PNYX HILL MEGALITHS - ATHENS GREECE
Let's explore the Pnyx Hill in Athens - the cradle of democracy, where members of the Ecclesia (Ekklesia) like Pericles, Demosthenes, or Themistocles delivered speeches that helped to create western-civilisation. We will explore the megalithic, polygonal retaining wall and the cave known as the prison of Socrates.
Explored in July 2021.
It's a must see video for all of you, who visit Greece for the first time. To appreciate and cherish the magic of the place before you travel to Greece watch this. My vlog / full documentary will give you a little taste of Greek history and its wonders: Greek architecture and Greek mythology.

After my Exploration 2019 I agree with you this Wall is much older then scolars say. At least mycanean time, but no stone in mycines measures over 4 meters, pnyx maybe more old?? So pnyx got my favourite Wall in Greece. Great film with interesting background information👍👍👍💕

What an amazing site. I hate to say it but some of those walls do remind me of the polygonal walls at Sacsayhuaman in Peru ?. Here is a very famous quote that puts things into perspective "a beaver in Europe will build a dam the same way as one in the US..but they never talk to each other" ..😉peace to ya.

Co ja się nie naczekałem, ojejejej ;-DDD Ale warto było :-) I od razu się Pani przyznam, że też mi ten mur oporowy coś nie pasuje względem innych budowli.

@@ancientsitesgirl Dla mnie nie... raczej zaginiona technologia... i od razu powstaje pytanie jak oni je transportowali - bo masa niektórych megalitów może być chyba powyżej 100 ton. I te połączenia. Technika wygląda na bardzo podobną. Na widok tego muru aż mnie... zamurowało. Nie miałem pojęcia, że coś takiego jest w Atenach. Bardziej tajemniczy może być już chyba tylko labirynt Minotaura na Krecie. Jest Pani niesamowita :-)

I also think the wall is much older. According to Plato's account Athen's is atleast 10,000 years old. The city has been through incredible inundations. In the first place the Acropolis was not as now. For the fact is that a single night of excessive rain washed away the earth and laid bare the rock; at the same time there were earthquakes, and then occurred the extraordinary inundation, which was the third before the great destruction of Deucalion. But in primitive times the hill of the Acropolis extended to the Eridanus and Ilissus, and included the Pnyx on one side, and the Lycabettus as a boundary on the opposite side to the Pnyx, and was all well covered with soil, and level at the top, except in one or two places.
Another awesome video 😍

These retaining walls kept the topsoil of the mountain from eroding down. Would have been for hundreds if not thousands of years, like the Hypogeum. These blocks likely date back 5k-12kBC easily. Some of the oldest style Cycopian and Polygonal styles, contemporary with Baalbek, Temple Mount, Nimrod's Fortress, Jurash, Tomb of Saints.

Interesting video. Those holes look intriguing. If you go again maybe you could drop a gopro camera on a rope with a light down them and see how deep they are and where they lead to. What if they were airshafts to an underground city of something :)

Those stones remind me more of some of the foundational stones in Palmyra. Just massive, with almost perfect stonework. Very mysterious indeed. Also, as for the "holes," my guess is that they served as water cisterns. Anyone know for sure?
Yes, very tragic death of Socrotes. The 3rd of a succession of great philosophers, after Plato and Aristotle.

I somehow doubt that Socrates was ever imprisoned there, because like many Archaeological/ historical hypotheses, they are by word of mouth; of course there are some written records, but they're sketchy, at best. For many, there is a romanticised perspective on some of the early Greek Philosophers (embellishments); I consider the evidence is somewhat more fundamental, tho' that in no way detracts from the fascination associated with the Ancient world. As always, you're concise & to the point - I sometimes watch the Archaeological 'professionals', & whilst I do not doubt their expertise per se, there are occasions where they seem to stray into the world of the fantastic - I'd just prefer if they stated that they didn't know. Thus far, you've never stepped outside the box of rationale.
WOW! I love Europe! I'm tired of being an American.

The casting of stone is still in our Hungarian folk tale. But even in Greek. A little in the Inca. It is not in any other culture and therefore cannot be read.
