Only the wealthiest of Greek society could afford such luxuries.

I agree with your appreciation of the design of the house with the inter courtyard and I remember a friend whose father was a lawyer and part-time amateur architect and he designed and built himself a house with this design and though not as gracious and intricate as a Greek House the concept was there

​@@godless-clump-of-cells While indeed the very poor in the urban centers lived in smaller houses with often just 2 rooms for the full family, densely positioned usually in the semi-terraced house format and with less built quality (e.g. there were mentions of burglars literally digging up holes in the mudbrick walls to break in!), the typical houses with the inner courtyard such as the one we see here were not really the priviledge of the very rich. The rich just had more luxurious homes, bigger and with more amenities and better built in quality but essentially this layout was more proliferated than among the upper classes only. And we know that precisely due to explicit mentions of typical middle class working people such as potters and sculptors, teachers and doctors working from home, not only having inner courtyards but also specialised rooms on the outer part of the house complex to welcome clients and guests as well as storage rooms for materials etc. The city of Olynthos in Chalkidiki, Macedonia region, is the best preserved one where we can see the full layout of the city and such houses with inner courtyards were common and not really restricted to the leafy areas of the city. We also know this was the case from descriptions such as the failed attempt of Thebans to stage a coup in the much smaller and poorer yet walled and densely populated city of Platea. There 300 Theban hoplites enterred and faced a local population closed in such houses from where they organized their successful resistance counter-attacking and trapping the Thebans in wiping them out. Similarly, Epirotan king Phyrrhus invaded Argos, broke into the city but there engaged in street fights with even women hurling them stones and pottery from the second and third floors of such houses which resembled like mini-towers, thus unfortunately dying after an old woman threw him a heavy pottery on his momentarily uncovered head.

Van Mars Even I prefer it from silly modern apartments.

​@@georgcorfu Who wouldn't prefer a lavish villa over an apartment? The closest structures we have to villas today are mansions. Hell, I'd even argue that some rival the villas of ancient Greece.

I can't take credit for the production itself, that goes to the discovery tour team of Ubisoft, I simply edited their created segments together from the game AC Odyssey to form full length documentaries. Glad you liked it, thank you for stopping by. 👍

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment and watch the video. I am glad you like the content. 👍

