For the record, Schliemann did more to demolish what was left of Troy than discover it. His heavy-handed use of TNT during excavations and inarticulate handling of artifacts at the site was a true Greek tragedy.

@joshuatoms7664 Месяц назад

It's true. And he was also a fraud. But without him, people might not ever have bothered to go looking, thinking it was all just stories.

The old civilizations used story to verbally record stories of events. They think they found where the Beowulf legend took place. It was a story of a young hero king slaying a monster, but the monster was a butchering king, mangling his subjects. They found a mass grave where the halls would be, bones mangle and damage by axes, and torcher devices.

While there is war on education right now (learning a trade isn’t bad at all and I did it before going to engineering to learn more), it is always the wealthy and people with connection being able to spend time on discoveries or writing ground breaking novels for the time. Now is the disclaimer. As frivolous some might think about wasting time and/or resources to find stuff, archeological or otherwise), this is important for all of us to understand and know where all is coming from.

Mary Renault's "The King Must Die" about Theseus and the bull dancing was the first of her books I read and the best--it's fantastic for anyone interested in the Cretes and the Minator's labyrinth, written to be spellbinding.

@Ancient_War Месяц назад

Incorrect. The Minotaur (real name Asterius) was the son of Pasiphaë, Minos’s wife, not Minos’s. Pasiphaë developed an unnatural lust for a pure white bull that was to be a sacrifice to Poseidon. After having sex with the sacred bull, as punishment she gave birth to an infant that was half-man, half-bull. The rest of the story you know.

@1972hermanoben Месяц назад

Half-man, half-bull? Physically impossible, sorry. Full marks for scholarship though - yours is far better than that which informs this documentary - they lost me on that score about a minute in, by describing Theseus as “the ultimate hero”.

The invention of the telephone is much disputed: Bell filed the first proper patent, but others had previously filed caveat patents (notably Meucci). Bell was born and educated in Britain but I wouldn’t say it was a British invention though! Swan started work on lightbulbs 28 years before Edison, and demonstrated his bulb a year before Edison’s. The Swan and Edison companies later merged, but the lightbulb is definitely a British invention.

@melanierhianna 2 месяца назад

Bell was still a British citizen so it’s a bit of a stretch but a possible interpretation. Swan definitely invented the light build before Edison. In fact Edison quite often claimed inventions that he didn’t invent.

The bull is used in many depictions, stbols and purposes. What bothers me a lot with historical digs and execavation parties is that people set out to find something specific, and then they twist their findings to suit what they want it to be, rather than to discover what it _really_ means. I'll give it, Evans found something of true worth and value, but to claim it's the orogin of the labryinth and minataur because he found a throne and a sculpture of a bull is as much a stretch as saying Unicorns were hunted to exinction by proof of the unicorn tapestries.

Minoan Palace's (layout/design were the labyrinth). The Minoans were the link between the middle East (first great civilizations, Babylon, Egypt, etc) and Europe. The Mycenaens were completely enriched by the Minoans and copied their everymove. Most of the Greek dark ages was filled with tales dating back to the Minoan/ Mycenaen era (Menataur, Medusa ( snake goddess of Crete) and the story of Atlantis is most certainly decended tales (tall for sure 😂) of theThera eruption.

100% without a doubt the labyrinth did exist. Yet it did not exist in Greece. The Minoans weren’t the original inhabitants of Crete they only settled there. So some stories of ancient times were either rewritten to hide the truth or details left out due to word of mouth.

@shauntempley9757 Месяц назад

The Minoans are first. The people that corrupted the information is the Myceneans. They took over Crete, and the histories and thus myths changed, after the eruption that wiped out the Minoans civilisation. Crete is huge in mythology, because it is the island that Zeus was said to be born on, and also where he is said to have died.

I LOVE Greek mythology to the point of obsession. I love it so much that based on that alone Assassin's Creed Odyssey is my all time favorite game. For those of you who didn't know the word labyrinth probably originated from the word labrys. Which was what they called the two headed axe that was famous in Crete during that time. Theseus obviously never really existed and Athens never defeated Crete in war and ended their reign. Instead natural disasters and likely internal conflict was what started the down fall of their Civilization. But it makes for a much more compelling story.

This is the most believable story of life . The only fake thing about this minotaur story is the people that dont believe it's real . Probably why greeks failed at life . When they did minos dirty is when they no longer had a place in this earth . Doomed. Spoilwr alwrt . Minotaur is not, was not real

I'll accept the butchering of Theseus' name but Mynos and My-nataur? Why are you adding the long I into a language that does not and never has had that sound. I see people do it with Dionysus too. I sounds like E. And Y sounds like the short I (like in it or Istanbul). So its min (like mean) Meenos/Meenotaur. And Dioniysus is not Die-oh-nicesus its Dee-o(short o like in Orange)nisus Hope this helps with future videos. Should give you more credibility when talking about them.

What if the Minotaur was friendly that’s why he didn’t attack First or maybe it was mentally challenged and had the mind of a 3 year old?

All Hellenic Mythology is based on fact, full stop You have to understand the language,which obviously many experts don’t

@1972hermanoben Месяц назад

I’m no expert - I studied Greek at school but I’m pretty well-versed in my native language. Unless you’re well-equipped to force the issue, either through weight of evidence or the threat of violence, attempting to obviate debate by using the words ‘full stop’ doesn’t really work when arguing anything in English 😂

@dp6003 Месяц назад

@@1972hermanoben What’s your native language? Full stop means what it means ,no argument to the facts Which can only be used to the premise of the statement ,full stop What’s with the dumb emoji, Seems to come up a lot by people unsure of their argument I’m not arguing English,I’m arguing Hellenic Mythology.

This guy was horrible for history. His dream was delusional than anything. He was in such a ruch to prove to his daddy that he was "something" that he destroyed so much. If it werent for his daddy's money, then he would've just been another son of an actual hard working and successful man.
