  • After 867 AD the map is full with mistakes

  • as a Persian I can honestly say that we never faced a more honourable or worthy opponent than the Romans in our entire history and weve faced them all!

  • @persianparsal what about the Macedonians? were they less worthy then the Romans?

  • @3dwardcullen69 Their Phalanx asses were smoked by the more maneuverable Roman cohorts.

  • @Muzaror We are comparing worthy enemies to the Persians, not Romans vs Macedonians directly. And I think Macedonians were worthier opponents to the Persians than the Romans were, considering the Macedonians conquered all of Persia. stay focused.

  • @3dwardcullen69 Actually, I don't really care. I am still a Dutchman, and in that time, I was living in Germania. And we all know what Germans like, right?

  • @Muzaror In what time? Roman times? I doubt you were living at all during those times. But yeah, Germania: a vast land of forests sprinkled with barbaric tribes. I can see why you have no opinion on Rome in comparison.

  • @Muzaror Yes: germans like beer.

  • @3dwardcullen69 Yes, they were. Romans created war machinery.

  • @sanctainquisitio Yes they were what? Lol what are you talking about?

  • @3dwardcullen69 Makedonians were less worthy (by a general point of view) of romans, which were the first "professional" soldiers and army. I'm talking about my own history and culture, which is not your canadian one. :-)

  • @sanctainquisitio Youre talking about your own history and culture? I don't see how. As far as your youtube account says, you're from Italy and we're not talking about Italy are we. We're talking about the Roman Empire. I've stated that the Macedonians were worthier opponents to the Persians than the Romans were. Which is undoubted. The Macedonians accomplished more in that regard than Emperor Trajan could. So i don't see how you have an argument. :)

  • @3dwardcullen69 Italy's culture is exactly the roman one.... there is nothing in our nation that is not connect to ancient Rome. And what should Trajan do more than conquer the place? Possis nihil Urbe Roma visere maius.

  • @sanctainquisitio Italy was made in 1861. I doubt the Romans ate pasta or pizza. I doubt they would have accepted being the worlds shoemakers. Had they continued to exist, I doubt the Romans would have performed so poorly in ww1 and 2, such as Italy did. Granted, there are still some minute similarities between Italians and Romans, mainly in language (yet the same can be said about other nationalities), suggesting everything in Italian culture is connected to ancient Rome is a ridiculous farce.

  • @3dwardcullen69 Obvious your mind is plenty of stereotypical crap and historical ignorance. so i will not insist on teaching to such an individual. But i will tell you to think about your own culture (whatever it is) and accept the fact that only italians are the pure heirs of romans, even if anyone around is trying to state that each of them are. Rome is Italy, the others are conquered and colonized territories, and have nothing to do with roman dna.

  • @sanctainquisitio You want a historical argument? ok: Seeing as 1/3 of the population on the Italian peninsula were slaves brought from all corners of the Roman world, ethnically modern Italy is essentially a slave state. Also, the Germanic influences culturally, ethnically are obvious and cannot be ignored. So for all you know your ancestors were slaves for the Romans. I hold no stereotypes against Italians. Ive visited Italy and loved it. but Italians are not Romans, they are too mixed.

  • @3dwardcullen69 No slaves. You must study seriously. Germans were not evens slaves, but part of the late roman-germanic empire. Sotherns always have been greek, and later some arabian influences, but when the empire was over. And center italians are much similar to their roman ancestors, though the sardinians remind them physically. Thanks for loving Italy, that is the only daughter of Rome.

  • @sanctainquisitio Late Roman-Germanic Empire?what is that?Looks like im not the one in need of a history lesson. Some Italians cling to a false notion that they are the sole descendants of the Romans. It seems they do this in order to overcompensate for the lack of achievements on Italy's part relative to other countries who CAN make the same claims. You IGNORE the fact that the Western Roman Empire discontinued in 476 AD and Italy, in 1861, emerged as a MIX of Barbarians, Slaves and some Romans

  • @3dwardcullen69 You are the only one ignoring here that Italy is the only legittimate nation of the romans. The other ones are just conquered territories we left buildings to. Italy is Rome, and Rome is Italy. And you shouldn't talk about barbarians, which never took part in Italy. All the italian populations are pre-roman, there weren't slaves in 1861 and we are still romans. By the way, you will consider interesting that for us "barbarians" are the non-romans, so canadians are barbarians too.

