Was! One of the best places on the planet! That's what the ancient Macedonians thought too! They built their ancient capital city of Hella there and all was well until the 1500's when the volcano erupted on Santorini island, the violent eruption from this super volcano shook the ground, sent tsunamis and threw lava bombs! This is why the Macedonians abandoned Hella! And relocated to Pella further east... The Greeks arrived after this time! While this eruption took place, the Greeks were just escaping from Egyptian slavery, they weren't known as Greeks back then, the word greek means foreigner in Macedonian pronounced Greytsi which is where the Roman Latin word Grecian comes from! The account of the arrival of the Greeks/foreigners in Europe is documented in the bible, the book of exodus! They were known as the Israelites until they were conquered by King Philip II and were thus called greci pronounced Greytsi... Even during the Roman Empire, the Greeks who were taken into Roman slavery and completed their slavery contract, they were given the title of Greco Roman's..... No other race of people got a special title.... Because they were different to everyone else! So either this documentary was really badly researched or it's pure propaganda?
I've always found the history of Eastern Europe to be both fascinating and underappreciated. From Stefen Nemanja in Serbia to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos in Byzantium, it's an adventure learning. I'm from a Chinese civilisation so learning about other cultures as old or older than mine is exciting. Most fascinating is how Greece have survived as individual city states and never lost their culture despite being dominated by both the Latin Romans and Ottoman Turks. That is strength and pride! Much love to the people of Greece from Taiwan 🇬🇷❤🇹🇼
We Greeks have tremendous respect for the enormity and depth of Chinese history and culture. We also understand, from firsthand experience, how fragile and beautiful democracy is - wishing Taiwan every strength in its continued independence! 🇬🇷🇹🇼
Thanks friend, and just a little note, we Greeks get a little touchy when being referred to as being a part of Eastern Europe (which is culturally different) :) We classify ourselves as belonging to South Eastern Europe geographically, or Mediterranean culturally. Love Taiwan by the way!
@@BlackadderFunk Balkans have nothing to do with Eastern Europe...culturally,genetically,historically...they are part of Southern Europe,just it's Eastern part...like Great Britain is part of Northern Europe...just it's Western part.
My fiance and I spent 5 weeks in Greece, and it was truly so magical, every part of it. Even in Athens, as busy as it was, everyone was friendly and you never felt in danger (just keep your backpack on your chest - LOL iykyk). We traveled down the Peloponnese peninsula, seeing Mystras and Monemvasia. We drove through so many beautiful mountains and fruit groves between destinations. The history in every place we went to was astounding. We also went up to Meteora, and some of the Sporades. Crete was one of my favourites. So interesting to see the clash of Byzantine and Ottoman influence on the island, while they still hold a cultural identity and pride in their ancient Greek past. Excellent video!!
As a Greek myself, I can say that this is the first video which encompasses all the most basic information in less than an hour, and it's explaining everything it does need to explain in the most necessary essence. Astonishing documentary, with excellent choice of pictures and videos. God bless you 👑 P.S. In modern Greek, it's also called Ελλάς (Ellas, without the "H" sound that is the result of the spiritus asper)
Thank you so much for that considered comment! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I don't know anyone else who has attempted to span the whole of Greek history in just 1 hour!
@Geodiode I start to hear this presentation and I already put a like because it's Greece, the most beautiful country in the world (where I wish to die one day ahead) but also because it is possible to choose different languages in subtitles. I really hope I find the very same video in Greek afterwoods with at least greek subtitles (and others) so that I can improve my knowledge of this language. Thanks a lot already. Alain from Namur "acropolis" Belgium. I am a turistical guide here in several languages and I wish to prepare a visit in Greek (very likely for nobody but myself as I have no greek friend)😂😢.
Greece has influenced this world too much. In literature, mathematics, democracy, culture, architecture. We can't imagine our earth without greece. Love greece from India 🇮🇳❤️🇬🇷
None of any of those things had anything to do with the Greeks! There's no ancient Greece! I'm sure that you were taught that Greece was ancient but the fact is that the word Greece popped up in the 1800'sAD.... Therefore you can't say ancient and Greece together in one sentence! You are or was taught to confuse the Greeks and the Macedonians, two different people! During the time of Alexander The Great, the Greeks existed as a minority! Uneducated people who learnt the advanced Macedonian Slavic alphabet which they are still using today and only because they were taught by the British and French linguists who were working on decoding the Rosetta Stone and incorrectly believed that it was written in greek, the Greeks couldn't read it! They were largely illiterate! Just as they were when they turned up in Europe after 1500bce, by the 400's BCE, King Philip II went and conquered them.... And they remained conquered by the Macedonian empire fell to the Romans and finally the ottomans, it was only until the fall of the ottomans that the Greeks had the opportunity to be free! The Greeks just never had any time to achieve anything great! Democracy was a Macedonian invention, none of these so called greek scholar's were greek! Having books translated into greek from Macedonian doesn't make them greek! The Romans did a good job of erasing history, the Etruscans, the Carthaginians, the Macedonian, they collapsed the Egyptian Monarchy... And who knows what other damage they have done.... It took a huge empire to support Alexander The Great to travel all the way to India! The mighty Macedonian king and warrior spread the Slavic language and culture everywhere which is why the Slavic language is the most common spoken language in Europe! And also why it's not a Greek language! A minority language that shows up in a tiny abandoned corner of Europe and never went anywhere! They write with an ancient Macedonian alphabet, they use many Slavic Macedonian words spoken with a Spanish/Jewish accent.... Apparently they invented everything while conquering the world, none of which there is any real evidence! So you are thanking the wrong people.....
@@SushanthM-pv2sk yes I am, but don't think for a minute that I have a conflict of interest! I'm not interested in promoting nationalism! Not you nor I can take credit for what our ancient ancestors did! Knowing what actually happened makes me happy! I searched for the truth because the more I look into greek history, the more it doesn't make sense! But everyone talks about how great the Greeks were and what they achieved and invented.. but when you begin to dig a bit deeper, nothing fits together! Like I already mentioned about the Greeks alphabet and how they are still using the ancient Macedonians Slavic koine alphabet.... Tell me, which alphabet were the Greeks using before it? You can look but you won't find anything! This once great and powerful civilization that apparently conquered the world can't show you how their own alphabet evolved! Really? The Macedonians are on their third evolution of their alphabet.... The first one was a Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit, then came the koine alphabet and both can be seen used on the Rosetta Stone.... It was believed that the middle text was Egyptian demotic but has been deciphered since.... And you can tell when a nation of people are in fact ancient, their alphabet shows it! While the koine alphabet is considered ancient, it's relatively new compared to Sanskrit which the Greeks do not possess! The actual ancient civilizations that still exist today are India, China, Egypt, Palestine and Macedonia... These were the world's super powers of their day! I'm telling you, if you start to learn everything about greek history and make sure that everything fits within everything else, you too will begin finding problems, the more you look, the more you find! The word greek in Macedonian means foreigners! The Macedonians say Grejci pronounced Greytsi, Grey means come and together with tsi means commers! Ie foreigners.... When Macedonia fell to the Romans, they adopted the Macedonian word grejci pronounced Greytsi and got Greco and Grecian.... When you pronounce both words, they literally sound the same! The modern English word greek was adapted from the Latin Roman word for greek and the Greeks don't even know it! They think that the name means something great which is exactly what they want to hear! Think about it, the Macedonians made it all the way to India! What sort of a nation would you need behind you to achieve this? Is it any surprise that the majority of Europe speaks a Slavic dialect? But wait! If the Macedonians were greek and Alexander The Great spoke greek, shouldn't Europe be speaking some sort of greek dialect instead? Like I said, greek history doesn't make sense! It just doesn't work! If Macedonia was greek, and the Spartans and Corinthians were greek but today there are no Spartans or Corinthians because there's just Greeks, and the ancient Macedonians who were so powerful, why would the Macedonians need a Greek identity also? Apparently there's no more Macedonians even though they were so powerful but the Greeks survived? How? Every single Macedonian dies out but the Greeks survived? Does not make sense! Always ask questions! History is not about making you feel important because of something that you did not do! History is about what actually happened! Good or bad! Always remember to search for the truth!
@@SushanthM-pv2sk He is a Slav. Only Slavic people who think they (falsely) identify as "Macedonian" can say such nonsense. They literally try to fantasize away 5 golden ages of Greece spanning many many thousands of years with zero facts, zero evidence, zero anything. They think that because Greece wasn't a modern state like in 1821, Greece has never existed. Like India and China as a state exists only since 1949 and 1950, so they didn't have anything before that. Can you imagine what kind of intellect one must have to say such completely absurd things? It's hilarious But the reality is that Slavic people migrated from a regions that is now in Russia, to East Europe in the 7-8th Century AD, and they arrived 1000 years later after Alexander the Great in a region in the NORTH of Greece, and therefor in the north of the region Macedonia. In Conclusion. *The region that Slavic people today call "North Macedonia" was called Vardarska Banovina 50 years, ago. But in Ancient Greece, this was a non-Greek land called Paeonia. And in Medieval times this same region was called Dardania. So. In conclusion. Slavic people who falsely fantasize they are Macedonians, are 1000 years too late, and migrated to the wrong land. Go figure* Lastly. Anyone can research the following: 1. The origin and founding of Macedonia by the Argead Dynasty which originates from Peloponnese 3000 years ago 2. The most popular symbol, the Vergina Sun Symbol, is the most Greek symbol there is and was in use all over Ancient Greece. So the emblem of Macedonia was literally the most Greek symbol in existence. The 16 and 12 star Vergina Sun Symbol represents the 12 Olympian gods, and the 4 elements. 3. The land that these Slavic people live on, was a non-Greek region called Paeonia in Ancient times and Dardania in Medieval times. *These 3 points alone completely annihilates every possible perspective of Slavic fantasy of Macedonia. Macedonia is exclusively Greek and has been for 3000 years since it's foundings till this day* Meanwhile. A slav can only keep crying with absolute zero facts. mehhh meeeeehhh, meheeeeeeeehghhhhhhhhhhh Zero arguments, zero facts, zero archaeology, zero linguistics, zero science. Everything is completely against them. And yet they insist they are connected to Alexander. A complete hoke
@PeterMilanovski I don't know how it is in your country brother, but when you are Greek no matter where you are or where you live you are always above all Greek, and no we don't need to renew a visa to come back. Our home is always there for us!!
Not really. The culture of the ancient Greeks is gone, and only scant remnants of medieval (easter romans/byzantine) culture still lives since they were occupied by Turks for 400 yrs. People also mixed in with Italians, bulgarians, Norman's, Turks, Arabs, and more.
I am watching this from Volos as an American that lives in Spain. Greece is a mellifluous country everywhere I have been, from Xania to Naxos to Thessaloniki. I just finished reading 3 books by Kazantzakis and am nearing the halfway mark of “Biography of a Modern Nation” by Roderick Beaton. Your video is accentuating everything I’m learning and imbibing, and I thank you very much.
As a Greek, this video has just risen to the absolute top of my list of documentaries made about Greek history! I am astonished by the elegance of writing, thorough yet accessible presentation style, and pitch-perfect analysis of events. How you’ve managed to do this in under an hour is incredible. A truly flawless production. Thank you for your work, you’ve just won a new fan!
Thank you very, very much Maverick! It's comments like this that keep me motivated. Especially after reading other comments not so nice, or just plain ignorant! Glad you found it!
Your words reflect my feeling as well, very well said. This is an incredible production, and especially the commentary, it is brilliant. The scenes selected are stunning. I am forwarding to all my Greek relatives and friends, it is very uplifting for us to see this excellent documentary.
Some people are not happy with this strong historical remembrance and conscience of the Greeks. They resent that. In a way, I can understand that. Because at times it can be intimidating. Sometimes I myself can‘t believe how old and strong this Greek culture still is. But when you drive up the Lycabettos hill and watch the Acropolis against the background of the Aegean Sea, when you walk through the beautiful landscape of Delphi and see the sacred temples, when you visit the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul and attend the service in the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, then you will feel this unique sentiment of living history. It is all still there under the shining light of the mediterranean sun. This makes me feel so humble and proud at the same time because humans have done all this. It is the cultural heritage of our human race.

