Melanie no problem! :)
I honestly cant thank you enough for this. This was a life saver
i didn't need this but THANKS
I have to watch this for homework I won't fail my test tomorrow now :3
1:43 If they were from Lesbos they'd probably say, 'hey, I'm Lesbian' !
lol
HAHAHHAHA
NICE ONE AHHABABABA
i thought you were american
What has this world come to
My kids absolutely loved this. They came home and told me they used this video in school and were so excited to answer the questions. Thank you
IKR the video was perfect for the class!
Thanks I am in 6th grade and have a test soon and we have been studying Greece for about 3 weeks and this helped a lot. Edit: I got 100% on my test thanks
Watched this in school, and I couldn't help but notice your hoodie. Made me smile. DFTBA. Loved the lesson
I'm glad you liked the lesson. DFTBA!
Love your videos! I teach at an international school in Costa Rica and we've been watching a couple of these. Definitely subscribing an using them in the future. Thanks for all of you do! Also, the DFTBA sweatshirt was an nice touch. :)
Homeschooling my 6th grader and replaced most of the reading in our textbook on Greek geography with this. My son loved this! Such a great summary.
Man I’m lucky I found this again cause I had notes due
5:11 expert acting
YOU'RE RIGHT
Since you state that the first civilization that thrived in Greece was not Greek, tell us professor, what exactly was it? Can you name what was the first civilization that thrived in Greece? Tell us what language that the minoans spoke, since you seem to know, although nobody else was able to read linear-A since today. You seem to know more than everyone else!
Currently helping with 6th grader with her social studies homework. Hopefully she gets an A+!
His hoodie says
"Don't forget DFTBA."
But that means "Don't Forget Don't Forget To Be Awesome!"
Sorry, I overanalyze things too much.
no it's don't forget don't forget to be awesome to be awesome
Ah, smol brain me.
Goldie I actually didn’t know what the dftba part meant lol. Thx for that 😂😂
The rest of the quote is underneath, you are under analyzing things.
ik i figured that out later
In 2:03 it says laguage instead of language
+Mr. Awesome Yep. I even had other people check it before posting. Good eye!
+Mr. Corwin are you going to fix that? I am subscribing now... like what I see so far! But the spelling error... well.... I hope you fix that. :)
The guys who came from the North and conquered Mycenea were the Dorians of Northern Pindos. They were the first to bring iron in Greece and that is why they defeated the Myceneans.
YOUR HOODIE IS AMAZING
My social studies teacher made us watch this video and do the three questions. It was fun to watch healthful for the chapter we are studying on ancient grease in social studies class. Would defintely recommened this video to other teachers and fellow students. Good Job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
We at a stay at home order in North Carolina and This really helped the PowerPoint we had to do today on our Chromebooks and apparently it’s restricted on our school acc
Your videos are really helpful. I have a test to take tomorrow and watching your videos is really helpful.
In school I was watching this then you said
"Killed some people" Some more like a ton!
same
right as i read it he said it
Speek little slow so that i can understand nd tell me more about greece physical nd climate
there was the idea of greece (for example against persians) but they all were saying that: We are Hellenic(hellenic was first said in about 1000 BC unlike "Greece" took its name from the romans(romans used to call hellenics, greeks)
watching this in 2020 with my 6th grader. You are a great teacher!! thank you for this and your other videos :)
The Minoans didn't speak Greek?Really.?Thats nonsense.Linear's A and B were found on the Island of Crete and all the way up into Macedonia.The name places and kings also had Greek names.Thier religion was also Greek as were their names.What historians consider the Minoans non-Greeks.?The Afrocentrics..?LOL..
Thank you for your interest in the video. I understand what you are saying, and I hope that your comment inspires some of my students to look into Linear A and B. The cultures of the Minoans and Mycenaeans are definitely related, but linguistically, the relationship is uncertain. We have yet to decipher the language represented by Linear A which is why there is a distinction between it and Linear B (which has been deciphered). I appreciate your remarks and did not mean to diminish the impact the Minoans had on Greek culture in any way.
Mr. Corwin
My apologies if i offended you or any of your students.I was merely trying to say that there are many ways to determine a peoples ethnicity and culture then just language alone.As you said yourself a language that is uncertain at the moment.I believe it to be an archaic form of Greek.Anyway again i hope i didn't offend anyone.
Ancient Minoans (Situated on Crete) and modern day Cretans DNA are the same. And Minoan civilization is a continuity in Greek civilization to Mycenaean to Classical period, to Byzantium, to Modern Greece. Some things changed, but many things absolutely didn't, It is indeed unclear if Linear A and B are a continuity, but for me it doesn't make the people any less Greek. The people of Greece are people who have lived and thrived in the conditions, geology, geography of Greece since the dawn of human civilization and it's culture is one continuity all from before the bronze age. It's ways of respecting the land and sea, it's customs, it's hospitality, it's craftmanships today is the same as that of the time of the Minoans.
And besides. The Minoans (3650 - 1200 BCE) was just one bronze age civilization in Greece, which was incredibly advanced. But next to this there was the Helladic Period in mainland Greece 3200-1200 BCE and Cycladic Civiliaztion 3300 BCE - 2000 BCE.
And before the Bronze age there have been found over 1000+ archaeological sites dated to before 4000 BCE from the neolithic and paleolithic.
of which examples are www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/accidental-discovery-8000-year-old-settlements-and-necropolis-greece-001531
"The discovery reflects an incredibly advanced civilisation existing in northern Greece 8,000 years ago."
Linear A was not Greek, Linear B was adopted by Mycenaean Greek speakers (although it was ill suited for the sounds of Greek, which is why it was later replaced by the modified Phoenician alphabet.) Minoan culture (art, architecture, religion) as well as their political systems was very different from that of the Mycenaeans, so to place them both under the umbrella of “Greek,” implicitly drawing continuity forward to the classical age, Alexander, Byzantium etc. is improper imho. The Minoans likely would not have considered themselves Greek, and it is also likely that there was no prevailing Greek, or better yet Hellenic, identity on the mainland, even among the Mycenaeans. Linear A was likely a script for a pre-Indo-European language spoken on the Crete, or even the greater Aegean region.
@@cobone1457 Linear A hasn't been deciphered yet so we cannot be sure about which language it pertains to, only Linear B has been deciphered and has been validated as Greek. But what we have for certain are genetic studies which prove that the Mycenaeans, the Minoans, and the South-Western Anatolians were all genetically similar. Take a look at the following article, which pertains to a recent genetic study on these people and their relation to modern Greeks, www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/08/greeks-really-do-have-near-mythical-origins-ancient-dna-reveals. Also have a look at this following video which also presents the matter, ua-cam.com/video/HQWjbYdHrBY/v-deo.html.
Can you make a video about there armies pleas.
Thanks, Mr. Corwin. This was a great connection between the geography of Greece and how it affected the city-states. Cheers!
Pompeii?
have a episode on greek myth
Try to imagine greece, as coastlines and not as a peninsula. Greece is the seas and the surrounding coastlines. All around the peninsula, islands, and the facing coasts (south italy, asia minor, etc).
Fellow teacher here:) Love your video! What do you use to make it?
plz check aris poulianos , if you do the checks im sugesting you then plz spent some time pondering why u didnt knew anything about ...
My teacher showed us this in class. All I was doing is fangirling over his sweatshirt with one of my friends.
Thank you for this video! My homeschoolers enjoyed it!
sparta had 2 kings actually , The Isocratian idea of panhellinism started in athens he was one of the famous 9 Isocrates he gave this idea to philip II of macedonia which was transferred to alexander the great .
Very accessible. I'm an adult and this was very helpful. Thank you!
You are wrong in many things. Most important : the Greek tribes knew they were one ethnicity. They just didnt like to live in one state.
The may felt "athenians" or "macedonians", or "spartans", but above all they felt Hellenes!
For example you can read what Isocrates write to king Phillip about the union of the Hellenes and the campaign against the persians
Hey Mr Corwin Your so great
NICE JOB LANDON!!!!
We don’t know, yet if the minoans were greek speaking people or not, due to lack of evidence. But declaring that they, absolutely, were , not greek is not correct as well. We just don’t know yet, I would say in a more modest way.
You spelled language wrong

