The Day The Parthenon was Blown Up
This video tells the incredible saga of how the Parthenon withstood the test of time, enduring intact from ancient days all the way to 1687, when a tragic incident brought devastation, leaving behind only a ruin. Join us as we journey through the Parthenon’s remarkable history from Late Antiquity, across the Middle Ages, through the Renaissance, and into the early Modern Era.

Why is it that NO Greek Temple has a Roof anymore?
Просмотров 406 тыс.2 месяца назад
This video talks about the structural limitations of Greek temples, what their roofs were made out of, and the reasons why no Greek temple that has survived still has its original roof. Check out my video on the best preserved Greek temples in the world: ruclips.net/video/Rqh_i0TBs6E/видео.htmlsi=X8X1Bh-D4V-ZOLbP Written, Edited and Narrated by Jordan Amit jordanamit.com Follow me on Instagram:...

The BEST Preserved Roman Colony in the World
Просмотров 1,1 млн9 месяцев назад
Timgad was a Roman city built for retired veterans of the Roman army. It is located on the edge of the Sahara Desert, in modern day Algeria. It is the best preserved Roman colony in the world, with a perfectly preserved grid plan, a forum, a theater, a triumphal arch, temples, bath houses, and even a library. Many Roman colonies had a similar grid like pattern, but Timgad gives us the best idea...
The Death of a Great Roman City

Ephesus was one of the biggest cities in the Roman Empire. But unlike other large cities that continued to be inhabited, Ephesus was abandoned, and today it’s only a ruin. So what were the causes of its decline? And eventual Death? This 4th and final part in my history documentary series on Ephesus explores all the reasons for its demise, including natural disasters and attack, the slow dismant...
Early Christian History of The City of Ephesus
Просмотров 16 тыс.Год назад
Ephesus was an important city in early Christianity. It had originally been an important Greek city, and eventually got absorbed into the Roman Empire. The Romans made it the capital of their province of Asia, which turned it into a world class metropolitan center, a large population center bustling with trade and commerce. Being such a large city meant that Christianity naturally spread quickl...

This city was controlled by the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon during the Hellenistic Period. But when the last Attalid king died without an heir, he gifted his kingdom to Rome, which included this magnificent city. This city was Ephesus. When it got absorbed into the Roman Empi...

Why don't they build a completely new temple - based upon some of the greatest to exist and establish it in its full glory like it would have been many moons ago. Would be great to visit and see it compared to the ones crippled by time.
👍👍👍👍👍. Excellent. Thank you
Well explained with useful observations. Thamugadi as Timgad was known is a fascinating site and well worth visiting.
25years? compared to the average life span I imagine not many made it the whole way
For sure. Many didn't.
No way the Athena's ststue survived if Heruli set fire fire to the building. Most people fled or were murdered. Probably som small roof was built to protect the statue. No resources available until Iulian the Great, Iulian, not Constantine funded that partial reconstruction.
It may have been the Athena Promacus statue outside actually that was taken to Constantinople.

7:42 that wall on the right seems a bit too descriptive 😂
No kids allows in the bakery
You could correlate not only "pagans" from the boondocks but also "peons"!
Loved this!! Thanks for a beautifully satisfying video
Thank you man
Great video brother, thanks.
Dang! It looks better than Detroit does after only fifty years of population decline 🤔
Maybe some youtuber 2000 years from now will make a video about Detroit 😅
9:32 what you mean "elymians always mimicked greek"?
I didn't say always, just that they mimicked the Greeks by building a Greek style temple and a Greek style theater.
@Street-Gems are elymians considered Greek?
@@faydulaksono No they were an indigenous tribe of Sicily, but they were influenced by the Greeks and interacted with them a lot.
Thank you for info
@@faydulaksono No problem
Enjoyable video! Thanks!
Reminds me of China
Throughout human history, building has always been an expensive undertaking, and if a building was damaged by fire, or war, or some other catastrophe… it was rebuilt and used again. I have had the opportunity to stand on the Acropolis, see the pathetic remains, the microscopic and slow restoration or conservation of what remains of the building, and hear people still lamenting the catastrophe four centuries later. It is only in the present day with archaeologists and their theory of respecting and preserving ruins that we find ‘corpses’ of Parthenons, Colosseums, temples and palaces all over the world. When the original roof was lost after 700 years due to a fire, what did the Greeks do? Begin to mourn the loss of such a magnificent temple and start ‘conserving’ the ruins? No, they rebuilt it and continued to use it for many more centuries! I am of the opinion that, just like our ancestors did, we should rebuild all those beautiful buildings (Parthenon, Coliseum, etc, etc) and put them back into use. For those who want to see and admire the grandeur of the Parthenon, just go to Bavaria, near Donaustauf and visit Valhalla, which is a perfect replica of the Greek temple… but intact.
I agree on building modern models like the one in Bavaria or Nashville, but not the ancient ruin itself, which is basically un-restorable at this point, and should be left to admire for what it is.
Because in ancient times, the Greeks new how to make roofs out of thin air.
Deveria ser reconstruido e os tesoureos devolvidos .
In Turkey it may be, but Turkish, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!
The biggest question is why in the hell haven't they repaired and restored these? Modernize old Greece into new Greece. It can be totally restored and modernized.
Timgad was the Florida for ancient romans. Looks like it was a great place to live back then
Great, you caught my subtle reference.
🤯 whaou !!! As a French from south we have Pont du Gard Arène de Nîmes Arène d'Arles and many aqueduc from Roman empire. I nevet heard about this amazing full Roman city in Algéria !! Amazing Thank's for share 🙏
One of my next videos will feature shots of the arenas in Nimes and Arles, so keep an eye for it. Glad I revealed to you a new location.

