Inside Athens Trireme 480 B.C. 🇬🇷

- ■ ATHENS, GREECE: The most advanced weapon of the ancient world was the Trireme. It was these ships that helped the Greek city states, with Athens bringing the greatest number of ships to the table, to defeat Xerxes' Persian invasion fleet. Now these original ships, being 2500 years by now, are naturally long gone along with any blueprints or sketches of their exact construction.
What has however survived are written descriptions as well as stone carvings, one on the Parthenon itself, which Greece used to build a modern life-sized replica which is now open to visitors who wish to see this technological masterpiece of shipbuilding firsthand with their own eyes.
■ I would like to thank all the awesome people of Greece who have been doing their utmost to help me, not just with suggestions, but to meet and show me in person where to make these videos so they can be as unique and interesting as possible. Outside of India and Sri Lanka, this is the most help I've gotten from locals with everything. THANK YOU 🇬🇷
Well done
thank you Harold your vids make me sane again!

I simply love Greece, it offers a unique diversity: 3 seas, 3000 islands, 14 000km coastline, no spot on the continent further than 140km from the sea... rich history, delicious food and most friendly people! Love from Serbia
Love you Serbian brothers and sisters
We love Serbian people. We always have your backs!!
Continent?

About to stay for 3 months in Athens and after that E months in Novi Sad. Really looking forward to that!
As a Scotsman living on the Greek island of Rhodes, I can say that Greece is an incredible country with a truly fantastic history. Ancient Greece was full of incredible inventions, innovations and was light years ahead of practically everyone else. Now, when I walk down to the shore of the Aegean Sea near my house, I love to think about all the incredible times that have passed. No wonder Greece is the cradle of western civilisation.
what lovely words_thank you )
Lovely words my friend. We hope you enjoy your time in Greece, the people that Love & Respect our Homeland and its History... this is also their home & they are also our fellow Greeks 🙌🏻
pretty sure you're greek if you live in greece :D

As a member of the greek navy and one of its two naval schools I have seen this ship get moving and going outside the bay. Two years ago, twice a week we took the students of Greece’s two naval schools (men and women about 20 years old) from their quarters to the place you just saw, put them inside the seats that Harald showed you and got the ship moving. The reason was to get footage for a video to be shown on TV. Don’t get fooled by appearances, this ship can move really fast. And by the way the «πηδαλιούχος» (the controller that takes the central seat) doesn’t have to be strong. I remember the commander always using the same girl to control the ship as she could quickly interpret his commands and turn the ship at will.
Wow! Nice...
Hope to see it sail someday
It’s a truly unique spectacle...
Greg S They went outside the bay you see in the video, but eventually had to come back so that the students could return to their schools before it got dark...
Wow, would have been a great experience 😍
I'm a Viking 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 and I approve of this ship....🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷👍👍👍👍

Your content is the perfect balance of tourism, exploration and education. Thanks for such a fantastic escapism, I feel like I'm living vicariously through you. Glad you're back on the grind!
i was 3 times in Greece.
- Wonderfull friendly People
- Very beautyfull Country and Beaches
- and Absolute FANTASTIC food
Greece
The beaches are wonderful if you like your beaches cover in stones instead of sand . The water is beautiful .
@SlavPlaysGames Yeah that exactly how it went
@SlavPlaysGames Nowadays the pro EU Nea Dimokratia has 48% in the polls! Seems like the Greeks realised the anti EU scam
i visit Greece every year, especially Crete it´s my favourite place
@@gus2600 Depends on the beach.. And its normal for Greece to have rocky beaches once the Aegean sea is much more tranquil than the ocean hence the rocks erosion (which turns them into sand) is lesser.
Norwegian Viking and Greek Spartan wearing sunglasses ...lovin it...
not every greek is a spartan
I wouldn't call an Athenian a Spartan!
@@InfidelProductionz half of Athenians are not from Athens they are villagers that went there.. Out of topic but..
Greece is awesome and her people are even better. Awesome video Harald!
I really want to visit Greece!!!
Just imagine how it would have looked when Arrows and Spears Rained out of this Trireme
I wish I had known about this when I visited Athens last year!
Visit again. It’s awesome now. Hardly any tourists 👍🏻
@@HaraldBaldr Thinking about it! Definitely want to visit again, amazing city!
Thank you to the two Greek gentleman who made this video possible. Amazing glimpse into Naval history.

Kudos to Harald, who is probably the only vloger to show how much more there is in Greece than the stereotypical souvlaki, beaches, mousaka and ouzo. Just subbed.
What an amazing warship! Those were real men! 😎💪🏻
In love with 🇬🇷 Greece
It's frustrating that great history vlogs like this do not get more views
Beautiful ancient engineering. Glad to see Harald is enjoying the Greek naval history. 🇱🇰🇺🇸
"Shall we jump on the ship instead of rambling out here?" Straight to the point! Lol
Leave it to me to keep things moving along so viewers don't drop off for lack of action
@@HaraldBaldr *lack of attention span, thanks for thinking about us adhd people
Yep Greece is the best place, all the locals are so nice like you said. Always willing to answer questions and help out. Love your vids Harald and would love to go somewhere with you someday. You are a super cool dude, one of my favorite UA-camrs for sure!
I really want to go to greece because of its rich history which I am really interested with. I really am fascinated with Greek history and would love to go on a whole history tour. Someday greece🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I just read Victor Davis Hanson's account of Salamis on vacation last month. He spoke of the advantages the Greeks had in a citizens army. Thanks for posting.
Kalimera!!! Greeks are tough when it comes to navigating & commanding ships.💪🛳️⛴️🚢

