- If you've ever driven through the Tuscan countryside or seen a Hollywood movie that is set here, you'll know one of the most famous icons of Italy are its old hill towns. But what you might not know is how ancient and how many hundreds of there are - this is the untold story of how Tuscany's little hill towns changed the world for ever.
Join me as we explore the eras of Etruscan, Roman and Renaissance history which defined western civilisation as we now know it, and wrestle with one of the most overlooked parts of Italian history and culture that you've probably never heard of.
I made all of the animations and maps in this video, along with the filming and editing, so this video was a HUGE milestone for me in terms of increasing my quality.
I'd so appreciate it if you like, subscribe and comment - maybe even letting me know of other topics you'd like me to cover - to help encourage me to keep going!
Lots of love from Florence, Italy.

Harald Haarmann about first cyrillic writings in Vinca culture in 5500 BC so 2000 years before any writings anywhere else on the world.
Vinca Iron production 1400 BC.
In today English language there is more than 2000 same or similar Serbian words.
Names of the Balkan tribes: Pelasgians, Mycenaeans, Etruscan-called themselves Rasi,in Serbia exist even today province Ras. Wendi, (Wendisch museum in Cottbus, Germany, Lusatian Sorbs, Lužički Srbi.) Illiyrians, Macedonians (Homer is saying Paeonian people walked on foot 11 Days to help Trojans war), Dardanians (Original Troy is here, not in Turkey, Homer wrote sea is freezing in the winter-Panonian sea), Moesians, Dacians, Thracians, Rasci, Celts, Scythians, Sarmatians, Arians, Sea People, Peleset, Philistines, Hittites, Bhrygians.

Wild Greeks arived ~ 1000 BC from Egipt, Hungarian from Asia and Bulgars from Asia they found culture on the Balkans, writings and language and they mixed with domestic people. 18 Roman emperors were born in Serbia because of Etruscan connection.
After Trojan war many groups of people left Troy in all directions to middle Europe, northern Europe to Britain and Scandinavia, south to Anatolia.One group under Aeneas sat sail with 22 ships and about 3400 followers and reach Italy-Etruscans.
Proto Serbian language is older than Sanskrit, Greek, Latin or all western Europian languages. Plato confirms in his work The Dialogues of Plato-Cratylus the Greeks used Pelasgian (Proto Serbian) to develop their own language.
Outstanding. I love clarity.
This was extremely interesting. So glad that I recently stumbled onto your channel, I'm enjoying all your videos.
Excellent video. What a fascinating history!
Very interesting, thank you
Excellent video. Guess it’s time to subscribe. Millie Grazie
Such a talent! And that voice! Love it!! So professional. 😍😍😍
Amazing historical fact, thanks much....your subscriptions and followers will grow into the tens of thousands very soon
I've just discovered your channel and am very impressed with your knowledge, creativity and eloquence - especially for such a young man. I am a follower! What an interesting historical account of the area (although the Greeks were also a huge influence).
What a great way to get my travel fix, right from my chair at home!
Hi Jordan, I really like your videos. Great narration and photography. I love the history of the hilltowns, and the info about Florence and your home improvement videos are great as well. As far as ideas for new videos...what about Art History, The Renaissance? I know its been done before, but yours might be better than the others. Or videos about other Tuscan towns. I do love the history videos too. So many ideas...just make more! Thank you!! Are you a professional home designer, or interior decorator? I will be in Florence in June.
I like your presentation, it's aesthetically informative on a very interesting phenomenon. Would you consider doing one on the Lombard kingdom in Tuscany and surrounding areas to the north?
I’m working next historical video focused on that final Roman victory of 406AD at Fiesole which inadvertently led to a series of events that would cause the sack of Rome in 410. Very interesting idea though, I’ll do more research into the Lombard’s in Tuscany for a potential future video 👌🏼
🌹 brilliant thankyou ❣️
Hi Just found your Chanel amazing
Much love from Carefree Arizona 💕
This video is very interesting. In the future, could you upload it with a Spanish translation in subtitles. Greetings from Denver Colorado
I found this video while just killing time at lunch. Considering the quality, I'm shocked at the view count! Keep up the great work!
Really appreciate that Sam, cheers! There’s more on the way in the coming weeks :)
Mi inchino alla tua cultura e all'amore che nutri per la mia terra, la mia regione. Grazie, Britalian ;-)
E un piacere!
bel video, concentrato ma ben fatto, bravo!
Grazie mille!
Thank you 🐱I enjoyed this very much🐦🎶🌈
Procas, king of the Albanians, had two sons, Amulius and Numitor, to whom he left the throne with the intention of taking it on an annual basis [so that they would have ruled alternately]. But Amulius did not cede power to his brother, but even tried to deprive him of his offspring by making his daughter Rhea Silvia high priestess of Vesta, thereby destining her to eternal celibacy. Meanwhile, Rhea Silvia became Mars' mother and gave birth to Romulus and Remus. The two founded Rome.
Were the Etrusken maybe the Pelasgians/ Illyrians - the ancestors of Albanians?
I think it’s great!
On April 4, 2024. Serbs celebrate the year 7532.
A few years ago, NASA announced that they are using the ancient Serbian calendar because it is the most accurate, that it is completely harmonized with nature, that the beginning of the seasons according to that calendar coincides with the electromagnetic changes of the Sun, lake water is changing ph level to acidic or alkaline on exact date.
Great story. What do you know about the small hilltop town of Proceno in Lazio. Could it be Etruscan?
Hadn’t heard of Proceno but I just saw a few photos and judging by its aesthetics and location between Tuscany / Lazio it’s 100% of Etruscan origin :)
Thank you so much! My family is from Proceno. They migrated to the US in the early 1900's. I hope to visit some day. Good luck with your beautiful apartment! Thanks again

