The Second Greatest Oracle in the Ancient Mediterranean World 

this was a very lovely episode, you guys are so cute together. and you give a very intimate feeling for the locations that you are in. It would be fun to see you drag Graham along with you. More debunking for me, or clarifying, however it is that you see it 👍🏽

Video request: explain how so many words from the past sound like modern words that have derogatory meanings. Especially religious or power based words. Example fasces/feces, shiites, Assyrians, fakir, stupa, sikh, flagellate/flatulent, and names/places such as Baby lon, Hungary, Turkey...Carian/carrion, Crete/creton.... It's just "Galerius" how many of these are out there hiding in plain sight. I'm guessing omissions in modern times was intended to conceal certain derogatory origins.

yeah, that was funny, first I did not want to believe in my ears

what means? google translate does'n know this word.

cute but, i don't believe that😊

​@@user-we5dt9wi3o, Assos was an ancient Greek city near today's Behramkale or Behram for short, which most people still call by its ancient name of Assos.

​@@user-we5dt9wi3o, it was a purposeful ham-handed pun 😼

It's like watching Rick Steves, but much cooler and dealing with much older stuff

I prefer the association with owls. 😉

Kind of destroys the argument that the ancient Greeks couldn't see in blue, doesn't it? But I think Metatron did a fairly good job of doing that himself

" hesiod" but yes!

Yeap great channel

To date, no, I have not.

Yes Didyma was within Croesus' own kingdom. Delphi was not. Re: Alexander, it may or may not have happened.

What is an angular speed?

i want one with an axis of rotation parallel to the earths

Frisbee?

It depends on where in the world you are talking about, and what time period.

@@WorldofAntiquity sorry, I was thinking about eastern Mediterranean Sea, around time of battle of Kadesh ? Thank you

@@albertzee8510 Many people spoke Akkadian at that time. It was an international language of diplomacy.

So from my experience as a young conservator in an eastern EU country conservation is a problem in museums that gain a lot of revenue, too as museums tend to greatly underestimate the funds needed to preserve objects. In state sponsored museums conservators are usually paid minimum wage or a little over minimum wage if they're highly experienced, extremely qualified conservators (where I live the top notch conservators in the country are paid 900 euros/month post tax, I assume it's even less in Turkey) but it's way more expensive to hire self employed conservators. The lighting in the museums shown here seemed acceptable, especially for stone as stone is not nearly as light sensitive compared to paint or textiles, especially when it comes to ancient objects rather than post industrialization ones, but I would be a little concerned about the climate control there as humidifiers/dehumidifiers are really expensive to both buy and use. Turkey as a country is just significantly poorer than the US tho so I suspect that affects museum prices significantly

@@miglek9613 Thank you.

Turkey has negative interest rates, somehow…

Answer here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s6Lv3KpphVg.html

Indeed!

In the MUL.APIN Tables, the stars later known as Castor and Pollux were known as the Great Twins. The Twins were called Lugal-irra and Meslamta-ea, meaning respectively "The Mighty King" and "The One who has arisen from the Underworld." They were regarded as guardians of doorways, guarding the gates of the Underworld. The Silver Gate of Man is found between Gemini and Taurus, Orion is found in the center, pointing to the Sun on the day of the summer solstice with his club. Play these word in reverse "Say Oath--They All Rule--Beyond The Mist", you hear them echo "Gemini--Orion--Taurus", adding the months they fall on should help out with the meaning "Say Oath--Yam--Newest--Beyond The Mist--They All Rule" played in reverse, they echo "Orion--Gemini--June--May--Taurus" Yam is a Twin, Manu sacrificed him to make the world and mankind. He judges the souls of the dead. A symbol for Gemini was 'a Pile of Bricks', referring to the building of the first city and the fratricidal brothers, and the Sumerian name for the month May-June, when the sun was in Gemini, signified 'Bricks', the god of bricks, Kulla, Kullaba, the name of Uruk, the first city, Kullaba and Eanna, which coalesced in the Uruk period to form a town, having two temples, one for Anu, the other for Inanna. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, In Greek mythology, Hermes, Herms, piles of stones, Mercury is the messenger and herald of the gods and the guide of dead souls to Hades. Shamash the ancient Mesopotamian sun god. He was believed to see everything that happened in the world every day, and was therefore responsible for justice and protection of travelers. As a divine judge, he could be associated with the underworld. In the Sumerian tradition, he is the twin brother of Inanna. The Sumerians, Mashu was a sacred mountain. Its name means "twin" in Akkadian, and thus was it portrayed on Babylonian cylinder seals-a twin-peaked mountain, described by poets as both the seat of the gods, and the underworld. I wonder what "Sha" means of Shamash, would it be associated with any of this? ha ha ha I think so.

