The byzantines spoke greek wrote greek were in then greek territories were greeks lived were ruled by greek dynasties and used greek names so how exactly were they romans other that they considered themselves roman.
"Roman" or "Rome" are just titles.They called the empire roman because before the fall of the western roman empire those territories,including modern Greece, belonged to roman empire.And citizens were called romans NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE ITALIAN OR LATIN ANYWAY,but they inherited the property of the roman citizen.That doesn't mean they had roman/latin origin.Most of them were Greeks.Some morons can't just understand this
Im actually from Greece and I didnt know most of these thinks. Oh and I was in Mati where the fire did this destruction and somehow survived without going to the sea.
Sam Stoj we are not Egyptian nor Turkish.we are greek of heritage. Our ancestors were orthodox Christians.so you think that the Greek families then you allow the Turks to enter their families.again I think not.And for gods sake the colour of our skins is darker due to the fucking sun.

Correction: Greece wasn't under the control of the Byzantine Empire, Greece *was* the Byzantine Empire. Love to Greece and Greeks from Hungary! 🇭🇺❤🇬🇷 Macedonia & Alexander the Great are forever Hellenic! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Macedonians occupied Greece but Macedonian Empire was a Greek Empire.Romans occupied Greece but it was a Greek empire. Turks occupied Greece but it was a Greek Empire.Poor greeks,hallucinating all times.
@@pranveraohri1204 Macedonians spoke a dorian dialect of Greek, believed in greek gods and could compete in Olympics. These are facts. Not my opinion. Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander the Great. He taught him in Attic dialect of Greek. When the Slavs came in the Balkans in 6th century AD, 900 years after Alexander the Great, the local population was Greek and fought them. Also, if you knew anything about history, you would know that until the Roman occupation, Greeks fought each other unstoppable. Even cities attacked their own colonies like Corinth did to Corfu. During all the years of the fights, the nations that fought were Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian, Montenegrin and Ottomans. There is no historic document about a separated Macedonian nation. 120 years ago Bulgarians started an organisation about the liberation of Macedonia from the Ottomans. Today's so callee North Macedonians are the descendants of Bulgarians. So, unless Macedonians were called Ivan or Boris, don't spread your lies.
@@ilias8972 "Greek"gods are pellasgian ones.Macedonians were barbarian as well as epirotans where Alexander was from.They spoke a thraco-illyrian dialect.Dorians were illyrians descended from north of Balkan. The classic greek was created by the elite and wasn't spoken by simple people but it was based on the old dialects from which only the albanian survived as a direct heir of pellasgo-illyrian.The albanian and its archaic form arvanitica belong not only to albanians but to all peoples who speak an indoeuropean language.You have lost your identity and are pressed to believe that your identity is orthodoxism wiping out of your memory your real roots.This makes you feel brothers with serbs who really destroyed your hellenism.Open your eyes lol.Ellini=Illini=illiri.N of gegh dialect=R of tosk,Epirus like in VloNa=VloRa.
@@pranveraohri1204 ok, I get it. You're one of those who believe in conspiracy theories and have never been in a university. 1) Historians worldwide have accepted that Macedonians spoke if not Dorian Greek, a Hellenic language. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Macedonian_language 2) Greek is an Indo-European language, just like Albanian. It is originated from the Hellenic branch of the Indo-European tree. Albanian is a separate language. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language 3) Greek gods were not Pelasgian. There might was some influence but for sure they were created by the Greeks. They are of the same pattern as other Indo-European pantheons and mythologies. On the contrary, Pelasgians were not Indo-Europeans, so even if there was some influence, for sure they didn't invent them since they are totally different to theirs. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology 4) It's useless to write more, since you are the classic nationalist uneducated man who graduated from school having been left at the same class for 5 years and you only educate yourself from TH-cam videos and conspiracy websites.

