Congratulations ! Great work ! 🇬🇷❤

Not even the name of Istanbul is Turkish. In 1930, the city's name was officially changed to Istanbul, the Turkish rendering of εἰς τὴν Πόλιν eis tḕn Pólin 'to the City', the appellation Greek speakers used since the 11th century to colloquially refer to the city.

The Mycenaeans were also the proto Spartans. They were a part of the ionian hellenic tribe BUT WERE IN MILITARY COMBAT DEFEATED BY THE DORIANS WHO CAME FROM NORHERN GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION WHICH WAS MACEDON AND EPIRUS. THE REST IS ALL BULLOCKS.

The intro is historically and scientifically absurd. State your narrative as theory and then move on.

north macedonia and albania have no connection to our history 🇬🇷

Greek history is amazing! While my ancestors were still primitive farmers in the future english countryside they had produced socrates, plato and aristotle,democritus,diogenes, thales and countless legendry leaders, soliders, sailors,artists and inventors etc,etc....and that was just the begining of the story that has gone on to the present day.

Great Educational Video about ancient Greece! Athens is named after Greek Goddess, Athena!

Free Cyprus 🇬🇷 Free Anatolia

Free Anatolia 🇬🇷

Narrator is annoying af.

we have only 3/1000 of our civilization survived because of Religious enemies. Anc.Greece is a nightmare to Balkans, uncivilized, barbarians, and uneducated. Because even the 3/1000 blinds them! Such bright is our History!

What this recent map has to do with anything of ancient times. Türks where still in Mongolia at that time. You should have named it "Anatolia".😊

😀😀😀 who is this English speaker why you manipulation history say me a antic author who written about ancient greeks before 10th century the Spartans were Illyrian the greek term didn't mentioned at all 😀 and can you explain me what word Spartan mean

Your greek pronunciation it's far from greek. Names, locations and words.

Subscriber 1000, can't wait to watch this channel grow 😊

Greece is created 200 years ago. Stop spreading stupidity.

Great work Thank you

The wrong pronunciation of so many words is too painful to listen to.

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis

The ENTIRE History of Greece & ancient Greek civilizations (Documentary) is impossible. You would have to be mentally twisted not to know that!? The first Greek-speaking people, called Myceneans or Mycenean-Achaeans by historians, entered present-day Greece sometime in the Neolithic era or the Bronze Age. And Homer refers to "Achaeans" as the dominant tribe during the Trojan War period usually dated to the 12th-11th centuries BC, using Hellenes to describe a relatively small tribe in Thessaly. The Dorians, an important Greek-speaking group, appeared roughly at that time. According to the Greek tradition, the Graeci (Latin; Ancient Greek: Γραικοί, Graikoi, "Greeks") were renamed Hellenes probably with the establishment of the Great Amphictyonic League after the Trojan War. Nobody really knows. Because much of the ancient civilians records were destroyed by mother Earth or Wars. We Grekos or Graikoi Hellenes are still here and we refer to ourselves in many ways, by our forefathers, by foreigners who refer us in many ways and anti-Greek refer us in many ways. 😂 We Inherited all our European names even from Byzantine Greek Ρωμαῖος (Rōmaîos, but we are its people being subjected to unprecedented peacetime suffering and tensions for reasons every Greek citizen and politician knows by the UK US and Germans. Hellene and Grekos were both sons of Zeus. Hellene lived in Thessaly, from where Achilles and his Myrmidons originated, while Grekos lived in Eperus, the land from where consecutive waves of migrants/sailors moved westwards to establish colonies in Southern Italy, which at the time was known as Magna Greciac (Big Greece). Ottomans introduced the millet system, they would use the term Rumlar, derived from Romaioi, rather than Grekos and Hellene, but we Greeks during the ottoman period used the names: Έλληνες/Hellenes (Greeks), Grekos, Graikoi/Γραικοί (Greeks) and Ρωμιοί/Rhomioi (Romans). These are the names we Inherited and that are used by Greeks today aswell. All of these names are used as synonyms and mean "Greek" in the Greek language Elliniká Including the term "Ρωμιός" that is used with the definition that the Byzantine Greeks were using it and not as an identity separate from the Greek one. Based on the Greek sources (both from the byzantine and ottoman period) Greeks never stopped identifying as Greeks and never stopped considering ancient Greek our ancestors. The fact that “Greek” became the standard ethnonym has to do with the fact that Hellenic tribe identifying itself as descendant of Grekos, hence “Greek”. But the Romans assumed that all these people residing on the peninsula of Emos (Greece) and the surrounding areas are the “Greeks”. Which version of Greek history are you going to believe: people like the Germans English and Romans, or people like Homer and Herodotus. [ And The Academy of Athens, founded by Plato ] ..? Ancient Greek civilizations are fluent in over 20 languages, amassed vast libraries and advanced knowledge in art and technology like the Antikythera mechanism - World's 1st Analog Computer - 87 BC. However, the Vikings, with no advanced knowledge, successfully navigated through the roughest parts of the North Sea to reach Asia and the Americas in their tiny boats.🤣😂 Which version of Greek history are you going to believe: people like the Germans and the English, Romans with no ancient civilizations like the Greeks. Or do you believe the Greek version from 326 A.D., Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, Emperor of Rome? I'm Macedon Hellene and European and not Latin and not German. I am a Christian but not a Protestant. I am a Christian but not a Catholic. I am Greek Christian Orthodox witch is part of the first Christian church of Europe and the first Christian church of the Middle East of Palestine Syria, Mesopotamia and Hagia Sophia Constantinople / Byzantine Greek. And I am defending Cyprus Greece from the barbarians British and Turkish aggression. Our Greek values do not align with English culture or the Church of England and Protestantism. What can you expect from a church founded on the family values of Henry VIII? I am the Western World and not American. Our European Greek values do not align with the American values or the Western World. We Greeks have an ancient history witch is part of Middle East that makes us all family and that's something the British Germans Turks Americans will never have or understand.💯👍✊ The British and Americans compare their Stonehenge engineer culture in Wiltshire and put it in the same category as the most famous looted Parthenon sculptures, Lighthouse of Alexandria. The Great Wall of China, Palestine Syria, great Mesopotamia. The great Persians, and the great Egyptians pyramids and the Great Sphinx, etc. Sorry to embarrass you, but you really deserve it.😆😅🤣😂

