- Howdy ya’ll. Let’s look at a few of the oldest photographs of Greece, taken in and around Athens, from 1850 through the year 1900. For centuries the landscape which we know today as Greece, with its ancient monuments and unforetold discoveries, was well-known to scholars, but almost off limits to travelers.
With Greek independence, the artworks, relics, and artifacts of Ancient Greece became the centerpiece to many lavish collections, both private and public. With the influx of attention to the area came the need for photographic evidence to coincide with the detailed archeological excavations.
The reign of Ancient Greek architecture can best be showcased in these images. The astounding first images of Athens stood out to me the most. Enjoy the collection of images of Ancient Greece, save any of these photographs, and leave your thoughts & ideas in the comments down below!

My family saw the Acropolis in 1967 on a vacation. What was amazing were all the sea shells and other sea items that were up there and massive amounts of marble chunks and chips. It was incredible. Thanks for all of these photographs.
Colossal tsunami waves decimated Greece and Italy and other Mediterranean regions in the 1300's - then western Europe.
South Asia was decimated by tsunami waves in the 1400's - then Caribbean regions were decimated by tsunami waves - along with Florida.
Eastern regions of the usa were inundated with seawater c1500 ...
Then central regions of North America, then western regions ...
Then western regions again in the early 1700's ...
Ooo , the year 1850 , that's not even a full decade after the Flood. Yeah , I bet shells were all over the place.
you mean Noah's flood happened in 1840 ? @@elvispresley5921
Where were the shells? In the walls and ground? or just around the site?
… seashells make aggregate/concrete extremely strong…
@@elvispresley5921what flood are you referring to plz?
Been to Athens twice, 1990 and 2018.
Big differences between them in only 28 years.
In 1990 was much more free and easy, but rougher.
Surprisingly in 1990 they held a Alice Cooper concert on the Acropolis, open for free as I remember.
I was there in 1967 and you are right there were a great number of marble chips and rubble we walked all over
@@johnje4285 thanks for the reply and conversation.
I see others were there in 1967 also commenting, were Americans stationed there during 1967 war in Jerusalem?
Your work leaves me speechless most times. Thank you
Thank you for being here for everything. I love being able to shed some light on the incredible architecture through photographs of the past.
@@FRESHboosters I always share your videos because you manage to find photos few can. Thank you again.
i just love Jarid's Song!!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing your collection.
It really pulls my heartstrings
Thank you, Jarid. You're doing important work. You are a great force in the movement of discovering ourselves. Thank you.❤
msg Yes he is !
Great video. Enjoy your topics and i appreciate all the work you put into your videos. 😊
So nice of you to say that. I appreciate you being here, friend
You have very unique approach in your presentation of those photographs. I like how you always leave a portion without voice over, for people to just watch and interpret. Great work, Jarid.
Yeassss
You are a talented narrator bro
I love Jarid’s voice, and the music well everything really 😊
As usual, so few people or life. Almost a total loss in so much the world.
Thanks for caring and sharing !
"The Immortality Key" has a great deal to say about our beloved ancient Greece. Perhaps you've read it already. We never know quite enough. Onward!
History is always written by the winners….
By the cheats not winners 😮
yungdial No it is written by the controllers !!!
I was reading civil war stuff the other day... If the French won, it's the American -french defeated. British... Years later... The British-americans defeated the French... Oh so winning a battle automatically makes you American?
Really appreciate your work mate thank you 🙏 I find them fascinating and relaxing 😊
Wonderful. Tyvmuch🌏🕊
Seems like something is buried within the Acropolis itslef
It's titans. The Acropolis Rock itself was made by the titans' hardening ability.
In 2004, I went Greek Isles and mainland! It was durring Olympics that had returned for the first time for thousands of years.!
So lucky...
I remember photographing this same images
So much history in one place. Great collection of old B&W photos. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, nice video. There is a person standing on the mountain in the first clip... giant 😮
a Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon translated . That old dragon Dragon in Greek as Siton meaning grain, grain and plough meant Zeus Arotrios meaning plow man. Great show thankyou
Hi Jarid another great one. The newest Indiana jones movie had the siege of Syracuse in it.
3:30 Biscayne? Sounds exactly like my ancestors the Visconti-Sforza. To this day the city of Milan and Alpha Romeo Autos plus Football Club Milan use the Visconti Biscayne as their logo. (Yes I wear Puma Milan Team sneakers in blue). The Visconti arrived in Milan from Sicily, which was historically ruled by Athens as the heart of the Greek powerhouse.
One of my former colleagues back in Germany was from Sicily
@ 6:25 look at the BASE of the structures all the way around, jutting out into the water... seems super ANCIENT- could have been part of a starfort?? At 8:30 also.
What is a star fort?

