  • @elisei00 speaks of the ancient Greeks and ancient Macedonians as they were two different peoples, this tale must end. Macedonians were Greeks, as the Thessalian were Greeks, like the Spartans were Greeks.

    everyone had the same language, same customs and the same Customs

  • As a professional sculptor I felt it my duty to go and see the Riace bronzes last year. What a lesson of humility, and what an enrichening experience. If you haven't seen them yet I would strongly advise you to go. Simply superbe.

  • Cant wait to crush some of my naive friends who dont believe in art and think its crap, while im learning art in school, they´re learning economy.. that tells a lot about what they think of Art i general.

  • although this seems so much more simple than what we learnt in school, man was at the centre of the universe for them (wasnt it ?) I forget what that was called

  • @ch3rryp3psi lol yeah !!!

  • @gorloro you are another centrist trying to distort facts. Iraq and the Levant is miles away from Indian sub continent, do you realize that ? plus Indians are Dravidian and Greeks and Sumerian are unrelated to each other.

  • hadlok man ko ana oi.. sculpture is amazing.

  • hey, does anybody have any idea how I can watch this documentary online for free?

  • omg brain blast

  • PAGANS ARE SUPERIOR !

    greek people i love you !

  • 4:37

    

  • Crete (Ancient Greeks) = Sumerian = Brahmas,

    are Whit INDIANs (Ancient Greek race).

    Big eye, Black hair, Indian feature.

    Ancient Greeks X Greeks. [you can figure that out.]