I watch your videos all the time in school everybody loves when we watch themWhen we have a choice to watch videos we all say a mr corwin compilationWe’re you paying attention answer these next the questions to find out....
+Mr. Corwin As so many Greeks have pointed it out to you : there is no such thing as "non-Greek-speaking" Minoans. The idea that Minoans were "non-Greeks" was falsely created by British informant, spy and ultimately agent of the precursor of MI6, Arthur Evans. Before going to Crete Evans was working as an informant and spy in Belgrade, Serbia, pretending to be a journalist for British newspapers (no connection to archaeology whatsoever!). He was then sent to the Ashmolean and re-baptized as "archaologist" for his next mission to Crete, though indeed he had also a personal interest in history so he could play that role well. At Crete he supposedly dug out the palace of Knossos when in reality that had largely been excavated by Greek archaeologist Minos Kalokairinos. He found a Linear writing system which he divided into 2 phaases : Linear A and Linear B and he claimed that it belonged to "just any other nation but not Greeks". Which sounds pathetically unscientific as not only there was not a single element to point to any "non-Greek" nature of Linear A & B but in reality it was clear since the beginning that it bore a language, not just indoeuropean, but one which had identidical grammatical structure to Greek (e.g. highly inflexed nouns etc.).
Linear B of course was deciphered (even before Ventris presented the overall case in 1955) and Linear A was also deciphered a few years later, yet a few (few but influential in political circles) British and American """"specialists""" insisted that Linear B was merely the adaptation of Greek invaders ( = an invasion that has never been proven, there is no evidence for such : all pure fantasies of Evans' followers!) and that Linear A was the original Cretan when in reality not only we can read more than 50% of it with values of Linear B for common syllabes and ideogrammes (the rest 40% being highly ideogrammatic and arbitrary, same case for LInear B out of which some 10% of text has not been deciphered up to date due to its ideogrammatic and personalized nature - e.g. the writers could had noted just anything anyhow they wanted, we cannot know everything - these tablets were not records or official text but just plain everyday notes they discarted as useless). Not only Linear A has been decoded to a large extend and it is Greek, but even the earlier hieroglyphics when containing similar ideogrammes and syllabes, they do render Greek words and in places where here is verification of meaning-meant (e.g. in additions, down at the SUM the decoding on the basis of Linear A/B values gives SUM in Greek etc. - again a highly inflexed indoeuropean language, same story with A and B).
All in all one has to be either ignorant, or propagandized, or propagandist himself or otherwise plain retarded to claim that Minoans were speaking not Greek.
... not to mention the major retardation of claiming Minoans as different than Mycenaeans - I have asked the very archaeologists who work on the field and they say that the can distinguish more easily artefacts of 500 BC Athens from artefacts of 500 BC Corinth than doing the distinction between artefacts from 1600 "Minoan Crete" and 1500 BC "Mycenaean Peloponesus".