Antonios Foulidis Yeah, the Byzantines were ethnically Greek. They were Romans under the Eastern Roman authority and called themselves Roman though so it was basically a Greco-Roman empire.
The Byzantines were a conglomeration of people's, from Roaman descendants , Greeks as well as people's from Anatiloa and further east. With the Capitol located on such an important trade rout the Byzantines were far being exclusively Greco or Roman. The eastern influences were highly prominent in its culture, markets, military and architecture. That is why they emphasized it as the Byzantine Empire and not the "New Roman or New Greco nor the New Macedoinan Empire. It was the Byzantine Empire, and entity in its self. And it was glorious. I love Byzantine history and culture. And the Greeks did have a profound effect on the Empire as well.
Small intereresting fact about the Byzantine flag : The 4 B on the flag stands for the phrase "Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων Βασιλει Βοηθει" which means "The King of the Kings (aka Jesus Christ) helps the king"
I Didnt said that you idiot , I said When Roman Empire was destroyed , Byzantines Took it and they made a Greek Version Of it , Now go and laugh at your fucking thoughts you scambag ...
Great video, but a few corrections: 1) The "flag of Constantinople" was actually just the banner of the Palaiologoi with the same pattern being used for the entire empire as well. Constantinople at that time had a slightly different flag, with that pattern being used along with a pattern of a red cross of St. George on a white pattern (kinda like England) in a square formation. 2) The Greek "sipahi flag" with St. George in the middle is actually just a modification of an older military banner in the Roman/Byzantine empire. 3) That sipahi flag in itself based its design on the insignia of a prominent noble Byzantine family called Doukas. The Doukas family ensign was a white cross of St. George on a blue pattern, identical to the later flag of Greece. The Doukas family from a point onward were based in modern Epirus and southern Albania where they controlled the Despotate of Epirus (a Byzantine successor state following 1204) for several centuries and covered much of modern Greece. Hence many Greeks used that symbol to represent them, just like many other Greeks kept using the double-headed eagle after the fall of the Byzantine empire.
There wasn't an official flag for the empire or Constantinople before the Palaiologian period so any previous symbols were rather common and used throughout various insignia. For example, the crescent and star features in the personal ensign of Isaakios Komnenos of Cyprus while the crescent was part of the symbol of the Dalassenos noble family from eastern Anatolia. Flag of Constantinople in the late empire: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61UDWWI8ByL._SY355_.jpg Isaakios Komnenos ensign: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Isaak_Comnenus_of_Cyprus_flag.svg/504px-Isaak_Comnenus_of_Cyprus_flag.svg.png Dalassenos ensign: wappenwiki.org/images/thumb/b/b0/Dalassenos.svg/220px-Dalassenos.svg.png
Bob Make "Istanbul" comes from the expression "eis tin Polin" (εις την Πόλην; towards the City), as Constantinople was colloquially known as "Polis" in Greek and "Boli" in Armenian. This is the same as Izmir (eis Smyrni) or Iznik (eis Nicaea). So the name Istanbul is basically the same as Constantinople. Also, the name Istanbul became official in 1923. Before that, even the Ottomans officially called it "Konstantiniyye".
Great video, glad you see Macedonia for what it really is (Greek) and amazing for you to shoutout the charity for the victims of the devastating fire. Keep up the good work :)
A well made and detailed video. However, I would like to point out a slight correction on 1:37. Greece wasn't "under the rule" of the Byzantine empire, but Byzantine empire was Greece in late medieval period, especially on 1350 that you mentioned. That is because in that years the population of the Byzantine empire was pretty much homogeneous (predominantly Greek), and the rulers were also Greek (Palaiologos dynasty). PS: I see that at the end of the video you correctly include the Byzantine flag and mention the double headed eagle in the army emblem though.
But still being greek. It doesn't matter if they're independednt or not, we're talking the same language we have the same national anthem and religion. Every cypriot in Cyprus feel greek instead of something independednt from the Greek tribe. For instance a Cypriot guy is like a athinean or macedonian guy all of them they know they're greek.. You got it?
Here in Cyprus we dont speak greek, we are speaking cypriot dialect which its almost similar to greek but with some turkish words into it too. I wouldny say we are talking the same language but we have the greek language as the official language. We are cyprus, neither turkis neither greek nor american.
Το πραξικόπημα έγινε το 1967, αλλά επίσημα η Ελλάδα ήταν Βασίλειο ακόμα μεχρι το 1973 και για αυτό χρησιμοποιείτο η σημαία με το στέμμα. Το 1973 η χούντα υιοθέτησε την σημαία με τις λωρίδες εκτός από ναυτική και εθνική να είναι και κρατική. Το 1975 η Βοθλή απεφάσισε την επαναφορά της παλαιάς σημαίας ως κρατικής αλλα χωρίς το στέμμα στο κέντρο του σταυρού. Το 1981 με απόφαση της Βουλής αποσύρθηκε η παλαιά κρατική σημαία και υιοθετήθηκε για ακόμα μια φορά αυτή με τις λωρίδες ως κρατική, εθνική και ναυτική σημαία.
Κλασσικοί ελληναράδες που νομίζουν πως μόνο η Ελλάδα έχει ιστορία.. Καταρχάς ξεκαθάρισε για τι είδους ιστορία μιλάμε. Αρχαία ή μοντέρνα? Υπόθετω πάντως πως αναφέρεσαι στην αρχαία (γιατί σύγχρονη δεν) άρα πρέπει δυστυχώς να σου πω πως η Αίγυπτος και η Ιτάλια θεωρούνται οι χώρες με την πιο πλούσια αρχαία ιστορία.
Nice vid you may have forgotten the independent Southern Greece of the mainland and some islands like Rhodes that were under the Venetians. The colours do have meaning with white also can be the colour of peace but I think like you've mentioned blue and white were important since ancient Greece even under Christianity. To me it just matches well with country blue seas and clear skies lol.
@@orbcannon983 Actually albanian taked the double headed eagle from byzantine empire and make it Red. So Actually it's not byzantine flag is taked albanian the correct one is albanian flag is taked byzantine
It called Easter Roman empire the historic scientist gave this name. After the 390 The Byzantine or Easter Roman Empire or Η Βασιλεία των Ρωμαίων had the greek language and culture as the main on the empire. The last speech of the last emperor of empire palaiologos he refered to the ancestors of the byzantine ppl or whatever you want and he said we're GREEK AND ROMANS AND NOT BARBARIANS (he was talking about the turks) so all of the people of byzantine empire knew the empire is greek so what are you talking about?
It was Roman empire with the difference that: They was speaking Greek They had Greek emperror Mainly in Greek core regions They teached Greek history They said they were Greeks AND Romans many times Byzantines - capital Byzantium Romans - capital Rome Thats why they used the term Byzantines, its an accurate term to use because Romans took their name from their starting point/capital. They don't call someone who don't own the Rome as the Roman empire.
you're wrong the Eastern Roman or Ρωμιοί they never ever in history of roman empire call themselves Byzantine but only the people that live in constantinople they could call themselves byzantines ( btw byzantium was an ancinet colony from byzantas). Also somes of emperos like theodosius was spanishjewish and he ordered to kill all of the people of thesalonika and destroy the city and he did that in every city of the empire with ancient greek statues and this kind of things. Also in Easter Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire or Η Βασιλεία των Ρωμαίων they banned olympic games, destroyed ancient statues and this kind of things killed many greeks.. IM NOT SAYIN' THE EMPIRE WASN'T GREEK BUT MANY EMPERORS HATED THE GREEK CULTURE OR BECAUES THEY WEREN'T GREEK OR BECAUSE THEY WERE STUPID. IM SAYIN THAT TO MAKE YOU CLEAR THE BYZANTINE NEVER CALLED THEMSELVES BYZANTINES BUT ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN CONSTANTINOPLE 'CAUSE OF THE ANCINET COLONY.
It was Roman empire with the difference that: They was speaking Greek They had Greek emperror, Mainly in Greek core regions They teached Greek history They said they were Greeks AND Romans many times

