When one considers that Greece has long been a seafaring nation, it makes sense.

@@TheGeoScholarven before the greeks the people of the levant settled in modern day Tunisia and made carthage, some say they went as far as modern day Spain. It’s really interesting exploring these small remnant exclaves around the world and their stories. Wish history channels would do it more

Mediterranean coastline isn' t far from home for the Greeks. Besides Plato states that "the Greeks live like frogs around the pond". Far from home for a Greek would have been the Bactrian kingdom in present day Afghanistan.

@@beepboopbeepp there's even a saying ''wherever the greeks came, they found the fenicians.'' and yes of course they went to spain, it was the main destination for carthaginian colonists.

the Greeks were great city builders. i've always been curious why they could grow fantastic cities, but they couldn't grow Greek kingdoms. even Alexander's empire was short-lived and his generals ruled over non-Greeks. it's like the Greeks just couldn't quite expand beyond their cities.

Likewise. Love Greece 🇨🇵♥️🇬🇷 I didn't realize that while visiting Marseille had Greek origin That's amazing to hear

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Nice, Monaco and Antibe as well. Their names were Nikea (Victory), Mono Eco (Isolated house) and Antipolis (Opposite to the town)

@@srfrg9707 You can add Olbia (Hyères) to the list!

The bonds between nowadays France and Greece are ancient. There is a trophy offered by the people from Massalia in Delphi. I dream to visit all the Greek key sites of the Aegean Bronze Age and classical Greece. Much love from France and Massalia.

@@TheFrenchscot Je ne savait pas que Hyères s'appelait Olbia avant. Ὄλβια la bienheureuse?

yes, its Massalia for greeks, Massilia for romans, then Marseille for frenchs

@@gatomu9908 yeah, not sure why someone would use that spelling for it when talking about the ancient greek colony.

modern Greece has nothing to do with Ancient Greek, so talking about modern Greece having a great impact in the world, is nothing more than pathetic Greek nationalistic propaganda. You are not the direct discendent of ancient Greece, your nation exist since 1800.

Try Medieval France: An Encyclopedia. The primary researcher into this city in this period appears to be Daniel Lord Smail. He has some articles also in english.

@@jobvermeeren2542 Thanks, I have just checked my alumni university library and I can borrow the encyclopaedia as well as books by Smail.

i make them my allies to have a foothold in the region.. of course i always choose a Greek city so i make all the other Greek cities my allies in order to have a foothold everywhere around the Mediterranean and Black sea (Syracuse, Cyrene, Salamis etc)

both the 2D and the 3D are from a game called imperator rome, which is a strategy game about the hellenistic period of the ancient world.

Know How when are you going to another video about the Ancient World?, and when you do so, can you make the subject about the Greek Colonies in the Black Sea and their interactions with the Scythians and Sarmatians?

I am planning to do that soon, but for now I am working in a video about sicilly and then i will be doing one about phoenicia, the bosporan one should come after those!

First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire, which included Charlemagne yes

Imperator rome!

According to some maps I saw, it was together with Mauretania a vassal

Egypt was a tributary of Rome, and the father of Cleopatra and Ptolemy had granted the Roman Senate the status of executor of his will, basically giving them the power in who the next pharoah would be (in effect making those pharoahs their puppet). Ptolemy was actually trying to honour Ceasar by giving him the head of Pompey Magnus, just showing how intertwined with Rome the late Ptolemaic Kingdom was.

No, Egypt didn't become part of Rome until 30bc. The map is too generic and shows Rome around it's height in the 2nd century. In 600bc when Massalia was founded Rome was still a kingdom and only a single city, though it had growing influence over the other Latin cities.

they sacked Φώκαια (Phocaea), the ancient city in Minor Asia, where Πυθέας (Pytheus), who established Μασσαλία (Massalia), was from. This is stated in the video. Persians were not in Gaul, as you misheard.

@@Cleopatra_Philadelphis ohh i see, terrible video editing

@@DrFeelgood1127 what that's how history narration works sometimes you have to go back and forth between cities to tell a story the coastlines clearly change after the transition and the landscape as well and he literally says Phocaea. tbh i also got confused when i saw it but only for a second xd

Defining the status of certain countries during that era is difficult. It was under nazi control (partially), and wasn't an independant country either. In addition, the southern coast of Vichy was occupied by the Wehrmacht after 1942 - it wasn't under Vichy french control for the vast majority of the war.

The Whole North of France was under Nazis. While The South was still reamain freed

Liar.

Deport them all..

Why does it matter? You and I both knew what he meant.

@@ofallmyintention9496 They are shorter, mean the same thing, and will cause less confusion 1000 years from now when historians might begin to wonder why from 2012-2022 all date references changed for no good reason at all. Why don't we make stop signs yellow?

