Let’s put the size of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus into context. Think of the impressive Parthenon in Athens. The Parthenon is approximately 70 x 30 meters. At 115 x 55 meters, the Temple of Artemis was about 50% longer and wider. It’s Ionic column were also 25% taller than those in the Parthenon. The Temple at Ephesus would have been massive in the ancient Greek world!

And the funny thing is that some British tourists visit Greece and say look at how ugly the ruins are. Hmmm maybe it would look better if we had our marbles back, but I’m just saying. Now one reason why we don’t rebuild the Parthenon is because if we do it, it would lose it’s value, plus it’s a great example to show to the world how humans act like wild animals.

Today our lives are so much easier than our ancestors that I fear we are falling victims to shear boredom , creating apathy , hopelessness , entitled attitudes , fear and in extreme cases envy and hatred . These things create chaos and will plunge the world we have into another dark age IF we allow it to . Why should we live in such a manner when there is such a better way ? Come , let us BUILD ! P.S. I cannot thank the creators of the content of this video enough ! Without people such as you inspiration wouldn't exist . Thank you !

Man I am really loving the way you explain history in it’s raw form with diagrams of wars and there formations down to the wonders on the world the style of narration you choose is perfect for these style videos sometimes I’m watching a ten minute video and the way you explain it seems like I’ve been watching for hours very captivating!! I hope as we get update and new discovery you will cover them again

I cant even begine to imagine what The Great Pyramid of Giza has looked like in its pristine shimmering white coat bathed in the desert sun. No wonder people worshipped it and its buillders in the ancient world, as even i probably would have to take a knee if i were to see it as it was originally imagined and completed.

@chalinofalcone871 3 года назад

Careful, cuz of Kaepernick taking a knee, taking a knee is no longer a sign of reverence & inspiration, but of protest & hatred. (I am totally just trolling). If it were restored in my life time I would take a knee in its direction just to tell my kids I did.

Medes/Medians were Iranian. Media is Iran/Persia. Ecbatana, the capital of the Medes is in Iran/Persia and it is a Persian city. The Medes were related to the Persians. Amytis is a Persian name. And the name of some Persian princesses in the Persian Empire was Amytis as well. I am Lur-Lak Iranian, the traditional clothing of Lur Iranians is similar to the Medes/Median clothing. And the Luri language is a dialect of old Persian.

@matthewneuendorf5763 3 года назад

@@carios9889 The Roman empire ended on May 29, 1453. The Theodosian Walls were built under Theodosius II. The Hagia Sophia was built under Justinian I. The Hippodrome was built under Constantine I. By the time when all these things were built, the Greek city-states were a distant memory, and even Alexander and his successors had long since fallen away into the dust bin of history. The Mausoleum of Theodoric was Ostrogothic, but since the Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy was essentially a Roman successor state with a barbarian aristocracy that only lasted a few generations before being reincorporated into the empire, I give it a pass. Greek wasn't even the official language of the empire until Heraclius, by which point every one of these building projects was already completed. They were in no way Greek, and in every way Roman (excepting the aforementioned Ostrogothic mausoleum).

I've always loved the description of the Great Pyramid by Matthew Reilly in his book Seven Ancient Wonders: (paraphrasing to keep it short) It is perhaps the only structure on Earth known by name to every single member of the human race. It has outlasted pharaohs and kings, tribal wars and worlds wars, earthquakes and sandstorms. It defies time, it defies imagination. It is the only man-made structure in history to defy the ravages of Nature and Time, and indeed the only on of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World known to have survived to the present day. It is a building without equal in all the world.