  • @sanctainquisitio Obviously there were no slaves by 1861, i was talking about your ethnicity. It is said that 1/3 of the people in Italy were foreign slaves during Roman times. AND Germanic tribes and Northern Africans settled in Italy after the WRE fell. Roman society discontinued in Italy for 1500 years. How in the world can you consider yourself the pure descendants of the Romans? We can agree to disagree, but my opinion is based on historical evidence, yours is based on myth and nationalism.

  • @sanctainquisitio btw your remark on Canadians is not accurate at all. You see a Roman can say that about a non Roman land, but an Italian? That sounds so out of place. Not to mention that, that is a primitive way of thinking. When I say the modern ethnicity of today's Italians is made up of "barbarians" and slaves I'm looking at it from a Roman perspective. But what I really mean to say is people who are not of Roman stock. I dont think modern Italians and Germans are barbaric, just not Roman

  • @persianparsal

    Romans and Persians weakened each other through constant fighting, allowing Arabs to conquer both people's lands.

  • @wing2912 Persians saved their asses because,when murdered, Caesar was preparing his war against them.

  • the country of greece is now the new roman empire because greeks are calling themselves romans until now.

  • @seleukoskallinikos Which comic books have you been reading, pal?

  • 1453 = Depression

  • Why did i even said what i said? , gosh must have been real tired or something , thx a lot , good video ! lol

  • @Schinshikss

    Ok ,that i agree with, everyone can find it back in the style things have been build ,check the old buildings from 1700

  • This video is error , because the roman empire has never been as big as it is now , only now they try to keep it hidden..

  • @WeAreONEbigFamily

    Nope, the Roman Empire does not hide herself, she had only changed her name.

    If you consider that the governmental buildings of the most powerful country of the world are built in Roman style, you will get my idea.

  • 03

    Byzantine History : The combination between the legal system, political-administrative roman and greek thought.

  • 02

    Byzantine history, then, stretches in a continuous line from the latter centuries of Rome to the very beginning of the modern period. It transmited the classical culture of Greece and Rome but it also developed a unique historical and cultural character based on a synthesis of Greek and Roman elements.

  • I found a great video called ROMAN EMPIRE - THE TRUTH which shows the latest discoveries beneath the Roman origin and what happened to Romans when their empire collapsed.

  • yes romanians have roman/latin blood. :)

  • the word byzantines is a later invention of historians.

    through out the history of eastern roman empire, it was called roman& the subjects romans.

    thats the reason why:

    romania is called as such.

    balkans were called after 1453,l rumeli

    greeks call themselves hellenes but also romioi

    the seljuk turkish empire in anatolia) was called sultanate(empire )of the rum(romans).

    in the quran, byzantines are called al-rum,(romans).

    turks call the greeks yunan(ionians) but also rumlar(romans)

    

  • @amet1980also greek orthodox christians are also called in turkish rum ortodoks, roman orthodox.

  • Rome still lives in the Vatican Basilica...

  • HAHAHA PROUD TO BE A TURK^^

  • Rome still lives in her people!

  • This video always makes me think about how many people lived and died during these times that i ll never know where ever here ..

  • @lexpocalik same here

  • Byzantine Empire = Eastern part of the roman world, heir and successor of the roman civilization, that assumed under Justinian an own character, with the fusion of the solid and well articulate apparatus roman imperial state, greek culture and christian religion in a highly centralized system with to the vertex the sacred figure of the emperor, sole political and religious authority. End. :)

  • To be precise :

    01. Roman Kingdom : 753 BC–509 BC. 02. Roman Republic : 509 BC–27 BC.

    03. Roman Empire : 27 BC–395 AD. 04. Western Roman Empire : 395 AD– 476 AD. 05. Eastern Roman Empire : 395 AD–610 AD.

    Roman Empire gradually evolved into a Byzantine Empire - The Successor :

    06. Byzantine Empire : 610 AD–1453 AD.

    State Roman : 753 BC - 1453 AD. Greetings.

  • @123DROCK im just saying that in mere 50 years all of the balkans were bulgarian imagine what kind of soldiers we had and then welcome 1000 wars

  • @nadriel666 "in mere 50 years all of the balkans were bulgarian" xaxaxaxaxa....

  • byzantine where doing so well but, there where the caliphat who beat them , than when caliphat is gone there was monghol empire and monghol left there osman who made the ottoman empire that destroyed byzantine.

  • @bbzgangster3 is that all you can say? seriously? stupid fucking turkish immigrant go back to your cave in mongolia...