well said Dorothy, excellent use of words that created a strong emotion that only Hellenes can feel and share it with the rest of world, exactly because Hellenism is all about universal values, unfortunately we are surrounded by really fanatical and envious people but we will prevail in the end as we have done again and again for millennia, be well
Great presentation. I'm currently learning Greek. There are so many words in English and Spanish that are derived from Greek, I'm having a great time learning. Seeing how human history is, I'm confident in saying that one day in the future, the traditional parts of Greece that are being held by turkey will eventually return to their rightful owners. What we are living is only a blip in history, but Greece is eternal.
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man" (God Came to Work on Earth to save Corrupt mankind. The present is not the same as the past. The salvation granted today occurs during the last day, when everyone is separated according to type) Almighty God said Now God is judging you, chastising you, and punishing you, but you need to know that the point of punishing you is for you to know yourself. He is PUNISHING, JUDGING, and PUNISHING so that you KNOW YOURSELF, to CHANGE YOUR DISPOSITION, and in addition, so that you KNOW YOUR VALUE, and SEE THAT ALL OF GOD'S ACTIONS ARE RIGHTEOUS and IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS DISPOSITION and It is necessary in His WORK, that He WORKS ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN for MAN'S SALVATION, and that He is the RIGHTEOUS GOD who LOVES, SAVES, JUDGES, and PUNISHES MAN. 🙏 If you only KNOW that YOUR STATUS IS LOW, that YOU ARE CORRUPT and DISOBEDIENT, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT GOD WANTS TO MAKE HIS SALVATION CLEAR THROUGH the JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT HE DOES TO YOU NOW, YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GET EXPERIENCE, especially you have NO ABILITY to CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. GOD DID NOT COME TO KILL or DESTROY, BUT TO JUDGE, CURSE, CHASSIS, and SAVE. ☀️ UNTIL His 6,000 year GOVERNMENT PLAN is COMPLETED---BEFORE He REVEALS the OUTCOME of EVERY CATEGORY of HUMANS---GOD'S WORK on EARTH is FOR SALVATION, IT'S PURPOSE is ONLY to MAKE it PERFECT---COMPLETELY ---those who LOVE Him and SUBJECT to His RULE. HOWEVER GOD SAVES PEOPLE, IT DOES ALL BY IDENTIFYING them in their OLD SATANIC NATURE; that is, He SAVES them THROUGH ENCOURAGING them to DESIRE LIFE. If they DON'T DO that, THERE is NO WAY they can RECEIVE GOD'S SALVATION. SALVATION is the WORK of GOD HIMSELF, and DESIRE for LIFE is SOMETHING that MAN MUST DO to RECEIVE SALVATION. ☀️ In HUMAN EYES, SALVATION is GOD'S LOVE, and GOD'S LOVE CANNOT BE PUNISHMENTS, JUDGMENTS, and CURSES; SALVATION MUST be accompanied by love, compassion, and in addition, words of comfort, as well as the eternal blessings bestowed by God. People believe that when God saves people, He does so by touching them with His blessings and grace, so that they give their hearts to God. That is, His touching people is His saving them. This type of rescue is done through reconciliation. When God grants them a hundred times, only then will people submit to God's name and strive to do good for Him and bring Him glory. THIS IS NOT GOD'S PURPOSE for MANKIND. GOD CAME TO WORK ON EARTH to SAVE CORRUPTED HUMANITY; there is no lie here. If there was, He certainly did not come to do His work personally. In the past, His way of salvation included a display of ultimate love, so He gave everything to Satan, the brother of all mankind. The PRESENT is NOT the SAME AS the PAST: THE SALVATION GIVEN to YOU NOW HAPPENS DURING the LAST DAYS, WHEN EVERY ONE is SEPARATE BY KIND; the WAY of your SALVATION is NOT LOVE or COMPASSION, BUT PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, so that MAN CAN be more COMPLETELY SAVED. 🙏 THEREFORE, ALL YOU RECEIVE is PUNISHMENT, JUDGMENT, and RUINLESS STRIKES, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS: IN THIS RUINLESS STRIKES THERE is NO LITTLE PUNISHMENT. ☀️ NO MATTER HOW HARM My WORDS ARE, WHAT COMES to YOU ARE JUST A FEW WORDS THAT MAY SEEM COMPLETELY HEARTLESS to YOU, and HOW MUCH My ANGER is, WHAT COMES TO YOU ARE STILL WORDS of TEACHING, and I DON'T INTEND to HURT you or KILL you. ☀️ Isn't this all true? YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AT THIS TIME, WHETHER IT IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OR HEARTLESS REFINING and PUNISHMENT, EVERYTHING os FOR THE SAKE of SALVATION. ☀️ WHETHER it is NOW SEPARATE EACH ONE BY TYPE or EXPOSING CATEGORIES of PEOPLE, the PURPOSE of ALL GOD'S WORDS and WORKS is TO SAVE THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD. RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT is MADE to PURIFY PEOPLE, and HARD REFINEMENT is MADE to PURIFY them; HURTING WORDS or PUNISHMENT are both MADE to PURIFY and for SALVATION.☀️🙏 THEREFORE, the METHOD of SALVATION TODAY is NOT the SAME DAY. NOW YOU ARE SAVED BY RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, and THIS IS A GOOD TOOL to SEPARATE EACH ONE of YOU ACCORDING to KIND. ☀️ Besides, CRUEL PUNISHMENT SERVES your ULTIMATE SALVATION---and what can you say in the face of such chastisement and judgment? Have you not always enjoyed salvation, from beginning to end? You have seen God incarnate and realized His infinite power and wisdom; and besides, you have experienced repeated beatings and discipline. However, have you not also received the greatest grace? Are not your prayers greater than others? YOUR GRACES are even more ABUNDANT than the GLORY and RICHES that SOLOMON ENJOYED! Think about this: If My purpose in coming was to judge and punish you instead of saving you, would your life have lasted? ☀️ Are you still alive, sinful creatures of flesh and blood? If my goal was only to punish you, why did I incarnate and start such a big project? CAN'T YOU LOW MORTAL BE PUNISHED FOR JUST SPEAKING ONE WORD? Will I still have to exterminate you after I have deliberately condemned you? Do you still not believe these words of mine? Can I save man only through love and compassion? ☀️ Or can I just use the crucifixion to save people? Isn't My righteous disposition more pleasant to make man completely obedient? Is it not more capable of completely saving man? 🙏 From " You Must Set Aside the Blessings of Status and Understand God's Will to Bring Man's Salvation" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).

I recently stumbled upon your marvelous channel and was blown away by your video about Greece! You have truly captured the essence and comprehended the historical significance of my homeland. Greece has experienced numerous cycles of growth and decline throughout its five-millennia existence. In the words of Greek poet Kavafis, "If you break Greece apart, you'll find an olive tree, a grapevine, and a boat. These are all you need to rebuild her." Best of luck with your future endeavors and may your channel thrive!
@@GeodiodeIt s from Elytis that phrase,, a Nobel winner poet. As for Kavafis,he is an example of what greek civilization means. He united ancient, byzantine and cosmopolitan world, as greek world always used to be.
Being a Greek Egnlish teacher dealing with preserving Greece's intagible cultural heritage with the use of new technologies via educational actions, I do thank you for this amazing video!
Always admired the Greeks for their aspiration for knowledge and holding to their roots. Thank you, Geodiode, for such a great, concise presentation 😍. Greeting from Mongolia.
Thanks for your nice comment. Things could be even better for Greeks if you Mongolians kept your turk brothers inside Mongolia and don't let them escape and convert to Islam, come and conquer the capital city and destroy a great culture.
Lol I seen one of those racist moor videos on here that said that Plato was in fact black lol. People like that get mad that their own culture throughout history isn’t as rich as white peoples lol. But we can’t help that lol that’s just the way things are. I mean man…. They are some crazy conspiracy theorists, saying that white people have hid the “truth about black civilizations throughout history”. And I couldn’t help but make a comment Saying…. You must’ve been really sad during your history lessons growing up, it really hit you right in your soul to learn that all of the most successful civilizations throughout history are of white cultures. And now you have to say “that’s ours and we did that”. Saying stuff like Black people were in America first, Black people built the pyramids, black people taught white people how to bathe. And how to be civilized…. It’s really hard to bite your tongue when someone is attacking your culture lol. But I couldn’t help myself and saying that it’s the year 2023 and most of Africa is still throwing spears at wild animals….. I rest my case. But no it’s all a big conspiracy…. They shove this MOOR talk down everyone’s throats. What’s your opinion on the MOOR’s and what comes to mind when those same people make wild, unfounded, ridiculous, claims like that about cultures of years past? Like you can’t change history just to make yourself more proud of your race… 🤷🏼♂️ 🧐

Thank you for a truly respectful, comprehensive and impartial short history of my homeland. Also, the pictures and videos were remarcably beautiful and far from the kitsch ones you see normally everywhere else. I am very impressed and grateful. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
I became interested in, at times obsessed with, Greek history a couple years ago. I prefer presentations like yours over flashy, cheesy documentaries by studios like the history channel. Your style is straightforward and focused on information, rather than "fancy" animations. GREAT work!
Always loved reading the history of Greece, but have a lecture that lied my readings together is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your work. New subscriber. Bells and thumbs ups and all that 👍 ❤🎉
Brilliant documentary about a people who has refused to be dominated throughout the centuries by almost every major empire the world has ever seen, or at least left its marks on it that still echoes to this very day. The Greek spirit is an unbreakable one, just like the phalanx once was. Breathtaking story of these brave people and their culture, and I hope to see the Greeks prosper and flourish for decades, if not centuries, to come. Stay strong, Ελλάς.

