Wow! Am I the first one here?
Thanks for the great historical content. You’ve helped inspire my own channel. 😊
Ptolemaic Alexandria is a city where I would like to live, an PERFECT city❣❣❣
these documentaries are so good. I learn more here than in college
TO say Athena is Goddess of victory is to ascribe to the 2 in one goddess idea which I find a little dumb in that there are no other 2 in one gods in the pantheon
Nike a totally other goddess is goddess of victory
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.
I'm grateful for curious people who have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. If the world were full of me we would know nothing about the ancients and I wouldn't have these fascinating videos to watch lol. I love ancient history.
so-called "democratic Athens" was made up of male chauvinist proprietors, excluding women and, of course, slaves. it was not democratic as we understand that term today. yes, it was an advance from absolute monarchy, but one should have no illusions about the kind of "democracy" that Athens was…
Interesting pieces of ancient history, thanks for these
