As a turk, i really love learning about both ancient and modern greek history. Greeks are lucky not just beacuse of that they can understand greek songs' meanings but the fact that they can reach a lot of sources about greek history in greek language. Love from the other side of the aegean 🇹🇷🇬🇷

As a Greek myself, I can say that this is the first video which encompasses all the most basic information in less than an hour, and it's explaining everything it does need to explain in the most necessary essence. Astonishing documentary, with excellent choice of pictures and videos. God bless you 👑
P.S. In modern Greek, it's also called Ελλάς (Ellas, without the "H" sound that is the result of the spiritus asper)

I've always found the history of Eastern Europe to be both fascinating and underappreciated. From Stefen Nemanja in Serbia to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos in Byzantium, it's an adventure learning. I'm from a Chinese civilisation so learning about other cultures as old or older than mine is exciting. Most fascinating is how Greece have survived as individual city states and never lost their culture despite being dominated by both the Latin Romans and Ottoman Turks. That is strength and pride!
Much love to the people of Greece from Taiwan 🇬🇷❤🇹🇼

Great presentation. I'm currently learning Greek. There are so many words in English and Spanish that are derived from Greek, I'm having a great time learning. Seeing how human history is, I'm confident in saying that one day in the future, the traditional parts of Greece that are being held by turkey will eventually return to their rightful owners. What we are living is only a blip in history, but Greece is eternal.

As a Greek, this video has just risen to the absolute top of my list of documentaries made about Greek history! I am astonished by the elegance of writing, thorough yet accessible presentation style, and pitch-perfect analysis of events. How you’ve managed to do this in under an hour is incredible. A truly flawless production. Thank you for your work, you’ve just won a new fan!

As a Greek American, I absolutely loved the reverence shown for Greece's history and culture. You have a tremendous ability to boil down ~2,500 years of history into just one hour. One critical thing that I think was missed was the Greek Pontian and Armenian genocide that occurred 1919-1922. The video made it seem like a somewhat peaceful transfer of population but in reality it was a horrific and explicit genocide by Ataturk. Otherwise, incredible recollection.

Brilliant documentary about a people who has refused to be dominated throughout the centuries by almost every major empire the world has ever seen, or at least left its marks on it that still echoes to this very day. The Greek spirit is an unbreakable one, just like the phalanx once was. Breathtaking story of these brave people and their culture, and I hope to see the Greeks prosper and flourish for decades, if not centuries, to come.
Stay strong, Ελλάς.

I went to Greece as a teenager and was blown away by the hospitality shown to me and my girlfriend . It changed me profoundly.
