    At 4:44 in the video I showed a map which I labeled the Greek Empire. This is actually a map of the Byzantine Empire. I considered whether to label it Byzantine or Greek, because the Byzantine Empire, also called the Eastern Roman Empire was essentially Greek culture. The point I was making was that Greek-speaking people were living in this part of the world for centuries before the Ottomans conquered the region. I decided not to try to clarify the difference between the Byzantine Empire and Greek civilization since that would have been a tangent and it's complicated. But the main point was to explain in a general sense why there was a Greek town there during the 20th century: because of the clash of the Greek and Ottoman civilizations in what is now modern-day Turkey.

      Political issues doesn't meen that people are not able to live together over centuries, although we almost clearly know, that people in anatolia lived over thousands of years together. But history is written by the upper class politicians and emperor's. People in majority, 90 per cent, are still together in this region, and in every family group you will find at least one Greek and Turk, and at least a roman, they are all still living the Lykien life with Turkish connotation.
      Thank you for your discussion. I'm looking forward to learn more about turkey. Your trip is really interesting.

      Although greek speaking, They considered themselves as Roman, the direct heir of the Roman Empire . It is much latter after the fall of the Constantinople 1453 than we started to call them Byzantin Empire inorder not to confuse with the Roman Empire after the collapsed of Rome and the seperation of the Roman Empire into 2 parts . Please be accurate in your description . But historically there is no Greek Empire! As most people will not read your comment , your version is misleading .

      @ermalp3623 2 года назад

      Of course it is your right to call it how you feel and understand the history but the right term is Easter roman empire or because of the capital of the empire was called before the establishment of the empire bizantium then the historians calls it Bizantin empire.
      Despite history being far from the truth, as it is written by the winners, I think there are pretty good reasons why the historian don't call it greek empire.

      Dave H Dear Dave, Yes, I am an English teacher. Thank you for teaching me this new word. The second meaning is what you are referring to. This is what I have found: “The term "bushwhacker" came into wide use during the American Civil War (1861-1865). ... In some areas, particularly the Appalachian regions of Tennessee and North Carolina, the term bushwhackers was used for Confederate partisans who attacked Union forces.” You see that is why we all love Gabriel because we always learn something new from hím or through him. I will teach this word in my American civilisation and history class. I love it how Gabriel discovers beaches even if he needs to “bushwhack” . The word originates from the Civil War but you can simply use it for hiking where there is no trail.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  4 года назад +2

      Bushwhacking has different meanings depending on the context. I didn't know about the Civil war origins myself. In general it just means hiking off trail. Michael Adrienne that's super cool to hear. Where are you teaching English?

Muslims aren’t even allowed to destroy trees so you can understand that they would allow the people to live peacefully and get along well. Muslims respect everyone. It was nice to read your comment.

    Hi Gabe....great to see you trek down to the paradise beach...I swam there a few years back, beautiful but a bit busy with cool folks and sadly, buzzy with bees! The surface of the sea was covered in them, floating and desperate for water as streams and wells were dry. I heard that farmers had been encouraged to keep them, (saw hundreds of hives in the mountains nearby), but water was in short supply and bees drink water.....it made swimming amongst them interesting...Beautiful region though, looking forward to seeing you on the Lycian Way.

    Excellent. There is much more behind the abandonment of Levissi than a simple ‘population exchange’. It was an ethnic expulsion, which occurred at the end of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), following a period of Turkish persecution of the Greek population during World War I. The most notorious of the expulsions was that at the major port of Smyrna/Izmir in the same region

    Hi Gabe! Great videos... just to correct you, around minute 5, it wasn't the greek empire, it was bisantium, the eastern roman empire, and Constantinopole got it's name from roman emperor Constantin, in I beleive the 3.th century, later it was called Bisant, and it was the main city for Roman empire. Greetings from Croatia!

      Byzantine Empire, yes, which was essentially Greek. Too complicating to try to explain the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and how it differed from the Roman Empire vs. Greek Empire. It's complicating and I'm no expert.

      @@GabrielTravelerVideos you are absolutely right! The Byzantine empire was mainly Greek - and a little bit Armenian etc. There is a "movement" though lately with a strange "agenda", which is deliberately trying to change the name of the Greek-Byzantine empire, turning it into "the Eastern Roman Empire". The sole reason for doing this is to de-Grecisize Byzantium and ultimately turn it by propaganda into ROMAN! And of course this turns to be quite convenient to the Turkish authorities, who have been for decades now delibebrately calling every single Greek-Byzantine monument., church e.t.c. in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) ROMAN, so that they ultimately obliterate the millennia old presence of Greeks in Asia Minor. What they are trying to do is to artificially promote Turkey as a millennia old country with rich history, cultural heritage e.t.c. when actually none of it is true....

    Man, I wonder how ancient people got water to those stone towns they built. That is dry country. Or maybe I am too adjusted to the Pacific northwest climate. That beach sure looks good after trekking through the countryside!

    Bushwackin’ it for sure! I remember watching one of Angela Vlog’s videos (you turned me on to her) in Australia when she and a friend came upon a brown snake which she filmed and attempted to follow into the bush and someone commented that it was the 2nd deadliest snake in the world. So, yeah, if u don’t see any snakes I’m ok with that. R u sure u don’t ever get blisters wearing those sandals?

    Do you take out a special travel health insurance ? being that you're traveling all over the world so many countries
    Because of the coronavirus I see some countries are requiring that.