@@LookHereMars *****THERE IS NO "GREECE", IT'S A " FICTION CREATION" OF ANADOLLI ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS RADICAL EXTERMISTS - "GREECE" HAS NEVER EXISTED AS WE KNOW IT TODAY********* Read below to learn how the so-called "Greek state and government" were artificially "created" by foreign European powers and Russia during 1821-1832, in a mafia type collusion with the dangerous sect/cult called "Anadolli/Anatolia Greek Orthodox Church". ---------------------------------------------------- Greece” will be soon excluded any participation and denied any and all voting rights in the European Union to any matters related to Albania. This because “Greece” has a flagrant, open and grave conflict of interest as a European Union member related to all matters concerning Albania in the European Union - starting with the Law of the Declaration of War against Albania, which is in effect in the present (i.e. Greece, currently, is in a state of war with Albania), and many other matters that constitute blatant conflict of interest of “Greece” in the European Union concerning Albania. Greece also has not yet paid the reparations of about 600 billion dollars to Albania - regarding the occupation through the Greek territory of Albania by Germany in 1943, and regarding the ethnocide and holocaust of Greece against Albanians in Albania (Chams and Albanians in southern Albania), and against its own citizens of Albanian descent (numbering over 9 million today in Greece). The vote of “Greece” in the European Union is the only thing left for this “Greece” to bully Albania related to all matters in the relations between this “Greece” and Albania. Albanian government should quickly set up a team of qualified attorneys to file a lawsuit with the European Commission to exclude Greece from any decision making in the European Commission regarding Albania. On the other hand, Albanian government should act as an equal and reciprocate - by immediately putting on the table its counter requirements that the European Union and European Commission must fulfill to open the road for the Albania joining the European Union in equal footing and as an equal partner and in parity. One of those non-negotiable requirements should be that “Greece” be excluded immediately from any decision making and vote regarding Albania and Albanian related matters in the European Union and European Commission. European Union and European Commission are not mafia type organizations, ”that will blindly do whatever a member of the mob organization would demand”. This “Greece” is acting like a member of the Camorra and/or a typical “Greek” mob underworld that can force its will on other mobsters by asking for other mob members total submission and obedience to its demands. Greece should also be expelled from the European Union and NATO - as a country that does not fulfill any and all criteria/requirements to be in the European Union and NATO, and because Greece is a dictatorship in the middle of Europe that does not recognize any rights at all for over 9 million Albanians/Arvanites and Chams in Greece. ------------------------------------------------- The so-called “Greece” is a made-up and fake country - made out of ethnic cleansing, racism, holocaust and ethnocide against Albanians (Arvanites and Chams) of Lower Albania. All (100%) leading and senior commanders of the 1821 Albanian/Arvanite revolution in the Lower Albania (called unjustly “Greece” today - a name without any factual and historical meaning), where Albanians (Chams and Arvanites). Up until 1832, all that region (called “Greece” today) spoke only Albanian. Out of 100% of the people living there in that region up until 1832, about 92-95% were Albanians (Arvanites and Chams), the rest (5%) were minorities (Aromanians, Venetians/Italians, Slavs, Turks, Roma). The first session of the first newly elected Parliament in 1832, of this so-called nowadays "Greece", held its full Parliament proceedings in the Albanian language ("Greek/Koine" language did not exist back then in the region/area called “Greece” today). What is appalling to the international community of scientists and historians, is that "Greek" government today has put a total ban on the access, research and publication of the archival documentations (classified as "top secret") of the first Parliamentary session of 1832 in "Greece" - and this is a clear evidence that today, "Greek" government is trying by all and any means in its disposal to hide the historical truth about how this "Greece" of today it came about to be. Albanians are the descendants of Pelasgians and Illyrians (since 10,000 years and more ago). Alexander the Great -was a Pelasgian King of Illyrian/Pelasgian Confederation of Macedonia, falsely presented as "Greek" by con and "planted" historians. The Trojan War - was a war between Pelasgians and Illyrians - both ancient Albanian kingdoms/confederations, falsely represented as “Greek” by con and planted “historians”. Homer's "Iliad and Odyssey" epic poems are Pelasgian era poems - falsely represented as "Greek" by con and planted "historians". The Thermopylae Battle - was a battle between Pelasgian army (Sparta - a Pelasgian city) and Persian army, falsely represented as "Greek" battle against Persians by con and planted "historians". The Koine/”Greek” language (a made-up religious language of Roman Empire times - same as Latin language was a religious language for the western part of the Roman Empire), was forced onto Albanians of that region (Arvanites and Chams) after 1832, through ethnic cleansing, holocaust and ethnocide by European powers (through racist Prince Otto of Germany), Russian Empire of that time, and the dangerous anti-Christian sect/cult called “Anadolli Greek Orthodox Church”. There is no such thing as “Greece”. Greece is a scam country, artificially created by 1832, from the mafia type collusion of corrupt European powers of that time who brought Prince Otto of Germany to power in that region, Russian Empire of that time, and the dangerous anti-Christian sect/cult of so-called Anadolli Greek Orthodox Church of that time (1832). This country so-called “Greece”, has gone entirely bankrupt and belly-up five times from 1832 through 2018, has changed the “official language” of the country two times, and has changed the national flag three times from 1832 through 2019. The latest and current national flag of this “Greece” being a blue-color replica of the East India Company flag (the British company who ruled and controlled all trade to and from India during the British rule in India). This is enough to tell all, who this made-up country really is - a country with no real and true national identity, a zombie country. If it was not for the free money from Germany, Russian Empire and European powers of that time (1832) and European Union now being poured every year to this “Greece” since 1832 through present, this kind of country would cease to exist tomorrow. And the big joke is, that this “Greece” is in a state of war with Albania today. This “Greece” has officially declared war against Albania since October 1940 - through the Law of the Declaration of War against Albania, approved by the “Greek” parliament and the foreign powers’ installed King for “Greece” on October 1940. Freedom and full human and national rights to 9 million Albanians of Lower Albania (called unjustly “Greece” today). Freedom to Albanians of Lower Albania (called unjustly “Greece” today). Albanian should be the official language of the Lower Albania, and the country should be officially called and internationally recognized as Lower Albania.

I thought this looked oddly familiar. But where is the parkour enthusiast with unlimited stamina?!

@@freedomseeker4165 oh god here we go again another Albanian Bulgarian who thinks he’s Greek 😂

I wouldn’t call this use, my guy directly pulled the footage and audio from the game. Completely surprised this isn’t copyrighted.

Unless Ubisoft decides to make an Assassin's Creed based in Mesopotamia, you won't get one..

Greetings apologies for the late reply I will indeed be covering the Middle East and Persian Empire in the future. Thank you for taking the time out to watch the video I am glad you enjoyed the content. 👍

@@LookHereMars thank you my friend for your reply, Mesopotamian civilisations are Sumerian, Babylon, Assyria and Akkad not Persia ☺️

Cheers from Athens!

That's fantastic I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. 👍

Good observations. Work in this period did often commence outside in the naked Sun during daytime hours, be it labour or otherwise, but usually ceased during the hottest hours of the mid day. Work would then typically begin again in the cooler hours of the afternoon and evening. Working location and facilities often depended on the job and the wealth of the individual or business. Wealthy businesses or tradesmen, for example, could afford the likes of indoor workshops with a more protected work space and better equipment, etc. Whereas a poorer tradesman or small business would often run outside market stalls where such things as pottery would be created and displayed out in the open. I imagine logically that poorer workers would have tried to improvise such things as shade and dust protection if needed from whatever basic materials they could get their hands on or afford. The documentary shows various working environments of both richer and poorer workers and slaves. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for leaving a comment.

