I am really really excited to do more of these tours as it just comes to life when you can walk through the locations

@@InvictaHistory I would love them :D

I agree. There it is done

@Andro mache wow ! What other buildings do they have that are similar to ancient Greece style ?

@@InvictaHistory Please do! I loved this video. I rarely watch videos of this length on KZfaq but I was engrossed by this one. I was disappointed when I realized it wasn't a channel series.

Zach Sanchez that’s what I said to the class

I agree!

That would demand some heavy computer budget for the schools :P But I guess the kids can do it in groups.

It is great and all, but it is still a game. Although fairly accurate through scriptures and ancient texts, it is not 100%, and some subjects were added for the flair of it being Assassins Creed. In the end, I love history. I am thoroughly enjoying this game.

@@fyivid videos like this maybe

Was thinking exactly the same thing. Glad you pointed that out to viewers. 🙂

God the Greeks were so smart, that's awesome

@@King-Squid-99 Greeks are incredibly smart! For example, not only did they discover the world was round, but a Greek man named Erastothenes accurately calculated the circumference of the entire Earth by using shadows, wells, and wooden poles around 240 B.C.E. It was only during the dark ages after the fall of Rome that people lost all of the scientific progress before them and would have to rediscover it all. Imagine where humanity would be if we had continued without loosing 1,000 years of scientific progress!

@@aristosbywater9605 I don't quite agree. I've seen that general narrative debated many times.

@@MH-sm5qk you can't argue with accurate math. The evidence is clear based on a 4,000 year old document that states the mathematical equation used to calculate the circumference of the Earth. Very accurate as well based on the result. All the evidence is there, believe it or not

Thanks! Also a more anthropological point-I don’t believe we would have seen all these wealthy well-dressed women walking around exposed and unaccompanied. Upper-class women in Athens were largely confined to the home and when they went out they covered their heads and at least part of their faces.

There are also many statues which are staright up fantasy or some reliefs or statues taking out of context. Like on the base of a statue was a relief from a tomb stone.

@@sazji Yep, life for women in ancient Athens was more reminiscent of life under the Taliban than under modern democracy. Plus there would have been regular animal sacrifices and even the occasional human sacrifice (pharmakós) during such festivals as the Thargelia. The Classical world has been so idealized for so long that many people assume that places like Athens were egalitarian paradises, which of course is far from being true.

Very insightful. Thanks.

@@valmarsiglia compared to much of the rest of the world at that time and previously, that's exactly athens was. we've come a fair way since then, but we have a long way to go still before we can call ourselves truly civilised.

But there's assassin in the name of the game! It has to make gamers assassin's! /S

mfaizsyahmi. You mean he causes more violence then

@woollimy I would say europa universallis is

GREEKS ARE NOT BROWN PEOPLE

Anton Drexler they have olive skin

Dimosthenis Karamparpas but overall the game is accurate or no?

Dimosthenis Karamparpas great point and I knew that and that’s why I was wondering while playing this game. So overall as a game though you would approve of it? I live in America so I wouldn’t really know. Also I’m curious because I like to explore and gain knowledge in things in life and I hope to travel to Greece one day.

Delphi used to be great. I love the place. Cool game

VERY STRONG FANTASTIC MOVIE. MISTAKES AND MISTAKES. Read my short comment today

It looks remarkably like the real place. Blew me away and I hadn’t been to Delphi for like 6 years

No

@@HondaCivicsisedan ????

Lucky you guys. Been there many times it’s an amazing site 😘

ONLY THAT THE STATUE OF ATHINA WAS INSIDE THE PARTHENON AND NOT OUTSIDE ( MADE BY FIDIAS , FROM COLD AND IVORY )

@@panayotispanayotis1901 There were two statues of Athena, one inside the temple, Athena parthenos (maiden) made by Phedias from gold and ivory and the other, Athena Promachos, was a colossal bronze statue of Athena sculpted by Pheidias too, which stood between the Propylaea and the Parthenon.

It will rot their brain. smh

It only rots when they watch rotten productions...

I heard that in the voice of Socrates who was actually against the "new" trend of writing things down.

@@jaskey Holy shit so you know what Socrates sounded like?

In Athens they use to sit on a chair to study

Ive had antique coins with that owl on too. They are cool AF, but often pricey :/

Yes it is on the 1 euro coin that greece mints!

They were also depicted on drachmai coins for over 2500 years until they chamged it for the euro in the 2000s. So its an homage to continue the old tradition .

