  • I decided it would be interesting to do an underground tour of sorts, but the underground areas were closed due to covid. So in this video we will get a history lesson from a well educated and traveled local historian about Serbian/ Belgrade (Beograd)and World history. It was very interesting to learn about the local history dating back as far as the Romans and even up to the present times. To learn about how the wars have impacted the area and peoples and how they managed and adapted, through those seasons. If you guys enjoyed this video please let me know, as I may have enough clips left over for a part two.

      True history is awesome and why we arent taught it. Its a bit too awesome because it uncovers the massive lies and more importantly the mass of liars.

      He forgot to mention one important fact, slavic invasion in this region in the 7th century AD. Because he is referring to roman emperor's from Serbia while it was Illyria back then and the ancestors of the slavs were totally missing this region!

      @@illyriusk3919 interesting thing is that every single excavation of skeletons from ancient period matches our, Serbian DNA! No single matches Albanian DNA! No single toponym in any sort of your language? Medieval name of Serbia was MAGNA ILLIRICUM! So, how you could be Illyrian?

    •  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well a man with the white hat maybe exaggerates a little with all the superlatives :), although all he said was historically correct. Anyway, the Belgrade is one of those cities that had to exist due to its geographical placement. Istanbul is probably the greatest example of the city with supreme geolocation. When you go to Istanbul, and look at Bosphorus from Topkapi palace, you can just feel the power of the location and control of the place where 2 continents meet. Similarly, when you look at confluence of Sava and Danube rivers from Belgrade fortress, you will have similar feeling. At least 60% intense comparing to Istanbul. It's a guarantee :)

    I'm glad you visited Kalemegdan with a guide is a totally different perspective when someone explains it to you. Now you have awakened the ghosts :) you can already see from the comments the competition whose history is more accurate:)Btw, I recommended you to visit the underground,and I am surprised that it is closed because on the official page and on instagram it says that it is open.Maybe another time :) Very nice video:)

So we got the above ground tour ;>) It is funny how passionate people are about history, I wish these same people would offer their time and talents to excavating the historic ruin sites with maybe only 10-20 percent has seen daylight. Then we can truly know what the "real deal" is. Till then there will always be ghosts. Cheers my friend.

    He makes it sound like all the Celts were defeated and moved "byack" to the Northwest when it was only one tribe of Celts who never went "byack" to the Northwest they mixed in with the Illyrians (who were also from the middle east and Greece. Celts were in Iberia East and Iberia west (Armenia) and then all over Europe from both sides, they just took on different tribe names. I dont think this guy knows its much more complicated than just saying the Celts, hell Rome also consisted of Celts (Gauls)- people forget they are all related.

    • @HeyVernTravels
      @HeyVernTravels  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can also conclude also most are probably related to some degree with years of mixing. Also we had limited time so there is that.
