Genuinely beautiful architecture stopped c1940 and has descending to the bottom of the barrel with Brutalism and Modernism. Great architecture lifts the spirit.

A light and instructive dissertation on an interesting topic, thank you. Slightly surprised that Salisbury Cathedral didn't get a look in, although I suppose that the other churches illustrated the particular points you wanted to discus much better ?

It has dawned on me that the movements in architecture parallel the same movements in art. Gothic followed by Classical Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Mannerist, Neo-Classical, Romantic, etc.

I was hoping to see some greek and Roman architecture but didn't see any! Everything that was shown was Macedonian architecture! When the Romans wrote about the mind blowing amount of wealth that they took out of Macedonia, some people missed the part about the Macedonian architecture that was taken apart and transported back to Rome! Let alone all the art and precious metals and books! It doesn't require to much brain power to see that the ancient ruins in Greece had been laying around in ruins since they were destroyed! Which dates back to when the Macedonians abandoned their city of Hella due to the eruption of the Santorini island volcano around 1500bce to the new location of Pella further east! In other words what is Greece today was all Macedonia! The Greeks were called Grejci pronounced Greitsi meaning foreigners which is why King Philip II went and conquered them! They are still called that by the Macedonians of today! The Romans adopted the word from the Macedonians when they invaded Macedonia which is where the word Grecians came from! Including the identity of Greco Romans after they completed their Roman slavery contract and became citizens of Rome! Note that no other race that became a Roman citizen was given a special title! The Greeks (foreigners) were different to everyone else! They were much darker! Their Sub Saharan Ethiopian heritage stood out! Nothing that has been taught to be greek is actually greek! The history just doesn't make sense! What? They built these architecturally significant buildings and somehow forgot what they were for? So they didn't bother to rebuild them until they realised that they are generating tourism dollars? You can look at anywhere else around the world! The only ancient ruins that were not rebuilt and made into tourist attractions are the ones that are owned by a race of people who didn't build them! Didn't know what they are for! Exactly what you are looking at in Greece! The columns were used throughout the ancient Macedonian cities which were taken down and taken to Rome! It's quite possible that columns already existed throughout Italy! The similarity between the Etruscans and the Macedonians and the Carthaginians is uncanny! Extremely possible that they were all the same people! And they all were using columns in their architecture....

Amazing video! I live in Park Slope in New York City, a 19th-century neighborhood which is chock full of neo-gothic architecture, mostly english neo-gothic. This video really helped me solidify my understanding of where different elements on these buildings come from-even if not originally 15th c. it's nice to know that the window I'm looking at *references* a 15th c. style. I also went to college at Princeton university, one of the best places to see collegiate gothic architecture, which is also specifically english, and often tudor. Just wanted to let you know that your video helps us across the pond as well!

Bravo! Your video is the most comprehensive one I have ever found in discussing gothic architecture. I learned so much watching it. You’re correct in saying that the English gothic style is unique in comparison with the gothic styles found in European architecture (especially churches and cathedrals) of the same time. Having had the opportunity to visit several European countries and seen many examples of this style of architecture I agree with you that English gothic is the most interesting of all. BTW I got Covid early on in the pandemic and now have Long Covid as a result. For quite some time my body was quite useless and I experienced brain fog too. I decided that while my body was one issue that I didn’t have a lot of control over, as a lifelong learner I could keep my mind active. As a result I decided to learn everything that I could about the Middle Ages in England beginning with the Battle of Hastings onward to the early Tudors. Gothic architecture has become an area of especially great interest to me. Having visited England twice before this captured my attention and imagination. My dream is to return to visit the great cathedrals and parish churches all over the country and to study them in much more depth. Thank you again for this wonderful video!

Do tell me what is the source music you are using. It sounds very live( not midi). Can't pinpoint who the composer is. Though it sounds neo-romantic. Maybe from 1890s and upwards. The music is able to be emotional but still reserved in the background and still holding more a character of absolut music rather than incedental

a favored subject, the early farmers, Anatolian farmer migrations into Europe, the proto-Greeks, the non-Indo-European speakers such as the Terramare, later the Tyrrhenian group of speakers (Etruscan, Rhaetian and those of Lemnos) which represent a language of the EEF early farmers, all of which is of much interest to me etc. The video is wonderful to see, love the landscapes.

Really glad you enjoyed the video! I must say, I've always loved the Mycenaeans, and was delighted when I finally visited it a couple of years ago. I teach the subject now, and hope I pass on some of my own childhood fascination to my pupils! I didn't know about Lemnos being a different language group - I'll check them out.
@BenSHammonds10 ай бұрын
it seems that the Greeks of Attica expelled Pelasgian speaking peoples to Lemnos, according to a story, the Pelasgian being earlier inhabitants of the area now Greece, speaking a earlier non-Indo-European tongue.@@lockdownlearning2718

Thank you for the information.. Cheers

Thanks for your comment. Glad you found the video useful. Actually, I did label the Colosseum as the Flavian Amphitheatre, as that is, strictly speaking, what its name was at the time it was built; it ended up being known as the Colosseum only because of the colossal statue of Nero/Helios that stood nearby, a leftover of Nero's ill-judged Golden House palace.

@lockdownlearning271810 ай бұрын
As I show in the video, there are quite a lot of differences from Renaissance, even though it sprang out of this movement - mainly in the way it bends and twists the forms and conventions it takes on from Renaissance ideas. If you'd like to know more about the Renaissance, I've just made another video on this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldN-ea123rnDoZs.html