I went to Athens Greece in July and loved it. The nicest men i've ever met! It felt so surreal to be surrounded by, and see the culture that inspired my art for years.
Greece ! My God a miracle of culture and the true root of western society ! Magnificent, magic and yet solid and resident and still with us ! As a historian and a preservationist of all the ancient civilizations Greece will always be one the most amazing to me ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so amazed how the people of Crete developed such exquisite art using their maritime connections for the best gold and beautiful gems, all with nature’s rounded themes. Thousands of years and to me ( I used to think I was an artist) the most beautiful creations in my taste. I reduced myself to a crafts person now.😮
Wow what an exceptional video!!! What a treat to watch. This video actually brings tears to my eyes 😭😭🥰🥰🥰 it's crazy, I don't know why it makes me so emotional but I think it shows you did a wonderful job in portraying Greece's story and history. I love the breakdown into different chapters and I really love the shots of Meteora in here. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in to create this piece of art. Thank you, you're so amazing 💕 Ζητώ η Ελλάδα 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 Ευχαριστώ φίλε μου. Χαίρομαι!!!
I'm glad you liked it! Yes, it is an emotional story. Like a Greek Tragedy! Many high points, but many sad moments. You're welcome in your thanks. Now, over to you and your big Greek family to help it go viral, and spread the glory of Greece once more! Ευχαριστώ!
As a Greek living abroad I'm saying thank you for your wonderful and educational work! It was a nice journey for me thinking of my school years and the history classes, back then I found history pretty boring but you made it pretty fascinating in your video! Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to your other videos but I'm already a fan of your channel! :-)
It is really interesting how you can see Greek ruins to the East, Greek philosophy and science to the West, and Greek culture, customs, music and religion to the North in the Slavic world. Truly a magnificent story
@@Geodiode in fact even this channel's name, Geodiode, is a mix of three Greek words. Geo- comes from Gaia/Gē meaning earth/land/soil, di- comes from dia, which means through/divided by, and -ode comes from odos, meaning road/way. Therefore, Geodiode means "the way through the earth", the way to understand/discover the earth
And the Turkish Janissaries (the people of Turkey today who converted to Islam a long time ago or in the past 100 years) insist certain foods and inventions are of Turkish origin.
An EXCELLENT presentation of a very special nation that has shaped the western culture as any other! Fine art, filosophy, arquitecture, sports, sculture, painting, discoveries... we can't imagine how special is Greece to the humanity! Thanks a lot for prepare such a stunning episode!
Perhaps some of us are unaware that so-called white people have no history and are incapable of inventing culture. If white people have a history then where is it? I am an historian of world class pedigree and I assure you that socalled white people have only been on the planet for six to ten thousand years according to science and are NOT human precluding them from any discussion of human origins or civilization. This is not a dig. I'm just not on the side of white supremacist scholarship. There was and never will be a time in history when white people will be civilized. They are incapable of it. Their so-called history is based in savagery, genocide, and stealing from Israelites. I e.Black people. White people cannot live without having a parasitic relationship with Black people. 👊🏿🕎🏹⚔️🌽
@bastiat because that is a subject for the Turkey video. And it will be given the full coverage it deserves at that time. This is a video about Greece.
From the bottom of my greek heart, thank you. It is the least to say to a foreigner who put his time and effort to compile thousands of years of a nation's history into a one-hour video and present it in such eloquent and neat way. Magnificent and astounding. Well done friend
Thanks so much Sam. Yes, instead of just parroting facts like Wikipedia (it's there to do that, so not a criticism), I like to tell the story of a nation, not just in its history, but in the other aspects too. I'm glad you appreciate that, and yes, the next target is 500k. Welcome aboard, and thanks for the sub! It'll be a helluva ride!
As a Greek American, I absolutely loved the reverence shown for Greece's history and culture. You have a tremendous ability to boil down ~2,500 years of history into just one hour. One critical thing that I think was missed was the Greek Pontian and Armenian genocide that occurred 1919-1922. The video made it seem like a somewhat peaceful transfer of population but in reality it was a horrific and explicit genocide by Ataturk. Otherwise, incredible recollection.
Thanks so much and I really appreciate your kind words. Regarding the events of 1919-22, I do understand your point of view, but I can only go with the "official" history, otherwise my channel becomes... something else.
Now is official In 2007 the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) officially recognized the Greek Genocide, along with the Assyrian Genocide. Cyprus was the first country to recognize the Genocide after Greece, by a decision of the House of Representatives on May 19, 1994, and since then it has been commemorating the victims. In addition to these, the Genocide has been recognized by Sweden on March 11, 2021, Armenia in March 2015, along with the Assyrian genocide, and the Netherlands, along with the Armenian and Assyrian genocide, on April 9, 2015. In addition, there are states in America that recognize the Genocide. These are the following: New York, May 19, 2002 New Jersey, September 2, 2002 Columbia, December 8, 2002 South Carolina, January 10, 2003 Georgia, February 3, 2003 Pennsylvania, December 12, 2003 Florida, April 20, 2005 Cleveland, May 11, 2005 Rhode Island, 2008 Indiana, December 2014 South Dakota, February 26, 2015 West Virginia, April 24, 2016 But also the following Australian states: South Australia, 30 April 2009 New South Wales. On May 1, 2013, the Senate, and on May 12, the Parliament recognized the Genocide of the Eastern Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians. From Canada, the Genocide is recognized by Toronto with a resolution on May 4, 2016, as well as the cities of Montreal, Ottawa, LaSalle, Oshawa, and the departments of Laval and Villeray St. Michel Park Extension, as well as the Municipal Councils of the cities of Vancouver and Regina. Canada as a country, however, does not officially recognize the Genocide. @@Geodiode
I noticed a couple of things in this video. You were not talking at an excruciatingly slow pace, nor a crazy fast pace. You have phenomenal diction and are clear with your words. This video is sectioned out in an organized manner and is clear and concise with its presentation. The presentation is also academic, rather than meme-ish. You used valid, current quotes, images, and research to support your claims while keeping your storyline going (you don’t lose yourself in the proof.) What an excellent video! Clear, understandable, organized, and well formatted. Props 🫶🏻😁
we use to say ,,,,,sometimes foreigners are more greek than greeks ,,,,you proved it here with the most excellent video i ve ever seen about my country ,,,thank you
Great overview of Greek history that covers just the right subjects. Very helpful. By the way, Paul was an apostle, but not one of the twelve apostles.
Thank you. This video really goes to the heart of it. That Greek history didn’t stop at the fall of Greek cities to Rome. It continued through the ages, particularly as the Eastern Roman Empire which was Greek speaking and Greek Orthodox. We have to “thank” Gibbons for developing the English academic loathing of later and eastern Roman history - “Byzantine” - which only now is being challenged. Another point is the idea of “Roman” rather than Greek history in Anatolia. Modern Turkish propaganda states that nearly every excavation they uncover in Anatolia is “Roman”. They constantly deny that the cities of Anatolia were Greek, spoke Greek before Roman conquest and continued to be Greek through classical Roman and later eastern Roman periods. These areas remained Greek through the ottoman era and only when 1.5 million Greeks were driven out of Anatolia in 1922/23 (many thousands murdered) was this connection severed. The point I make is that Greek history - all of its stages - has to be defended against those who would deny it and the ignorant tourists who wouldn’t know any better and go along with the idea that, for example, Ephesus was a Roman city or Antioch was a Roman city. I’m sick of finding the internet full of “useful idiots”.
Thanks very much for that detailed commentary, Jim. Many years ago, I read Gibbon Books 1-3 (to the end of the Western Empire), and tried to get through Book 4 in the hope of completing all 6 but he lost me after Justinian... the connection with the West, and what we Westerners *can* connect with was more or less broken at that time, only to be reconnected properly after 1830.
Thank Mr. Gibbons and on my behalf for writing a history in which only British collaborationists participate. How was it concluded that Greek was spoken in the Eastern Roman Empire? If the Greeks were so important in that empire, why wasn't a single emperor Greek? If the Greeks are such a powerful nation, why didn't they choose their own king after the formation, instead they brought Otto Friedrich Ludwig, Prince of Bavaria. Even today, they wave the Bavarian flag and shout that it is Greece. And everyone forgets to mention the Greek genocide and the expulsion of Slavic and other tribes after the Greek-Turkish war.
@@srdjanbasaric517 Actually there is a think in east roman empire that it isn t greek. From Agia Sofìa, + the New Testament.... , to the last emperor.. educate you self. Genocide of slavs 😂😂😂 when they were always against greeks -from where slavs took everythink - and until now ,they want a part of Greece or a part from great greek history?
