Yeah those 16 foot spears kept the Hoplites at bay on a skewer.

Not a "Greek" anything, but sure

@hellfruit5612 Save for the fact that they self identified as Hellenes, and their land as Hellas, spoke Greek, wrote Greek, worshipped Greek Gods, descended from Greek tribes, and participated in the exclusively Greek Olympic games, and were identified as Hellenes by friend and foe alike, if not Greek then what?

thats already a better title then the title of the video. its confusing to separate the macedonians from the other greeks like the title of this video does. why people still do this...

200 dead with 2k for the greeks.... actually not that bloody if you do think about it without the movie views creeping in. Civil War, Great War or WW2 battles were worse by far. The real hell scene would have been a city like Tyre, where Alexander put it to the sword after siege. Thousands of men women and children killed, thousands more raped and brutalized with survivors sold as slaves. Makes you long for the comparative safety of the battlefield.

@@katwooten905 It's part of human history and prehistory, probably began with the elimination of the Neanderthals. Mass murder has happened again & again. Today's woke horror of colonialization is amusing considering extermination often the alternative. My first shock to romanticising antiquity was what the "noble" Athenians did to Melos. Just wait until the "glories" of WWIII.

@@katwooten905 Or what he did to Thebes after Chaeronea, the near total destruction shocked the other Greek city-states. Alexander's army was not well funded either; they had to win to eat after this as they went south. They were broke. That changed when they got Darius's gold later.

it's a game total war rome 2 if im correct

@@rory6860 Oh i didn't know that. Thank you!

"Animation"? I thought it was surveillance. hehe

Alexander saw them as traitors so he killed them out of anger or to send a message. The losses were possibly worth the reward of all Greeks knowing they would be shown no mercy if they joined Persia.

Alexander learned his lesson. The Greeks his father spared were the core of those who revolted against his rule…and Alexander burned Thebes to the ground.

Bull shit.. -" GREEKS don't know how to win"- said Philip during the battle.

Greeks votes for them for many reasons. To be able to access the world. To learn what is the truth. They can't handle it obviously.

With some rare satellite footage, I think. ;)

Thank you

are you a professional historian and do you agree with the opinion presented in the title that the macedonians were not greek? if you agree with this your educational and intellectual level is lower than amoeba.

art eckstein .Do you agree that what distinguishes the Makedonians from the rest of the Greeks? And you are also a historian unacceptable.

And more gruesome than the lame animations.

Very bad language

Ineed, very personal too, not like today where we majority fight and kill at a distance, this warfare was in close. You had to physically dispatch the man in front of you and so on, you looked the man in the eyes when you fought him, and If you killed him, or as he kills you.

he falsifies history and presents the Macedonians as non-Greek. The guy knows nothing about history.

that would be another lesson, only so much can be crammed into 17 minutes, just saying

Concordo totalmente.

We have so many detailed information about Alexander's campaign because Anabasis of Alexander was written by Arrianus ,who was a military commander. It was written almost 4 centuries after Alexander the great but he had access to the original script of Ptolemy's "Alexander's Actions".

@@thanostnt correct! but the reasons of so so meagre data on Chaeronea still remain unclear. Hellenic world was a highly advanced society then, and their bureaucracy must have included scrutinized accounts on such an epochal event. If we can know that 300 Spartans "had been combing their hair the night before the last battle at Thermopylae" some 150 years hitherto, or the names of all and sundry Persian courtier during Xenophone's Anabasis, how come there's no mentioning of such outstanding figures as Parmenion and/or Antipater who - most probably - were around Phillip that day?

@@thanostnt See, this is why I LOVE ancient history.

thanks for stopping by 😎

History lover in general not just greek

i think greek or no greek , the title is not correct. its confusing to say the least for the ignorant.

It's a intentional lie he speaks!

As usual, the same disgusting lies from the Slavo-Bulgarians. Only Demosthenes called them barbarians, in an attempt to save the Athenian Republic. Macedonians were and are only from Greek origin. They took part in the Olympic games. Only Greeks could participate. According to ancient texts, they were considered Greeks by the Persians. They spoke a Greek dialect (proof " the katadesmos of Pella) and another proof : they spread the Greek language and culture.

You came in the area 800 years later ,please shut the fuck up,you Bulgarian blooded liar

Not exactly, The southern Greeks did not look on the Macedonians like they did the Persians and Egyptians. The southern Greeks accepted the Macedonians as 100% Greeks, and the Macedonians themselves proclaimed proudly and forcefuly and insistently that they were Greeks.The term 'barbarian' had many meanings in ancient Greece it also meant Backward and uncivilised and or speaking in a rough and vulgar dialect of Greek. Athenians also called Spartans and Elians barbarians to name but a few. So Macedonians were labelled as backward and uncivilised because they were a monarchy and did not have a Poleis citizen state structure.

what do you mean by Great Video? The Macedonian Empire did not Conquer Greece. A city-state called Macedonia conquered the rest of the City States. The Roman Empire conquered Greece. The Ottoman Empire conquered Greece. When the Spartans attained Hegemony over Greece, we don't say the Spartan Empire conquered Greece.

@ektorpolykandriotis635 it's a great video because he did a great job visually showing it, it was very easy to understand what happened. I know the Macedonians were Greek.

The way Alexander leading his cavalary across the field between Macedon army and Greek lines is great

@@ahmarelvirgio823 both belligerents were Greek.

