I haven't seen any more propagandistic video in years. You should go to get awarded in Scopia for the gold propaganda award. Keep it up your channel will be famous and you will be known and remember for what you really are!
Your videos are really good btw but the Spartan shield quote you reference has no basis in fact (like so much of what we thought we knew about the Spartans)
Barbarians were called by the Greeks those who spoke like you could hear a bar bar...language. Unfortunately enough for your clip Macedonians spoke Greek and worshipped 12 Gods of Olympus. That alone makes Macedonians Greeks by definition. Now all the northern areas like Illyrians were enslaved and concerned lands submitted to the Macedonia.
Christianity is not a sect of Judaism. Christians have nothing to do with the semitic jews. We are all over the world, all races, all languages and do not believe in moses or abraham whom the jews worship.

My view is toward the newer date for his lifetime. Agreeing with Scholars like Moses Gaster and James Darmesteter, James Orr says: Zoroaster's prince Vishtaspa (in Greek Hustaspes) bears the same name as the father of Darius I, and was probably the same person. Vishtaspa's queen Hutaosa, who also protected and favored Zoroaster, bears the same name (in Greek Atossa) as Cambyses' sister who afterward married Darius, and probably belonged to the same family. Zoroastrianism comes to the fore under Darius, whereas Cyrus in his inscriptions speaks as a decided polytheist. Hence, we conclude that the earliest part of the Avesta belongs to circa 550 BC. ... Herodotus makes no mention of Zoroaster, but speaks of the Magi (whom he calls a Median tribe (i.101)) as already performing priestly functions. His description of their repetition of charms and theological compositions (i.132) would agree very well with recitation of the Gathas and Yasna. Mention of controversies with Gautama, Buddha's disciples (Yasht XIII, 16) who probably reached Persia in the 2nd century BC, is another indication of date. The fact that in both the Yasna and the Vendidad heretics (zanda) are mentioned who preferred the commentary (zand) on the Avesta to the Avesta itself, is a sign of late date.
We studied the 30 tyrants and the Peloponesian war in high school, and althought i wasnt much of a great student the story of Theramenes always facinated me and made me sad. Listening and reading his speach has marked me still today. This is the reason i came back to this story searching of a video like this. One of the sadest periods and stories in the Ancient Greek Hisory.
This was a great video!! and although this video is quite old, I wanted to add some of my thoughts, just in case you guys or someone might read them and find value in them I want to start by saying that the Chetres river, to me seems to be the now extinct Tamanrasset River. The bay with the 3 islands bigger than Kerne could definitely be the Bay of Arguin, based on his description. I think the mountains he speaks of are not the Bambouk Mountains in Mali but the hills that separate the area of this bay from the basin where the modern-day capital of Mauritania, Nouakchott is. Overhung definitely means close by, if not touching the bay to me and not 7 days by foot (google maps estimate) inland. The second broad river with the Crocodiles and hippos is definitely the Sengal River though, but I think in this video you've kind of welded them together into the same one. I think this is possible considering the north of Africa, and the Sahara was wetter and lusher according to Herodotus as well- I could see the area were talking about here being a continuation of the Sahel, since we know and have seem in our modern time continued desertification pushing it south. I think this also lines up with the next location and the description of the mountains with the colorful trees that they stay at after coming back from Kerne being the Dakar area. which I agree with. since it is quite hilly and the Thies Forest is in the area, which contains Baobabs. I could imagine the forests growing to Dakar back in these times for sure. But from there, I disagree pretty wildly. I think after sailing around these mountains for 2 days, and seeing the open ocean could translate into the team stopping north of Dakar and sailing around Cape Verde and the plain being the relatively flat area between there and either the Gambia or Geba Bay. Although how the "horn of the west" doesn't mean Cape Verde is lost to me, and perhaps it is and the greener Sahara is much much different than today. I think it would be interesting to see if maybe, the great bay "Horn of the West" was actually the Geba bay, and the island with the lagoon was actually the Bissagos archipelago, where Hanno disembarked and got afraid and left. "Chariot of the Gods" was not Mt. Cameroon but the Loos Archipelago next to Conakry. Making the "Horn of the South" the Lion Mountains next to Freetown- which does have Chimpanzees living there in the Tacugama Sanctuary. Which I think, they already lived there. I think that ending spot for the journey would match up pretty well with my belief that bro did not go that far.
Im not even going to watch this becauae i dont have time but id like everyone who views this to consider the possibility that it was actually the democracy that killed Athens and that any strength and vitality it had came from the times when it was a monarchy and aristocracy.

The idiot criminal who created this fake video is barbarian himself not the Macedonians, MACEDONIANS WERE HELLENES, THEY PARTICIPATED TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES, AT ANCIENT TIMES ONLY HELLENES WERE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES, BARBARIANS WERE PROHBITED, MACEDONIAN PHILOSOPHERS LIKE ARISTOTELIS WROTE AND SPOKE IN GREEK, MACEDONIAN KINGS WERE ALL GREEKS IN GREEK NAMES, ALL MACEDONIAN CITIES ARE IN GREEK NAMES, MACEDONIANS HAVE GREEK THEATER, GREEK MUSIC, GREEK PHILOSOPHY AND WORSHIPPED THE SAME GREEK GODS IN SAME HELLENIC TEMPLES, HOW ON EARTH YOU DEFINE A NATION IF NOT FROM THE LANGUAGE, THE CULTURE, THE RITUALS, THE RELIGION, THE ETHICS, THE TRADITION, IN THIS CASE MACEDONIANS HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE HELLENIC AS THE REST OF HELLENES, WHAT ARE YOU SOURCES TO LIE SO GROSSLY. OUR ANCIENT SOURCES ALL SAY MACEDONIANS ARE HELLENES, AND MACEDONIA IS HELLAS AS MACEDONIAN GEOGRAPHER STRABO FOR INSTANCE WROTE.
Polises... The Curse for Aheeians ( Danaos & hellenic) or better know by the romans given name of Greece & Greeks...never ending feuds among them... Still a gift from Gods...
Sokrates defended Young Alcibiade after this One was accused of mocking the Gods... And the punishment was not death but ostrakon... Anyway Alcibiade betryed Athena for Persians... He ended dead by them ...
I think the species of ape they run to was Bonobo. They are a relative of the chimpanzee. The reason I think bonobo is because they are more likely to run compare to the other apes of Africa.