Republic of North Macedonia : your language is Slavic, your flag is Japanese with McDonald's colours, your name is Greek and your heroes ethnic Bulgarians. What a travesty😅
@@voskreglavincevska7080 Macedonia (/ˌmæsɪˈdoʊniə/ ⓘ MASS-ih-DOH-nee-ə; Greek: Μακεδονία), also called Macedon (/ˈmæsɪdɒn/ MASS-ih-don), was an ancient kingdom on the periphery of Archaic and Classical Greece,[6] which later became the dominant state of Hellenistic Greece.[7] The kingdom was founded and initially ruled by the royal Argead dynasty, which was followed by the Antipatrid and Antigonid dynasties. Home to the ancient Macedonians, the earliest kingdom was centered on the northeastern part of the Greek peninsula,[8] Reference Wikipedia First convince the historians of the entire planet and then we will believe you also!
Wow just wow, absolutely amazing. You deserve so much more recognition on UA-cam, and I believe you will get it! I respect the work you put into these videos immensely and it is an inspiration.
Bravo! Well done. As a Greek Canadian I never really knew the details of Greek history. I know so much more now and you made it easy. I will watch it again and again until I absorb it all and I will recommend it to friends. Excellent work. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate that. Yes, I try to make it "easy" so it can reach a wider audience. Thanks for the sub, and thanks for sharing to others!
Great video. Excited about the geography of Greece. Actually that is how I found this channel years ago, while searching mediterrean climate on UA-cam.
Beautiful video from a Greek born in minor Asia Constantinople the only thing you forgot to mention, the Greeks were not the only expelled and they suffer the consequences of the sward a few millions of them. Thank you.
I used teaching to pay my travel adventures many moons ago and taught a lot of different nationalities, but the Greek school kids stood out among all of them, completely different attitude to learning and to their teachers...
@@Geodiode Unlike others, it seemed it was in their DNA to learn and they loved and respected teachers - others rebel and it's more a case of psychology or policing! I've been in schools where you had to wipe the smile off your face before going in the door because the kids saw a smile as an indication to lose focus and play up and distract from lessons - with the Greek kids in the 3 schools I was in, you could smile and learn and have fun. Education was natural to them [!] and they were proud of their Greek philosophers, the others wouldn't really know they existed [!]
@@maryodonnell5760 fascinating. There are some kids like that in British schools, but most just want to act up and rile the teacher, especially if he is a poor one. I was guilty of that too, but I always respected my good teachers and behaved in their lessons.
@@Geodiode LOL even you! Well, yes,it goes both ways - good teachers wasted on bad students and good students wasted on bad teachers, but you nailed it with 'most just want to act up and rile the teacher' - the difference is with the Greeks it was not just the honours kids that were 'good'. Most of my teachers were terrible at school, this is why I'm enjoying your channel now!
@@maryodonnell5760 it's encouraging to hear about Greece. I know the modern state has had a lot of troubles, but your comments about the kids give me hope. And yes "even me" ;) But I was discriminating in who I was naughty with. I gave credit (and respect) where credit was due! :)
im not even finished watching it yet but just gotta say im immeasurably excited, for years ive contemplated making an hour-ish video compiling\summarizing all of crete's history and this has gotten me so hyped i think im actually going to do it now! lol thanks for the motivation! Also love that you put greek text in each chapters title. Something ive come to the conlcusion of as a greek american gal who likes to read about and contemplate/debate history is if there is one constant element/thing that unifies all greek peoples the most throughout various faiths, descents, places on the map, place in time, etc. it's the writing hands down
Thank you so much veraxiana! I totally agree about the incredible persistence and consistency of the alphabet, that it's been basically the same since 402BC. Even Chinese has changed in that time in terms of its glyphs, and of course the Latin alphabet has had letters added and removed for the various European languages. I wish you the very best in your presentation about Crete. It is actually harder to write less material about a subject than more because you must decide what is important and what to leave out, and how to summarise in a few short words sometimes complex concepts. Please share my video with your friends and family in the great Greek diaspora of the USA and I'll be glad to link your video to this when you've finished it...
It's nice to see there's still well put together long form videos like this about ancient world history. I was getting tired of only watching 10 minute videos. Well done!
Thanks! Yes I felt it was important. When people think of the fall of Rome, they think the literal fall of the city of Rome and that was that. But it went on for another thousand years in the East
An exceptional video, thank you!!! Greece is a country with is first sight it will enchant you! Her rich history, its wonderful climate, and its generous and kind people will always leave you with a sense of nostalgia!
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man" (God Came to Work on Earth to save Corrupt mankind. The present is not the same as the past. The salvation granted today occurs during the last day, when everyone is separated according to type) Almighty God said Now God is judging you, chastising you, and punishing you, but you need to know that the point of punishing you is for you to know yourself. He is PUNISHING, JUDGING, and PUNISHING so that you KNOW YOURSELF, to CHANGE YOUR DISPOSITION, and in addition, so that you KNOW YOUR VALUE, and SEE THAT ALL OF GOD'S ACTIONS ARE RIGHTEOUS and IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS DISPOSITION and It is necessary in His WORK, that He WORKS ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN for MAN'S SALVATION, and that He is the RIGHTEOUS GOD who LOVES, SAVES, JUDGES, and PUNISHES MAN. 🙏 If you only KNOW that YOUR STATUS IS LOW, that YOU ARE CORRUPT and DISOBEDIENT, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT GOD WANTS TO MAKE HIS SALVATION CLEAR THROUGH the JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT HE DOES TO YOU NOW, YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GET EXPERIENCE, especially you have NO ABILITY to CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. GOD DID NOT COME TO KILL or DESTROY, BUT TO JUDGE, CURSE, CHASSIS, and SAVE. ☀️ UNTIL His 6,000 year GOVERNMENT PLAN is COMPLETED---BEFORE He REVEALS the OUTCOME of EVERY CATEGORY of HUMANS---GOD'S WORK on EARTH is FOR SALVATION, IT'S PURPOSE is ONLY to MAKE it PERFECT---COMPLETELY ---those who LOVE Him and SUBJECT to His RULE. HOWEVER GOD SAVES PEOPLE, IT DOES ALL BY IDENTIFYING them in their OLD SATANIC NATURE; that is, He SAVES them THROUGH ENCOURAGING them to DESIRE LIFE. If they DON'T DO that, THERE is NO WAY they can RECEIVE GOD'S SALVATION. SALVATION is the WORK of GOD HIMSELF, and DESIRE for LIFE is SOMETHING that MAN MUST DO to RECEIVE SALVATION. ☀️ In HUMAN EYES, SALVATION is GOD'S LOVE, and GOD'S LOVE CANNOT BE PUNISHMENTS, JUDGMENTS, and CURSES; SALVATION MUST be accompanied by love, compassion, and in addition, words of comfort, as well as the eternal blessings bestowed by God. People believe that when God saves people, He does so by touching them with His blessings and grace, so that they give their hearts to God. That is, His touching people is His saving them. This type of rescue is done through reconciliation. When God grants them a hundred times, only then will people submit to God's name and strive to do good for Him and bring Him glory. THIS IS NOT GOD'S PURPOSE for MANKIND. GOD CAME TO WORK ON EARTH to SAVE CORRUPTED HUMANITY; there is no lie here. If there was, He certainly did not come to do His work personally. In the past, His way of salvation included a display of ultimate love, so He gave everything to Satan, the brother of all mankind. The PRESENT is NOT the SAME AS the PAST: THE SALVATION GIVEN to YOU NOW HAPPENS DURING the LAST DAYS, WHEN EVERY ONE is SEPARATE BY KIND; the WAY of your SALVATION is NOT LOVE or COMPASSION, BUT PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, so that MAN CAN be more COMPLETELY SAVED. 🙏 THEREFORE, ALL YOU RECEIVE is PUNISHMENT, JUDGMENT, and RUINLESS STRIKES, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS: IN THIS RUINLESS STRIKES THERE is NO LITTLE PUNISHMENT. ☀️ NO MATTER HOW HARM My WORDS ARE, WHAT COMES to YOU ARE JUST A FEW WORDS THAT MAY SEEM COMPLETELY HEARTLESS to YOU, and HOW MUCH My ANGER is, WHAT COMES TO YOU ARE STILL WORDS of TEACHING, and I DON'T INTEND to HURT you or KILL you. ☀️ Isn't this all true? YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AT THIS TIME, WHETHER IT IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OR HEARTLESS REFINING and PUNISHMENT, EVERYTHING os FOR THE SAKE of SALVATION. ☀️ WHETHER it is NOW SEPARATE EACH ONE BY TYPE or EXPOSING CATEGORIES of PEOPLE, the PURPOSE of ALL GOD'S WORDS and WORKS is TO SAVE THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD. RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT is MADE to PURIFY PEOPLE, and HARD REFINEMENT is MADE to PURIFY them; HURTING WORDS or PUNISHMENT are both MADE to PURIFY and for SALVATION.☀️🙏 THEREFORE, the METHOD of SALVATION TODAY is NOT the SAME DAY. NOW YOU ARE SAVED BY RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, and THIS IS A GOOD TOOL to SEPARATE EACH ONE of YOU ACCORDING to KIND. ☀️ Besides, CRUEL PUNISHMENT SERVES your ULTIMATE SALVATION---and what can you say in the face of such chastisement and judgment? Have you not always enjoyed salvation, from beginning to end? You have seen God incarnate and realized His infinite power and wisdom; and besides, you have experienced repeated beatings and discipline. However, have you not also received the greatest grace? Are not your prayers greater than others? YOUR GRACES are even more ABUNDANT than the GLORY and RICHES that SOLOMON ENJOYED!