My Viking friend, we are tied even more Historically. The Predominantly Greek "Byzantines" (Eastern Romans) employed the Varangian Guards in their Ranks as an Elite Soldier Unit.
Many of these Vikings Varangians Runestones are found all over Scandinavia that claim on them that they served in GRIKKLAND....(Greek Land) aka Greece.
Nice presentation & very impressed with your Historical Knowledge, eapecially about the Serpent Column! Bravo 👏
Harold i can't say thank you enough....this has been amazing to watch....so much history....the way you tell us about it makes me want more more more history i feel like i can see it in person the way you describe it and exsplain thing's.....thank you and all the people in Greece for being so kind and allowing you to film all this stuff....it's been wonderful for me.....love from New Hampshire
A great video as always Harold. The Greek people are lovely and Greece is an amazingly fascinating country.
The Greeks should also Build a Replica of the Byzantine DROMON ship as well, with its Dragon Face on the front & equip it with Replicas of Greek Fire Machines on it.
There is a Dromon that was fossilized in Constantinople and found in modern day turkey in tact when they were making digs in certain areas!
Great vlog Harald I loved it!!! I was in january in athens and a loved almost everything about it, the greek people in Athens are incredibly nice and hospitable and I will be going back for more in the future.
Such a beautiful ship. More countries should build replicas of their ancient ship designs.
Themistoclean! The Greeks - great warriors; even greater hosts! Brilliant!
What a lovely piece of art

Whats that?
That's it. I'm taking my boys for a visit to Athens.
We have a little 10m wooden ship on the harbor to the right of this trireme. And when we take it out every year in the Spring to service it. I pass by this trireme every weekend. It's pretty cool.
A very educative video for all. Although I am Greek I learned a ton of details that are not mentioned in our books in school. Great job !!!!!
Without that Greek victory at Salamis (and also, the battle at Platea), I would never have been born..It would probably still be a Persian owned planet now. Salute to those ancient Greeks!
Pipe down u lost
It was not much difference between those nation at that time...so that was not fundemental fight for destroy indentity and culture opposite to religiuos war...
Harald this one is amazing, so glad you brought us here
Thank you from California 🇺🇸
The naval battle of Artemisio took place at the same time as the battle of Thermopylae.The final naval battle was the naval battle of Mykali on the shores of Ionia where the entire Persian fleet was destroyed.
The fact that the Hellenic Navy has a comissioned Trireme is amazing to me.
This was amazing I loved this, thank you Harald
Magnificent video, thank you a lot for making us, who'll probably never be on board, experience this!
On a side note, the Romans also generally didn't use slaves to row their galleys, but trained free people. There are exceptions in times of urgency, but the Romans would often free the slaves before putting them on an oar, since it was difficult to have a functional warship with unmotivated slaves.
Most historians believe that the cadence of rowing wasn't given with drums like in the movies but with flutes, if I recall right.
Only in the late medieval and Renaissance period did the practice of using condemned people on galleys become common. This was facilitated by using less numerous but much bigger oars, on which several people where rowing, this made the errors of a single rower less significant for the entire ship.
Additional thanks to the guys giving you this ship tour, seeing you all moving around the space and across the deck etc. is extremely helpful for storytellers like me to get an idea of the scale and perspectives not easily seen in movies or in drawings.
I literally just finished watching your latest video and I saw you posted this 10 min ago. Love it! ♥️
Greetings from Romania! 🇷🇴
This was one of your best work Harold. Well done Sir. From Cape Town.
You are living my dream, I am so jealous!
Great you liked it man! Welcome to Greece! Since you are Scandinavian and interested in greek history you might be familiar with the Varangian Guard. The symbol of Piraeus, a marble lion now in Venice, was inscribed with Scandinavian runic inscriptions by these medieval Scandinavian mercenaries. One can still see the lion and inscription in the entrance of the venetian arsenal. That’s why Olympiakos fans call themselves “Porto Leone”...
Heraldo is off to fight some Persians! That ship is cool as hell, so awesome you got to go on it! Thanks for showing it to us Harald. 😃 👍
As a Persian I'm a big fan of your amazing channel and I love your videos! Hope you will come and visit Persia(Iran) one day!
I think it was more than 2000 years ago, how wonderful this war was At that time Iranians, great, thank you Harold for this video.
Hey Harald that was a fascinating journey back in time! Wish I was there!! Thanks so much!!!
Excellent video Harald, this is why we keep coming back
Well, the Greek - Persian battles and the Athenian general Themistocles that you mentioned in the video are basically what kept Greece alive and what led western civilization to develop into what it is today.
Incredible, Thank you. I wish I could thumbs up more than once.
Wow more Greece Videossss
Sad, this video should had 1M views until now.. is something you don' t see in every travel vlogger videos.
