Aspendos was founded by Mopsos a Greek explorer. A typical Roman theatre? For god sakes haven’t you seen the ancient theatres in Greece? Epidaurus ? Dodoni? Delphi theatre? The video says clearly that the architect was Greek. I am curious what plays the Romans performed. The only thing that they performed in their arenas were gladiator games.
Hi Ancient Sites, thanks for another great vid. I really appreciate the time, research, and work you put into these, and I always learn something new. Your content really is 1st class and I so want this channel to get the recognition it deserves. I know quality content when I see it and it is only a matter time before your hard work is rewarded. Have a happy Christmas Ancient Sites, respect and peace to ya.
Absolutely agree ! Ancient Sites is a unique one of a kind channel ! Always well documented, very Intelligent and be blown away by breathtaking sceneries and spectacular closeups ! Her hard work will surely be recognized, all in good time !
That theatre was something else, Irena - I'd visit for the accoustics, alone. As I've mentioned in previous comments, the geometric precision of the Ancient world's Engineers & Architects clearly demonstrates an execution (almost) to perfection. Why are so many individuals obsessed with the technologies of today, when it is evident that humankind's forefathers had already discovered the answers to many of the more fundamental (& intrinsic) problems ? Awe inspiring stuff.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THEATER!!! SO ARE YOU!! The ancients were masters of acoustics. I guess they had to be. My first job was in a theater. It was also beautiful, but nothing like this. Do you run into any ghost on these ancient sites?👻 👏👏💜♥️👀💖💗👍👍 ALL THE BEST AND BE SAFE. Soon 2K SUBSCRIBERS👏😁
@@ancientsitesgirl You're welcome! If you ever travel to Olympia and Western Greece in general, you can also check the Mycenaean settlement of Chalandritsa, although it is not so promising in terms of size, findings etc. The Palace of Odysseus in Ithaca is also cool, though the access to the site is partial. If I remember well. Cheers & safe travels!
I'm afraid there were also fights in them. Especially when there was no amphitheater in the city. Even the oldest theater of Dionysus in Athens was used for this purpose by the Romans
Dear Ancient Sites. It was not really like that. Άσπενδος Aspendos was by Greeks in 1000 BC. The Persians had their fleet in the nearby river during a very short time. The Romans came in 190 BC and yes the theater was constructed during this era in greco-roman style by a Greek arkitekt. Here is a piece of advice: Read the facts before you enter Turkey. In Turkey they avoid to mention the word ”greek” when it comes to monuments from the ancient times.
We can say the same for greece. U can see that there r no mosques in athens today, one was building but i dont know işt is finished or not. Greeks trying to erase Turkish culture from all greece. We ruled there for hundres of years. Always be objective.
@@ercanylmaz967 you mean like all the buildings, city names churches that turks destroyed to cover than Armenians lived there long before turks came from mongolia or how turks lie about what horrors they have commited and will not acknowledge. And how Turks and kurds claim they are Hittites and than they are the ones that build Gök.T aka Portasar. Thx to modern technology and DNA test, that has finally proved that Hittites and Armenians have the exact same DNA. All ancient buildings that once stood there turks have erased to cover up the truth. Another lie killed and and carved in stone. 18.000+ yrs of history changes alot of europs history that once already where know to human kind but neglected on perpuse. There where no turks or " Anatolians" back then as they are trying to say today to print in another lie. But there where Armenians.🤙🏻🤘🏻
Really good with all the facts researched. It must take Ages.
Thank you and you're right! 😁

Thanks for watching!

Super!

It's amazing that they had such a grasp of Architecture and Sound engineering. Today we need computers.
Just brilliant
Thanks 👍

Sometimes your pronunciation is wrong but I love that 😍 no need to change anything with the videos 😍
Please let me know so I can improve! :)
There were no gladiators fights in Roman theaters. Gladiators fought in Amphitheaters like the Colosseum.
I'm afraid there were also fights in them. Especially when there was no amphitheater in the city. Even the oldest theater of Dionysus in Athens was used for this purpose by the Romans
Geweldig wij waren er eens. Maak hier eens een voorstelling mee. Je zult verbaast staan.

So , why don’t the Turkish convert it to a mosque? Like other important monuments that had the fate of being there??
good question!

I think she knows the facts...
You're just too triggered... 🤷♂️
Ofcourse this is a greek theater , the romans came much later and they did nt have theaters.