If my goal was only to punish you, why did I incarnate and start such a big project? CAN'T YOU LOW MORTAL BE PUNISHED FOR JUST SPEAKING ONE WORD? Will I still have to exterminate you after I have deliberately condemned you? Do you still not believe these words of mine? Can I save man only through love and compassion? ☀️ Or can I just use the crucifixion to save people? Isn't My righteous disposition more pleasant to make man completely obedient?

Thank you for your effort and dedication. Concise, condensed, and streamlined. I learned much in a short time from this documentary. More so than I ever had. Cheers.
Ive had liminal dreams of ancient greek architecture my entire life. Always felt a deep connection. Im 34 and just found out im 35% greek so theres something! Such a rich history I've always been obsessed with.
"The Greek language is one of only three, among those now spoken and written in the world, that can boast a continuous written tradition stretching back for more than three thousand years. The others are Chinese and Hebrew." Roderick Beaton, "The Greeks: a global history", New York: Basic books 2021, Preface, pp. 13
Brilliant exploration of ancient Greece! This felt like an immersive ancient history documentary that truly captured the essence of Greek civilization, from its philosophy to its epic battles. Looking forward to more content like this!
Καταπληκτική ιστορική περιγραφή❤ Ευχαριστούμε για το ενδιαφέρον σου για την σημερινή μικρή Ελλάδα που όμως κάποτε υπήρξε κοιτίδα πολιτισμού 🙏 Περίμενα κάποιες ανακρίβειες σχετικά με την νεότερη ιστορία αλλά αποδείχτηκε πως ήσουν πολύ καλά ενημερωμένος. Συγχαρητήρια!!!!
I went to Greece as a teenager and was blown away by the hospitality shown to me and my girlfriend . It changed me profoundly.
Nice experience! I had the same when I visited 30 years ago.
You just don’t get it , do you ?
@@Mmmznznnxnxnnx It was just an aside. I have read quite a bit of greek history . Thanks for the comment.
Such a sweet comment! Thanks for sharing this!
I’ve been to Greece. I was blown away by the rich, ancient history. Awe inspiring.
I had a Greek grandfather, traveled to Greece, One of the best places on our planet. The People are just wonderful.Excellent documentary. Thank you.
Thank you. And I agree. The people are so warm and welcoming to guests.
Plane , ha Magyar ..... ! :)
Was! One of the best places on the planet!
That's what the ancient Macedonians thought too! They built their ancient capital city of Hella there and all was well until the 1500's when the volcano erupted on Santorini island, the violent eruption from this super volcano shook the ground, sent tsunamis and threw lava bombs!
This is why the Macedonians abandoned Hella! And relocated to Pella further east...
The Greeks arrived after this time! While this eruption took place, the Greeks were just escaping from Egyptian slavery, they weren't known as Greeks back then, the word greek means foreigner in Macedonian pronounced Greytsi which is where the Roman Latin word Grecian comes from!
The account of the arrival of the Greeks/foreigners in Europe is documented in the bible, the book of exodus! They were known as the Israelites until they were conquered by King Philip II and were thus called greci pronounced Greytsi... Even during the Roman Empire, the Greeks who were taken into Roman slavery and completed their slavery contract, they were given the title of Greco Roman's..... No other race of people got a special title.... Because they were different to everyone else!
So either this documentary was really badly researched or it's pure propaganda?
I've always found the history of Eastern Europe to be both fascinating and underappreciated. From Stefen Nemanja in Serbia to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos in Byzantium, it's an adventure learning. I'm from a Chinese civilisation so learning about other cultures as old or older than mine is exciting. Most fascinating is how Greece have survived as individual city states and never lost their culture despite being dominated by both the Latin Romans and Ottoman Turks. That is strength and pride!
Much love to the people of Greece from Taiwan 🇬🇷❤🇹🇼
Thank you, and yes, you make some very good points!
We Greeks have tremendous respect for the enormity and depth of Chinese history and culture. We also understand, from firsthand experience, how fragile and beautiful democracy is - wishing Taiwan every strength in its continued independence! 🇬🇷🇹🇼
I’d call it South Eastern Europe or the Balkans
Thanks friend, and just a little note, we Greeks get a little touchy when being referred to as being a part of Eastern Europe (which is culturally different) :) We classify ourselves as belonging to South Eastern Europe geographically, or Mediterranean culturally. Love Taiwan by the way!
@@BlackadderFunk Balkans have nothing to do with Eastern Europe...culturally,genetically,historically...they are part of Southern Europe,just it's Eastern part...like Great Britain is part of Northern Europe...just it's Western part.
My fiance and I spent 5 weeks in Greece, and it was truly so magical, every part of it. Even in Athens, as busy as it was, everyone was friendly and you never felt in danger (just keep your backpack on your chest - LOL iykyk).
We traveled down the Peloponnese peninsula, seeing Mystras and Monemvasia. We drove through so many beautiful mountains and fruit groves between destinations. The history in every place we went to was astounding. We also went up to Meteora, and some of the Sporades.
Crete was one of my favourites. So interesting to see the clash of Byzantine and Ottoman influence on the island, while they still hold a cultural identity and pride in their ancient Greek past.
Excellent video!!
Thank you! Yes Greece is beautiful.
As a Greek myself, I can say that this is the first video which encompasses all the most basic information in less than an hour, and it's explaining everything it does need to explain in the most necessary essence. Astonishing documentary, with excellent choice of pictures and videos. God bless you 👑
P.S. In modern Greek, it's also called Ελλάς (Ellas, without the "H" sound that is the result of the spiritus asper)
Thank you so much for that considered comment! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I don't know anyone else who has attempted to span the whole of Greek history in just 1 hour!
@@Geodiode Well, you made it, and in a very nice manner. Props to you! Do you plan on doing history documentaries near in the future?
@Geodiode I start to hear this presentation and I already put a like because it's Greece, the most beautiful country in the world (where I wish to die one day ahead) but also because it is possible to choose different languages in subtitles. I really hope I find the very same video in Greek afterwoods with at least greek subtitles (and others) so that I can improve my knowledge of this language. Thanks a lot already. Alain from Namur "acropolis" Belgium.
I am a turistical guide here in several languages and I wish to prepare a visit in Greek (very likely for nobody but myself as I have no greek friend)😂😢.
Truly outstanding.
@@alainpamart Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll make some good friends once you get here 😊
Greece has influenced this world too much. In literature, mathematics, democracy, culture, architecture. We can't imagine our earth without greece. Love greece from India 🇮🇳❤️🇬🇷
None of any of those things had anything to do with the Greeks!
There's no ancient Greece! I'm sure that you were taught that Greece was ancient but the fact is that the word Greece popped up in the 1800'sAD....
Therefore you can't say ancient and Greece together in one sentence!
You are or was taught to confuse the Greeks and the Macedonians, two different people!
During the time of Alexander The Great, the Greeks existed as a minority! Uneducated people who learnt the advanced Macedonian Slavic alphabet which they are still using today and only because they were taught by the British and French linguists who were working on decoding the Rosetta Stone and incorrectly believed that it was written in greek, the Greeks couldn't read it! They were largely illiterate! Just as they were when they turned up in Europe after 1500bce, by the 400's BCE, King Philip II went and conquered them....
And they remained conquered by the Macedonian empire fell to the Romans and finally the ottomans, it was only until the fall of the ottomans that the Greeks had the opportunity to be free!
The Greeks just never had any time to achieve anything great!
Democracy was a Macedonian invention, none of these so called greek scholar's were greek! Having books translated into greek from Macedonian doesn't make them greek!
The Romans did a good job of erasing history, the Etruscans, the Carthaginians, the Macedonian, they collapsed the Egyptian Monarchy... And who knows what other damage they have done....
It took a huge empire to support Alexander The Great to travel all the way to India! The mighty Macedonian king and warrior spread the Slavic language and culture everywhere which is why the Slavic language is the most common spoken language in Europe! And also why it's not a Greek language! A minority language that shows up in a tiny abandoned corner of Europe and never went anywhere! They write with an ancient Macedonian alphabet, they use many Slavic Macedonian words spoken with a Spanish/Jewish accent.... Apparently they invented everything while conquering the world, none of which there is any real evidence!
So you are thanking the wrong people.....
@@PeterMilanovski are u Macedonian?
@@SushanthM-pv2sk yes I am, but don't think for a minute that I have a conflict of interest!
I'm not interested in promoting nationalism! Not you nor I can take credit for what our ancient ancestors did!
Knowing what actually happened makes me happy! I searched for the truth because the more I look into greek history, the more it doesn't make sense! But everyone talks about how great the Greeks were and what they achieved and invented.. but when you begin to dig a bit deeper, nothing fits together!
Like I already mentioned about the Greeks alphabet and how they are still using the ancient Macedonians Slavic koine alphabet.... Tell me, which alphabet were the Greeks using before it? You can look but you won't find anything! This once great and powerful civilization that apparently conquered the world can't show you how their own alphabet evolved! Really?
The Macedonians are on their third evolution of their alphabet.... The first one was a Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit, then came the koine alphabet and both can be seen used on the Rosetta Stone.... It was believed that the middle text was Egyptian demotic but has been deciphered since....
And you can tell when a nation of people are in fact ancient, their alphabet shows it!
While the koine alphabet is considered ancient, it's relatively new compared to Sanskrit which the Greeks do not possess!
The actual ancient civilizations that still exist today are India, China, Egypt, Palestine and Macedonia... These were the world's super powers of their day!
I'm telling you, if you start to learn everything about greek history and make sure that everything fits within everything else, you too will begin finding problems, the more you look, the more you find!
The word greek in Macedonian means foreigners! The Macedonians say Grejci pronounced Greytsi, Grey means come and together with tsi means commers! Ie foreigners....
When Macedonia fell to the Romans, they adopted the Macedonian word grejci pronounced Greytsi and got Greco and Grecian....
When you pronounce both words, they literally sound the same! The modern English word greek was adapted from the Latin Roman word for greek and the Greeks don't even know it! They think that the name means something great which is exactly what they want to hear!
Think about it, the Macedonians made it all the way to India! What sort of a nation would you need behind you to achieve this?
Is it any surprise that the majority of Europe speaks a Slavic dialect? But wait! If the Macedonians were greek and Alexander The Great spoke greek, shouldn't Europe be speaking some sort of greek dialect instead?
Like I said, greek history doesn't make sense! It just doesn't work!
If Macedonia was greek, and the Spartans and Corinthians were greek but today there are no Spartans or Corinthians because there's just Greeks, and the ancient Macedonians who were so powerful, why would the Macedonians need a Greek identity also? Apparently there's no more Macedonians even though they were so powerful but the Greeks survived? How? Every single Macedonian dies out but the Greeks survived? Does not make sense!
Always ask questions!
History is not about making you feel important because of something that you did not do! History is about what actually happened! Good or bad! Always remember to search for the truth!
@@SushanthM-pv2sk He is a Slav. Only Slavic people who think they (falsely) identify as "Macedonian" can say such nonsense. They literally try to fantasize away 5 golden ages of Greece spanning many many thousands of years with zero facts, zero evidence, zero anything.
They think that because Greece wasn't a modern state like in 1821, Greece has never existed. Like India and China as a state exists only since 1949 and 1950, so they didn't have anything before that. Can you imagine what kind of intellect one must have to say such completely absurd things? It's hilarious
But the reality is that Slavic people migrated from a regions that is now in Russia, to East Europe in the 7-8th Century AD, and they arrived 1000 years later after Alexander the Great in a region in the NORTH of Greece, and therefor in the north of the region Macedonia.
In Conclusion.
*The region that Slavic people today call "North Macedonia" was called Vardarska Banovina 50 years, ago. But in Ancient Greece, this was a non-Greek land called Paeonia. And in Medieval times this same region was called Dardania. So. In conclusion. Slavic people who falsely fantasize they are Macedonians, are 1000 years too late, and migrated to the wrong land. Go figure*
Lastly. Anyone can research the following:
1. The origin and founding of Macedonia by the Argead Dynasty which originates from Peloponnese 3000 years ago
2. The most popular symbol, the Vergina Sun Symbol, is the most Greek symbol there is and was in use all over Ancient Greece. So the emblem of Macedonia was literally the most Greek symbol in existence. The 16 and 12 star Vergina Sun Symbol represents the 12 Olympian gods, and the 4 elements.
3. The land that these Slavic people live on, was a non-Greek region called Paeonia in Ancient times and Dardania in Medieval times.
*These 3 points alone completely annihilates every possible perspective of Slavic fantasy of Macedonia. Macedonia is exclusively Greek and has been for 3000 years since it's foundings till this day*
Meanwhile. A slav can only keep crying with absolute zero facts. mehhh meeeeehhh, meheeeeeeeehghhhhhhhhhhh
Zero arguments, zero facts, zero archaeology, zero linguistics, zero science. Everything is completely against them. And yet they insist they are connected to Alexander. A complete hoke
@@SushanthM-pv2sk. Spot on!

So you have been a tourist for the last 12 years!
What do you do! Keep renewing your visa?
@PeterMilanovski I don't know how it is in your country brother, but when you are Greek no matter where you are or where you live you are always above all Greek, and no we don't need to renew a visa to come back. Our home is always there for us!!
I'm glad that the country of Greece continues to live on to this day with all of its history, culture, legacy and people.
fake history false people believe in Lies
Not really. The culture of the ancient Greeks is gone, and only scant remnants of medieval (easter romans/byzantine) culture still lives since they were occupied by Turks for 400 yrs. People also mixed in with Italians, bulgarians, Norman's, Turks, Arabs, and more.
It's not really Greece though. It's a completely different thing that simply uses the same name
@@sterlingcampbell2116with your logic everyone is fake because literally anyone lives everywhere. Greatest example the Monkeycans
@@sterlingcampbell2116 And what that may be?
I am watching this from Volos as an American that lives in Spain. Greece is a mellifluous country everywhere I have been, from Xania to Naxos to Thessaloniki. I just finished reading 3 books by Kazantzakis and am nearing the halfway mark of “Biography of a Modern Nation” by Roderick Beaton. Your video is accentuating everything I’m learning and imbibing, and I thank you very much.
Thanks!
As a Greek, this video has just risen to the absolute top of my list of documentaries made about Greek history! I am astonished by the elegance of writing, thorough yet accessible presentation style, and pitch-perfect analysis of events. How you’ve managed to do this in under an hour is incredible. A truly flawless production. Thank you for your work, you’ve just won a new fan!
Thank you very, very much Maverick! It's comments like this that keep me motivated. Especially after reading other comments not so nice, or just plain ignorant! Glad you found it!
Your words reflect my feeling as well, very well said. This is an incredible production, and especially the commentary, it is brilliant. The scenes selected are stunning. I am forwarding to all my Greek relatives and friends, it is very uplifting for us to see this excellent documentary.
@@vickidrakopoulou1591 thank you so much Vicki (Geodiode)
This is a top documentary. Thank you.
Some people are not happy with this strong historical remembrance and conscience of the Greeks. They resent that. In a way, I can understand that. Because at times it can be intimidating. Sometimes I myself can‘t believe how old and strong this Greek culture still is. But when you drive up the Lycabettos hill and watch the Acropolis against the background of the Aegean Sea, when you walk through the beautiful landscape of Delphi and see the sacred temples, when you visit the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul and attend the service in the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, then you will feel this unique sentiment of living history. It is all still there under the shining light of the mediterranean sun. This makes me feel so humble and proud at the same time because humans have done all this. It is the cultural heritage of our human race.
@@dorothy-z lies of church can’t be always the best now the history needs to listen the other side of the story we herd you for so many years of your beautiful Disneyland antiquity of a Greece with marbles and ruins that majority are handmade in church and half stolen form graves of Illyrians and all the Ancient Greek is called pelag which spoke all the same