@@ektorpolykandriotis635 To be accurate , it was not "a city state". It was a Greek/Hellenic kingdom, that united the rest of the Greeks , with the aim to attack Persia. The unification of course was violent. In Greece/Hellas, there were many different political statues at the time, there were city-states, there were kingdoms too (like the Macedonian kingdom [Μακεδονικό βασίλειο] and the kingdom of Ήπειρος , where Pyrros [Πύρρος] became a king some years later). The re were also Greeks in north Italy and the whole Sicily, usually in city states. Those Greeks were not part of the political unification that Philip and Alexander did, they had their own problems with Romans and Carthage , they did not care about Persia.

Wdym? Why would greeks want to forget their own history?

@@WarAndHistory. You are so very welcome ..I suggest the name of the title to change a bit like to be more topicistic,i mean for ex. Macedons Phalanx VS Athenians or smthing like this.Greeks is a very general call.

What 2 empires are you talking about? What was happening here is : North Greeks (Macedonians) fighting against South Greeks (Athenians and Thebans and others). Their armor was quite similar, but the North Greeks (the Macedonians) had developed the long pike (σαρισα) , and had better cavalry.

@@georgiosdoumas2446 the Romans and Persians. Look at the Greek armour and helmets. It’s literally like if a Persian took hold of Roman gear, and then updated it all with a Persian spin.

are you implying that the Macedonians were not Greek?

@@user-qm8gh3eo1u Hi It seems that you did not understand me. Of course that Macedonians were Greek however they conquered other Greeks cities and dominated them. Besides I think that You have to admit that Macedonian army was quite different than other greeks armies. And because of those differences was far more deadly for all enemies including other Greeks armies. Regards

@@danok. before the Macedonians, the rest of Greece was dominated by the Minoans, the Mycenaeans, Athens, Sparta, Thebes. The strongest dominated the rest. As for the Macedonian army, what you said is not true because you only know the Macedonian phalanx which was a part of it. indeed it was the most deadly army but it was not so different from the rest of the Greek armies. in the center was the Macedonian phalanx and to its left and right so as not to surround it were the etairoi which was the classic Greek phalanx which however knew how to use the sarisa and to the left and right of the companies were the Thessalian cavalry.the Macedonians had the best that existed in all the Greek armies of Greece so it was not so different from the rest of the Greek armies and the only thing that was different was the Macedonian phalanx.

@@FamMitrevski I, unlike you, know how to read and learn and when I say that I say it with evidence. Just because you are uneducated and you do not mean that the rest of us are too.

We do? Ive been to war dont remember wanting to. Throghout history a large number of soldiers were conscripts. So thats an odd thing to say.

No amount of reason will shake modern Greek faith in the Hellenic ethnicity of the ancient Macedonians and their kings. It is more than a political prefer ence: many Greeks see it as a necessity, despite the inconclusive ancient evidence on the nationality of the Macedonians. But recent scholarship has begun to provide a response to old Greek arguments. There is an insufficient amount of evidence-the existence of Greek inscriptions in the kingdom of the Macedonians notwithstand ing-to know what the native language or dialect was. E.g., several dialects of Greek were used in ancient Macedonia, but what was the Macedonian dialect? The evidence of ancient writers suggests that Greek and Macedonian were mutually unintelligible languages in the court of Alexander the Great. Moreover, if contemporary or his torical opinion from antiquity means anything, the ancient world from the fourth century B.C. into the early Hellenistic period-roughly the age of Philip and Alexan der-believed that the Greeks and Macedonians were different peoples. None of which, incidentally, denies that the Macedonians, at least in their court and gentry, were quite highly hellenized, as recent archaeology has clearly shown. See E. Badian, "Greeks and Macedonians," Macedonia and Greece in Late Classical and Early Hellenis tic Times, Studies in the History of Art 10, ed. B. Barr-Sharrar and E. N. Borza (Wash ington, D.C., 1982). 33-51: Eugene N. Borza, In the Shadow of Olympus: The Emergence of Macedon, rev. ed.

*doesnt elaborate on the countless Athenian orators having a completely opposite opinion* *proceeds to quote the Bible that literally doesn't make a distinction between the Macedons and the rest of the Greeks*

completely ignoring that the official language of Macedon at the time was Attic Greek.

During soccer matches Athenians today will call Thessalonikeans "Bulgarians". It is a derogatory term. Thessalonikeans call Athenians of Olympiacos "smelt" or "gavros" which is a tiny fish. In your genius analysis that is proof that people who live in Athens are actually fish. The Macedonians participated in the Olympics. Only Greeks could do that. There are infinite other references (Alexander's answer to Darius for example) that prove beyond doubt that Macedonians were and are as Greeks as anyone can be.

Go read Daniel 8:1-27 and come back to me more educated. There (in bible) Alexander the Great is referred by archangel Gabriel as the GREEK King and Macedonia as the Greek Kingdom! *Mic drop*

you are just laughable with how uneducated you are. many ancient Greeks when they disliked each other insulted each other by calling the barbarian, unwashed, uncivilized and others. if they wanted to say that the Macedonians were not Greek they would have called them foreigners not barbarians. Macedonians are Greek with Doric roots. I challenge you to find me an ancient source that says and proves that the ancient Macedonians were not Greek, otherwise you are uneducated and a fraud.
