your attention to detail. Keep it up!
I truly love the way you are able to tell these wonderful historic tales. I m eager to jump on a plane and see this with my own eyes. Thank you very much.
Thnx for this great history lesson.
It was NEVER Israel to begin with. They illegally stole the land from Palestine. It's a Palestine land!
impressive indeed
It is Palestinian!!!!!!
What have the Romans ever done for us. 😊
😅😅😅😅well information good show you 😅😅😅😅
Are you kidding us? Algorithm΄show an ancient Greek theater and talk about ruins left by the Lycians!!!!! After all, perhaps you should be a little more concerned with what the "smart" algorithms suggest?
one more great example of the fact that Israel is Europe , and Arabs/Mohammedans are aggressors. Arabs/Mohammedans are not Palestinians.
Fantastic video learned alot
Go back to Poland, Germany, and Russia Jewsih converts
Fantastic mini documentary! Greetings from Germany!
Nice to hear from Germany. Which city are you from?
@@Street-Gems I am actually from England (middlesbrough), but my wife is German, we live near Bonn (the capital during the cold war), some fantastic old towns here. If you are interested google Blankenberg (sieg) that is more or less where we live :)
Unbelievable
7:38 i see humor didn't change much on the top right
You mean Palestine's?
ITS ISREAL
@francon4753 he had it right. FREE Palestine from the genocidal maniacs.
Judea Delenda Est
Herod modernized a backward people and was resented by the religious ruling cabal who benefited solely by exploiting the average Jew
The video is excellent. However, the title is wrong. It should have been written that it is Palestine's most impressive Roman ruin.
Just like the PERSIANS, LYCIANS, PHOENICIANS, ARABS believed that GOD WAS A ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did this mean??? They believed that God had created NATURE and HUMANITY, but did not have any demands towards human morals and did not nfluence personal FATE. THE GOOD HUMAN SOUL (SYMBOLIZED BY ASTARTE/ DIANA ETC) WAS THE OPPOSITE OF THE GOD OF THE REAL, AND HUMAN SOCIAL REALITY WAS DETERMINED BY THE LION AND THE BLACK BULL, OPPOSITE FORCES. In the third century MITHRAISM emerged from this region (Son of God kills BULL) and later GREEK CHRISTIANITY....... THE NAME PETRUS REFLECTED THE GNOSTIC IDEA THAT THE HOLY HUMAN SPIRIT (CHRIST) WAS SUPERIOR TO THE INERT ABSOLUTE GOD.
Another hidden gem on youtube! May i suggest ancient Greek Kassopi as one of your next videos? You will find it fascinating and it is well preserved. And its location is breathtaking. Such a beautiful place. You will love it. A not so well known ancient gem of Epirus. Do a little reasearch and if you like it , cover it. Thank you my friend for this wonderful video.
The accomplishments of HEROD were truly great, and the cities of ALEXANDRIA and CEASAREA did form later the core of rising CHRISTIANITY. Yet, Jewish fundamentalism did lead to the JEWISH-ROMANS WARS and the destruction of JERUSALEM and JUDEA. In the 6th century total war broke out between the CHRISTIAN ROMANS and the ZOROASTRIAN PERSIANS, ultimate leading to a victory of the JEWS and ARIAN ARABS, COMPLETELY DESTRUCTING THE MAGNIFICENT CITIES ALEXANDRIA AND CEASAREA.
