Did you just call the ancient Greeks a bunch of immigrants, you dog

Did you just imply there's something wrong with immigrants?

Can we get a Geographics on Western Sahara?

@@slcpunk2740 There is nothing wrong with being an immigrant, some people become immigrants to avoid dictatorships, some people become immigrants to avoid economic hardships, hell , some people even become immigrants to be able to afford mercedes benz + iphones! There are however fundamental differences between immigrants, who are no longer part of something , nomads, who roam as a group, and people with hierarchy, laws and social ranks/roles who have a cohesive society , much like the city-states were.

You might consider doing a Geographics presentation on Southern Alberta's Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. A UNESCO World Heritage site where a now lost way of life can be explored.

Amazing comment. The last sentence got to me particularly. I’ve always studied Ancient Greece since a small child. The idea of standing where they stood is unfathomable. The idea of seeing something you have studied 😔 one day I will have the chance to see it. Have a great day!

if you go check out the castle and old mosques (cami) in Sucuk nearby - you can walk right up to the top of the castle right in the middle of town on a hill

Likewise, I went in 1996, and it was marvellous! Really interesting to hear its history!

I visited as well.

I thought the same when visiting.

Also visited and lucky enough to chance upon an impromptu a capella performance in the theatre and appreciate its acoustics

I visited in 1967 as a young kid, and it left a lasting memory that to this day I still remember. A truly fascinating place that deserves as much popularity as the Pyramids at Giza.

Made it to your profile pic too!

That’s an unusual cruise...not many took that route and all have stopped going to Egypt. Perhaps we passed on the ship!

@@maggievalipsciari4179 Kusadasi is the closest port and has several cruise ships in daily in season. Not that unusual

Good thing you didn't get married in 2020!

@Hakan Aybars you have an amazingly beautiful country - I do hope to make it back again one day.

@Hakan Aybars thank you so much 😊

How would I aquire a private tour guide? I’d like to know for future reference.

@@paulA-xs1qt Hi. The company that arranged my sightseeing trips was Innovative Travel Company / Ancient Kingdoms Holidays. Their local agent in Istanbul is Global Travel Services phone (0090 212) 219 5197 or fax (0090 212) 219 5196. Or maybe contact Hakan in the comments above?

@Hakan Aybars Merhaba! My ex was originally from Yenipazar and living in Buldan. I was able to see so much of your beautiful country, Pammukale/Hieropolis, Laodikea, Selcuk, Sirince, Efes, Kusadasi etc. I loved it so much, I almost moved there.

My ex lived just northwest of Pamukkale in Buldan, very well known for their textiles. We visited Pamukkale/Hieropolis, Laodikea, Denizli, Efes, Selcuk, Sirince, Kusadasi and many other amazing villages. It was the greatest 2 months of my life.

Yeah I definitely saw the difference between my US History and my Modern History from 1500 Professor. The former was dry and went through his power point slides line by line and occasionally offering his own political opinions. The latter however did not really lecture from a powerpoint and really immersed himself in the material by just explaining the lives and philosophies and even doing a little act for some of the quotes or to express the feelings the people from history had. He frequently ran past the time that he assigned his material so lectures often carried over and he had to skip some parts as a result but I didnt care as I enjoyed every one. I took notes to process the lecture, but never needed to look at them again because the lectures were so detailed and easy to remember because of his delivery and acts. There was very little homework given out and because of the quality lectures, I didnt need to study for the tests. I learned so much from that class. Another interesting side was the amount of people that skipped class in US History but not the other. My modern history professor didnt take attendance like the US History prof, but encouraged attendance because of his in-class assignments and how most of his test material was from his lectures rather than the textbook (which didnt need to be purchased or read). The classroom was always fuller as a result. He still allowed for some skipping because only 10 in-class assignments were needed for 100% attendance and what made 40% of your final grade, while 13 were given throughout the semester. The twist was that you didnt know when he was going to give an in-class assignment :).

Accept he genuinely thought he was a god and the ancestor of God's so probably shrugged it off as "yhea I guess you're right." I often wonder what it's like to truly believe yourself a God and how that would make you feel, act and behave. It must be really really hard to not act like a total shit all the time and expect every whim and want delivered to your feet. Which apparently, for much of his life Alexander wasn't. Even with his mum constantly pushing him to behave that way and trying to convince him it was how he should act. Yes he's supposed to have started getting worse and worse the older he got but for much of his short life he was apparently a fairly open, fair and as down to earth as a person could be when they are constantly being treated like and told they are a god. Take his meetings with Diogenes of Sinope where Alexander is said to have asked him what he wanted and his want would be fulfilled to which Diogenes was supposed to have replied "you could move out of my sun light". Now many like Alexander might have been offended by this, his friends with him even thought that these would be Diogenes's last words but Alexander thought it was funny and is supposed to have said "if I hadn't been born Alexander then I'd want to be Diogenes." to which Diogenes said "Well if I hadn't been born Diogenes then I too would like to be Diogenes." Again Alexander took this well which for most rulers back then would have been rare and an amazing reaction, let alone the most powerful man in the world and someone who believed they were a God. This tells me that thanks to Alexander's amazing education and up bringing being taught by one of the greatest philosophers of the day that he understood just how important philosophy and learning were and just how much respect he had for those who were involved in it.

Ephesus is legitness

Except that white marble buildings were generally richly decorated with paint in gaudy colours, so, not so much how they looked over a millennUM ago.