You obviously know nothing about Turkey. It is a secular west leaning country

@@brettmuir5679 Oh really? I was doing a work in Istanbul during ramadan. There was noone at the lunch table but me. I wouldn't call that secular.

@@OldieBugger Was lunch still being served? If there was, why do you care what the people you work with did?

​@@penguindrum264 That person isn't all there, if you catch my drift.

free gaza first

​@@darranwilkins4648go ahead free Gaza, dont waste time here and then come visit Israel. When you are in Gaza, can you please tell them not to fire missilles at Israel like they started doing as soon as Israel withdrew in late 2005, so they got blockaded, so they wont be blockaded again? Can you also tell them to stop their eternal fight against jews so they can finally have peace. Live up to your own words and go free Gaza.

Unforuntate to see Zionists in this comment section, but I agree with your point that Israel has some great ruins

@@moniumus6303 Nothing wrong with jews believing they can live in their ancestral land, definition of a Zionist. Should Italians not believe they have the right to live in their ancestral land Italy?

@@moniumus6303 even more unfortunate to see people with their roots in Europe call for a more than 3000 years old european colonialist project called Palestina, its a Latin word, latin is from Europe. Israel is a semitic word. The philistines were from Europe. The Romans called the land Palestina, they came from Europe. Arabs come from the south the arabian peninsular, it wasnt the jews who transgressed their natural and historical borders, the arabs did. Jews are called jews because the come from the kingdom of Judah with Jerusalem as its capital, the tribe of Judah. Unfortunate that the arabs transgressed their natural and historical borders and didnt respect others.

Come on now, let's not be creepy

Timestamp?

@@WorldofAntiquity Not sure of the terminology, but it is at the start of the video and before you and the lady restauraanting

@@TWOCOWS1 Oh, you mean in the opening titles? Well, you will need to be more specific.

@@WorldofAntiquity @0.44/52:37 to 0.49

Took me a minute to get the joke. Ha

I would never reveal her age!

​@@WorldofAntiquityXD

Tell that to FIFA and the Olympics.

@@WorldofAntiquity Well, you said it! And FIFA are known to be colossally corrupt. Not sure about the Olympic committee, but I wouldn't be surprised. {:o:O:}

@@WorldofAntiquity Well, you said it! FIFA are very corrupt, though. {:o:O:}

@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 Ah, so it is spelled that way because of corruption. Who knew?

@@WorldofAntiquity FIFA took bribes, yes. But my comment was on how you pronounced it correctly, _in English._ {:o:O:}

Go look at English-speaking sporting events, and see how it is listed. inside.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men www.nbcolympics.com/athletes Go see what the official English name is at the UN.

@@WorldofAntiquity Totally irrelevant how it's listed at either sporting events or the UN. The name in English is 'Turkey'.

@@Phill-MOT It's not a question of pronouncing foreign names. If you were speaking Turkish to a Turkish person then of course it would be correct to say 'Türkiye'. If you are speaking English to an English audience then it is moronic to say anything other than 'Turkey'. For the same reason, it would be idiotic if in the middle of a conversation in English with other English-speakers you were to start referring to 'Deutschland' instead of 'Germany' or 'Zhong Guo' instead of 'China'.

@@WorldofAntiquity Do Turks call the United States 'Yunayted Steic'?

@@patavinity1262 To be totally accurate, the name in English is "Republic of Türkiye."