  • this is not true

    ROMANIA=romans and dacs

  • You can see from the map that Romans went everywhere in Europe where's sea. Why not in Denmark? I don't get it. Looks like they actually tried that about in year 20 year 60 years before that. I have never heard that did they fight with Scandinavians but I guess they did :/

  • @isokessu hey they were never able to even cross the rhein. Check out the documentary "history channel Decisive battles teutoburg forest" made with the graphiks of "rome total war"

  • 1:09 so sad :(

  • Hey- um, did the Romans still posses Trebizond by 1400, or 1453? I thought it was just Constantinople and the area around Corinth....anyone help?

  • @RogueRaven17

    In 1204, Constantinople was sacked and the successor kingdoms were in green. Empire of the Trebizond was the last relic of Rome to survive but fell on 1461. 8 years after Constantinople

  • The end was very sad...

  • @yoshi8869 Rome was good up until the Christians and Jews destroyed it from within. As far as Charlemagne he was a genocidal Christian murder. He murdered huge numbers of people that wanted to keep their European religion rather than be forced into the Jewish cult of Christianity.

  • @CrazyChitTV

    True. Europeans had their own religions long before all that jesus stuff

  • @CrazyChitTV

    Constantine won the battle of the Milvian bridge because he became Christian. If he did not become Christian, Maxentius would have been sole ruler but possible continue the Roman Civil war. There is a possibility that Rome would have lasted before the 2nd millennium.

  • @CrazyChitTV

    Ha and like the Rome before was "Nice"

    I mean seriously. Rome is my favorite ancient Nation, but they weren't the nicest group of folks when it cam to enemies.

  • the greatest of all empires.

  • Love the music :D

  • good job! 

  • The 1st king of Rome was Romulus. The last Emperor of Rome was- Romulus. Spooky.

  • the last roman emperor was actually Constantine XI, but both are still spooky as Constantine the I was a great emperor

  • History is great, but what is really entertaining is listening to a bunch of 20th century nationalists fight over which latterday country "owns" the ancient heritage. Was Byzantium Greek, or Roman, or Albanian, or Anatolian, or Romanian? Today it is owned by Turkey and Islam; is that significant? Greeks want to believe that they are the same peoples as the classical Greeks, if not the ancient Greeks. or Minoans. But not Egyptian, by the gods.

  • falto poner en azul el territorio galo perteneciente al reino de afranio siagrio (desaparecido en 486), el otro ultimo reducto del imperio romano de occidente.

  • Comment removed

  • Even more interesting is the fact that approximately 10 to 20% of modern day Greece's population is of Roman descent. But, like the Romans thousands of years ago, these Romagnae as they call themselves have become enchanted by the Greek culture and are forgetting their language (Romanesci - pronounced "romaneshti") and their Roman morals. They survived as shepherds and were not bothered very much by the Turks during Ottoman times.

  • A+

    KOOOOOOL VIDEO!!!

    Saludos from MACHU PICCHU Peru!

  • @ArtoriusMaximus777

    .

    I like the fact you had the colour different just to show the change between the fact that Roman went from Republic to Empire. Though the number you had come up 20AD would be a map accurate during the early years of Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus (formerly Tiberius Claudius Nero)

  • the map should have shown mespotamia, and armenia being roman provinces in 115 CE. this was the time when the roman empire was at it's largest extent.

  • The Roman empire lasted even longer in a respect. The Holy Roman Empire was founded in 962 In Italy and included the Kingdom of Italy Germany Holland Austria and many many more Europe nations. And at the time was seen as a revival of the western Roman Empire. It was a powerful empire that united a very divided Europe it made nations out of tribes. It survived in various forms until 1806.

  • sorry but the holy roman empire was roman by name and nothing more, it was more german, it had nothing to do with the roman or byzantine empires which were legit fully roman, if there was a third rome, it was russia because they became to be brothers with the fading byzantines and the last roiman/byzantine princess married a czar. Holy roman empire was named roman because the pope crowned Charlemagne to thank him for saving his life and challenge byzantium as rome's heir.

  • good video

  • Roma Victor!!!!! haha love this vid....

  • kewl.

  • Va rog add me !

  • The byzantines considered themselves Rhōmaioi, "Romeo" ( or romans in greek ), and called their state Basileia Rhōmaiōn, " Kingdom of the Romans " ) or simply Rhōmania. The term byzantine was invented by modern historians.