@@evanhi450all land is stolen land
well said Dorothy, excellent use of words that created a strong emotion that only Hellenes can feel and share it with the rest of world, exactly because Hellenism is all about universal values, unfortunately we are surrounded by really fanatical and envious people but we will prevail in the end as we have done again and again for millennia, be well
Great presentation. I'm currently learning Greek. There are so many words in English and Spanish that are derived from Greek, I'm having a great time learning. Seeing how human history is, I'm confident in saying that one day in the future, the traditional parts of Greece that are being held by turkey will eventually return to their rightful owners. What we are living is only a blip in history, but Greece is eternal.
Glad you liked the video, and good luck in your language learning!
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man"
(God Came to Work on Earth to save Corrupt mankind. The present is not the same as the past. The salvation granted today occurs during the last day, when everyone is separated according to type)
Almighty God said
Now God is judging you, chastising you, and punishing you, but you need to know that the point of punishing you is for you to know yourself. He is PUNISHING, JUDGING, and PUNISHING so that you KNOW YOURSELF, to CHANGE YOUR DISPOSITION, and in addition, so that you KNOW YOUR VALUE, and SEE THAT ALL OF GOD'S ACTIONS ARE RIGHTEOUS and IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS DISPOSITION and It is necessary in His WORK, that He WORKS ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN for MAN'S SALVATION, and that He is the RIGHTEOUS GOD who LOVES, SAVES, JUDGES, and PUNISHES MAN. 🙏
If you only KNOW that YOUR STATUS IS LOW, that YOU ARE CORRUPT and DISOBEDIENT, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT GOD WANTS TO MAKE HIS SALVATION CLEAR THROUGH the JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT HE DOES TO YOU NOW, YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GET EXPERIENCE, especially you have NO ABILITY to CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. GOD DID NOT COME TO KILL or DESTROY, BUT TO JUDGE, CURSE, CHASSIS, and SAVE. ☀️
UNTIL His 6,000 year GOVERNMENT PLAN is COMPLETED---BEFORE He REVEALS the OUTCOME of EVERY CATEGORY of HUMANS---GOD'S WORK on EARTH is FOR SALVATION, IT'S PURPOSE is ONLY to MAKE it PERFECT---COMPLETELY ---those who LOVE Him and SUBJECT to His RULE. HOWEVER GOD SAVES PEOPLE, IT DOES ALL BY IDENTIFYING them in their OLD SATANIC NATURE; that is, He SAVES them THROUGH ENCOURAGING them to DESIRE LIFE.
If they DON'T DO that, THERE is NO WAY they can RECEIVE GOD'S SALVATION. SALVATION is the WORK of GOD HIMSELF, and DESIRE for LIFE is SOMETHING that MAN MUST DO to RECEIVE SALVATION. ☀️
In HUMAN EYES, SALVATION is GOD'S LOVE, and GOD'S LOVE CANNOT BE PUNISHMENTS, JUDGMENTS, and CURSES; SALVATION MUST be accompanied by love, compassion, and in addition, words of comfort, as well as the eternal blessings bestowed by God.
People believe that when God saves people, He does so by touching them with His blessings and grace, so that they give their hearts to God. That is, His touching people is His saving them.
This type of rescue is done through reconciliation. When God grants them a hundred times, only then will people submit to God's name and strive to do good for Him and bring Him glory.
THIS IS NOT GOD'S PURPOSE for MANKIND. GOD CAME TO WORK ON EARTH to SAVE CORRUPTED HUMANITY; there is no lie here.
If there was, He certainly did not come to do His work personally.
In the past, His way of salvation included a display of ultimate love, so He gave everything to Satan, the brother of all mankind.
The PRESENT is NOT the SAME AS the PAST: THE SALVATION GIVEN to YOU NOW HAPPENS DURING the LAST DAYS, WHEN EVERY ONE is SEPARATE BY KIND; the WAY of your SALVATION is NOT LOVE or COMPASSION, BUT PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, so that MAN CAN be more COMPLETELY SAVED. 🙏
THEREFORE, ALL YOU RECEIVE is PUNISHMENT, JUDGMENT, and RUINLESS STRIKES, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS: IN THIS RUINLESS STRIKES THERE is NO LITTLE PUNISHMENT. ☀️
NO MATTER HOW HARM My WORDS ARE, WHAT COMES to YOU ARE JUST A FEW WORDS THAT MAY SEEM COMPLETELY HEARTLESS to YOU, and HOW MUCH My ANGER is, WHAT COMES TO YOU ARE STILL WORDS of TEACHING, and I DON'T INTEND to HURT you or KILL you. ☀️
Isn't this all true?
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AT THIS TIME, WHETHER IT IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OR HEARTLESS REFINING and PUNISHMENT, EVERYTHING os FOR THE SAKE of
SALVATION. ☀️
WHETHER it is NOW SEPARATE EACH ONE BY TYPE or EXPOSING CATEGORIES of PEOPLE, the PURPOSE of ALL GOD'S WORDS and WORKS is TO SAVE THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD. RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT is MADE to PURIFY PEOPLE, and HARD REFINEMENT is MADE to PURIFY them; HURTING WORDS or PUNISHMENT are both MADE to PURIFY and for SALVATION.☀️🙏
THEREFORE, the METHOD of SALVATION TODAY is NOT the SAME DAY.
NOW YOU ARE SAVED BY RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, and THIS IS A GOOD TOOL to SEPARATE EACH ONE of YOU ACCORDING to KIND. ☀️
Besides, CRUEL PUNISHMENT SERVES your ULTIMATE SALVATION---and what can you say in the face of such chastisement and judgment?
Have you not always enjoyed salvation, from beginning to end?
You have seen God incarnate and realized His infinite power and wisdom; and besides, you have experienced repeated beatings and discipline.
However, have you not also received the greatest grace? Are not your prayers greater than others?
YOUR GRACES are even more ABUNDANT than the GLORY and RICHES that SOLOMON ENJOYED! Think about this:
If My purpose in coming was to judge and punish you instead of saving you, would your life have lasted? ☀️
Are you still alive, sinful creatures of flesh and blood?
If my goal was only to punish you, why did I incarnate and start such a big project?
CAN'T YOU LOW MORTAL BE PUNISHED FOR JUST SPEAKING ONE WORD? Will I still have to exterminate you after I have deliberately condemned you?
Do you still not believe these words of mine? Can I save man only through love and compassion? ☀️
Or can I just use the crucifixion to save people?
Isn't My righteous disposition more pleasant to make man completely obedient? Is it not more capable of completely saving man? 🙏

Greece has experienced numerous cycles of growth and decline throughout its five-millennia existence.

Best of luck with your future endeavors and may your channel thrive!

Lol I seen one of those racist moor videos on here that said that Plato was in fact black lol. People like that get mad that their own culture throughout history isn’t as rich as white peoples lol. But we can’t help that lol that’s just the way things are.
I mean man…. They are some crazy conspiracy theorists, saying that white people have hid the “truth about black civilizations throughout history”. And I couldn’t help but make a comment
Saying…. You must’ve been really sad during your history lessons growing up, it really hit you right in your soul to learn that all of the most successful civilizations throughout history are of white cultures.
And now you have to say “that’s ours and we did that”. Saying stuff like Black people were in America first, Black people built the pyramids, black people taught white people how to bathe. And how to be civilized…. It’s really hard to bite your tongue when someone is attacking your culture lol. But I couldn’t help myself and saying that it’s the year 2023 and most of Africa is still throwing spears at wild animals….. I rest my case. But no it’s all a big conspiracy…. They shove this MOOR talk down everyone’s throats.
What’s your opinion on the MOOR’s and what comes to mind when those same people make wild, unfounded, ridiculous, claims like that about cultures of years past?
Like you can’t change history just to make yourself more proud of your race… 🤷🏼♂️ 🧐

This type of rescue is done through reconciliation. When God grants them a hundred times, only then will people submit to God's name and strive to do good for Him and bring Him glory.
THIS IS NOT GOD'S PURPOSE for MANKIND. GOD CAME TO WORK ON EARTH to SAVE CORRUPTED HUMANITY; there is no lie here.
If there was, He certainly did not come to do His work personally.
In the past, His way of salvation included a display of ultimate love, so He gave everything to Satan, the brother of all mankind.
The PRESENT is NOT the SAME AS the PAST: THE SALVATION GIVEN to YOU NOW HAPPENS DURING the LAST DAYS, WHEN EVERY ONE is SEPARATE BY KIND; the WAY of your SALVATION is NOT LOVE or COMPASSION, BUT PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, so that MAN CAN be more COMPLETELY SAVED. 🙏
THEREFORE, ALL YOU RECEIVE is PUNISHMENT, JUDGMENT, and RUINLESS STRIKES, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS: IN THIS RUINLESS STRIKES THERE is NO LITTLE PUNISHMENT. ☀️
NO MATTER HOW HARM My WORDS ARE, WHAT COMES to YOU ARE JUST A FEW WORDS THAT MAY SEEM COMPLETELY HEARTLESS to YOU, and HOW MUCH My ANGER is, WHAT COMES TO YOU ARE STILL WORDS of TEACHING, and I DON'T INTEND to HURT you or KILL you. ☀️
Isn't this all true?
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AT THIS TIME, WHETHER IT IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OR HEARTLESS REFINING and PUNISHMENT, EVERYTHING os FOR THE SAKE of
SALVATION. ☀️
WHETHER it is NOW SEPARATE EACH ONE BY TYPE or EXPOSING CATEGORIES of PEOPLE, the PURPOSE of ALL GOD'S WORDS and WORKS is TO SAVE THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD. RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT is MADE to PURIFY PEOPLE, and HARD REFINEMENT is MADE to PURIFY them; HURTING WORDS or PUNISHMENT are both MADE to PURIFY and for SALVATION.☀️🙏
THEREFORE, the METHOD of SALVATION TODAY is NOT the SAME DAY.
NOW YOU ARE SAVED BY RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, and THIS IS A GOOD TOOL to SEPARATE EACH ONE of YOU ACCORDING to KIND. ☀️
Besides, CRUEL PUNISHMENT SERVES your ULTIMATE SALVATION---and what can you say in the face of such chastisement and judgment?
Have you not always enjoyed salvation, from beginning to end?
You have seen God incarnate and realized His infinite power and wisdom; and besides, you have experienced repeated beatings and discipline.
However, have you not also received the greatest grace? Are not your prayers greater than others?
YOUR GRACES are even more ABUNDANT than the GLORY and RICHES that SOLOMON ENJOYED! Think about this:
If My purpose in coming was to judge and punish you instead of saving you, would your life have lasted? ☀️
Are you still alive, sinful creatures of flesh and blood?
If my goal was only to punish you, why did I incarnate and start such a big project?
CAN'T YOU LOW MORTAL BE PUNISHED FOR JUST SPEAKING ONE WORD? Will I still have to exterminate you after I have deliberately condemned you?
Do you still not believe these words of mine? Can I save man only through love and compassion? ☀️
Or can I just use the crucifixion to save people?
Isn't My righteous disposition more pleasant to make man completely obedient? Is it not more capable of completely saving man? 🙏

