Once again kudos to the game makers for the quality of their work, and to you for presenting this with scientific background. All the books, all the television programs about the ancient world just paint a pale, drab shadow of this. I have to wonder what it was like in other cities - was it similar, did it have local flavor, was it less impressive (or more)? About the reference to India, I don't recall if it was Michael Wood or Bettany Hughes but one of them said that if you want to know what life in ancient cities looked like then some places in India can give you a good facsimile of that.

[@marcowen1506]

There was very likely local variation: architecture and culture reflect the climate and materials available. A Greek living on the Black Sea or in the mountains would have had a different house and decorations to an Athenian or Cretan. As an example from later in the ancient world, Pompeii was noted for its liberal use of red paint on houses - something that tourists talked about at the time.

[@WasFakestCenturyAesthetics]

Life in the Indo-Greek Kingdom, modern Pakistan, 200 BC: "There is in the country of the Yonakas a great centre of trade, a city that is called Sâgala, situated in a delightful country well watered and hilly, abounding in parks and gardens and groves and lakes and tanks, a paradise of rivers and mountains and woods. Wise architects have laid it out, and its people know of no oppression, since all their enemies and adversaries have been put down. Brave is its defence, with many and various strong towers and ramparts, with superb gates and entrance archways; and with the royal citadel in its midst, white walled and deeply moated. Well laid out are its streets, squares, cross roads, and market places. Well displayed are the innumerable sorts of costly merchandise with which its shops are filled. It is richly adorned with hundreds of alms-halls of various kinds; and splendid with hundreds of thousands of magnificent mansions, which rise aloft like the mountain peaks of the Himalayas. Its streets are filled with elephants, horses, carriages, and foot-passengers, frequented by groups of handsome men and beautiful women, and crowded by men of all sorts and conditions, Brahmans, nobles, artificers, and servants. They resound with cries of welcome to the teachers of every creed, and the city is the resort of the leading men of each of the differing sects. Shops are there for the sale of Benares muslin, of Kotumbara stuffs, and of other cloths of various kinds; and sweet odours are exhaled from the bazaars, where all sorts of flowers and perfumes are tastefully set out. Jewels are there in plenty, such as men's hearts desire, and guilds of traders in all sorts of finery display their goods in the bazaars that face all quarters of the sky. So full is the city of money, and of gold and silver ware, of copper and stone ware, that it is a very mine of dazzling treasures. And there is laid up there much store of property and corn and things of value in warehouses-foods and drinks of every sort, syrups and sweetmeats of every kind. In wealth it rivals Uttara-kuru, and in glory it is as Âlakamandâ, the city of the gods."

LOVE this tour. Thank you so much for presenting this to us! Small request on behalf of the folks with motion sickness (like me): please try hard to avoid shaking the camera around when you're trying to draw attention to something in front of you. (eg: a doorway, the bread on the table, the loom, etc) It makes some of us rather woozy. I know you're probably accustomed to encircling something with a cursor to draw the viewer's attention but since there's no cursor present ... well, you're just kind of giving us a jostle.

[@ericspencer8093]

The House of Pericles in AC Odyssey is not a good, or authentic representation of a home in Ancient Athens. First no home, however rich, would have had open yard space as real estate in a walled city was at a premium, and the Greeks just didn't build urban dwellings this way (with yards and lawns). Secondly, the interior rooms are way, way too large here. The only spacious areas of a Greek house were the courtyard and dining hall; the rest of the rooms were small and cramped. Lastly, which Invicta does mention in the video, this house has far too many windows, and they're far too large for a true Athenian home. In an urban environment where houses were built right up against neighboring homes, and back to back, and where the front door opened directly into the street without a yard to buffer it; windows were tiny and set high near the ceiling for letting in a little sunlight and ventilation, not for looking out. Greek homes looked inward to the courtyard, not outward to the street.

[@xenotypos]

I'm also a bit puzzled about what he's saying about glass windows. Sure glass did exist during antiquity, but: see-through glass window ? hmm. I believe it became common only during the renaissance, in western europe.

[@matthewhemmings2464]

Decus This guy had a courtyard surrounding his house. He must have been the wealthiest person in Athens. I mean, population density of ancient cities were in the tens of thousands per sq km. Living there for anyone but the extremely wealthy must have been hell!!!

[@matthewhemmings2464]

Bitch Probably, I’m far from an expert on the subject, and urban history of Europe and the near east like in Mesopotamia is long and varied. But from my understanding, most people living in cities were the wealthy citizens and the people that depended on them for patronage, employment or support. Such as that there were no middle class like we understand it. The least wealthy of the citizens were still wealthy, and afforded their luxuries by living in big households with multiple families, like clans. Such way that a middle class didn’t really exist. There were the slaves, and the citizens, and then a few others that still inhabited crowded households with little to no comfort.

10:54 We see carrots on the table there but... The first evidence of carrot being cultivated as a food crop was in the Iranian Plateau and Persia in the 10th century AD !! Orange roots appeared in Spain and Germany in the 15th or 16th century!

Wow!! I love your tour guides of ancient Greece, I must say. I don't know if you've ever been there, but I noticed that the courtyard looks a lot like the 'cafe' area of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Striking similarity. Check it out, they have a website that displays some photos. Sort of a square shaped room, with a garden in the center (no roof above it) and tables all around it. They must have based their architectural basis from a Athenian mansion I suppose.

@@RomanCourier not sure what you're saying is a myth here. Carrots in their natural form come mostly purple with some white and yellow ones here and there. The orange ones didn't become widespread until the 17th century with some human intervention.

@@RomanCourier Even the article you mention states "The first documented colors for domesticated carrot root were yellow and purple in Central Asia approximately 1,100 years ago with orange carrots not reliably reported until the sixteenth century in Europe."

The interiors of the roman houses, especially by the end of the republic, were much more lavish than the greeks a few centuries before.

Hi, it would be great if you made a tour trough Lavrion (or Laurion as it was pronounced by the french) to see where all the wealth came from. . It would be nice if you go into deatails on the slave system back in the day. For example: Near the mines, or even directly next to it you also have the ancient theatre of Thorikos, which is one of the oldest in greece. It hat seats for over 5000 people, while only some several hundred free citizens lived there. So also the slaves had been allowed into that theatre. Slavery back than is still slavery, but should not be confused for the system in the USA in the 19th century, as there are differences

Brilliant work but why is the geography around the city fucked up? Athens was never as close to the sea as in 0:15-0:29 for example, the seaside looks nothing like that on that side of the Acropolis (is that supposed to be Salamina or Aigina across the water?) and there's no hill so close to it... All that is pretty evident just by looking at any picture of the landscape around Athens. The landscape has changed since ancient times but not like that! Also they forgot to depict the ancient rivers and streams that do not exist or are covered nowadays.

Would it be possible to focus on arts and culture for a future video?