    Real Name: Basileía tōn Rhomaíōn, Vasilía Roméon, Imperium Romanum, Romania. Bye.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx thank you for the Information my friend :)

  • @xTribunusMilitumx whoa were did u find those buttons on your key board

  • @xTribunusMilitumx lol romeo & juliet XD

  • The line of roman emperors in the Eastern Roman Empire continued unbroken until the fall of Constantinople in 1453 under Constantine XI Palaiologos. Historians have customarily treated the state of these later Eastern emperors under the name "Byzantine Empire", though Byzantine is not a term that the Byzantines ever used to describe themselves. The Empire preserved Roman culture but due to the increasing predominance of the Greek language (after 610)

  • Your right! the term Byzantine was used by historians to divide the Roman Empire from the Ancient and Medieval time frames. It also is used as a marker for the cultural differences between the two that eventually arose after the west was overrun and fell in to the Dark Ages.

  • The byzantine empire briefly came to a end when the crusaders captured it in 13th century.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx

    As I understood it the reason why they called it the Byzantine Empire refering to Constantinople was related to the original name of the city Byzantium later renamed.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx We've named them the Byzantines because Constantinople was built on the site of the old city of Byzantium, and was still called that at the time. Up until 1453, the armies of Constantinople fought 'for the Senate and the People of Rome'

  • @englishfrenchgerman

    Yes. Is true.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx That is correct. The Historians somehow tend to write other peoples glory and history to the Greeks. So they come with terms like Hellenism and Byzantium. Strange.

  • @nitroflesh

    It is not possible to effectually distinguish between the later empire in Rome and the Byzantine empire centered around Constantinople. For the Byzantines were the Roman Empire, not simply a continuation of it in the East.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx Yes the Byzantines called themselves Romaio which means roman but that the thing romaio is a greek version of the latin word roman since 70% or more of the byzantines were greek and they spoke greek and they called their emporers basilius augustus basilios meaning king in greek and they had a mostly greek culture and most of the emporers were of greek origin despite wherever they were born and whichever parts of the empire they were born in.

  • @PatrickHanibal It is not possible to effectually distinguish between the later empire in Rome and the Byzantine empire centered around Constantinople. For the Byzantines were the Roman Empire, not simply a continuation of it in the East. The capital city, Constantinople, had been founded as the capital of Rome by the Emperor Constantine, but a uniquely Greek or Byzantine character to the Roman Empire can be distinguished as early as Diocletian.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx Emperor Heraclios said once and i quote "I want to create army of greeks not of mercenaries/foreigners' since a third of justinians army was made of allies/feoderati. Heraclios also changed official language from latin to greek although greek had been language of choice for most of populace right through roman times since time the greeks in this area of empire were ruling themselves, and also byzantines had form of warfare closer to greeks than romans.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx They had heavy cavalry called cataphractos or cataphracts in english and heavy pike or spear armed infantry and also many archers and any given army would be made up of a more or less even ammount of archers, heavy infantry and heavy cavalry so a third each and different other units that were needed were added at leasure like light scout cavalry or javilan armed scout infantry. The romans had mostly heavy infantry with some support units.

  • @xTribunusMilitumx And an ancient eporite or macedonian or succesor state army would be made up of similar troops only in different ammounts so you can see the similarities between the greeks and byzantines.

  • In Bizantium they spoke greek because in the eastern Roman Empire that was the official language!!!

    Greece did not even exhist!!!

    It was like now at days that english is the official language.

    Bizantium was tha capital of the eastern Roman Empire.

    In the western Roman Empire they spoke Latin.

    Do not listen to the greeks!!

    They just want to believe that they are this and they were that....

    They were dominated,like any other culture by the MIGHTY ROMANS!!!!

  • @Barbarian337 Ok...how did Greece not exist? History books and maps can tell you that Greece did infact exist. And you even said your self in your comment that they were dominated. That is true, but you said yourself that they existed.

  • OK my friend!

    DO u believe I see it wrong, about to what presend country roman and byzantine empire belong?

    I love history also and i would like to learn ajerbaijan's history! Thank u very much!

  • Roman Empire to Italy and Byzantine empire to Greece.

  • very nice and simply smart. I didn't learn as much in 3 years at school as i have learned in 1 minute watching this vid;)

  • That pretty much sums it up......

  • now... an archaiologist speaks.... when byzantioum created the other peoplewho live in greece left and go to italy...(vlahs romans,and more)in the today greece lived only greeks....in the other empire of course there were othen nations... but in greece lived only greeks. when byzantioum started to change his name and call the nation greece, ottomans make war with them, and stoped that. but in 1400 and after, the byzantioum's philosophers said that they must change the name and call it greece.