[Greece is the most underrated country in the Western World ]. That's why they are suppressing Greece .. Because the UK and US are terrified of Greece's autonomy. Greece, policy was the first to defeat and defend Europe from the Persians. Greece was the first European country again to revolt and gain Independence from the Ottoman Empire. Which started the deep decline of the Ottoman Turk Empire. It is why the Turks hate the Greeks. And it was Greece, who first defeated One of the major Axis leaders of World War II ..Benito Mussolini, Fascism Italians. Which started the deep decline of the Nazis from Germany. It is why the Germans hate the Greeks. Also. With the help of Russia the Biggest Christian country in Europe and Russia the biggest country in the world. In the 1950s -70s Greece again was the first in Europe with Russia to defend Europe from the US NATO British and Turks aggression in Cyprus Greece.. The documentary omits significant historical details. Greek culture and influence were so profound that they were not overshadowed by Rome's conquest. In fact, when Rome conquered Greece, it was Greek culture that ultimately prevailed. The economic impact of Rome's annexation of Greece was significant, but it did not diminish Greek cultural influence. The Greek historical narrative continued into the Roman era, notably under Emperor Constantine of Byzantium. Given Alexander the Great's extensive influence across the Hellenistic world, it is understandable that the Byzantines saw him as a key figure in their history, viewing themselves as heirs to the Roman Empire that had integrated Greek culture and traditions. This perspective made Alexander an essential part of their collective identity, among many other notable aspects. There is a compelling documentary to be made about the history of Greece and its cultures, but this is not it. As a proud Greek, I feel a deep passion for this history, particularly the valiant struggle for independence, which remains alive in the hearts and minds of Greeks. This history plays a significant role in instilling a sense of pride, even though it is not widely recognized. There is far too much history for any single documentary to cover. The earliest known world maps are just that = The earliest known world maps. We still have so much unknown history. World maps assuming a spherical Earth first appear in the Hellenistic period. The developments of Greek geography during this time, notably by Eratosthenes and Posidonius culminated in the Roman era, with Ptolemy's world map (2nd century CE), which would remain authoritative throughout the Middle Ages. Since Ptolemy, knowledge of the approximate size of the Earth allowed cartographers to estimate the extent of their geographical knowledge, and to indicate parts of the planet known to exist but not yet explored as terra incognita. The best we can do is to add knowledge to a documentary like this to help us all understand the history. But never oversimplify events like the Americans and the British do with history. Americans and the British tend to oversimplify events like World War I and World War II, framing them as a clear-cut struggle between good and evil. However, in reality, there were no purely good individuals in either World War. One only needs to look up World Wars to see how terrible people are. There is no such thing as a first and second world war; Americans and the British tend to oversimplify these events. Numerous conflicts among the Germanic tribes contributed to the chaos engulfing Europe. British-French-German are the same people they look the same and they eat the same and they act the same, there are only religious differences. History becomes clearer with a Hellenic classical education, and with someone who speaks like a native Greek and not as an outsider or foreigner who learned Greek. Dionysius Pyrrhus requested the exclusive use of Hellene in his Cheiragogy, stating: "Never desire to call yourselves Romans, but Hellenes, for the Romans from ancient Rome enslaved and destroyed Hellas." Gemistus Plethon pointed out to Constantine Palaeologus that the people he leads are "Hellenes, as their race, language, and education testify." Ducas Vatatzes wrote in a letter to Pope Gregory IX about the wisdom that "rains upon the Hellenic nation." He argued that the transfer of the imperial authority from Rome to Constantinople was national and not geographic, and therefore did not belong to the Latins occupying Constantinople. He maintained that Constantine's heritage was passed on to the Hellenes, and they alone were its inheritors and successors. His son, Theodore II Lascaris, was eager to project the name of the Greeks with true nationalistic zeal. He emphasized that "the Hellenic race looms over all other languages" and that "every kind of philosophy and form of knowledge is a discovery of Hellenes [...]. What do you, O Rome, have to display?" Greek has been spoken in the Greek peninsula and the Mediterranean islands for more than 4000 years. While other European languages are generally derivatives and off-shoots of other languages. One should be cautious and not allow Hollywood and American and British media to dominate the narrative of history, especially concerning the History of Greece and Europe. The Romans had a society of peasants. The Romans gained all from the Greek influence in trade, banking, administration, art, literature, philosophy and earth science. In the last century BC it was a must for every rich young man to study in Athens or Rhodes and perfect their knowledge of rhetoric at the large schools of philosophy. It was also a must to speak Greek as well as Latin. The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance. Herodotus. Britain must pay for their military bases, and then be forced to give them back to the Greeks Cypriots? (as its an utter disgrace that Britain managed to still have land on Cyprus). The British also must return our Greek Looted Parthenon Sculptures our Greek identity, our Greek heritage . [ As its an utter disgrace that Britain managed to still have colonial loot from Greece ]. And Greece is among the few nations - and the only EU member state - not to have been officially visited by the Queen. And It gives me immense pleasure to announce that, indeed. No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. The ancient Greeks used the name "Italia" In addition to the "Greek Italy" and it was Ulfilas, a Greek Who Created the Early German Alphabet. The Greeks created it, the Germans copied it, and the English exploited it. In the beginning... God created the Earth, and in the light blue waters, put a small ship to travel forever, in order not only to give birth but also to transfer great ideas all over the world ... He called that ship...HELLAS! 🐬🏛⚓🐟🔱✴ I hope this helps to understand the history. Thank you for reading ..

