Athens gave the world its modern political system the birth of democracy is a long and complicated yet utterly galvanizing process. Even the Gods have a say in worldly doings. The city beneath the Acropolis becomes the very cradle of western culture. Derek: Architecture is not philosophy. Since these buildings in the first 20 minutes of your presentation are not the beginning of modern society, I'm hoping you get around to the philosophy of the Greeks. So far, it seems a huge bait and switch. I clicked to find discussion on the ideas that formed society, and all that is delivered is an archeology study of Greek buildings. Interesting in its own right, but label it accordingly, Timeline.

no it was no the advance to modern society began with christian, Luther and the Protestant movement which enabled science adding to that the magna carta, but what enabled it all was the evolution the written word of which the oldest alphabet was found in Iberian French border region some 17000 yeas that had an evolution deep with in H. neanderthal times or even older with an out of England France Germany areas possibility with tooling changes recorded there from that date of around 500, 000 years from memory

actually, it was not a cradle. The problem is that the Middle East, especially the north, really, created the knowledge that Athenians used and copied. but those parts suffered from immense volcano eruption and then later drought. so society could not recover. they did not forget but there was no reason to use them. on top of everything, they get invaded by periphery tribes. only Egypt is mostly isolated from that. what Athenians did was to copy them

Greece is a Apex of civilization because it put emphasis on the control of government in the population but now that is always trying to be eroded by the politicians always grasping and fighting for more power without political narcissism people would be free

Ancient Athens population. had first democracies on the planet, besides its pagans religious (with multiple Gods ) far from religious intolerance. their out look about whole lives were more reasonableness & progressives than their neighbors. thanks

It s funny how much nothing has changed after more than two-thousand years.
Think about it; the rich and powerful still struggle to outdo each other, while those who do the actual work still struggle, just to get by.

I think the West has always put too much stock in the Greek and Roman cultures and our supposed roots, but simply ignores the 12, 000 years of society and culture that happened before.

I agree let's have it look like it did when it was new? Do we always have to make this stuff look like it was blown up? I think the ancient Greeks would want it that way.

You ve gotta dance like there s nobody watching,
Love like you ll never be hurt,
Sing like there s nobody listening,
And live like it s heaven on earth

So Greece is responsible for all this political nonsense, class warfare, consumer erosion society, lack of morality, and the modern rat race. Damn Zeus!
reply

Should probably say in Europe in the title. Even the video points that out. Because Athens didn't change much if anything in say China.

I think that it Would Be Fantastic to see the Acropolis and Parthenon FULLY RESTORED to it's MAGNIFICANCE of when it was new and in color!

As an American I was a guest of Greece for 7 1/2 years. It is the best country I've ever been too with all its history and people.
