Dude, Matt I really like your new stuff, and the production value is great for the new videos. But you got to bring back this format, with all the meme’s and the Grimlock action figure. This is pure gold!
great video, you got lots of details that even us locals don't know much about but I think there is more than couple of sites to see in the city. There is the White tower, the arch of Galerius, the Roman forum, the palace of Galerius, the Great byzantine walls and a whole lot to see in the tens of the city's museums. Cheers!
What's really unique about Thessaloniki is the fact that you can see that every historical period has left its mark on the city. There are still traces of the ancient greek, the roman, the byzantine, the latin, the ottoman, the jewish and modern greek Thessaloniki all over the place. I had the best of time studying at the aristotle university of thessaloniki. Great video btw!
Anyone ever just wanna live in Rome? You can live in celtic land of Britannia, travel through the roudy land of Gaul, check out Hispania, admire the capital and all the other Italian cities, head down Illyria, walk down the Stoas in Grecae, go on a boat in Byzantium, admire the wealth of Asia Minor, and take a pilgrimage to Judaea, and then check out the pyramids. It's like all the best countries in the world. And you can also see all the great historical figures of that era as well, even the apostles and their successors!
Who's this "Heir of Stotle" guy? I feel like I just got tricked into learning something when I was just looking for cat videos. So pretty much, most war was caused by girls who tell their boyfriends "if you really love me, you'll go conquer something and name it after me". I suppose it was probably cheaper than ordering from the Tiffany catalog.
Someone walked in on me while I was filming the "maybe you've heard of him?" part into my phone at my desk at the office. It was uncomfortable between us after that.
The Ten Minute Bible Hour That's hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud at that. Looks like you'll be on the church's prayer list this week. Little old ladies at bible study saying "Hey Beatrice, did you here about Matt? Apparently he's been seen acting strange lately"
I always think to myself, "Don't clutter up the entire video with a bunch of silly pictures this time. Just be efficient." Then I inevitably start having fun in editing and clutter up the entire video with a bunch of silly pictures.
Its just sad they would build over good history instead of reserve it and build more. I was looking forward to going here,now I'm wondering of its worth it....🤔
The city was actually called Solun. Older bibles call it Solun as well. It wasn't called Thessalonica until modern days after Greece stole the land from Macedonia in a treaty after the Balkan Wars against the Ottoman Empire. Which that treaty sparked the 2nd Balkan War. Greece is a fabricated country in the 1800s by the Rothchilds and the West. You can read all about that if you actually look it up. No such thing as "Ancient Greeks". Just as there is no such things as an Ancient Greek language. That language was actually called Koine, not Greek because Greece or Greeks didn't exist until the 1800s AD. The first Greek King was a Bavarian Prince named Otto because like I said, it was a Fabricated Country they created to try and control the Balkan region against the Ottomans. The reason you don't see much of the old city is because after Greece stole the land, they destroyed the city in 1917. They call it the Great fire of 1917, but really they just destroyed all the Macedonian architecture so they could try and steal the Macedonian history as well.
It Greek !!!!!!! you want to steal Greek history, you are a bunch of something ( mostly Bulgarians etc )!!!!! Find your own history man.everyone knows the western civilization came from Greece. The only thing that's true is Greek Macedonians conquerd 2% of the land you call Macedonia .That's the same thing they did up to India. So with your saying Indians are Macedonians also.
I am Greek and I can read and understand the original bible written in greek, first of all if there wasn't a Greek country (polis - states) in ancient times how could i today read and understand that language (common ) ??????. Show me only one ancient document written in your language you call today Macedonian . I as a Greek came show you dozen of mine course various times of history .
@@Agge58 original bible. LMAO no one has an Original Bible. Everyone has pieces of manuscripts. There is no original bible dumbass. And some of those manuscripts were written in Koine not Greek. Even your own historians say your country was fabricated in the 1800s because that's the truth.

Great overview... and very entertaining!
Thanks for all you do, brother.

Great comment, and great addition to the list of places to see. Thanks very much!

Ok thank you because I was gonna back out of touring there!
If you have any other suggestions can you post them?
I’m loving these city overview videos 👌🏿
Thanks Samuel. I'm hoping they cover the bases in a way that's useful and fun.
Sometimes you just wake up feeling conquery
Today was one of those days. Haven't conquered anything yet, but I'm feeling it.

+Andy Jones I think everyone's been saying that for quite a while now.
Admiral Ackbar!!! But seriously, thanks for the historical backdrop. That's some good information!
I thought Admiral Ackbar fit well with the manatee themed desk.
How long does it take you to find all the images that you throw up in the background of your videos!? It's relentless! ;-)

@@Agge58 lmao. The Bavarian Prince Otto says otherwise. Run along and pay your debt to your creators.
