    What about Nineveh and Babylon? Each one is about 2,000 years older than Athens, and they were the most magnificent metropolises of antiquity. Nineveh was unfortunately obliterated in 612 BCE, but it was the capital of the known world between 700 and 630 BCE, while Babylon reached its height 150 years before Athens.

    • @harrybruijs2614
      @harrybruijs2614 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      You are right, but he started with saying European cities, the question begs why he included Cartaghe and Alexandria and then I could ask you, what a out the Indusculture or Ur.
      Athens also didn't rule the Ancient world, only for a view years the Ionian sea. Athene's freedom was the slavery of others.
      What I don't understand, why a perfectly good historic video must be spoiled by such infantile holliwood type stories. You could also tell, that Athena's wealth was based on working to death slaves in the silver mines. Live in antiquity wasn't very good for the majority of people, the monuments are only a guided vineer to hide the missery as was the case for the majority of the people in the world since the start of the neolithicum until quite recently.

    Been telling this my friends co workers family etc, jet only my dad understands it and what kind of path it could lead.
    8 years ago i deleted all social media.
    But last year i was like there's no escape. Even when i don't have a digital footprint A.I knows everything about me everything i ever wrote or been trough (we don't know how much your phone records literally every detail in a persons life).
    The father of my grandfather was still alive when i was 12 years, and the moment internet and phones where just getting hyped. He told me be careful with that new technology, it is the smartest creation ever made by satan, people will waste their lives and time, people will guard it like it's a relationship, in WW2 they already were kings in manipulation and propoganda and in a few years people will have it with them at all time, don't fall for the trap you will see who are the intelligent people, and i would honor it if you take a step back and wait until you're a few years older and see what tesla predicted in his time.
    This always stayed with me, i also find it ridiculous that i need to be able to be in contact 24/7 if i don't people will think i died just because i am not online...
    Sad to see people having more interest in their hand computer than humanity itself and love one another.
    And this will be fed in someway into a A.I even if it won't be used.
    Just remember you're being used and robbed off your time and distracted during work i bet most people don't want to know how much time they wasted in this short life

    Interesting- the comments talk about the great art and buildings and literature of these old civilisations but neglect to mention how they came about. Like all others on history : Conquest, bloodshed, war, slavery. Far worse than any modern European empire. Yet they are lauded for the amazing achievements not lambasted for their crimes. No self flagellation, no lament for the tribes who came before and got swallowed up. No talk of reparations. Why is that?

      greek cities were small, athens only had 20000 people in their golden age. Of course it gets confusing as the greater region they controlled was obviously quite populated. Most ancient cities were religious and administrative hubs and nothing else. Most people were farmers so obviously didn't live in walled cities. I would imagine the farming regions were most dense closer to the cities, because nobody wanted to walk 3 days to go to temple or sell their grain

    How many people live in Athens today?
    The Municipality of Athens (also City of Athens), which constitutes a small administrative unit of the entire urban area, had a population of 643,452 (in 2021) within its official limits, and a land area of 38.96 km2 (15.04 sq mi).

    The US Founders wrote, repeatedly, how they universally despised Democracy. They saw it for what history had show it to be, quoting James Madison: "...democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
    & Jefferson: “The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.”
    James Hamilton said it this way: “Democracy is like two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch, but a republic is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” & Hamilton rightly saw that in a democracy, the majority have the right to take away the rights of the minority simply by being the majority.
    Aristocratically minded Europeans may have thought well of "Democracy" simply because they didn't consider Women, the poor, or slaves, to be actual people but the Founding of the American Republic was created, intentionally, to prevent the rise of a Democracy, which is why they secured the right, the duty, & the tools needed, for the minority, if necessary, to violently oppose any attempts to enforce one.

    Thank you for the documentary. It has left me with a moral and philosophical question: What is the scale by which we judge the rise from brutish barbarism toward enlightened civility? And do hedonism, gluttony and cunning belong to the former or the latter, or perhaps along a parallel rail of human behavior, which cannot be cultivated out of man simply by living interdependently within cities under rules?
    These revelations about Roman life leave me wondering how it was that Romans thought themselves competent to rule an empire that spanned the Eurasian continent, when history reveals that they could not rule and subdue their own passions, perversions and carnal urges. Is it not proper that one should subdue one's own animal nature before coercing the same in others? And shouldn't any thinking person find those, who would dictate the behavior of others without first demonstrating mastery over their own self, to be held suspect of having exploitative, predatory and parasitic goals in mind? Men, still lacking discernment between friend and foe of mankind, the result is now as we see in Roman history. The rule-makers, who do not follow their own rules, are nothing more than shepherd kings herding flocks of human livestock with carrots and rods. Perhaps if the flock can't detect that wolves in sheep's clothing are herding them, they deserve the consequences, i.e. of being the meat that feeds the elite.
    Of course, as in ancient history, these societal conditions remain with us. And still the flocks find peace of mind in their paddocks and graze happily as long as shepherds allow. We're hearing the bleating of distressed lambs now, but few would dare escape their confines and venture into the wilderness alone. Oh, how we love our gilded cages! They are convenient and cozy, until crowded. Then culling season begins again. For as much as history might teach man, he is changed little by hearing of the past. If he did, indeed, come down from the trees, it's hard to see if he has evolved or devolved since!

      @@iraqwarveteran470 I agree. The reality is that it's all about power, control and fear. The fear-inducing mass- controlling propaganda - the "it's for your own good" excuse, or "the gods command it" excuse or the patriotism/civil duty excuse, etc. - tell us that we must be obedient to the ruling class, if we want to rise above barbarism. Yet, the ruling class has not risen above barbarism. Calling them out on their hypocrisy is a risk not worth taking. Either others see if already, or they never will, because they can't. That's what the Milgram Experiment revealed - 80% of people lack the rational and moral faculties to discern right from wrong and thus rely upon the dictates of authorities to tell them. I suppose that, in itself, is an indication of the success of the human domestication/social engineering program.

    i asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Carthage...
    In shadows of a distant age, Carthage stood,
    A city proud, in splendor once it glowed,
    But fate's cruel hand, with time's unyielding flow,
    Has cast its legacy in ruins, cold.
    Mighty walls that once touched the sky,
    Now crumble under nature's silent cry,
    Where laughter danced upon the bustling streets,
    Now echoes whisper, as memories retreat.
    Carthage's sails once kissed the azure seas,
    A maritime empire's proud victories,
    Yet stormy waves of history's bitter tides,
    Swallowed its glories, as time subsides.
    In temples grand, where fervent prayers arose,
    Now only ghosts of worship remain, enclose,
    The gods themselves, once worshipped with devotion,
    Now stand forgotten, in nature's quiet erosion.
    Carthage's tales, of battles fierce and brave,
    Lie buried in sands, an ancient maritime grave,
    Legends once sung by poets' inspired art,
    Now fade to whispers, torn apart.
    Oh, Carthage, a tale of rise and fall,
    Your splendor's echoes, a haunting call,
    Through ruins' heart, the wind does weep,
    A lament for a city, forever asleep.
    pretty sad......
