Khan, I was just watching some of your videos the other day on Organic chemistry and embryology for my classes. Now I'm listening to you talk about ancient Greece. How much do you know man?! I respect you so much, thank you for everything you do for students around the world.
So glad to see World History videos in Khan Academy. Todays we r in Ramadan and we have to learn in detail, ask, think twice everything in our lives, much more any days in a year. This videos prevent to fiddle away and help us to get some hints from the history :)
Of course you need to know this. Everything we know today... Philosophy Maths etc... started from Hellas. The alphabet you use today and most of the words you use derive from the Hellenic language.
@@iridanos1443 the alphabet we use today originate from Egyptian hieroglyphs & Phoenicians alphabet... Philosophy, Math already exist in Mesopotamia, Egypt... Hellas just improved it better & spread it...
@@milliyetci5672 I am aware my friend but things are not as absolute as you describe them. The Alphabet was created by Greeks inspired by the Phoenician Abjad. But it is not the same system. The Phoenician writing system was an Abjad not an Alphabet. The Phoenicians did not use vowels. Yes the letters were inspired by Egyptian Hieroglyphs and then by the Phoenician letters but Not the system as we use it nowadays. And definitely not all the Greek letters derive from the Phoenician or Egyptian (ex. Omega Ω). As for the rest there are subjects that we don’t know for sure if they were actually adopted by Greeks. The fact that others had Philosophy for example that does not mean that it is the same philosophy. The ethics of one might be different from the other.
the laconic reply of "if" doesn't make sense the way you set it up - whatever the variation, it 's to reply to a threat that goes "If I..." or "If my army..." or something like that
6:18 Next time I hear about someone only having 7 to 20 slaves I know that I have met someone with a very spartan life style ;) I think an interesting question is how the Spartans could be poor/spartan (or were they?) with a slave population 7 to 20 times larger.
Greeks throughout history did not only live in Greece and Anatolia but also in Sicily and Calabria ( regions known as Magna Graecia) but also founded the city of Marseille, colonies in Spain, Egypt, Syria, even Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the greeks in all these regions got assimilated.
Finally! FINALLY! The Khan Academy covers history!

Thank you Khan Academy for producing this excellent 'Overview of ancient Greece' video. We have added it to our playlist.
We wish you all the best.
I love learning about greek mythology and history. But, I can never find something that sums it all up. Thanks for doing that here.
Hellas interesting
Nobody like this mans comment
These videos are phenomenal. I wish they were 1 hour in length and super detailed. Great work @khanacademy.
I am studying for CSET, and this video is so helpful! Thank you
Thank you for this video! It's really helping prepare me for my World History test on Greece tomorrow.
Don't really need to learn this but it's too interesting

WOW YOU ARE SO SMART

Can someone help me please? I have a question, was Homer's illiad and Odessy written in the archaic period?
Thank you Khan Academy from Brasil!!
So glad there are videos out there that don't try to be funny all the time or use profanity in every second sentence
U might have hinted at the style of Crash course.
You've been on fire recently with all this fantastic history. Keep'em coming sir.
I was looking for the timeline overview, this is insanely useful. Thank you sooooooo much!
Thank you Khan Academy - this is helpful in my online class
Simply here to learn
Hellas (Eλλάς) = Land of Light (Eλ = light + λαας = land, stone)
Hellene (Ελλήν, Έλληνας) = The enlightened
this is amazing!!
Thank you!
thank you
Amazing!

NICE SIR
well done
Thanks, great vid
Great Job
How does that have 6k views ? Awesome job guys ^_^
Very helpful for making a timeline in your head about Ancient Greece history! I'm using your material as review for AP World.
what about Minoans before the Mycenaeans?
Could you number your videos ... hard to find them in their oder
Watched all of it 11:01
This guy's voice ❤❤

It's very confusing how it's all grouped together.
I can read ancient Greek and I had Hellen and Helen of Troy confused. LOL
Good video but what about the minions
when he said homer
I went to my senses and said The Simpsons
11:03 525 BC - 260 BC
Mycenaean Greek approves of this video.
Hello History
Sparta is also known for a famous meme...
THIS...IS...SPARTA!!
pls make a video about the greek revolutio of 1821
Wow good 😖
English is in fact drawing on Ancient Greek vocabulary. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_words_of_Greek_origin
Why don't you show the entire history of Greece?
Jace T. Garcia's worlds #5854 Because this video is about ancient greece..
yes and if someone try to show all of our history , it should make a video about 3 hours ( if he dont tell all the detells
thanks soo much for these vids!(third comment)lol😂😂😂😂
Is he the john green
Where is ACHAEA? And where is Greece? Post-MYCENAEAN Dark Ages: 1100-630 BC; Ancient ACHAEA: 630-146 BC; 😊😊😊
What is your point?
Greeks did not ever wear togas. Those are Latin. Besides hitting such a serious pet peeve, good stuff!
Xanthe Paul greeks first wear togas. but when the romans conquer us , they admire us and they tried to take our culture clothes and uniforms
Yes is not only athens
And many from athens were from somewhere else
The athinian language is ionic and dorian
I came here after playing Hegemony Gold 😂😂😂
But it's great
nice but Hindi language use kro plzz
Learn English.
First thing you need to know before you
Hey! I love the way you speak... Hellas... Hellas... Hellas... Blah... Blah...
The Greek Polis
_if._
i hate you for making me have to write notes on this for global studies class
first
This should be called ancient Macedonia not ancient Greece
Lols! How can a part of the Hellenic world be identified with the whole?
The Greek kingdom of Macedonia is part of Ancient Greek history, so it’s correct. I don’t understand how you got confused.
first coment
Ain't no body care
Caden Shott are you serius ? we invented toilets in 1.600 b.c and every greek were doing bath once per day
You literally watched a video about it. You care too much.
