I have this feeling that Solon was the Bernie sanders of Greece 😮😢

Complete Rubbish, There Wine Was A Fermented Paste,They Would Add Water.

My wife, being a retired runway model, does not cook.

I had no idea the Romans ate taro! Now I find myself imagining Roman poi! =^[.]^=

I have always been fascinated with and captivated by the concept of the "City-State"... as the idea seems both austere, fascinating and maybe even a bit spooky all at the same time... and I think is partly because when I think of the word "city-state"... my mind immediately conjures up images of a fortified, walled fortress-city that is leery and suspicious of outsiders (i.e., perhaps a bit like the ancient city of Troy... though that image is most likely pushing the point). Also... if there is one vibe that I seem to be picking up on about a city-state above all others (particular so about the ancient Greek city-states) is that they appear to be extremely grounded in who they are as a collective identity. That is... it appears that the people thought of themselves a bit less as individuals and a bit more as a collective citizen of a city-state first and foremost. For example... even the various Greek city-states were all ethnically and culturally Greek and all spoke the Greek language... the Greek people thought of themselves less as Greeks (as a collective Hellenic nation) and much more by their respective Greek city-state first and foremost. In summary... the ancient Greeks were collectively 'united' (albeit, very loosely) by ethnicity and language but that is where the "similarities" appear to both begin and stop. The ancient Greek city-states appear almost clannish or tribal in their respective identities... though it seems to be a bit more complex and/or sophisticated than just that... though not completely or entirely far off from it, either. Hmmmmm??🤔 Here in the USA... we are all united by a somewhat common culture and, of course, the English language that most US citizens speak... but as far as I know, we have no modern concept of the city-state. I think the closest entity that we "might" have here in the USA that may come closest in comparing to an ancient Greek city-state... would be a University college-campus. American university college campuses have their own collective identity... complete with their own bylaws, charters, constitutions, identities, mascots, traditions, "anthems / fight songs" as well as the years that they were founded and by whom (ie, their institutional 'founding fathers' not unlike how the ancient city-states had their own founding fathers). Furthermore... these universities even have their own 'fighting men & women / gladiators' in the form of athletes who 'go to war' in the form of fierce athletic competitions against other university teams... often in colosseum-like arenas and fields. And last but certainly not least... most university campuses have 'Greek-life'... that is, various fraternities and sororities that identify themselves with various letters from the Greek alphabet. If those are not the hallmarks of an ancient Greek city-state... than I don't know what is. Outside of the U.S. and in the modern western world... I think the only modern city (that I am aware of) that would most or best compare to an ancient or classical Greek city-state would the Vatican City in Rome... though I think the Vatican is more accurately described as a modern "nation-state" that is the approximate size of a small town.

If you believe one idiot that invented some story after smoking drugs, you can try to make sense what he says,,, lets all get stoned and try understand him,

Sorry to be pedantic, but those baby carrots at 2:35 are really sticking out like a sore thumb lol. During ancient Roman times, carrots were more often purple or white, and obviously never shaped like that. The research, composition, presentation and lighting that went into these photos weren't bad, I'm just baffled as to why they settled for peeled baby carrots. Maybe that was the only kind they had at the supermarket that day?

The Scythians were a pre-Proto-Tatar race. During the Middle Ages, from the west and east - Ukraine and Central Asia, there was a banal replacement of the population. The nomads themselves also moved from tribal relations to the state. Many migrated, but others formed refugia, superimposing a cultural element on the origins of the people. Therefore, descendants are not some kind of tribe, but rather a concentrate of descendants of tribes. Which is perfectly noticeable in the genetic mixture. For medieval East European Lithuanian, Polish and Russian chroniclers, the Tatars were Scythians. This remained a common opinion all the time. The first Russian book, the 17th century, on the history of the Tatars, is called Scythiсal history. They also believed that the Mongols and Turkish sultans came from the Tatars. But, for some reason, in unknown parts they became evil and ugly before coming from the east. Which makes sense not only for medieval chronographs. First of all, the European Scythians were defeated by the Sarmatians, they do not exist. And the descendants actually have Early Scythian, Hunnic and Sarmatian roots originating directly from the ancient tribes of Altai, western Siberia, and western Mongolia.

love the music.

rabbit milk?? 😀

damn they ate good lol

Great vid, very thorough, thanks. One thing though : there’s no such thing as an electric moray eel. There’s no moray eel that is electric, some types of other eels can be electric.

