Would have been extremely unwieldly.

@@FlorinSutu The ones shown in the video are just bi-reme tho.

This video was produced as part of the REACH Triremes Inquiry Unit for in-classroom use by educators. You can learn more about REACH and our lesson plans by clicking the link in the video description.

The Persians didn't have a Navy.it was made from Phonician ,Ionian Greek, Agean sea Greek ships and some other contingents.

There are OSint footage of artillery shelling, missile strike etc from the perspective of the receiving side. Those are horrifying.

Imagine combining a trireme with a gatling and greek fire...

The Greek ships scored an unequivocal victory which changed naval warfare, the balance of power, and human society. Drones have not.

And then you wake up.

Actually it was more like modern day Greece defeats the US, because back in those days the Persian empire was THE only superpower of the world.

The worst analogy ive heard ukraine in slavic means frontier or border area . It didnt exist before lenin hence lenins creation and ukraine is in the same situatuoon as the us was in the last days of saigon. The kursk adventure has cost them 36000 dead including their best brigades and once the ukrainians used to roast and eat pigs and chikens , but in kursk and elsewhere the pigs and chickens are eating the scorched dead bodies of ukrainians see the videos if you like..

WTAF are you talking about? Russia has more and better trained drone teams and better drones. Ukraine tried to surrender 7 days in but a 41 country coalition threw massive amounts of money, arms, satellite surveillance and actual boots on the ground at Russian forces. At one time Ukrainian forces outnumbered Russians by 10:1 and they still couldn't win. Best that you never comment again.

lol..!!! Kalimera from Kalamata

But the politicians that sell off the government say the government is bad

And what about car mechanics, delivery drivers, all those working to feed us, shop assistants, truck drivers, construction workers, factory workers? Without them the state would be unthinkable.

No, bad idea. In Western democracies eg USA, Canada, Australia, only about 10 to 14 % work in such fields. You can't have democracy if you exclude 85 to 90% of the population. A continual problem in countries such as Australia is that its politicians do often come from the unions and public service. They tend to dream up laws in which they mean well, but affect private industry in adverse ways - because they don't understand it. Real estate is very expensive in Australia. Pretty much all politicians know that and realize it is a problem, making it hard for people and distorting the economy, but they can't figure out how to fix it, because none of them have worked in real estate or finance. Doctors make the worst managers. Making rational decisions about scarce resources and people management is just not what they are trained to do.

​@@keithammleter3824True enough in modern times. One of the differences in the Athenian system though was that the assembly usually conceded to the advice or leadership of someone in that field. For example, if the city embarked on a building project actual builders would speak or advise in front of all the citizens. Aristotle pointed out the flaws and even stated that direct democracy just kind of falls apart when a population reaches around 10,000 or so. That's not the exact number, he actually had a comically exact number but it's somewhere around that.

Bad bad idea. Robert Heinlein Movie Starship Troopers concept. The military is absolutely Fascist run to be an effective tool. But, it's only a necessary tool. Sparta was a military fascist society. Either you're a mere cog brutally trained or an abused slave. Anyone really interested?

Quite similar to the Battle of Myeongnyang: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Myeongnyang

"Greek fire", so-called, wasn't invented until around 670 AD, and it wasn't invented by a Greek but by an Egyptian Israelite. He sold it to the Byzantines, who were Greek, and they used it against the Arabs.

Believe that came later though its such a mystery lost to history its hard to know for sure. Curious if someone has an early date reference. My recall is to the siege of Byzantium but it was talked about as if it was already a thing.

This was long before the advent of Greek fire, which was used to great effect in the Middle Ages.

'Democracy' was for an elite. The slaves weren't allowed to vote.

Someone wants a Persian King instead ^_^

And you think persion slave system was better?

It was still an improvement over all other forms of government - and they'd experimented with them all.

And there always have to be some miserable old fool who needs the spotlight of the social media that bad, that he has to comment the most outrageously retarded opinion since the appearance of Australopithecus Afarensis to gain attention. Well done, that would be you.

When why are images readily available of the Olympias trireme underway with three rows of oars between 1987 and 2017?

There is a Bill Of Materials (BOM) for a trireme from antiquity. Also, the slipways for the trireme repairs / construction at Zea harbor (next to Piraeus) still exist and the size / weight of the ship can be estimated.

Voltaire in his book study of philodophy clarifies upon the civilization of ancient Greeks but also upon the influence of Phinicians the People of the Ship that explored all the world for merchantise reasons.Now days the civilization has nothing to do with Standards of that past.Of course creation at that ancient time needed high civilised Democracy States .

I've always thought that this makes more sense. If a quinqerime had five banks of oars going by accepted interpretation, the upper row of oars would be too long to be manageable. The number of rowers per oar is more logical.