First World Empire:
Nimrod-God Bacchus: 2025-2000 BCE. The creation of the First World Empire started from Nis, (Naissus) Serbia. Bocharti says that Nimrod’s army became known as Aryans. This is because Nimrod’s (Nebrod) army consisted of professional hunters; the God of hunting in Serbian mythology is called Arion: consequently, we get Arions / Aryans. (Samuelis Bocharti) Nimrod’s wife Semiramis constructed in Babylon first world wonder Tower of Babylon mentioned in Old Testament.
Second World Empire:
Serbo Makeridov (Asur): 1330-1300 BCE. The creation of the Second World Empire started from south Serbia. Alexander the Great tell us that there was a second world conquest which started from Naissus (Nis, Serbia) and which was led by the God Serbon: a great leader who was proclaimed a divinity-Quintus Rufus. Eusebii Pamphili claims that Serbon fought the Indians ca.1325 BCE and afterwards he built another Naissus at the Indus river, this was the city where Alexander the Great encountered Serbs according to Quintus Rufus and Pamphili (Ptolemaeus Eusebii).
Troy: 2000-1184 BCE. Dardania to day Serbia.
Third World Empire:
Alexander the Great: 336-323 BCE. Son of King Philip the Great Karanovic and mother Olympia daughter of King Neotolomay Molosses from Serbo-Rasa tribe. (Ulrich Wilcken, Gustave Glotz) The creation of the Third World Empire started from south Serbia.
Fourth World Empire:
Roman Empire: Etruscan organized Roman Empire and eastern Roman Empire and 18 Emperors are from today Serbia Constantine the Great also born in Nis (Naissus).
Following the 3rd Century Crisis (290s AD onward, the Empire was feeling less secure and thus there was a need for strong military leaders to take charge.
Many Roman noblemen and statesmen were born in present-day Serbia, including 17 or 18 Roman Emperors (Vetranio wasn't universally recognized as an emperor, but was proclaimed a caesar).[2][3]