what does the words spell out at the begin of the video?
We had to watch this for class and this is actually pretty good!
1:59 he spelled language wrong.

You forgot an island, which is the third bigger in Greece. It is located between Chios and Lemnos and it is called Lesvos. It is where you wrote "aegean sea". Some great people from this island were: Sappho (the poetess), Alcaeus of Mytilene,Pittacus, Odysseas Elytis (who got a Nobel Price of Literature) and Theophilos. Maybe you know some of them, maybe not.. But it is important to know this island and these people, if you want to learn more about Greece. Sorry for my bad english, i don't know to write very well in your language. I am from Lesvos, Greece.
Thanks
Minoans are absolutely considered Greek. Not only did they believe in the same Greek gods (with Greek names) but there is allot of evidence that ethnic Cretans are actually Minoans that live today. After the Volcanic eruption in Thera the civilization did go down, but it didn't disappear. The remaining Minoans to escape the pirates and the sea people that came after the disaster made their villages on top of the mountains in hard to access areas. Many of these villages have been found and pottery has been dated to that time period. When things started to settle down, people started to build their villages closer and closer to the sea again. In a way the Minoans never really went away.
Thanks for the video! I learned this for school! Thanks!
+1-Up Hedgehog Yeah exactly. I watched this for school and it really helped! Thanks!
Saw this In class
You spelled Language "laguage"

Thank! You are a amazing homework helper!
Hey dude yoy should post more for helping kids and teachers find a place to get information
2:54 Hmmmm…. I thought this was about Greece
Oh this video is in my class.

pen sword intro thingy majig was cool
Okay, but this doesn't help me like I don't know why.
Yo yo yo your name Doug?
Hey I heard that you and mr. Ron Buck who is my teacher are friends I am one of his students of the 6th grade hi
your hoodie pay me attention>3