The monumental work “History of the Byzantine Empire: Vol. 1: Constantine to the Crusades” and “History of the Byzantine Empire: Vol. 2: From the Crusades to the Fall of the Empire”, of Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev (an expert Byzantinist), is considered one of the best accounts on the Greek legacy of Byzantine history and culture. Truly, masterpieces.

Democracy was not the universal participation in the Ecclesia of the municipality and in the decisions of the State, but it was the universal participation of all citizens in governance and justice as well. All citizens, in turn and for one year, became deputies, judges and lords by lot. All the offices were distributed by lot to all the citizens and in addition the ten generals were elected because they had to be experts in the art of war. The current system of representative democracy was considered - and is - an oligarchy. Aristotle wrote that democracy equals lottery and oligarchy equals election.

Beware of Greek nationalists and supremacists. Big percentage of Greece's population.

so did the minoans really have a labarynth and minataur?

No flow...pics aren't relivant to subject most times...just terrible 5th grade level A.I crap with no human work it shows!

Todays people living in what is today called “Greece” have absolutely zero connections with people 2,500 years ago. Greek blood is the most diluted and tainted of them all.

Please bring new videos, loved this one.

Any chance i couldget the notes that were used in this sent to me?

Democracy👎👎👎

Too many mispronounced words robbed this documentary of being anything but an amateur attempt at educating its audience properly without sounding like a 4th grader. Its was embarrassing.

