I certainly wouldn't mind you being my teacher. Your voice is soooo soft & dreamy. You are very handsome & appear to be very intelligent. Your wife is one lucky woman 💖
Worked at The Palace of Nestor at Ancient Pylos for four summers in the nineties and passed through the Argolid a few times but didn't have time to visit any local sites. Thanks for the awesome tour! It put me in that Peloponnesian frame of mind as soon as I heard the cicadas
Cheers, George! Glad you enjoyed this video, and the cicadas! ;) Nestor's Palace is on our list of places to film. There's just so much to see in the Peloponnese! Thank you for watching.
@@PharaohMan007 I think I might not be the right person to do that, but if you are interested in ancient Greek pronunciation you can find plenty of videos about it on RU-vid.
The Gog and may God is in relations field the find next door use to be mum and dad's. Yes the trees are very spiritual .use to climb the trees as a void you can feel the energy .lots if people visit them and put offerings. Unfortunately someone left a burning candle that burnt down one of the trees . Was a bit stupid ,old dry tree what can you say sarah coles old family Glastonbury resident
Thank you for your comments, Sarah. What a wonderful place to grow up. We lived just outside Glastonbury for a few years and miss it dearly. Visiting Gog and Magog was one of our usual, weekly walks. And yes, they have a wonderful energy about them. Hopefully they'll be there for lifetimes to come. Thank you for watching :)
Just ponder, the wonder, of OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS ; We each, came from ' parents '. Somewhere, at some Point In Time, they were there, and all over the Middle East, starting in the Garden of Eden, where 4 rivers met ; somewhere. My ancestors, were probably of Scythian origins. > > > >> Grandpa and Grandma came from this area, near the Volga River, 112 years ago.(reddish hair - blue eyes ) (The Central-Asian steppe has been the home of nomad tribes for centuries. Being nomads, they roamed across the plains, incidentally attacking the urbanized countries to the south, east and west. The first to describe the life style of these tribes was a Greek researcher,, who lived in the fifth century BCE. Although he concentrates on the tribes living in modern Ukraine, which he calls "Scythians" (Σκύθαι), we may extrapolate his description to people in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and possibly Mongolia, even though Herodotus usually calls these eastern nomads "Sacae". In fact, just as the Scythians and the Sacae shared the same life style, they had the same name: in their own language, which belonged to the Indo-Iranian family, they called themselves Skudat , which probably means "archers". The Persians rendered this name as Sakâ and the Greeks as Skythes or Skythai. The Chinese called them, at a later stage in history, Sai. Tribes are, almost by definition, very loose organizations. Every now and then, new tribal coalitions came into being, and sometimes, new languages became prominent among the nomads from the Central-Asian steppe. A name study...../ Thank - you, Mr. Haviaras, for the video ; and that ' special music '. Xcellent choice, for my / our minds, to ' ponder , while you wander around '' there. Take care, from eastern central Alberta Canada.
Such an idyllic setting. Had to turn back only a few hundred meters away from the site with quad problems. A very underrated old civilization. Loved the vibe.
Good video, I used to visit South Cadbury Castle most years and walk the ramparts, also visit Glastonbury Tor afterwards, a good days riding on my motorbikes. You didn't mention about the possibly unfinished church they found back in the 1960's. I've always thought that there real Arthur would have been a psychopathic warlord who put fear into the saxons. But as at that time the Celtic/Welsh language was only spoken and not written down, only the bards would have told his tales in the halls and campfires and now unfortunately those original stories have been lost, like most of the Norse Sagas. Geoffrey of Monmouth being Welsh would have most likely heard some of those tales and added Arthur to his book of the history of Britain.
i’ve never understood the one sided beef europe has with america. they always shit on us for 0 reason and are hella hypocritical. also if they wanna talk pronunciation then they better switch how they say “Nike” Nike (which is an American brand btw) was based off a greek god (Nike pronounced ny’-kee), so it is pronounced ny’-kee, NOT n-ike or however they pronounce it ☠️

Thank you! I was there in April and it was empty, just me and my wife. It's incredibly wonderful and I felt strangely at home. That is, until the keeper closed us in.😅. It's a place that talks silently with you, just like the video.
You're very welcome, Ricardo. We're so glad that you enjoyed the video and that you were able to visit the site in person. April is a wonderful time to visit archaeological sites in Greece! And you're right about Tiryns...it does indeed speak to you. Thank you for your comment :)
Yeah really great that haunting empty abandoned scene with that sound track fitting perfectly, well done, must have been a busy place for a time long ago
Thank you, Richard. So glad you enjoyed the video. The heat (about 45 degrees Celsius) was actually a blessing as we were able to roam the site undisturbed by anyone else. It would definitely have been much busier in the Heroic Age! Thank you for your comment.
Thanks a lot FROM BUCHAREST ROMANIA 🍀... Those frescos are very much similar to the Minoans ones in Cnossos Crete../ ! Strong links between Minoans & Myceenians ... Although not identical populations... RIGHT!?
We're happy that you enjoyed the video! Yes, the frescoes are indeed similar to those found at Knossos and there was definitely interaction between the two cultures, though, not always on friendly terms ;) Thank you for your comment!
Myths of the Ancient Greece were my favourite reading from my early ears, so it was my dream since my childhood to visit Mycenae, and in 2012 I fulfilled it. Absolutely amazing place! Must see before you die.
Amazing walk through! It is amazing to think that this citadel existed and so many question on how all these gigantic stones have been transferred! It is said that Hercules place was there and once was in its prime at 1400 BC Mycines years until the decline came... Thank you for sharing - Subscribed
So the Greeks of the classical age never linked these structures to the Myceneans, that they have heard so much about (Homer's epic was thought even in their schools) and decided to call them " one eyed giant" made, lacking a more plausible explanation. Sweet. .