Moving like Greece lighting through those tunnels from our past with very little enegry.....Jarid....could you play some Niel diamond for US/Germany and Russia!....God bless!
Thank you so much from Greece. Can you do a video of Old Worl buildings of Thessaloniki? It's the co-capital of Greece. you ll be amazed of the rich material you'll find of Old World Thessaloniki. Thank you.
A practical question for any Greek experts: where did they get fresh water for even small populations? The area appears to be an absolute desert.
As always no matter beliefs of the when or how of orig construction the images are amazing to see. PS: keep an open mind w/photo editing done in era of 1900s.
Not a single image was edited out of all of these.
In the late 1800s people didn’t f around with retouches and stuff like this.
As an analog photographer myself i know for a fact the films used at the time were so low speed that you had to take very long exposures, even in bright day light. Optics were not very good and they didn’t really have fast apertures neither, hence why we don’t see people, and if we do they are all blurry because they had to stand for 30seconds to 2 minutes straight without moving.
All images showing the sea has the sea being flat like a floor without a single ripple and to have such an effect it’s at least 60seconds, but without ripples caused by the waves ? At least 2 minutes.
The sky being all white without clouds is due to the poor quality of optics coupled with the low contrast of the films at the same, which makes the sky overexposed. You can shoot an old camera lens with some modern film in it, the non anastigmat lenses will provoke the same effect of having the sky appear overexposed, all white without details.
It’s only at the beginning of the 1900s that we see photographers going the artistic route trying different printing methods, doing some retouching or combining film negatives.
These photographs shown here were taken by tourists or professional photographers, but none of them were edited.
See a lack of indigenous trees in photos. On a drive, see hapless scrub. Nothing vibrant but forced. Miles, square miles of corn. Jack's Beanstalks are extinct. When rescaled we're living rubble with curb value landscaping. No creature needs farming. They callously eat each other...
First photo ever? Yeah.. No.. I’m sure there’s records going back further for everything.
You can also locate a few more photographs here (seemingly dated to the 1840’s) which I was unable to add to the video. They are attributed to Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (according to this source) www.greeknewsagenda.gr/the-first-photograph-of-the-acropolis-and-its-history/
Beautiful. Athens is sort of the linchpin to architectural history. Even in Athens they built "Greek Revival in the late 19th and early 20th century which is when all the state capitals were also built also in "Greek Revival", accordibg to the narative. Did you find any construction photos of the Academy in Athens?
Parthenonas.
😇👍
R.I.P. the tartarian empire. One day may you return
When looking at the oldest photo when wasnt much there i swear it was a mining or quary all the arches at bot of rubel were where they would have people picking threw for whatever there mining identical to other known operations
😮 città sempre vuote senza abitanti. Come mai?
That plateau reminds me of a giant tree stump.
It probably is.
Same
😀👍
Entrance to the Acropolis, Circa 1900... Is it my eyes, or is there a lady seated in a small cave entrance to the right of this picture??
At 9:59 I see something there but shadowing seems odd on that cave compared to the umbrella. Good catch.
This is very interesting - does anybody know what we are looking at? (6:44)
We see the so called Franconian Tower. It was destroyed by an archeologist named Heinrich Schliemann.
Όταν ο Λυκαβηττός ήταν λιγότερο πράσινος , αλλά τουλάχιστον ήταν ακέραιος , καί αδομητος από τίς αυθαίρετες Κολωνακιωτικες πολυκατοικίες , πού κοντεύουν νά φτάσουν στήν κορυφή του !!!
Let's all go to home Depot and buy blocks and bricks and get started i know i am who's with me!!? Am collecting bricks and concrete block molds
Where's the people? There are plenty of buildings and no people. There is no trace of repeated movement on the dirt streets either. The men in military uniforms makes me think all of this was a recon mission; including the photography.
We are in church class.....The kingdom in your heart ! Movement ! easy yoke slide scale on automatic ....make some more castle cathedral gardens.....Gathering in the mist of clean clear and quite as a little baby sleeping.
@John Wilson Your comment is a Mind Control trigger.

Let’s be real, the ancients ruins speak for themselves that humanity was restarted some time around 1850, perhaps earlier like in 1700.
How could populations leave these structures to crumble in ruins like this over the thousands of years ? It’s simple : Because those who built these things and the generations that used to live with these buildings still intact died, humanity was wiped out along the way and then thousands of years later a new type of human beings appeared on the earth, and we find these things laying in ruins, we don’t know anything about the history and people make sheet up as they go.
The human species we are today is only an inheritor of everything it’s obvious, we are not descendants of these people of the old world, humanity has been wiped out inbetween
Every ancient city has a tale of a serpent God king ruler. It's beginning to be a serious problem.
The past civilization fell from the sky. That shit wasn't built here bro
Obviously built around the base of an ancient tree stump, just saying
Chasing it with
watermark....Invade
3:34 ye the main history is total B.S. only in this picture in a part of the town there are 3 Moscow's, imagine, how many this city have ... Greek War of Independence 1821 !!! 🤣 from Orthodontic People 😂😂 and in 1860 still Moscow's and i cant see a Church !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so B.S. Greek is an invented History
U maybe right, but do ya have to be 😵💫? Educate people, criticizing doesn't get ur point across. ❤
I just don't know how to say this . . .but the voice of the narrator that accompanies these stunning photos doesn't sound very trained. It is amateurish and unconvincing. This particular American accent turns me off and makes me think think that this person is not very educated. Sorry. Find a trained professional to do this.
Move on lol!
Many times what we don't need are "trained" professionals.
@@gregblanton9386 maybe that account will pay to hire a narrator?
Seems even channels like Real History that has corporate commercial support has trouble with hiring narrators, the numbers of subs should show the brief narration here is comforting to them, I enjoy it and am left wanting more.
@franksmiteurmouth... Your mom obviously did not teach you...... if you don't have anything good to say do not say anything at all !
Nobody cares about your negative opinion !
Have you ever thought that he might have had some problems when he was born or he might have some speech impediment problems ....for crying out loud.... the guy gave a great presentation my daughter just spent a semester in Greece and I'm trying to learn about it and I read your lousy comment !
Go crawl back in the hole you came out of.
God is not mocked....Judge not that ye be not judged; for with that judgment ye judge..ye shall be judged... and with what measure ye meet ye shall be met with that measure.