That Roman food looks highly appropriate for Diabetic IIs and Is. That's exactly the kind of food that the doctors struggle to convince diabetics to limit themselves.

As someone who has raised rabbits, I have to ask, HOW THE HELL DO YOU MILK A RABBIT?

We Bosniaks are of "Goth" origin,as my DNA analysis showed ... Our medieval Bosnian church was "Arian" ... Only Germanic "Goths" followed "Arian" teachings

what did the ancient holy roman empire and prussia eat? is there?

The word KÖR means circle in Hungarian. The word KÖRÖS in Hungarian means a property of circular things. There is such a river, called KÖRÖS because it describes large circular arches in its course before the rivers were regulated. KÓRUS means chorus in Hungarian. According to linguists, it is a Greek word that came into the Hungarian language through Latin transmission. In Greek the word was KOROS, and meant a circle dance. The Hungarian word KÖRÖS, on the other hand, is of Finno-Ugric origin, according to linguists. Are you sure?

Well now they eat Turkish food 😅

They didn't have the peninsulas favorite red fruit yet

Etruscan + Latin + Sabine + Greek = Roman

Their cuisine was so confusing, some of it looks quite delectable, while some of it is just beyond disgusting!

Not a great culture but an assembly of tribal groups around city ‘states’ overrun by Rome later.

Where did you get that beautiful background music from?

I dont know how recent this Video is BUT There is an archeologist who has been searching for the plant Sylphium! In ancient times, there was a Greek city that used to grow the plant. It's quite possible that he may have found it growing wild in mountains type region. The Romans tried to grow and cultivate it. It never grew. Its an interesting subject..thats why i know about it, Garum also.😅

Wonderful video. Thanks. Don't spare the garum.

Neat! I live on Hoth USA it hits -40 C/F here but i didn't realize greece got cold even in the lowlands

I made DNA test and it showed my anchestry connecting with scythians and the mumies from East Turkistan.My y haplogroups R1a Z93 and we are Turks,not indo arian.Indo arian dond make grave(kurgan) and they dont put horse to grave and they dont eat horse.Scythians were not indo arian.Stop stoling Turkish culture.I dont know why you doing this but you stealing Turkish culture.Pls stop producing lie history.

Scythians were protoTurk,not Indo arian.My y haplogroups is R1a Z93,Syntashta culture mans were R1a Z93 too.We are Turk,Our language Turkish.We are not indo arian.European history scientist not honest.Kurgan grave culture were Turks and from Hungaria to East Turkistan the people Turks and speaking Turkish.We dont stole any others culture we only say who we are.And Scythians were Turk and they fought during history agaist indo arians.The Scythians killed the big arian king Ciros,if Scythians were indo arian why they killed the king Ciros!.And The ancient genetics shows that Scythians more smilar to Turks,not indo arian.

Were ploughs wedge-shaped in the past?

Halfway in to the video it seems like modern french cuisine is a mirror of ancient roman cuisine. Fois gras, snails with garlic.

Ancient Macedonia was never in "Hellas" world !!!! And Romans conquered first Macedonia (with the help of Greeks, to free them of Macedonians) and then Greece (1 battle : battle of Corinth).

Greeks generally did not consume cows, and never ate horses and donkeys. Up until 200 yrs ago nobody was eating cows. It's the Brits that brought cows for food in the Ionian islands, which is why to this day, those islands are the only places in Greece that cow butter is traditional, especially Corfu. All modern greek recipes containing beef are either an adaptation from british or french cuisine, or an already existing greek dish that tasted good with beef too. There are none traditional greek dishes with beef in them. For most of the greek history, Greeks refrained from eating working animals, that is, cows and oxes, horses, donkeys, dogs and cats. It was considered a sinful act and a pity to eat an animal that worked for you. Especially horses, ancient Greeks were horse - crazed enough to be burying their horses, so to feed a modern Greek a horse is as difficult as feeding them crocodile.