  • That is absolutly not thrue, even today in Greece you can fiend albanians, vlachs, slavic macedonians, pomaks and turks.

  • who are y? have you got any education? i am from greece and the albanians had come to greece the last 20 years because they look for a better a life. the slav macedonians are FYROM and the turks live in evros(4% of evros population) vlachs lived in roman empire. they were the kinds of romans who come in greece and made children with the greek women. but when the half empire called Byzantioum they go to italy. you will not learn me history.... stay in romania and speak for yours history....

  • Are you real or you are just a internet troll? I was in Greece many times, i have greek friends. You can fiend in Greece places with 80%-90% albanian majority (on some islands in Saronic bay). It seam to me that you live on other planet and you don`t know nothing about the history and reality of your country.

  • yes albanians yes... there are very much...but it is not means that byzantioum is not greek... they come here in 1993...byzantioum has no connection with these people... there are 1.500.000 albanians...but they keep their own civil....what is it means with byzantioum????

  • I was talcking about arvanites not about recent imigrants. Has nothing to do with the Roman Empire (this is the real name, not Byzantioum) but this discutions started becouse you sayed that Greece is a pure country without minorityes, wich is not true.

  • i thought it began in 753 BC

  • @1967tuncay creation believed of rome as a kingdom is 753 bc, 510 is when rome become a republic.

  • it did but it was only the size of the 7 hills of Rome and even when it did conquer land, it was too small to be shown on the map until they conquered enough to show it

  • omg didnt rome stay in its hme land and turned into wats now italy!

  • GREECE will always be there .Until the end of humanity....Hail to Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Romans dominated the stinking Greeks for thousands of years .Learn you ignorant.

  • yes today... the other nations will learn to the greeks that byzantioum is roman.... ok.... for this i study greek archaiology.... and you will tell my that byzantioum is not greek.... hahah

  • its turkish

  • its not Greek, its Romans, Greeks, Christians, and some others

  • Comment removed

  • You cant fuck my mother, all Greeks are gay

    Dumbass

  • are you stupid r u telling me that the greeks destroyed the romans that the greeks formed byzantine lol u are stupid.

  • another sweet touch from ottomans :P

  • Well kinda, it's roman but, don't be down. Roman history is Greek history, almost every aspect of roman life was influenced by greek culture. In reality the major difference between classical Greece and classical Rome are that the Roman's spoke latin and the greeks spoke greek (obviously) and you need look no further than their religion's. They are identical except the language, Zeus is IVPITER(Jupiter), Ares is MARS(Mars), and so on.

  • yes my friend!!! i am greekproud87(under your comment) tell to the fool people that greeks are not romans but greeks!!!

  • greeks are romans and that is that if u r not roman than u r turkish even the Albanians defeated the turks when did the greeks ever defeat the turks even on their independece they got from the albanians

  • I found out that Romans are not an ethnicity because they, like the greeks, are made up of different individuals like the Etrucans

  • why in byzantioum spoke greek? because they where romans?

  • @ShpetimSerani

    You are like your barbarian friend,

    A ....BARBARIAN yourself.

    Even the language you are talking you barbarian ...is Greek.

    Your ability of comunication was given to you by the Greeks.

    The limited ability of thinking and looking like a HUMAN was given to you by THE GREEKS.

    ITS LIMITED though because although it was gifted to you you never took advantage of this.

    YOU ARE AND YOU WILL REMAIN a subhuman, without intelelgece ....more then what a PLANT has

  • The Greeks fought off the turks in the 19th century!!!

  • Rome may be influenced by the Hellenic culture but Rome had their own culture far different than the Greeks, Greece faded into history after the Romans kicked their arses. not to mention Greece was again raped by the Ottomans later on. but Greece left a mark on History and helped shaped this world today so i guess Greece is pretty cool xD.

  • thats not roman. byzantioym is not rome. is Greece!!!