Macedonian participation in the Olympic Agons. 1. the king Alexander I (Αλέξανδρος Α’) participated in the 80th Olympic Games (460 BC) being second to Torymbas of Thessaly; 2. the king Archelaus I (Αρχέλαος Α’) participated in the 93d Olympic Games (408 BC) winning the 4 horses charriot race. He also participated in the Pythic Games in Delphi; 3. the king Philip II (Φίλιππος Β’) participated three times: in the 106th Olympic Games (356 BC), in the 107th Olympic Games (352 BC) and in the 108th Olympic Games (348 BC); 4. Cliton (Κλείτων) participated in the 113d Olympic Games (328 BC); 5. Damasias of Amphipolis (Δαμασίας ο Αμφιπολίτης) participated in the 115th Olympic Games (320BC); 6. Lampus of Philippi (Λάμπος ο Φιλιππήσιος) participated in the 119th Olympic Games (320 BC); 7. Antigonus (Αντίγονος) participated twice: in the 122d (292 BC) and the 123d Olympic Games (288 BC); 8. Seleucus (Σέλευκος) participated in the 128th Olympic Games (268 BC); 9. the woman Bilistiche (Βιλιστίχη) participated twice: in the 128th (268 BC) and in the 129th Olympic Games (264 BC). By the way, just because Athens, for its own political reasons, and more precisely Demosthenes would propagandize against Philip II saying he was a Barbarian, the Athenian Isocrates would look upon Philip II as the Savior that would unite all the Greeks against the Persians. “In 346 B.C. Isocrates addressed Philip as one capable of taking the lead, first in combining the Greek States into a union, and secondly, in leading them to conquer the barbarian.2 (www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0075%3Achapter%3D6%3Asection%3D4#note2) The ten years of desultory hostilities between Philip and Athens had now been ended by the peace of Philocrates, and Isocrates, thinking that Amphipolis, for which they had been fighting, was an undesirable possession for either party, imagined and hoped that the peace might be made permanent.” J.F. Dobson, The Greek Orators (www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0075%3Achapter%3D6%3Asection%3D4) www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0075%3Achapter%3D6%3Asection%3D4#note2 (www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0075%3Achapter%3D6%3Asection%3D4)
there are many misunderstandings, dubious and taboo topics; the fact is that the indigenous peoples of the Macedonia region were non-Hellenic peoples, and who later received Hellenism. Even Phrygian's, the oldest people of the Mediterranean, who had a 19font letter in 9BC, after migrating to Asia, modified it towards Hellenic. Legend is that Perdica 1 came to Macedonia to look for King Midas garden. He worked at the palace at the local king's, proved himself by kneading bread, but the king did not pay him, told him to take the sun's ray, and Perdika then created the sun symbol. Unesco's website also says that there have been 11th-century tumulus in Aigai, and the oldest known tumulus of the Argeides is on Euridica 1. So it was not about the Barbarians, but local Non-Hellenic peoples who had civilizations from before, and Phrygians, Paeonians and Tracians were allies of Troy. And there is a theory that (Barb)Arian existed much earlier, 6500BC, in upper Macedonia. However, in the geographical Region of Macedonia there was civilization before the Minoan and Mycenaean, the Dispilio tablet ,by Castoria , is 6,000 years old , and the wooden column houses at Lake Ohrid discovered in 2023 are 8,000 years old.
I think we are wrong on the term “barbarian” used in antiquity. It describes more a behaviour not an identity. So even a greek behaving against what was considered ethic at the time may be colled a barbarian. Because most of the people in Northern Europe at the time were Celtic very similar to each other it looked like the term barbarian ment non greeks. It meant not civilised because Romans or Greeks considered themselves civilised.
Macedonians aren’t Greek????? Macedonian is a Greek word they whorshipped Greek gods and spoke in konie Greek and participated in Olympic Games when only Greeks were allowed to do
The Argead dynasty (Greek: Ἀργεάδαι, romanized: Argeádai), also known as the Temenid dynasty (Greek: Τημενίδαι, Tēmenídai) was an ancient Macedonian royal house of Dorian Greek provenance. They were the founders and the ruling dynasty of the kingdom of Macedon from about 700 to 310 BC.
It should be noted that a Tyrants political enemies were typically other oligarchs/aristocrats who were all struggling against each other for dominance. In this vein the Tyrant typically allied with the people against the rich, known as the high-low against the middle. Of course the people who were literate enough to write this history were the aristocrats themselves. We also saw this with the Roman Kings and Caesar where they were beloved by the plebeians but hated by the aristocracy.
Alexander was never grece 😂he should be called Alexandriotititits than 😂just like kostandiotis 😂Alexander dna was Thracian and epirote nothing to do with those North African dark people called grece 😂
