I'm Orthodox and really enjoyed this. Thanks Sargon.

[@TomorrowWeLive]

The décor is fairly minimalistic for an Orthodox church, quite lovely.

[@hamidiyealaylar1577]

This is the sort of Byzantine inspired architecture upon which Turkish- style mosques are based.

[@user-rh1jo1yy9e]

That's because the Turks stole from the Byzantines. Truly a cultural appropriation if I've ever seen one

[@winstonvontoast6163]

Sargon comes across like a fucking giant in these videos. I'm not christian but that church looks absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could be there.

[@winstonvontoast6163]

I've been to the Vatican and been inside St. Petersburg church, but I would love to visit more them in Italy and Greece. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@CandidaRosa889]

That really is gorgeous

[@spamwithrice]

Beautiful stuff Sargon thank ya

[@rometimed1382]

Are you doing mainland Greece as well? If you are by Thessaloniki try to get to Vergina. Epic tombs of Philip the 2nd.

[@JimRiven]

#Lindygon You going to be doing the foxtrot next? :D

[@AnatolyPotapov]

Did you get to drink the local wine called Vinsanto, especially the vin de liquer type? It's the best stuff I ever tasted.

[@drakegod84]

Do they still conduct mass on sunday?

[@quentinmyself]

Graphics are nice but the PNC don't react much...

[@kekistani1572]

One day you should visit The Alamo

[@awesomegamer31]

once again asking for a patreon page just for Ancient recitations! I'd like to hear what your response is to this at least!

[@BubskaLeDeux]

Agreed. Would fund.

[@awesomegamer31]

it's nice to see some support rather than an immense amount of pushback I got last time I brought this up! I would chip I'm maybe £10 a month for more content!

[@BubskaLeDeux]

Why would you get pushback for this? "Hey I'd like to give the guy who makes this money" "what a scumbag!" I really like Sargon's history stuff, but am not that invested in Anti-SJWness, so would like to fund specifically that.

[@awesomegamer31]

Yeah, some of the hardcore nutters picked up on my comment, calling me an SJW and all just because I don't watch the propaganda sort of content he does nowadays or whatever you might call it...

[@greenmeister18]

+1500lego best bet is to DM Carl on twitter. I think he would be happy to make more content, he loves history.

[@darthsoban1897]

I've only been to Athens in Greece, though Sicily is half-greek. The architecture is fantastic. So were the AnonOps / anarchist shirt shops lmao.

[@TheDistributist]

Vacay envy

[@dfddfdfdfdfdfdskyrim]

Has Sargon ever been to Serbia?

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

Wait, "metropolitan"? The whole Santorini island houses 15.000 people at the best of times. I guess they meant it by another meaning.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

Mario Revuelta No it does not.

[@Varstfoethr]

A 'Metropolitan Cathedral' in the Greek Orthodox Church is the seat of the 'Metropolitan', the religious leader of the community. It doesn't mean a 'metropolis' in the sense it's understood in Western Europe.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

Deukalion Awesome, thanks for the explanation.

[@Jim63071]

Έλληνας και συ; ;)

[@scrumpmonkey]

I'm sure I played this map in Overwatch...

[@KincadeCeltoSlav]

5:05 - Censor - ship! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAAAAAAA Beautiful place Sargon

[@mattpelzek3809]