  • Byzantine history is roman history it was a greek fishing town called Byzantium but the romans conquered it and it became a roman town known to most modern people as Constantinople or "The city of Constantine" (after the emperor Constantine who founded it) but to people who lived there it was called NOVA ROMA or New Rome and was in fact the new capital of the roman empire

  • u r right so far

  • the Byzantines are eastern ROMANS, though they speak Greek because of the location, Rome wiped the smug face off those pompous Greeks long ago, along with a few successor Greeks Alexander left behind, The Hellenic world influenced Rome but ROMANS are never Greeks, the Greeks kicks ass with the Spartans and Macedon though xD

  • plasticnapoleon22 ... so what? "Byzantine" doesn't mean a thing. The "Byzantines" never used this term on them. Historians are divided about this issue, but I agree with using the Roman term. It's not their problem they managed to live for about 2000 years. Changing of the language was simply because the capital was now Constantinople. Christianity was just a religion. Chinese are still called chinese after all these years even they are now communists. "Byzantine" really doesn't mean a thing

  • the term byzantine was never used by them.... only Romans hence why I stress the Roman Empire dating from the foundation of Rome till 1453AD... although to be precise 1471AD

    the term byzantine only confuses the minds when in reality there was no such changing of names. The Empire changed it's official religion to christianity... doesn't mean that it should change it's name.

  • before the fall of the western empire, it should be referred to as the eastern empire, but after the west fell it adopted a very different character. and so to distinguish it from the western empire, which was significantly more roman in character, it should be referred to as the "byzantine empire" as sort of a place holder

  • it was hardly an empire anymore at the start of 104 to its downfall, it only was a true empire in its first 300 years of the byzantine empire, after that they constantly lost territory and became a small country

  • what has happened in 1204 ?

  • In 1204 the powerful merchant city state Venice more or less forced the western crusaders to besiege the schizmatic Constantinople instead of battling the saracens in the Holy Land.

  • SPQR

  • What is the dark green?

  • inherited land

  • After the conquest of Cosntantinopolis by the western crusaders in 1204, several successor states were established. Trebizond (modern Trabzon, Turkey) was the last of the byzantine states which surrendered to the ottomans in 1461.

  • The GREEK Byzantine empire was destroyed by Turks, NOT the Italian Roman empire.

  • wherent they armenian and greeks in power of byzantine empire, because i read somewhere that armenia had 25 byzantine kings, so the power must of been shared

  • much possible, my point is only that the Italians never suffered from the Turkish evilness, greeks unfortunately did.

  • Armenia was part of the of the Byzantine Empire...Byzantine Emperors were Greeks because of their names.

  • actually the names suggest that they are armenian since any surname finishing in ian is a armenian surname like justinian, julian, jovian, valentinian, gratian, marian,

  • Yes but all these names mean something to Greek.I'll show you a list of the Byazntine Emperors: Ηράκλειος Κώνστας Β' Κωνσταντίνος Δ΄ Ιουστινιανός Β' Λεόντιος Τιβέριος Ιουστινιανός Φιλιππίκος Αναστάσιος Β'. And many many more. I don't very well history but I think that they were using Greek language I don't see any ian. (correct me if i'm wrong)(no offence):)
  • and greeks did not kick turks out of there country because they where afraid that the turkish army would come to war

  • Oh please..This is stupid.

    Our Greeks that lived in Constantinoupole were swanks they were rich if they could live from time to time because they had the money even they could stop these terrorizing with their money,but no they just left.

    Your Turks that live in Greece are beggars even if we would started these things that you do they couldn't leave.

    And when you started the expelletions the Greek army was almost equal to the Turkish, so it isn't a reason we were afraid.

  • they did not left they where trowed in to the sea

    and the turks there where not real turks they where greeks that acepted the turkish ethnic like most of the people in those times that is on other reason why they did not leave my friend the only thing you can do is insulting the turks i know you have pain in your heart and on other thing it is called istanbul istanbul the greeks that where trowed in to the sea where trowed at istanbul in to the sea

  • Oh yea sure they accepted the turkish ethnic.

    LIke just the Armenians and all the people that lived there.You Turks didn't want to clear your country from immigrants.Oh sure I believe you.(sarcasm)

    And I'm sorry to tell you that again,but I really can't understand this comment,Sorry..WHo was throwed at the sea?

    Sorry,but I can't understand very well srry.

    I see you write that I insult Turks look at our messages and you'll who insults who.

    I'm just responding you.

    THE ROMAN EMPIRE HAS NO BORDERS!!!!

  • ironic

    Roman/Byzantine empire was destroyed

    by the ottaman empire but then all the way to world war one, the turkish

  • I don't why I reply to you....The first part needs some proper English.I'll just tell you that when the Greece was liberated we lost only one battle againist you and you didn't beat any French or English.And btw as you tell 'gay' greeks with out a reason,Greece is far better from you in history in civilization... and we don't kick out the Turks who live in Greece out of their homes as you did to the Greeks in Constantinopolis.

    One last thing Turkey=turkey.