Also, the idea that Greeks were such bad sailors as you mention had to be insulting if it was not so pathetically laughable. Greeks sailed during day? WTF are you talking about ? The most common trip (the most bana tripl, a trip you would not even speak off) was the one down to Egypt or the one west to Sicily lasted 2 days with the best wind and more with inverse winds. So boats would pass at least a night or 2 or even 3 in the sea and Greeks would not even think about it. The reason they fared during daylight was that the nature of the Aegean with the islands being at a distance of a few hours from any point to the mainland, meant that Greeks simply did not have to travel during night - and why should they. Yet as said with the example of Crete and South Italy - Sicily they did travel ultra-casually during the night. Travelling during night is equally convenient since you may not have the sun but you have the starts to navigate and Greek mariners knew expertly how to navigate with the starts. Not to mention - since we speak of the Bronze Age - that the voyages of Bronze Age Greek mariners to the Atlantic are known as well as their contact with at least North America is recorded in ancient Greek texts (it is just that western historiography is not ready to accept this historic fact).
THAT YOU SOOO MUCH! this helped my project a lot. THANKS!
nico poggio I'm glad it helped!
+nico poggio (lemonshark4) me too.. for 5th grade
+Elizabeth Belt not a project thought
Great video...I believe the theory of the volcano eruption influencing Crete has been abandoned though.
im watchin this for schiool
Very nice presentation,almost perfect :) You explained the most important things in a few minutes! The key to understand someone the real History of Greece is to understand that they were "separated" in city-states and so competitive that often ended up on a conflict each other in order to gain glory,wealth,more land and more influence over the other states!That's why someone from Sparta used to say "I am from Sparta" and not Greece etc although they were all the same,at least all had they same traditions,religion and language. what about Minoans i didn't know that historians disagree on whether they were originally "Greeks" or not but i know that it's a confusing story ;)
Thanks! This is very helpful, it covers everything on my notes!
spelling mistake

You got somethings wrong. Ariadne was NOT the daughter of Minos. She was the daughter of Daedalus, the creator of the labyrinth
why do you tell anything about the Kingdome of Macedonia ?
The simple reason: time.
MACEDONIA IS THE BORNLAND OF G.ALEXANDER AND ITS GREEK,SKOPIANS TOOK THE LAST 20 YEARS THE HISTORY THE BRAND NAME ECT,AND CHANGED THOSE,WHAT A LIE!!!shame to u skopje and 4all the world history...thanks 4 ur time..
Are you from Srs Datuk simon fung?
Great video! I loved the story about the Minotaur!
chat noir!
i'm such a big fan!
Mr. Corwin - Your podcasts & lesson are great!! My 6th grade class in Philly loves them :) Would love to see lessons Ancient Latin America... and North America.
But thnku soo i knw much now bcz of u
The Dorians that invaded from North Europe caused the Dark Ages in Greece cause they had no written history and they lacked alot in termes of "civilisation", And later on they became known as Sparta for most....The Myneoeaeans were not the first seattlers they themselves invaded other people more earlier than them.
My kids love you! I wonder if you might do a video on the Trojan war?
My current plan is to discuss the Trojan War when I talk about Homer in a video on Greek Achievements. Hopefully that will give you what you need. I might do an overview of the Iliad in the future.
U are very good teacher making me understand 👍🏼
Maybe you
should study more English than history.

Interesting for kids...perfectly unperfect
I subbed
Also you are saying Greeks didnt identified as Greeks but simply as Spartans, Atheneans etc well that's not accurate & pretty much half of the truth. While there was no country called ‘Ancient Greece’, all Greeks self-identified as Hellene's (as they do today). This is called ethnos or ethnicity and constitutes the definition of a nation.
Referencing 'The Story of Civilization (II): The Life of Greece' (Durant, 1939), Durant confirms that Classical Period Greeks maintained a dual identity of city-state and Hellenic membership. These Greeks identified with their polis first (city-state ), and ethnos (ethnicity; ethno-national, ethno-linguistic and ethno-religious, as examples) second. The Greeks understood that there were aspects of their culture that were uniquely Greek and different to the cultures of others (such as the Persians ), but also identified cultural differences between individual city-states (e.g. Athens, Sparta) and kingdoms (Macedon, Cyrene, Epirus). The most fundamental differences being language and religion.