Entire history of Greece in 1.5 hours... I guess the entire history of me would last just under 1 millisecond. Sounds about right....

Can't stand the voice

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why do you keep saying corinith? I guess we can attribute that to american education.

Oh my goodness, the pronunciations here are a joke - and I’m referring to basic English words. It’s unwatchable for me.

Medieval Greek history is also interesting and nice. Most videos jump from 100 bc to 1800 ad ignoring the middle part.

Can you change the narration??? I tried to watch and stick with it because by and large it was interesting. But some of the pronunciation used just frustrated me… “Pith-ee-on” and “pith-oh-nia” not “pie-thee-on”… and “a-wrist-o-fannies”… not “a-wristo-feens” And what is with “annals” being pronounced “ah-nulls”?

ancient greek history is the best ,the most interesting from any other history.the mythology also is outstanding.iam very proud that iam part of europe. much love to greeks from denmark,my beloved second homeland

This is so helpful, travelling through Greece and Turkey right now and this has given me so much more appreciation for the areas I'm visting!

45:25 It's the other way around actually. The Roman Empire, often(and wrongly) called the "Byzantine" Empire. WE call them Byzantines. They didn't. We(i am from Greece) celled ourselves Roman even until ww1. Excellent video nonetheless.

What got to do Greece in this explanation , that happen over 400BC, Nothing at all Greece was never mentioned, Greece never existed, what is so important of this Greece in this Explanation, nothing at all. If you Talk about Greece Talk after 1832 AD. You think you are so smarts. I don't follow a flay, fly lend on a shit. Greece: (OTTO THE FIRST AND THE ONLY ONE KING OF GREECE. German Bavarian: Otto Fredrich Ludwig von Bayern, 1 June 1815 - 26 July 1867 AD) was a first Bavarian Prince as a King who Ruled Greece from the establishment of the monarchy on 27 May 1832, under the Convention of London, until he was deposed on 23 October 1862. Prove me if I'm wrong. The history is gone up to shit.

very good video man keep it up!

The recently formed North Macedonia, a mixed Slavic and Albanian nation, has nothing to do with the Ancient Macedonians who were a Greek people. As such, Alexander the Great and anything accomplished by his empire and the Argead Dynasty is the cultural heritage of Greece. Also interesting to see that Hellenic culture, while incredibly influential for Millenia, was severely repressed during Ottoman times, as opposed to embraced and propagated during Roman and Eastern Roman times.

More of Alexander less of Greeks

Can you imagine creating a 1 hour and 38 minute long video about the history of Greece, only to immediately misspell “Aegean” and then follow it up by showing a picture of Florence to introduce the Greek Archaic Period?! This is just a couple of blinding mistakes too. I even saw movie footage of a battle between with the fucking Royal Scottish Flag in it 😂

Zacharias Papantoniou (Greek: Ζαχαρίας Παπαντωνίου) was a Greek writer. He was born in Karpenissi of Evrytania in February 1877 and died in Athens in 1940. He spent the first years of his life in Granitsa, where his father was a teacher. Apart from a writer, he was also a journalist. Many of the works of Zacharias Papantoniou, unfortunately, are censored because they tell the truth on Greek history. In that censored group is also the book, ''The King Otto''. Below we state a fragment from this book: ''The young Prince for first time come in Athens on January 25, 1833, he hardly heard anyone speak in Greek and so he asked: "Where are the Greeks in Athens?" His court looked at each other and answered: "There are no Greeks, but do not be troubled because this Albanian population will always be faithful to your monarchy." "Mother took me in her arms and we left. We didn't go far. On a whim of her own, she decided on the neighbouring island of Hydra, but also its rival, its irreconcilable opponent, Spetsai. It stood for the idea that our enemies could treat us no worse than our friends. At least in Spetsai we spoke Arvanitika, i.e. Albanian, our language. My mother, my father, I were, in fact, Greek without being so. Greeks in heart, in spirit, in faith, in ideals, of course, Greeks in sacrifice since we gave our lives for Greece, but not Greeks by blood. I am actually Arvanite, Albanian. Our race, from the earliest times it has existed, has had different names. Are we Pelasgians, Illyrians? Is our language directly derived from Sanskrit as scholars say? I only know that we came to the Balkans thousands of years ago and spread to colonies throughout Greece. Hydra is Albanian, Spetsai is Albanian." __________________________ Title: La Bouboulina (National Hero) Author: Michel, prince de Grèce Publisher: Ed. de la Seine, Paris, 2002
