1991. I was living in northern Greece. I often took the bus from Orestiada to Alexandroupolis on the coast. The two lane highway sort of went around a bend where an arched wall was reputed to have been built by Trajan when he marched up the Evros Valley to defeat the Dacians in Romania. This campaign is celebrated on Trajan’s Column. It was over a small steep sided ravine where there was at least in 1991 a deep kind of whirlpool at the bottom. I once tried to climb down the slope to the whirlpool then chickened out and changed my mind. The city of Alexandroupolis wanted to widen the highway……..I don’t have to tell you the rest of the story.

I bet in 30 years honor killing will be as backwards as lobotomy is seen today for Islamic youth. Indians use to burn widows until the British made them realize how backwards that is. A lot of people want to shake their fists in the air for the death of religion causing the low birth rates but people don't realize or are unwilling to admit that people had so many children in the first place because they were subsistence farmers. You had lots of kids and sent them to work in the fields, coal mines or factories. Japanese rural farming villages on top of mountains are dying off because those farming homseteads are completely obsolete to mechanized farming technology. A single American rice farm can have higher outpouts than several rural Japanese farming villages put together. Thousands of individual laborers replaced with a few tractors & other equipment. It's getting to the point that a corporation can remotely farm with technology such as robotics to basically run several towns from a central location. Eventually technology such as diesel tractors will be replaced with more reliable battery powered tractors which will make that scenario more of a reality. Farmers could adopt technology such as robotic milking parlors that make the cows happy & increase milk production but that's a multi million dollar investment right now, eventually the price will come down where it's more worth while to have the robotic technology than to employ migrant farm labor. Cows like the robots because they can waltz into a building to get milked when ever they feel like it.

A not so lost Roman building is the Rotunda in Thessaloniki (Salonica for you). I learned the original and authentic name of the city as /thes-SAL-oh-nee-kee/. It was a gift by Alexander to his sister Thessaly for her wedding similar to cities you may have got as gifts for your wedding. The Rotunda is not a ruin. It’s a round building ,hence the name, that is intact and still being used today. At a distance you might think it’s a modern building at least in the last 100 years. I think it’s three storeys with arched Windows around each level. Up close you see it’s made of concrete and iron bars have been placed in ground level windows. It’s been a long time and I don’t remember in detail. There seem to be offices in there. Not far away is a Roman triumphal arch covered with bas reliefs of Roman figures in military clothing ,tunics and breastplates and all. It’s just standing beside a busy city street fairly unnoticed. It’s always been there or at least 2000 years. What is important is McDonald’s is across the street.

At the time of the foundation of Rome. When Lupa with the suckling Romulus & Remus were brought in as their reason to form Rome. Who were the originators of Rome. Were the Phoenician really there? Who were the boat people? Who were the outsider influencers, if any? Or was it the Lati of Latina (the forbearers of the Latin language, the vulgar Latin before the official Roman state Latin) who moved northward to found a new city to escape the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Being around the seven hills of the Palatine valley. Who were the seven tribes of Rome? Why was there runic scripts in the cave wall near Rome? Why did they change Gods from Lupa to Mars to Querino (root word for Oak tree, since speer staves were made of oak wood), to Apollo, to Jupiter, and lastly to Venus with Hercules sprinkled in here and there. The first four Gods all had a common thing, being adept at 'war'. Except Jupiter and Venus. Romans believed that peace only came with war, but invoking Mars for war was never a first choice but jovial Jupiter was preferred as first choice with the speer ritual by the priest. The speer was their sacred image at this time. Why was the ship rudder an important symbol? And how and what way, ritual wise, was the rudder used to encourage a good direction in life?

Doctor Ryan, I appreciated seeing you in the introduction. Your historical knowledge is impressive, and I LOVE your programs! I hope it won't hurt your feelings if I say your speaking pattern, consisting of pauses separating rushes of hurried words is often difficult for me to understand. I don't wish to miss any part of your excellent programs. Would it be possible for you to slow down? Many, many thanks.

I would very much like a video covering the “automated theaters” of the ancient world

6:56 Justinian’s outfit looks like something I’d wear out on a Friday night. Cropped top, skirt, ankle boots, and a fabulous hat. Lmao

I got really excited, I thought that the Pyramid of Romulus was his actual tomb. What a shame. The Middle Ages really just hated bronze structures, it seems.

@toldinstone Following your asking for suggestions, I have some: a video about roman aquaducts in general, or one specifically about the siphon of Aspendos? Or about the roman roads? Or their fortifications (anywhere)? A video about roman concrete?

How about a video about the many steps and columns around Socrates’s home that Bill and Ted found to be so tranquil?

Mr Garrett it would be amazing if you could make a video about what happened to all the Greek libraries during the 4rt 5th and 6th century and how they got destroyed !
