As a Greek, a lot of misinformation was included hear. 1. The buildings on the Acropolis were built after the Persian wars so that's not why it was fortified 2. Pericles was not the head of the construction. Rather, it was an architect who's name I don't remember 3. Not all city states were in the alliance and it's main purpose was not financial but militaristic (like NATO) 4. Sparta was not in the Delian league (it was the leading city in an other league) and the Peloponnesean war started because Athens attacked an ally of Sparta (Corinth)

Pericles managed to finish the task. It's unfair to say that he just Initiated cause when Phidias was accused that he was stealing gold he back him up and Phidias by himself proved his innocence.

do we need an example to get a sense of that? 🤔 everyone knows how long a year is and that was 2400+ years ago.

Its like a patch work quilt.

fun fact! Pericles wanted funding from athenian citizens and they wouldn’t give any, so he said that he would create a sign saying the he was the only one funding it and that no athenian contributed, next day everyone gave money

I would this that island would be a place of interest for pirates or any group wanting to get rich

Truly fascinating!

So beautiful place ❤️ we full great up there !!!

Sparta was never a member of the Athenian alliance, but the leading power of the Peloponnesian alliance. Sparta was the winner of the war. Athens accepted a humiliating peace treatment , was disarmed and ruled by a 40 member Council appointed by the Spartans.

Currently in Athens look sitting at my hotel balcony with a extraordinary view of the Acropolis. It's an image I will never forget.

Always intriguing

I'm glad to see more people appreciating these wonders of the ancient world!

I was the master builer of this site. I built many ancient monuments and buildings all over the ancient world

Firstly its pronounced "Niki" in Hellenic and "Naik" like the company in English Nike as you said its its incorrect at both.Also Spartans didnt start the war because they were jealus and broke but Delian league got turned into an Athenian and they opressed the vast majority of Hellenic world and even commit a couple of Genosides as well.Athenians were criminals at many levels but we like to think about democracy just for the shake of favouritism and not thinking critically.

There is scaffolding for years on the Parthenon and a very complex and complicated task is in the way by scanning and photographing all the small rocks in the area and a computer tries millions of combinations trying to find where every piece could potentially fit. If all combinations are eliminated then sculptors make by hand a piece that fits and it's added on to the puzzle.

This video is wrong on so many levels 1) In Delos was the treasury of the Athenian alliance, not of all the Greek city states 2) Athens did not just borrow the money, it was straight up stealing it from the alliance. 3) The war between Athenean and Spartan alliance happened because they both wanted to rule over all Greece, not because Athens was building structures. 4)Athens eventually lost to Sparta

All the ae you said, ex: “daelos”, are just pronounced e: Delos, Nike= NeeKee etc.

You mean the Parthenon. The acropolis is a hell of a lot older than periklese

Are you logging and writing down these experiences just in case you don’t have these videos one day?

Man us and greeks had alot of wars fr

The delian league included only states in alliance with Athens. Hence, it is often called the Athenian Empire. Lakedaemonia (where Sparta was located) obviously did not belong in the Delian League

Great story ,no way was a bank of anykind at that time. As was the paramids were built for grandeur so was this.

Ancient Greeks travelled away from a kingdom that didn't allow some groups of people and they started living in areaa around Greece

It's Nikki, not Nikee , learn to pronounce it properly

Probably more likely The citizens worshipped the goddesses in hopes of a successful outcome in the long Peloponnesian War fought against the Spartans and allies.[1] Although they did have to rebuild it after the Persian destroyed the archaic temple that originally stood there. I'm sure it had a double meaning of Victory over their fellow Greek city States and the Persians as well.

He doesn't need to provide evidence. Archaeologists and historians did that a thousand times already, and we have tons of unambiguous evidence, mostly from inscriptions in stone, that proof everything said in the Video. That Pericles was at that time head of the state, that Athens abused it's control over the Delian league's money, and that this money was used to build the building projects of that time on the Acropolis. While there is tons of proof for all this, there is absolutely nothing, not even a tiny bit of evidence, that says otherwise. Now it's your choice if you want to believe what is a proven fact accepted and confirmed by every historian on this world, or rather think that you, someone who has no remotely deep knowledge about the subject, are smarter than all of them.

This is very inaccurate