you mean Palestines?
Sad that Athens has become a sht hole
Yes of course. Do you know how difficult is to find a decent carpenter these days? Last spring I was waiting for my carpenter to fix my windows, and instead the guy was hanging around Jerusalem upon a donkey!
I have my own theory. The people using the facilities did want God (I guess in their theology Gods) to be able to look down on them from the heavens (might have been holes in the floor too I suppose). This is why the old Dallas Cowboys stadium had a hole in the roof too.
Pretty crazy signing up to the Roman army only had 1 option of service: 25 years. It's a wonder anyone signed up at all. Most people didn't even make it to 25 years old back then.
Yeah I've often wondered that myself. 25 years is such a long time. Your chances of coming out of it with a body not in ruins was probably 5%

Its called the USA . USA is Roman
Algeria is a very beautiful and impressive country! I remember also this place, which I was able to visit 45 years ago ♥ Thank you for reminding me with that video
Whao, what was it like visiting Algeria in the late 70's?
I love the fact your cities are represented on maps One can retain easier time evolution of discovered splendors of human activity. Signed on. You have the best information.
Thank you 🥰
I don't see so many economic reasons for the existence of such a city. Apparently the Romans did a HUGE babyboom and just didn't know where to place those people
Well cities don't necessarily need an economic reason to exist. Think of many modern towns that don't have any special economic specialization or anything. Sometimes they just exist.
The Indian Temple is strong and beautiful building in the world
Just germanoids revolting against culture and destroying it, all because they don’t want to pay taxes so Rome will build them mega cities.
Excellent works and wonderful presentation... Thanks... I'm renewed of the history
there was no writing in greece during the dark age...and the Linear B or th Kingdom of Arzawa in that time
Cause Alaric burns the hellinic temple s for 2 years ???? 😂
Usa, Uk and others should learne from the Romans how to treat their veterans!
Love the video. A few years back I was studying arts and in this history of restauration class, which I loved, we learned that someone had taken a bunch of the tiles of the roof off the partenon and tried taking them back to venice but dropped them off by accident on a cliff, can't find any references for it, anyone knows if this is the right fact or I'm getting confused? also, adding to the video, I remember a case which I think was something like 300bc, a greek king was attacking some other's king city and when he learned that certain art thing was in the city he desisted from the siege just to keep it, also, can't remember the name of it but reminded me when he said the venetian guy blew it up knowing what it was regardless
I think you are referring to the story I mentioned. It was Morosini who removed some statues from the pediment of the Parthenon (after he blew it up), and they dropped the statues to the ground. I don't know the 2nd anecdote of the Greek king.
@@Street-Gems will have to dig up the old scrolls i had back in college and re-read it because now i can't stop thinking about the second one!
@@BadCow94 Let me know if you find it. I'm curious.
Strangely reminiscent of destroyed Tartarian cities and places like this, 35.1367262, -118.0152651 Laid out already or the last remnants of a wiped out civilisation?
This was really cool. Great video!
🤩🤩🏆👍🏻
the new generation you can operate social media but world 🌍 no chance 😁😂
Beautiful video.
The us should build a city for its veterans.
For the record, relics were "stolen" and sent to Catholic Italy to save them from the threat of destruction via malice or neglect. Faced with "other regional monotheistic religions", as well as Christian sects with iconoclastic tendencies, it was better safe than sorry. History has certainly proved the "thieves" wise.
Yeah you might be right
Dacian here . I must comment that the map of the Roman Empire at minute 1:07 must also include Dacia and that area to be coloured purple-ish because it was conquered after Trajan's wars in 105-106 BC and 101-103 BC . And St Andrew Travelled to Dacia via Tomis port area to my knowledge .
Yeah I used a generic map, but in that spot I speak about the birth of Christianity, which happened before the Dacian wars.
Stunning , As a Dacian since I was born in Romania I feel proud that my ancestors were part of the roman empire at some point . To know that they could be a walk or even a horse ride away from a library or from a roman bath or live in rooms with painted walls and mosaics on the floors it is music to my spirit . Now living in Canada I feel like a slave that we have to work a lifetime to be able to retire at 65 . We learned nothing in 2000 years .
I really enjoyed this video of the pacing the reconstruction the present day pictures just everything really works well!
Thank you man