All Greek euro designs are beautiful, in contrast to the countries who just put politicians and royalty on their coins. (imo)

@@RomanCourier you should see the drahmas.. they looked cool af

@Megas Pantelos Are you serious? Its like asking the Egyptians to destroy the pyramids and build new ones just because they look old after 4000 years. Acropolis and parthenon are worlwide known not because their architecture characteristics but because the history behind them. If you want to see the Parthenon in its former glory go to USA where they copied it or invent time travel you genius. I really hope that you are not Greek and if you are you are the new definition of unworthiness.

@Megas Pantelos ότι θα έβρισκα άνθρωπο να υποστηρίζει την διάλυση της Ακρόπολης και την επαναστυλωση της δεν θα το πιστευα

Έτσι ήταν η Αθήνα εχει περάσει πολλούς πολεμους και καταστροφες

@Megas Pantelos You have no respect for Athenian people because their Government won't destroy ancient sites?

Does it have the cliff steps on the north side of Acropolis with the Klepsydra underneath ? I'll be really impressed if there are !!/..

It doesnt look like this anymore

If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend the game. I've been having a great time with it from a gameplay perspective, and they recently added this Discovery mode which is more of a self guided tour of ancient Greece. It's free if you own it or you can get it as a standalone product.

YES , BECAUSE WE ARE THE MOTHER OF CIVILISATION AND THEY HAVE GOT INSPIRED .ONLY THAT THE STATUE OF ATHINA WAS INSIDE THE PARTHENON AND NOT OUTSIDE ( MADE BY FIDIAS , FROM COLD AND IVORY )

​@@panayotispanayotis1901 it is there in video, inside at the back of Parthenon. Watch entire video. The one outside was there too but was made of bronze. smh.

@@panayotispanayotis1901 there were other civilizations at this time such as China and India...

Was it the 5th or 6th front column of the Erectheion that is kept in London ?

@@hyekang3850 third from the left

AKA Fortnite.

lmao

@@benisrood I actually am a volcel now but for a while was an incel admittedly.

Darn Chad cults…

fun fact! virgin in the context of ancient greece meant more along the lines of "an unmarried woman" than "someone who hasnt had sex" :)

@@QualityPen These were religious structures built over many years to praise the gods. Ordinary Greek people would live in very simple stone homes.

@@QualityPen Because there are more metrics that can be used for measuring progress in society than just the architecture of certain temples? Just a thought.

No any"Greeks"in ancient time. They were just Pelasgo Illyrians. ILLYRICUM PENINSULA named today as"Balkan" PARTHENON=PAR+THE+NON Mean:"In the memory of our either swear-promise which light it!!" Only by Albanians and Albanian language!!

@@guritarasi8732 No they are Greeks..

@@barozzi_ Well Roma built by the Annea's grandchildren and he was Dardanian Prince of Troy.Dardanian was Pelasgian tribe. "Greek's"doesn't existed then🤣🤣

Thanks! I really really did enjoy this format for sharing content. Everything just becomes so much more approachable and it all seems to click.

You forgot science, philosophy, math :)

@@udishomer5852 That is very true, friend. Considering some of these are among my interests, I am ashamed of my failing memory with these. D:

@@udishomer5852 u forgot slavery too

@@udishomer5852 And the animal and occasional human sacrifices, the slave-based economy, and women being forbidden to leave their houses unless accompanied by a male relative, and forced to cover their heads and faces when in public.

YES!

It would be great if you could do the Athenian agora.

@@InvictaHistory perhaps Corinth and sparta? Your channel is so damn good

@@InvictaHistory THANK YOU! remember the last assassins creed also had this discovery mode. It takes place in Roman Egypt and I enjoyed their history tours very much!

@@InvictaHistory Please, make more!

fast food burgers?

Agreed. Did someone already suggest using a controller for these kinds of guides. To make the camera movements more smooth in general.

I literally can't watch this because of all the jostling. If he wants to add in some kind of indicators on screen to show emphasis, that would be better than shaking the camera. Motion sickness is a thing.

Hi TheZappan99! Thanks for bringing up a very important point that I was afraid to bring up and sound like I was complaining about such a good endeavor as this. This is a masterpiece of representing Athens so realistically, but right away my eyes were very fatigued by the for some reason hurried and jerking motions of the point of view and had to alleviate that somewhat by not going with full screen. If this is virtually interactive, or whatever the technical term is, I think they should re-do this.

Absolutely, ... motion sickness and eye strain due to the inexperienced, jerky camera handling is a major put-off for this otherwise amazing presentation... pity. It's thumbs down for me.

Agree... It's a nice video but I can't finish it. 😭🤮

Well he could play assassin's creed brotherhood😂. It's set during the Renaissance though so the forum is already in ruin, but I guess it's a start.