Thank you for the comment and for taking the time out to watch the video. The discovery tours of the Assasin's Creed games where this footage is edited from do stand to be corrected at times due to Ubisoft taking some historic liberties. But all in all the Discovery tours are a good visual and basic informational dive into History. I hope you enjoyed the content. 👍

It should be, but in the current curriculum of leftist education policies, anything about western civilization, especially the nation that founded western civilization, is considered "racist", among other nonsense

Hello. Yes there will be higher resolution versions of these videos released at a later date. Thank you for taking the time out to watch the video.

​@Thanos Bobotas The presentation itself was developed by Ubisoft for the history tour of the game Assassins Creed Odyssey. I only edited each segment together into a full length documentary style format. I appreciate your pointers thank you I will keep that in consideration.

@@LookHereMars Oh I see! I wasn't aware as I haven't played the game itself. Regardless... Thank you for editing and uploading these! Still a great service for everyone's education!

Hi there! I found this information on Wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adonia Fascinating. I hadn’t heard of these gardens before. Even back in the day they were dismissed as a bit of a women’s activity, it seems. 🙄🤷‍♀️ I wonder if there existed a similar ritual or festival in Ancient Persia? Adonis was “imported” from the East, as was Aphrodite, so that would make sense. 🤔

Hollywood! They will even sell KKK as their own if they can get money! The ancient Greeks they were at around 5th century like the Swiss in 1930's. Around 30% of the population were blonds, while the 70% browned hair. Concerning their ancient heroes almost all of them were blond, except Ulysses who was depicted as darked haired for obvious reasons (I will not explain here). Today most of inhabitants are of anatolic generation, so many of them they fit the depiction of the graphics shown. P.S. What remains of Greece is their reason: they explained the world in terms of reason, rather than religion which currently is the most common view, and that is why we have lasers as well as children that starve.

Modern american politics, ignore it

I wondered too 🤔

Thank you for the comment and for taking the time to tune in and watch the video. 👍

@@LookHereMars No problem!

@Jason Borne The slavery in itself was a problem. The Mediterranean world in this time period lagged behind technologically in comparison to Han China and the Indian Kingdoms. It really ruined the economy. The reason was lack of incentive for innovation. Why create a better manufacturing process or new machinery if you can just throw slaves at a problem until it goes away? They used slaves even for activities that you would consider middle class like shopkeepers and teachers. This made the landed aristocracy very rich but had a disastrous effect on the general population that had to compete in wages with what was essentially free labor. This in turn had effects in the administration of the kingdoms and empires on the Mediterranean World that had perpetual problems to get enough talented and educated manpower to staff the bureaucracy needed to keep the wheels of the State running unlike the Chinese Empire, this made the Mediterranean powers far less estable in the long run.

I suspect..they prolly had color cranked up on the game. However, remember that workers would be much darker as this was long before sunscreen. But that one you mentioned is particularly egregious.

@@mrs.schmenkman2858 Many of the workers look like modern Tunisians or Algerians, like the graphics people had watched Stone''s Alexander movie

As a woman, I absolutely wouldn't want to live in either of those times

@@cassieoz1702 Sucks to be you

@@cassieoz1702 As a woman I think my biggest fear would be childbirth. Staying at home weaving ,cooking and being in charge of my home doesn't sound so bad to me. Men had it pretty hard too, anytime they say "workers/fighters/builders" I believe we could insert the word "man".

@@dburgd99 I think it's probably always a pity party with this one. There's nothing we can do here. Carry on.

Thank you for the comment. From items of text and excavation we know that alloys of Bronze, Copper and Tin were used to produce speculum metal instruments, these instruments when polished worked very well as a mirror. They could range in size from large pieces to small personal hand held items.

Thank you for stopping by. 👍

The whole thing is AC, not just the visuals- they’ve edited together all of the documentary clips from Discovery Mode, none of this is original lol

On the 2021 all so moral response...

@@alejandromolinac Please spare me your sarcastic annotation. No moralizing here and you are barking up the wrong tree if you think I am some "Woke" virtue signalling individual. Just facts to point out that humans are dualistic in nature and we tend to magnify and glorify only one side of the coin, metaphorically speaking, when it is further away in the history of our distant past. In so doing, without showing all the skeletons in the closet we invite history to repeat itself.

nothing wrong with that, i'd argue you'll never be free so long as you depend on others for survival, by growing your own food your survival is self-sustained and not dependent on anyone but you yourself, that's an important skill to have.

"Where is it I've read that someone condemned to death says or thinks, an hour before his death, that if he had to live on some high rock, on such a narrow ledge that he'd only room to stand, and the ocean, everlasting darkness, everlasting solitude, everlasting tempest around him, if he had to remain standing on a square yard of space all his life, a thousand years, eternity, it were better to live so than to die at once. Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!"

Wendy White Not necessarily as some grapes grow wild in many places and can be made into jam, jellies, juices, and why not wines even nowadays.

Just another example of how much more efficient and innovative free markets are as compared to bureaucratic institutions.

@@Laocoon283 true that

Thank you for the correction. These videos however are not my own they are taken from the game Assassins Creed Odyssey. I simply edited the discovery tours together in the game to create documentary style videos.