Eastern Scythian were mixed with early Hunic tribe in central Asia. They were the top Hellenophile people of the entire Silk road. The Euro-Asian tribe called "Pahlava" migrated to south of Iran( Geography of Afghanistan) and south east of Persia( today: Iran) about 130 B.C. After that the region called Sistan ( land of Seiths ) or Sakestan( land of Saka). They are the creater of the great epic book of Shahnameh. Their language that called "Pahlavi" became the common language of the entire Silk road trade markets. Entire cities of the Silk road from Xinxiang China throgh all mager cities of Fergana valley, central Asia, Persia, Armenia all the way to Antakia and Damascus were familiar with the language. All merchats, poets, astronomers, mathematicians, writers, musicians, Wenders and Carvan travellers knew the language. It was like the English of the time. At 224 A.D. Sasanid came to power in Persia. They adopted "Pahlavi" as the official lanuge of the Sassanid government and put aside their own languge (the old Persian) and it was a wise political decision. After that the languge called " Darbari" and abbreviated to " Dari" ( Darbar means: King's court) . Also called " Sassanid Pahlavi" Sassanid governing body used the languge for 430 years. Early Muslems that conquered Persia, called Sassanid kingS as " molook al Fars" they though the language is persian and gradually it was named "Farsi - Persian". In fact, there is no Persian language exist today. The language that is called "Persian" is a western accent of the Scythian language "Pahlavi" of old Afghanistan. Scythian Pahlava could spread Eastern Hellenism through Persia, central Asia and Mesopotamia for more than a mellinnium.

It is said they were actually Hebrews. Also it makes sense because they primarily had brown hair not Blonde like up in Scandinavia !

Excellent vedeo “Saka” or “Sacae” comes from *Isaac the son of Abraham scattered by Assyrian exile,* but only high status families survived at the hands of those invaders. The invading Assyrians failed to take Jerusalem (Jews) and a Steele (large stone with writing) boasted this whole invasion. Simultaneously biblical records, record the same disaster of the same event. Jews are not these tribes, but they are all Hebrews. Scots are from them too.

Till this day we eat the same food

Thanks for this explanation, but it seems that making statements about the invasion such as " no all Dorians went to the Peloponnese" is misleading, since there is no evidence that it happened at all. It seems that so far all we can do is note the general disposition of Greek tribes in later years, and that they apparently moved around in this period, plus there are unproven histories (or myths) about their movements.

Good video, but your next videos covers up the last 3 quotes

It seems that the Scythians and Medians merged and became Aryan Persians.

I feel like the place must have reeked of olive oil.

Procas, king of the Albanians, had two sons, Amulius and Numitor, to whom he left the throne with the intention of taking it on an annual basis [so that they would have ruled alternately]. But Amulius did not cede power to his brother, but even tried to deprive him of his offspring by making his daughter Rhea Silvia high priestess of Vesta, thereby destining her to eternal celibacy. Meanwhile, Rhea Silvia became Mars' mother and gave birth to Romulus and Remus. The two brothers founded Rome. Were the Etrusken maybe the Pelasgians/ Illyrians - ancestors of Albanians?

The Greeks better learn how to use the mountains like the Afgans, Turkey is a hungry wolf.

Etruscan words that cannot be interpreted in other languages find their roots in Serbian language.

probably better than the fast food goyslop we eat today

I thought it was Heinrich Schliemann not Eric

Ученые из Института цитологии генетики СО РАН и Самарского государственного социально-педагогического университета вместе с коллегами из Германии, США и Франции провели крупнейшее генетическое исследование носителей скифской культуры со всей Евразии, чтобы понять демографические основы истории скифов. Оказалось, что скифы с разных концов евразийской степи друг другу ближе, чем другим народам, а их потомки принадлежат к носителям тюркских языков. Результаты исследования представлены в журнале Nature Communications, артикульный номер: 14615 (2017 г.).

I live in southern California where fennel is an invasive species that grows everywhere! I can't imagine eating that crap. I can't stand the smell of it. If you go hiking through the bush you end up tromping through fennel a lot. Artichoke is also invasive around here, and I enjoy eating artichoke. Although you can't really eat the wild ones, or get rid of the crap since it sends down a six to eight foot tap root! I try to help support native plants.

Which soundtrack is that at the beginning of your video by which artist? Min 0:00- 4:47

good work.

From new McColl et al 2024) during Xiongnu empire era, the Scythian 'Uyuk culture' ceased to exist in Tuva and high East Asian shifted Xiongnu-related population moved to Tuva to form Shurmak (Kokel) culture