This is how rich Gauls were being buried around 530bc (70 years after the Greeks founded Marseille): upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Hochdorf_Chieftain%27s_Grave_reconstruction.jpg/1280px-Hochdorf_Chieftain%27s_Grave_reconstruction.jpg The bacon/salted pork mentioned in the video as a trading item of Marseille came from the Gauls. They prepared it, loaded it onto river boats, and transported it down river to the Greeks. The community that created the grave above was a bit far away for that, they made their money mining salt in the mountains. That salt was then sold to those making salted pork for Greek and Roman markets. The largest Greek bronze "cauldron" was found in a similar grave dating to around 500bc. The cauldron was used for holding wine at feasts and could hold 1100 litres, that's around 1466 bottles of wine.

Actually they weren't as barbarians as the Roman propaganda wanted to portray them.

You cannot judge with your eyes 2600 year later Colonisation has a total different meaning as it comes from Latin In greek is called AΠΟΙΚΙΑmeaning away from home finding a new land to settled because basically there were problems at home Like in this case the Persians had occupied Phokæa Can you tell me few bad things the the greek AP ŒKIA Has done that otherwise according to your WOKE mind wouldn't have happened?

Sad state it has become. Illegal migrants have destroyed it

Celtic, Old Greek, and Albanian languages are all direct offshoots of the indo-european language. The language similarities aren't just a coincidence!

@@excathedrax It was first attested to in the 15th century, which means it was the first verifiable point in which it was spoken distinctly. It's a direct descendant of Dardanian or Dacian-Moesian. Just like modern Greek is vastly different from ancient Greek. Language is an evolution, it doesn't just appear fully formed

France needs better border security

Idk why you corrupted the word Europe to Eurabia, you don't need to do that, since the word "Europe" itself is semitic 😊 so the identity of those people is a Canaanite (Phoenician) word, and the early origin of Canaanites in the Southern Arabian peninsula. (By the way Canaanites/Phoenicians founded most of the important cities in Iberia and regions around, before those lands and cities were stolen by Roman and Germanic invaders, who were expelled by Arabs in the 8th century when they took back the lands if their cousins, and then lost it again to Germanic dynasties who kept it until today)

@@branis96 i don't care about semite cousins, take them all for yourself. Nique ta m, atay

Before it was "filled to the brim by Persians", first it was filled to the brim by foreigners (Gauls and Franks) same thing with Iberia which was mostly a Canaanite-founded land (Phoenicians) and now it's filled to the brim by foreigners.

🤣

According to Western studies themselves, The civilizations of pre-history of Europe was Neolithic, the Neolithic farmers were people from the Arabian peninsula, and modern Arabs have the most genetic similarities to the Neolithic farmers who created the cultures of pre-history Europe The word Europe itself is semitic, and related to the Canaanite language, and the origin of Canaanites is the Southern Arabian peninsula Talking about Canaanites (Phoenicians), they were the people who founded most of the important cities and civilization in Iberia and Southern Europe in general, before those cities and civilization were invaded and stolen by foreign Romans and Germanics Read obvious history to teach ignorant arrogant rude people.

you are far behind in comprehending physiognomy

it is an inhabitant of the Mediterranean. you thought that the people of southern Europe were blond, blue-eyed vikings.

Marseille is French but lmao, Massalia is greek Can garantee you Phoenicians werent exactly the dominant group in the area, although they most definitly traded there

​@@erwannthietart3602Canaanites (Phoenicians) founded most of the important trade cities in Iberia and Southern Italy Saying that they weren't the dominant people in the area proof that your knowledge of history is low.

@@branis96 and it shows you are utterly ignorant in Geographie, Iberia and Southern Italy (arguable on the latter since Greeks were the dominant one on the mainland, and Sicily was highly contested). Marseille is in SOUTHERN FRANCE/GALLIA NARBONENSIS, Massalia a Greek founded city was the one and only dominant power on its surrounding seas, not the entire Western mediteranean mind you but it was an undeniably powerfull Greek city-state in its area, the most the Phoenicians got in Massalia wouldve been its own area because they were the biggest trading partner thanks to Carthage. In Narbonensis Massalia dominated, not the Phoenicians

And how you prove that you said??

My friend Μασσαλία means the town who cranch salt it's difficult to said in English

NONSENSE

🤦🤦🤦

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You seriously in every video about ancient massalia trying to prove it was Albanian...lol what a loser

Yes, Albanians are… Greeks Italians French English and most importantly the first to reach the moon. Peace.

A republic is a type of democracy. I do not know where this whole "Republic not a democracy." came from. What you are talking about is a direct democracy. One is representatives elected, to make rules, by the people the other is directly elected or rules imposed by the people.