This Chanell deserves millions of subs! Amazing work! Keep up! As a Greek, it was indeed acurate!
Great video, but a few corrections:
1) The "flag of Constantinople" was actually just the banner of the Palaiologoi with the same pattern being used for the entire empire as well. Constantinople at that time had a slightly different flag, with that pattern being used along with a pattern of a red cross of St. George on a white pattern (kinda like England) in a square formation.
2) The Greek "sipahi flag" with St. George in the middle is actually just a modification of an older military banner in the Roman/Byzantine empire.
3) That sipahi flag in itself based its design on the insignia of a prominent noble Byzantine family called Doukas. The Doukas family ensign was a white cross of St. George on a blue pattern, identical to the later flag of Greece. The Doukas family from a point onward were based in modern Epirus and southern Albania where they controlled the Despotate of Epirus (a Byzantine successor state following 1204) for several centuries and covered much of modern Greece. Hence many Greeks used that symbol to represent them, just like many other Greeks kept using the double-headed eagle after the fall of the Byzantine empire.
Basileus Rhomaion do u have some info about that because as dar as i know - the flag of constantinople was very simillar to the modern turkish
There wasn't an official flag for the empire or Constantinople before the Palaiologian period so any previous symbols were rather common and used throughout various insignia. For example, the crescent and star features in the personal ensign of Isaakios Komnenos of Cyprus while the crescent was part of the symbol of the Dalassenos noble family from eastern Anatolia.

