It is also known, that Athens relied heavily on mercenary armies and that foreigners also were enlisted in war in exchange of citizenship. Slaves also fought in war, although is debated if they were forced by their masters, or did it voluntarily. I'm not sure why this fact was skipped on this documentary.

The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. It was a pivotal moment that shaped the course of history.

I CAN COMMENT NOW

Hi dear, lovely video. Could you please let me know the Aristotle statue location in Athens, I am planning to go in November, found on internet Socrotes and Plato statues location at Academy of Athens. Please help if anyone knows. Regards

Great Song dynasty of China Was The Beginning Of Modern Society, you don't see half shoulder western clothing as trend in the world don't you

Horrible three or four commercials in the first 15 minutes

Patton was there

After 476 AD we have the Byzantine Empire, also Greek, named by the Greek colony of Byzantas - Byzantium is the city Constantinople (he was near Megara). Many people didn't know that all Turkey was Greek before 1453. These places were Greek since the colonization of Asia Minor in 1200 BC !

Greece was not a Democracy. Most Greek City States were tyrannies or Oligarchies. There were great civilizations elsewhere, but Greece is touted as the first civilization? Please.

Ancient Athens = England

Too much praise and veneration of democracy, which originally meant only the technical method of administration, namely the voting system, but which now refers to the contents of administration and decision making, namely the leftist ideology.

I'm excited to visit Greece this year!

. Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤🕊

Only in the eyes of Athenians was Athens synonymous with "Greece." They looked upon everyone else the way New Yorkers look upon "fly-over America" -- ignorant, boorish, and backward. [No Athenian would ever kill his father and marry his mother, ---just a redneck Boeotian!] It was this arrogance that made it OK to appropriate the Delian Treasury to build monuments on their own Acropolis, So eventually, as in their tragedies, hamartia led to their downfall.

So just remember, democracy haters the world over - don't blame the UK & USA - blame 2500-yr.-old Athens.

As a US citizen, I can honestly say we are certainly on the decline. I wonder how long the species will last.

If I had to take this class

Still blown away

Mind blown away

Does anyone know how old this documentary is? When was it first released?

👏👏

Really effed it up now didn’t they…

The most hilarious title I've heard in a while. How could Greece be the beginning of modern society when they copied so much of what they brought forth from other groups and peoples and remixed it. 🤣

What lead Athens or Greece to become the first democracy, birthplace of philosophy and science and modern society... What were the underlying factors? These questions still need to be answered...

This is an old historical view. There are other players in setting the historical foundations for the modern world

Anyone else just found these videos & absolutely addicted to them? I love learning all about ancient society 😊

👇🏻

And then the Roman Christians came with their backward religion and destroyed Ancient Greece and promoted ignorance. They destroyed Ancient Greek Temples to build ugly churches. What a disgrace for the greatest civilisation ever existed(Ancient Greek)

I dont think Greece influence our society.
Rome definitely did.

The well was where Persian emissaries were kicked down into.

Muhammad Qasim has seen Prophet Muhammad SAW over 300 times in his dreams and describes that our Prophet SAW is in grief & sadness over the state of the Muslim ummah. Muslim ummah must wake up & understand the message of these dreams. Muhammad Qasim Dreams

Goddess Athena wasn't the goddess of victory, she was the goddess of wisdom, olive tree, strategy and war, yet, the Parthenon was made in her honor for the victory of Greece against the Persian empire.

Bull, the sumarians were the first for most things, including government, printing and the Greeks even said they got their knowledge from the past

Kratos killed them all!

have U noticed, like photos of 1800's. The poor live in a diffrent 'class than poo-bahs friends and relitives, it's time we flip their script. Enclose them in their ivory towers and gated communities and stop all deliveries, starve them out, tell the military to stand down and come home to clean up our own Nation. We have allowed this BS for centuries time for equality ww flat wage, sell off their assets, money to the state they represented.

Athens? Didn't Egypt predate Greece by a couple thousand years?

352,858 views and only 4,400 likes ?? Does no one like History anymore ??? 😩😖😵😡😠😬🙄

Everything has to start in Europe, hasn't it?!!?! I mean, although there already exist other ancient Egypt, Chinese and even Cambodian civilization while Europe are still bloody Pagan!

So slaves where payed and free man where rowing in warships ! Yeah Greeks...

Athena is not the Goddess of victory... Nike is !

Cities always fall.

Great Work!

I much appreciated that being searching for this kind of videos. I love ancient Greek culture. I was wondering if you could share about ancient Greek and roman religions?

I love the computer recreation!

I can’t understand British accent. So I had to stop. You only use a British accent making video seen more sophisticated. And you know something? That’s ridiculous.