I went to Athens Greece in July and loved it. The nicest men i've ever met! It felt so surreal to be surrounded by, and see the culture that inspired my art for years.
Greece ! My God a miracle of culture and the true root of western society ! Magnificent, magic and yet solid and resident and still with us ! As a historian and a preservationist of all the ancient civilizations Greece will always be one the most amazing to me ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so amazed how the people of Crete developed such exquisite art using their maritime connections for the best gold and beautiful gems, all with nature’s rounded themes. Thousands of years and to me ( I used to think I was an artist) the most beautiful creations in my taste.
I reduced myself to a crafts person now.😮
I love you so much, my ancient world! Greece. Thank you so much for your details.❤❤❤
Wow what an exceptional video!!! What a treat to watch. This video actually brings tears to my eyes 😭😭🥰🥰🥰 it's crazy, I don't know why it makes me so emotional but I think it shows you did a wonderful job in portraying Greece's story and history. I love the breakdown into different chapters and I really love the shots of Meteora in here. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in to create this piece of art. Thank you, you're so amazing 💕 Ζητώ η Ελλάδα 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 Ευχαριστώ φίλε μου. Χαίρομαι!!!
I'm glad you liked it! Yes, it is an emotional story. Like a Greek Tragedy! Many high points, but many sad moments. You're welcome in your thanks. Now, over to you and your big Greek family to help it go viral, and spread the glory of Greece once more! Ευχαριστώ!
Thank you, great video .
As a Greek living abroad I'm saying thank you for your wonderful and educational work!
It was a nice journey for me thinking of my school years and the history classes, back then I found history pretty boring but you made it pretty fascinating in your video!
Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to your other videos but I'm already a fan of your channel! :-)
Thank you Ioannis! I'm glad it reminded you of your home, and brought some magic back into your amazing history.
It is really interesting how you can see Greek ruins to the East, Greek philosophy and science to the West, and Greek culture, customs, music and religion to the North in the Slavic world. Truly a magnificent story
Yes it is!
@@Geodiode in fact even this channel's name, Geodiode, is a mix of three Greek words. Geo- comes from Gaia/Gē meaning earth/land/soil, di- comes from dia, which means through/divided by, and -ode comes from odos, meaning road/way. Therefore, Geodiode means "the way through the earth", the way to understand/discover the earth
@@georgios_5342 thank you! I hadn't thought about the Greek origin of the suffix. I guess inadvertently I was quite clever! :D
And the Turkish Janissaries (the people of Turkey today who converted to Islam a long time ago or in the past 100 years) insist certain foods and inventions are of Turkish origin.
I'm Turkish and I really liked the holistic approach you presented in this video, very much appreciated!
An EXCELLENT presentation of a very special nation that has shaped the western culture as any other! Fine art, filosophy, arquitecture, sports, sculture, painting, discoveries... we can't imagine how special is Greece to the humanity! Thanks a lot for prepare such a stunning episode!
Thanks again Richard!
You’re welcome!
I would SO ❤love to visit Greece….
Perhaps some of us are unaware that so-called white people have no history and are incapable of inventing culture. If white people have a history then where is it? I am an historian of world class pedigree and I assure you that socalled white people have only been on the planet for six to ten thousand years according to science and are NOT human precluding them from any discussion of human origins or civilization. This is not a dig. I'm just not on the side of white supremacist scholarship. There was and never will be a time in history when white people will be civilized. They are incapable of it. Their so-called history is based in savagery, genocide, and stealing from Israelites. I e.Black people. White people cannot live without having a parasitic relationship with Black people. 👊🏿🕎🏹⚔️🌽
@bastiat because that is a subject for the Turkey video. And it will be given the full coverage it deserves at that time. This is a video about Greece.
From the bottom of my greek heart, thank you. It is the least to say to a foreigner who put his time and effort to compile thousands of years of a nation's history into a one-hour video and present it in such eloquent and neat way. Magnificent and astounding. Well done friend
Thank you so much Nikos - that means a great deal! Appreciate it!
@@Geodiodeit seems you have worked too much on that. Too much appreciated by the Greeks. 💙🤍
I love Greece and I love ancient history!! Very cool video
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I like Greece history. It shaped the world into how the world is today.
What a remarkable presentation! Thank you!
Ευχαριστώ!
🙏🏻🇬🇷
Parakalo! You're welcome!
This is a piece of decent storytelling itself. Great production, look forward to watching you grow because you certainly will!
Thanks so much Sam. Yes, instead of just parroting facts like Wikipedia (it's there to do that, so not a criticism), I like to tell the story of a nation, not just in its history, but in the other aspects too. I'm glad you appreciate that, and yes, the next target is 500k. Welcome aboard, and thanks for the sub! It'll be a helluva ride!
As a Greek American, I absolutely loved the reverence shown for Greece's history and culture. You have a tremendous ability to boil down ~2,500 years of history into just one hour. One critical thing that I think was missed was the Greek Pontian and Armenian genocide that occurred 1919-1922. The video made it seem like a somewhat peaceful transfer of population but in reality it was a horrific and explicit genocide by Ataturk. Otherwise, incredible recollection.
and I cant wait to share this!
Thanks so much and I really appreciate your kind words. Regarding the events of 1919-22, I do understand your point of view, but I can only go with the "official" history, otherwise my channel becomes... something else.
Now is official In 2007 the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) officially recognized the Greek Genocide, along with the Assyrian Genocide.
Cyprus was the first country to recognize the Genocide after Greece, by a decision of the House of Representatives on May 19, 1994, and since then it has been commemorating the victims.
In addition to these, the Genocide has been recognized by Sweden on March 11, 2021, Armenia in March 2015, along with the Assyrian genocide, and the Netherlands, along with the Armenian and Assyrian genocide, on April 9, 2015.
In addition, there are states in America that recognize the Genocide. These are the following:
New York, May 19, 2002
New Jersey, September 2, 2002
Columbia, December 8, 2002
South Carolina, January 10, 2003
Georgia, February 3, 2003
Pennsylvania, December 12, 2003
Florida, April 20, 2005
Cleveland, May 11, 2005
Rhode Island, 2008
Indiana, December 2014
South Dakota, February 26, 2015
West Virginia, April 24, 2016
But also the following Australian states:
South Australia, 30 April 2009
New South Wales. On May 1, 2013, the Senate, and on May 12, the Parliament recognized the Genocide of the Eastern Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians.
From Canada, the Genocide is recognized by Toronto with a resolution on May 4, 2016, as well as the cities of Montreal, Ottawa, LaSalle, Oshawa, and the departments of Laval and Villeray St. Michel Park Extension, as well as the Municipal Councils of the cities of Vancouver and Regina. Canada as a country, however, does not officially recognize the Genocide. @@Geodiode
@@JokerX350ah yes, but 1914 - 1922… September 1922 were when the fires of Smyrna occurred
@@kapelosVasilisyes exactly this. It is and has been increasingly recognized as official history
I noticed a couple of things in this video. You were not talking at an excruciatingly slow pace, nor a crazy fast pace. You have phenomenal diction and are clear with your words. This video is sectioned out in an organized manner and is clear and concise with its presentation. The presentation is also academic, rather than meme-ish. You used valid, current quotes, images, and research to support your claims while keeping your storyline going (you don’t lose yourself in the proof.) What an excellent video! Clear, understandable, organized, and well formatted. Props 🫶🏻😁
Awesome presentation. Im visiting Greece for the first time in july. Very timely. Well done! Much better than telly!
Have fun!
we use to say ,,,,,sometimes foreigners are more greek than greeks ,,,,you proved it here with the most excellent video i ve ever seen about my country ,,,thank you
Haha - yes it's true. You have many Philhellenes in the West - we owe you a debt of gratitude after 2,500 years. It's our way of repaying you ;)
Nonsense
i dont reply to nicknames i use my full name in every comment but here i will ...we were building parthenon when your ancestors were living in caves
Great overview of Greek history that covers just the right subjects. Very helpful. By the way, Paul was an apostle, but not one of the twelve apostles.
Glad you liked it. Thanks! Re: Paul - I'm not a Christian, so forgive me if I struggle sometimes with the nuances of terminology in that area.
Thank you for explaining so well you are awesome 👏 bravo 👏 job well done 👍 ❤❤❤Congratulations.
ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΟ...the best I have seen for greece in you tube
Efaristo!
Beautiful video and exceptionally concise. Born in Pireas with roots from. Asia Minor and the Ionian island of Ithaca. So proud of my country.
So your (great?)-grandparents were a part of the 1923 exchange?
@@Geodiode my grandparents
Thank you. This video really goes to the heart of it. That Greek history didn’t stop at the fall of Greek cities to Rome. It continued through the ages, particularly as the Eastern Roman Empire which was Greek speaking and Greek Orthodox. We have to “thank” Gibbons for developing the English academic loathing of later and eastern Roman history - “Byzantine” - which only now is being challenged. Another point is the idea of “Roman” rather than Greek history in Anatolia. Modern Turkish propaganda states that nearly every excavation they uncover in Anatolia is “Roman”. They constantly deny that the cities of Anatolia were Greek, spoke Greek before Roman conquest and continued to be Greek through classical Roman and later eastern Roman periods. These areas remained Greek through the ottoman era and only when 1.5 million Greeks were driven out of Anatolia in 1922/23 (many thousands murdered) was this connection severed. The point I make is that Greek history - all of its stages - has to be defended against those who would deny it and the ignorant tourists who wouldn’t know any better and go along with the idea that, for example, Ephesus was a Roman city or Antioch was a Roman city. I’m sick of finding the internet full of “useful idiots”.
Thanks very much for that detailed commentary, Jim. Many years ago, I read Gibbon Books 1-3 (to the end of the Western Empire), and tried to get through Book 4 in the hope of completing all 6 but he lost me after Justinian... the connection with the West, and what we Westerners *can* connect with was more or less broken at that time, only to be reconnected properly after 1830.
Thank Mr. Gibbons and on my behalf for writing a history in which only British collaborationists participate. How was it concluded that Greek was spoken in the Eastern Roman Empire? If the Greeks were so important in that empire, why wasn't a single emperor Greek? If the Greeks are such a powerful nation, why didn't they choose their own king after the formation, instead they brought Otto Friedrich Ludwig, Prince of Bavaria. Even today, they wave the Bavarian flag and shout that it is Greece. And everyone forgets to mention the Greek genocide and the expulsion of Slavic and other tribes after the Greek-Turkish war.
@@srdjanbasaric517 Actually there is a think in east roman empire that it isn t greek. From Agia Sofìa, + the New Testament.... , to the last emperor.. educate you self. Genocide of slavs 😂😂😂 when they were always against greeks -from where slavs took everythink - and until now ,they want a part of Greece or a part from great greek history?
Wonderful work ! Greeks are amazing people ❤️ 🇬🇷
Yes that's right!
Proud to be Greek Macedon! Greetings from Thessaloniki! ;)
@@voskreglavincevska7080😂 you are humiliated yourself trying to claim that you have connection with the ancient greek kingdom of Macedonia

Republic of North Macedonia : your language is Slavic, your flag is Japanese with McDonald's colours, your name is Greek and your heroes ethnic Bulgarians. What a travesty😅
@@voskreglavincevska7080 Macedonia (/ˌmæsɪˈdoʊniə/ ⓘ MASS-ih-DOH-nee-ə; Greek: Μακεδονία), also called Macedon (/ˈmæsɪdɒn/ MASS-ih-don), was an ancient kingdom on the periphery of Archaic and Classical Greece,[6] which later became the dominant state of Hellenistic Greece.[7] The kingdom was founded and initially ruled by the royal Argead dynasty, which was followed by the Antipatrid and Antigonid dynasties. Home to the ancient Macedonians, the earliest kingdom was centered on the northeastern part of the Greek peninsula,[8]