Ooo. You need to start a series.
its called Istanbul not 'Constantinople'
Bob Make "Istanbul" comes from the expression "eis tin Polin" (εις την Πόλην; towards the City), as Constantinople was colloquially known as "Polis" in Greek and "Boli" in Armenian. This is the same as Izmir (eis Smyrni) or Iznik (eis Nicaea). So the name Istanbul is basically the same as Constantinople.
Also, the name Istanbul became official in 1923. Before that, even the Ottomans officially called it "Konstantiniyye".
I am from Greece and I loved the video . Great job !!!

Hi
Hi
Hi🤗
Great video, glad you see Macedonia for what it really is (Greek) and amazing for you to shoutout the charity for the victims of the devastating fire. Keep up the good work :)
I liked before it started.
A well made and detailed video. However, I would like to point out a slight correction on 1:37. Greece wasn't "under the rule" of the Byzantine empire, but Byzantine empire was Greece in late medieval period, especially on 1350 that you mentioned. That is because in that years the population of the Byzantine empire was pretty much homogeneous (predominantly Greek), and the rulers were also Greek (Palaiologos dynasty).
PS: I see that at the end of the video you correctly include the Byzantine flag and mention the double headed eagle in the army emblem though.
good job and thank you for the donations!!!!!!

You have a surprisingly good pronunciation of greek words! Nice!
Nice video man but... you forgot Cyprus flag Enosis Flag!
XTRAKTOR Cyprus is independent.
Ωραίος!
But still being greek. It doesn't matter if they're independednt or not, we're talking the same language we have the same national anthem and religion. Every cypriot in Cyprus feel greek instead of something independednt from the Greek tribe. For instance a Cypriot guy is like a athinean or macedonian guy all of them they know they're greek.. You got it?
🇨🇾🇬🇷
Here in Cyprus we dont speak greek, we are speaking cypriot dialect which its almost similar to greek but with some turkish words into it too. I wouldny say we are talking the same language but we have the greek language as the official language. We are cyprus, neither turkis neither greek nor american.
great video love from Greece
the coup hapend in 1967 and the restoration in 1974
You mean coup not cup
δε με πολυνιαζει και βασικα κιολας
Το πραξικόπημα έγινε το 1967, αλλά επίσημα η Ελλάδα ήταν Βασίλειο ακόμα μεχρι το 1973 και για αυτό χρησιμοποιείτο η σημαία με το στέμμα. Το 1973 η χούντα υιοθέτησε την σημαία με τις λωρίδες εκτός από ναυτική και εθνική να είναι και κρατική. Το 1975 η Βοθλή απεφάσισε την επαναφορά της παλαιάς σημαίας ως κρατικής αλλα χωρίς το στέμμα στο κέντρο του σταυρού. Το 1981 με απόφαση της Βουλής αποσύρθηκε η παλαιά κρατική σημαία και υιοθετήθηκε για ακόμα μια φορά αυτή με τις λωρίδες ως κρατική, εθνική και ναυτική σημαία.
Excellent report. Thank you for posting the charity link, we are grateful.

that's greek to me
Κλασσικοί ελληναράδες που νομίζουν πως μόνο η Ελλάδα έχει ιστορία.. Καταρχάς ξεκαθάρισε για τι είδους ιστορία μιλάμε. Αρχαία ή μοντέρνα? Υπόθετω πάντως πως αναφέρεσαι στην αρχαία (γιατί σύγχρονη δεν) άρα πρέπει δυστυχώς να σου πω πως η Αίγυπτος και η Ιτάλια θεωρούνται οι χώρες με την πιο πλούσια αρχαία ιστορία.
Also thank you for mentioning the fires and the gofund me page !!