@@verdantspectrum8892 in ac brotherhood thw forum is massively scaled down

haizzz, I always wanted a remake of the AC renaissance, with a more detailed of Roma, Venice.

It's not very factual though. This is somebody's fantasy of an idealized Athens that never existed.

The problem is, as far as I know, we have only very limited knowledge of Sparta compared to Athens. Best example is that the most detailed description of Spartan society was written by a foreigner and not a Spartan. Im not sure there are that many archaeological things left eather. I mean Sparta did literally die out over a long period of time (with the Romans turning it into some kind of ancient amusement park ^^).

@@noobster4779 I agree with your comment. The Spartans were not renowned for their art or architecture. After their victory over Athens in the Peloponnesian war they generously refused to sack Athens in recognition of its unique contribution to Greek culture, though they did tear down the extensive walls that surrounded the city and had successfully kept them out for years. It would be nice to see a recreation of Delphi, the site of the scared oracle. It was a neutral religious site for all Greeks, where each city state competed to create the most elaborate dedications with buildings and art intended to glorify both themselves and the pantheon of Greek gods.

@@noobster4779 In fact, Thucydides wrote thus: "Suppose the city of Sparta to be deserted, and nothing left but the temples and the ground-plan, distant ages would be very unwilling to believe that the power of the Lacedaemonians was at all equal to their fame. Their city is not built continuously, and has no splendid temples or other edifices; it rather resembles a group of villages, like the ancient towns of Hellas, and would therefore make a poor show."

@@justinove7521 I think that you are correct that the city Sparta itself would be a disappointment to see when compared to the legendary reputation that the Spartans themselves have gained as warriors. Spartan society was based around a system that enslaved the local Laconian Greeks who neighboured Sparta, these helots were tasked with all the unpleasant practical activities needed for the maintenance of their city state. Therefore the fulltime occupation of native male Spartans was the subjugation of their huge and rebellious slave population. Spartans had little interest or need to do anything else, which would probably extend to a lack of enthusiasm in elaborate city building, art or architecture.

Sparta as a settlement (I wouldn't even call it a city) was not exactly impressive. It was small and very rural, with few artisans or any other industries not devoted to agriculture or war-smithing. One thing the game gets right it that it is much smaller in comparison to Athens; though the giant ugly statues and large temples were probably poetic license. The word "Spartan" today connotes something that is spare but also utile. These were people who had a cultural disdain for luxury items and frivolities (At least at first. That would soon change). For a time even the use of gold as a currency was outlawed, the Spartan preferring to trade in iron, which unlike gold they felt they actually had more use for. That would change as Sparta grew in power and wealth; large influxes of war booty changed the Spartan economy to one that was more like its neighbors; later archeologic records of gold, ivory, and fine pottery showed a growing Spartan taste for luxury items. The large numbers of Spartan men killed in wars of conquest also had unforeseen effects on the Spartan economy and culture: Spartan women, who unlike women in most other Greek city-states had the legal right to own property, began owning more and more of it, and unlike their conservative-minded warrior husbands did not see any problem with diversifying their family portfolios with businesses and investments beyond slaves and agriculture.

Muh content!

The gold Ivory Statue is indeed inside the temple, maybe you haven't watched the video entirelly and stopped on the Big bronze one outside

There were two statues, one outside and one inside (which is also in the game) The statue outside was about 30-40 ft tall I think, so maybe only slightly shorter than it appears here.

shouldve watched the whole video first lol

should not have been a retard and should have kept watching. A good lesson for the future, never comment without watching the whole thing. Greetings from Crete

Dude, this is Athena Promachos.

He hasn't done one yet but in the meantime I have my video of Michells Fold one of the locations my history discretion is in the subtitles. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odKYo6VenKqtpmw.html

New AC is set in the Viking era

there were 2 games set in rome the upcoming one wont be in rome

i... i dont think they delayed that, they didn't even announce it. also pretty sure legion turned out to be Watchdogs

@AMH MRD take a 10seconds look into viking history and you'll see how wrong you are.

@Duncan I’m sure they’ll do a great job! But if the vikings wear horned helmets... 💥

The game devs put dark skinned people in the game for the sakes of diversity. It's historically inaccurate.

@@boobio1 Well Greeks tan in the summer they don't turn pink but these literally look like Hindus. But again what diversity they're all Greeks

As well as Delos!

yeah you're right but the horse should have penises

Ubisoft made their impression on my with Prince of Persia so it’s little surprise now tbh

Amazing idea

What about the life-sized original in Athens?

Mitsvan Mitsvanio Because the Athens one is mostly destroyed and covered by scaffolding.

Your just jumpy