Thanks so much Thompson!
Absolutely right ☺️☺️
Amazing job. Anyone who is Greek is grateful for your effort!. Amazing job. Anyone who is Greek is grateful for your effort!.
Thank you v much!
As a Greek,I thank you for this accurate journey through history. Congratulations.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Bravo! Well done. As a Greek Canadian I never really knew the details of Greek history. I know so much more now and you made it easy. I will watch it again and again until I absorb it all and I will recommend it to friends. Excellent work. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate that. Yes, I try to make it "easy" so it can reach a wider audience. Thanks for the sub, and thanks for sharing to others!
Great video. Excited about the geography of Greece. Actually that is how I found this channel years ago, while searching mediterrean climate on UA-cam.
Thanks shevket! You're one of my climate pioneers ☺️
Beautiful video from a Greek born in minor Asia Constantinople the only thing you forgot to mention, the Greeks were not the only expelled and they suffer the consequences of the sward a few millions of them. Thank you.
Greece has been my home for over two decades, I really enjoyed your video and was happy to subscribe. Keep up the great work, thank you!
Thank you Nadia! And you're welcome!
Beautiful great country amaizing Grece thank you
I like it because it has an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Thanks!!!
I used teaching to pay my travel adventures many moons ago and taught a lot of different nationalities, but the Greek school kids stood out among all of them, completely different attitude to learning and to their teachers...
Interesting, you've had quite a life! What was different about the Greek schoolkids?
@@Geodiode Unlike others, it seemed it was in their DNA to learn and they loved and respected teachers - others rebel and it's more a case of psychology or policing! I've been in schools where you had to wipe the smile off your face before going in the door because the kids saw a smile as an indication to lose focus and play up and distract from lessons - with the Greek kids in the 3 schools I was in, you could smile and learn and have fun. Education was natural to them [!] and they were proud of their Greek philosophers, the others wouldn't really know they existed [!]
@@maryodonnell5760 fascinating. There are some kids like that in British schools, but most just want to act up and rile the teacher, especially if he is a poor one. I was guilty of that too, but I always respected my good teachers and behaved in their lessons.
@@Geodiode LOL even you! Well, yes,it goes both ways - good teachers wasted on bad students and good students wasted on bad teachers, but you nailed it with 'most just want to act up and rile the teacher' - the difference is with the Greeks it was not just the honours kids that were 'good'. Most of my teachers were terrible at school, this is why I'm enjoying your channel now!
@@maryodonnell5760 it's encouraging to hear about Greece. I know the modern state has had a lot of troubles, but your comments about the kids give me hope. And yes "even me" ;) But I was discriminating in who I was naughty with. I gave credit (and respect) where credit was due! :)
Absolutely well done. Amazing video!
Thanks a lot!
im not even finished watching it yet but just gotta say im immeasurably excited, for years ive contemplated making an hour-ish video compiling\summarizing all of crete's history and this has gotten me so hyped i think im actually going to do it now! lol thanks for the motivation! Also love that you put greek text in each chapters title. Something ive come to the conlcusion of as a greek american gal who likes to read about and contemplate/debate history is if there is one constant element/thing that unifies all greek peoples the most throughout various faiths, descents, places on the map, place in time, etc. it's the writing hands down
Thank you so much veraxiana! I totally agree about the incredible persistence and consistency of the alphabet, that it's been basically the same since 402BC. Even Chinese has changed in that time in terms of its glyphs, and of course the Latin alphabet has had letters added and removed for the various European languages.
I wish you the very best in your presentation about Crete. It is actually harder to write less material about a subject than more because you must decide what is important and what to leave out, and how to summarise in a few short words sometimes complex concepts. Please share my video with your friends and family in the great Greek diaspora of the USA and I'll be glad to link your video to this when you've finished it...
Iranian here! fabulous video, and loved every minute of it. Best of luck!
Thanks!
It's nice to see there's still well put together long form videos like this about ancient world history. I was getting tired of only watching 10 minute videos. Well done!

This is the first vid I've seen that explains and condenses in a digestible way the whole east-west Roman empire deal. Thank you!
Thanks! Yes I felt it was important. When people think of the fall of Rome, they think the literal fall of the city of Rome and that was that. But it went on for another thousand years in the East
You too made a timeless masterpiece! I haven't found anything like it in UA-cam, thank you.
Thank you so much! Yes, I am not aware of it being done before on YT, and I never saw such a thing on TV. They were all daunted... I wasn't ;)
Beautiful nice great country and thank you
This is amazing. Do not change the way you present your documentaries. Subscribed.

Once again you have excellent timing! We'll be studying the Greek empire next spring!
A worthy first comment Ashley! I hope this one will become a school staple!
An exceptional video, thank you!!! Greece is a country with is first sight it will enchant you! Her rich history, its wonderful climate, and its generous and kind people will always leave you with a sense of nostalgia!
Thank you! My visit to Greece many years ago is filled with so many warm memories
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He will save man"
(God Came to Work on Earth to save Corrupt mankind. The present is not the same as the past. The salvation granted today occurs during the last day, when everyone is separated according to type)
Almighty God said
Now God is judging you, chastising you, and punishing you, but you need to know that the point of punishing you is for you to know yourself. He is PUNISHING, JUDGING, and PUNISHING so that you KNOW YOURSELF, to CHANGE YOUR DISPOSITION, and in addition, so that you KNOW YOUR VALUE, and SEE THAT ALL OF GOD'S ACTIONS ARE RIGHTEOUS and IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS DISPOSITION and It is necessary in His WORK, that He WORKS ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN for MAN'S SALVATION, and that He is the RIGHTEOUS GOD who LOVES, SAVES, JUDGES, and PUNISHES MAN. 🙏
If you only KNOW that YOUR STATUS IS LOW, that YOU ARE CORRUPT and DISOBEDIENT, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT GOD WANTS TO MAKE HIS SALVATION CLEAR THROUGH the JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT HE DOES TO YOU NOW, YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GET EXPERIENCE, especially you have NO ABILITY to CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. GOD DID NOT COME TO KILL or DESTROY, BUT TO JUDGE, CURSE, CHASSIS, and SAVE. ☀️
UNTIL His 6,000 year GOVERNMENT PLAN is COMPLETED---BEFORE He REVEALS the OUTCOME of EVERY CATEGORY of HUMANS---GOD'S WORK on EARTH is FOR SALVATION, IT'S PURPOSE is ONLY to MAKE it PERFECT---COMPLETELY ---those who LOVE Him and SUBJECT to His RULE. HOWEVER GOD SAVES PEOPLE, IT DOES ALL BY IDENTIFYING them in their OLD SATANIC NATURE; that is, He SAVES them THROUGH ENCOURAGING them to DESIRE LIFE.
If they DON'T DO that, THERE is NO WAY they can RECEIVE GOD'S SALVATION. SALVATION is the WORK of GOD HIMSELF, and DESIRE for LIFE is SOMETHING that MAN MUST DO to RECEIVE SALVATION. ☀️
In HUMAN EYES, SALVATION is GOD'S LOVE, and GOD'S LOVE CANNOT BE PUNISHMENTS, JUDGMENTS, and CURSES; SALVATION MUST be accompanied by love, compassion, and in addition, words of comfort, as well as the eternal blessings bestowed by God.
People believe that when God saves people, He does so by touching them with His blessings and grace, so that they give their hearts to God. That is, His touching people is His saving them.
This type of rescue is done through reconciliation. When God grants them a hundred times, only then will people submit to God's name and strive to do good for Him and bring Him glory.
THIS IS NOT GOD'S PURPOSE for MANKIND. GOD CAME TO WORK ON EARTH to SAVE CORRUPTED HUMANITY; there is no lie here.
If there was, He certainly did not come to do His work personally.
In the past, His way of salvation included a display of ultimate love, so He gave everything to Satan, the brother of all mankind.
The PRESENT is NOT the SAME AS the PAST: THE SALVATION GIVEN to YOU NOW HAPPENS DURING the LAST DAYS, WHEN EVERY ONE is SEPARATE BY KIND; the WAY of your SALVATION is NOT LOVE or COMPASSION, BUT PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, so that MAN CAN be more COMPLETELY SAVED. 🙏
THEREFORE, ALL YOU RECEIVE is PUNISHMENT, JUDGMENT, and RUINLESS STRIKES, BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS: IN THIS RUINLESS STRIKES THERE is NO LITTLE PUNISHMENT. ☀️
NO MATTER HOW HARM My WORDS ARE, WHAT COMES to YOU ARE JUST A FEW WORDS THAT MAY SEEM COMPLETELY HEARTLESS to YOU, and HOW MUCH My ANGER is, WHAT COMES TO YOU ARE STILL WORDS of TEACHING, and I DON'T INTEND to HURT you or KILL you. ☀️
Isn't this all true?
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AT THIS TIME, WHETHER IT IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OR HEARTLESS REFINING and PUNISHMENT, EVERYTHING os FOR THE SAKE of
SALVATION. ☀️
WHETHER it is NOW SEPARATE EACH ONE BY TYPE or EXPOSING CATEGORIES of PEOPLE, the PURPOSE of ALL GOD'S WORDS and WORKS is TO SAVE THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD. RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT is MADE to PURIFY PEOPLE, and HARD REFINEMENT is MADE to PURIFY them; HURTING WORDS or PUNISHMENT are both MADE to PURIFY and for SALVATION.☀️🙏
THEREFORE, the METHOD of SALVATION TODAY is NOT the SAME DAY.
NOW YOU ARE SAVED BY RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, and THIS IS A GOOD TOOL to SEPARATE EACH ONE of YOU ACCORDING to KIND. ☀️
Besides, CRUEL PUNISHMENT SERVES your ULTIMATE SALVATION---and what can you say in the face of such chastisement and judgment?
Have you not always enjoyed salvation, from beginning to end?
You have seen God incarnate and realized His infinite power and wisdom; and besides, you have experienced repeated beatings and discipline.
However, have you not also received the greatest grace? Are not your prayers greater than others?
YOUR GRACES are even more ABUNDANT than the GLORY and RICHES that SOLOMON ENJOYED! Think about this:
If My purpose in coming was to judge and punish you instead of saving you, would your life have lasted? ☀️
Are you still alive, sinful creatures of flesh and blood?
If my goal was only to punish you, why did I incarnate and start such a big project?
CAN'T YOU LOW MORTAL BE PUNISHED FOR JUST SPEAKING ONE WORD? Will I still have to exterminate you after I have deliberately condemned you?
Do you still not believe these words of mine? Can I save man only through love and compassion? ☀️
Or can I just use the crucifixion to save people?
Isn't My righteous disposition more pleasant to make man completely obedient? Is it not more capable of completely saving man? 🙏

Thank you for your effort and dedication. Concise, condensed, and streamlined. I learned much in a short time from this documentary. More so than I ever had. Cheers.
Wow! Thank you! Your words basically echoed my intention when I first set out to create this.

Beautifully done-thank you for a fascinating overview of Greek history.
Many thanks!
Ive had liminal dreams of ancient greek architecture my entire life. Always felt a deep connection. Im 34 and just found out im 35% greek so theres something! Such a rich history I've always been obsessed with.
I was born in Romania as well but was adopted and I've lived in California my whole life.
"The Greek language is one of only three, among those now spoken and written in the world, that can boast a continuous written tradition stretching back for more than three thousand years. The others are Chinese and Hebrew."
Roderick Beaton, "The Greeks: a global history", New York: Basic books 2021, Preface, pp. 13
What a gargantuan undertaking. It was marvelous. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Everyone should experience a classical tour of Greece if they can make the trip👍

Decent work, People tend to forget the 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans in Battle of Thermopylae.
Indeed. There were about 7000 other Greeks there in all.
It's a very Greek thing....to never let facts get in the way of a good story. Beautiful history nonetheless.
Was so great to learn more about my family past! Love it can’t wait to visit!
Thank you Mike! Definitely something to be proud of. Hope you got to watch Part 2 also in preparation of your visit! 😃