You are amazing! The amount of research!
The blue color on the greek flag is because of the sea
Very nice content video! That's great!
Nice vid you may have forgotten the independent Southern Greece of the mainland and some islands like Rhodes that were under the Venetians. The colours do have meaning with white also can be the colour of peace but I think like you've mentioned blue and white were important since ancient Greece even under Christianity. To me it just matches well with country blue seas and clear skies lol.

Hdhd Dhdud such as the common double headed eagle
Ardi The Boss that is hittite eagle.
Ardi The Boss so byzantium use that flag centuries agi but is yours cause you use it know? I am laughing man
Ardi The Boss Don’t recall Albania existing for most of the Eastern Roman Empire’s existence bud.
@@orbcannon983 Actually albanian taked the double headed eagle from byzantine empire and make it Red. So Actually it's not byzantine flag is taked albanian the correct one is albanian flag is taked byzantine

Greece was the Byzantine Empire....
Lucifer Morningstar there was no byzantine empire. It was called roman empire. Byzantine was made up by historians centuries later
It called Easter Roman empire the historic scientist gave this name. After the 390 The Byzantine or Easter Roman Empire or Η Βασιλεία των Ρωμαίων had the greek language and culture as the main on the empire. The last speech of the last emperor of empire palaiologos he refered to the ancestors of the byzantine ppl or whatever you want and he said we're GREEK AND ROMANS AND NOT BARBARIANS (he was talking about the turks) so all of the people of byzantine empire knew the empire is greek so what are you talking about?
no
It was Roman empire with the difference that:
They was speaking Greek
They had Greek emperror
Mainly in Greek core regions
They teached Greek history
They said they were Greeks AND Romans many times
Byzantines - capital Byzantium
Romans - capital Rome
Thats why they used the term Byzantines, its an accurate term to use because Romans took their name from their starting point/capital. They don't call someone who don't own the Rome as the Roman empire.
you're wrong the Eastern Roman or Ρωμιοί they never ever in history of roman empire call themselves Byzantine but only the people that live in constantinople they could call themselves byzantines ( btw byzantium was an ancinet colony from byzantas). Also somes of emperos like theodosius was spanishjewish and he ordered to kill all of the people of thesalonika and destroy the city and he did that in every city of the empire with ancient greek statues and this kind of things. Also in Easter Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire or Η Βασιλεία των Ρωμαίων they banned olympic games, destroyed ancient statues and this kind of things killed many greeks.. IM NOT SAYIN' THE EMPIRE WASN'T GREEK BUT MANY EMPERORS HATED THE GREEK CULTURE OR BECAUES THEY WEREN'T GREEK OR BECAUSE THEY WERE STUPID. IM SAYIN THAT TO MAKE YOU CLEAR THE BYZANTINE NEVER CALLED THEMSELVES BYZANTINES BUT ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN CONSTANTINOPLE 'CAUSE OF THE ANCINET COLONY.
I'm Greek!Thank you for showing the world what is the current situation in Greece!

Could you do the Philippine Flag? 🇵🇭
Kurt Oriel Philippines took its name from Phillip of Spain which took his name from Phillip king of Macedonia and father of Alexander the Great
Dimitris Petroutsos the Roman Empire was more important than the Greek empire lol
UFCMania155 no its not lol idiot romans like to take greek ideas and make it their own
they took a few things when it came to their religion, but pretty much everything else was their own
How cool the greek flag is, seems to be related to how uncool most of the municipal/prefectural/regional flags are.
Είναι ωραία να βλέπω την σημαία σε βίντεο του youtube.
