Too bad we are no longer on the Draxma. When we were, affordable was an understatement. For maybe 500 to 800 draxma you could get salad, entrée, dessert, water and wine and there were small hotels and mom and pops where you could easily find a room for eight to twelve dollars a night. These exact prices, yes the hotels even at ten bucks a suite which was what I paid, I did enjoy on weekend trips from school taking the Europass which is unlimited rides anytime you wanna hop on and off, after just a quick jot overnight in a train (don’t worry there is a bangin nightclub on the train or you can just have them make your bed and get some sleep in your cabin which is bed, vanity, and private toilet and shower if you’re lucky) to...🥁🥁🥁🥁drumroll please🥁🥁🥁🥁...Transylvania. If you want Europe on a budget with castles and cathedrals and art and architecture and incredible regional food where you can see traditional clothing, safe gypsies, incredible scenery, medieval preserved towns etc. then Transylvania is a great bet. Hungarian, Biertan, Viscri, Brasov... it’s all incredibly beautiful and after Prague lost its famous cheapest place in Europe claim to fame, Transylvania seems to have taken over. It’s no Greece and nothing on earth ever could be lol but it’s great for cheap Europe. Bulgaria and Macedonia are beautiful to see from the train too if you go from Greece depending on what side you are on but yea, the rails from Athens to Skopje, Sofia, Bucharest, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw, Moldova, are so affordable and the lodgings and food next to nothing it is the last remnants of the old days when people backpacked through Europe on a couple American dollars a day and saw and did it all, none of which exists anymore beyond this little patch of countries. But it’s something to enjoy at such a low price, cheaper than a trip in the states even and with Ryanair and stuff going around Europe and airlines where you can get from the US to one of the cities I mentioned for maybe 250 bucks and cheap stay upon arrival you gotta do it especially for those who never got a chance to see Europe and find it too pricey or too overwhelming an investment.

​@@sachinmesta4238 The only ‘inscription’ found inside the Great Pyramid was a red paint mark supposedly spelling out 'Khufu.' Colonel Howard Vyse, a British soldier, and Egyptologist supposedly discovered the mark while exploring the air shafts located just above the King’s Chamber. He needed a major find as his time & funding for exploration was running out, so he fabricated one. Egyptologist Zecharia Sitchin, discovered that the writing of Khufu’s name “is a fraud and was painted in May of 1837”. Sitchin states that Khufu was misspelled as 'Rhufu and his alleged sarcophagus was half his size & carved directly into the stone making up the Pyramid, which would not have been the case for an actual sarcophagus. The only other findings attributing the Pyramid to Khufu was the fact that some mortar from the pyramid was carbon dated to Khufu's approximate time. However, it is well known that Khufu made repairs on the Sphinx & also made repairs on the pyramid as well, which would account for the mortar.

I live here on Rhodes. Most scholars I have spoken to here believe the colossus stood where the medieval grand masters palace sits today. It was also wooden with bronze plates, it snapped at the knees. The Rhodians thought they angered the sun god Helios, who the colossus depicted. Since it was essentially a lighthouse it would make sense for it to have been up on the hill as opposed to at the waterline. The straddling of the harbour is indeed a myth.

I am a major ancient history lover, so I am happy to learn more about it. Additionally, I went to Chichen Itza. When you mentioned the Cenote it reminded me, there was a barred off area that actually had a massive hole in the ground. The tour guide mentioned about people getting pushed into the hole. They also said that when they explored it, there was 100,000 people down there. I admit, it has been 10 years since then so the information I just mentioned is most likely wrong since I don't remember what was said.

There was no such thing as an ancient Greek empire, Parthenon was built when the city state of Athens was at its peak of its power, the leader of the "Delus Coalition" an alliance that gradually became Athens' Hegemony. Secondly, it was never a catholic church, but an orthodox, since the Eastern Roman Empire was heavily influenced by orthodox Christianity, as opposed to the west. Katholicism and orthodoxy are two terms that describe the two main Christian creeds after the schism of Christianity. ( please, excuse any mistakes in expression, I'm not familiar with the correct terminology in English)

The coastal road was the only feasible landward approach into the interior for a large army. The Persians needed access to the sea for resupply as they progressed. The Westward terrain is quite mountainous with rough trails and narrow, easily defended valleys.The Persian army likely numbered 50-60 thousand and simply could not negotiate another route and retain offensive cohesion. Leaving the Aegean would have run the risk of starving as the Greeks could have easily cut off supplies with a small ground force and their strong navy. Also don’t forget Greeks led Persians there. The Persians had already a failed naval expedition prior to Xerxes, that got him worried so much that he avoided the penninsula of Athos by digging a canal. And then being unable to avoid the penninsula of Pelion, the Persian fleet suffered massive losses to the point that even after the storm ended, Xerxes constructed the fist lighthouse in the world at the cape Sepias. Even with a modern lighthouse, I’ve seen big modern shipwrecks there., it’s a no joke region. So, the Persian fleet managed to pass cape Sepia, dock at the bay of Aphetae and then it had to options in order to follow the army for supplies and circumvent Leonidas at Thermopylae. Whoever travelled the terrain can attest to the serious difficulty facing a significant ground force as the Italians discovered to their dismay in 1940 as well. Ancient Greeks were wonderful. Wonderful truly wonderful in strategic placements and war tactics, and modern warfare showcases the same- even with limited resources of any sort. I believe it has to do with the fact their wars were 99% defensive. This gives you motivation to f up anyone who comes to your home, and be ready to die over it. City states were one thing, but they all United during external threats as Hellenes. Fun fact, to this very day socially speaking the cities of Greece do have a funny rivalry. Old habits simply don’t die.

It's well documented that the Colussus did NOT straddle the the harbor entrance. It's ruins sat mostly unmolested beside its base for a long period of time before being scrapped.

Been to Rome and Pompeii. Both were worth every single penny. I’m still amazed Pompeii is as big as it is. Got lost in there!

There’s records showing that Elgin had a pretty good idea. He negotiated and purchased the items (so-called ‘marbles’) from local Greek officials, so that it was contractually legal, then exported them. Obviously this was questionable in terms of it being legit, but the flip side is that the site was being continuously abused, and continued to be for the next 100yrs, so had this not happened, the chances of them being so well preserved are basically zero. As for the British Museum giving them back.. yeah, not sure that’s ever going to happen.

Scrooge McDuck (voice of Alan Young): Launchpad! Look what you've done to these ancient ruins! Launchpad McQuack (voice of Terrence McGovern): Well, it could be worse. It could have been something new!

Ah, yes. Having rotating dining rooms for cenas in celebration of Dionysus is utterly genius idea. Also pretty damn interesting how the Parthenon held until others came.
