Along the same pattern I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's video "the rise and fall of the Hellenic civilization", especially as far as the rationalistic development is concerned

Point of order: Pythagoras was born 150 years BEFORE Plato! Perhaps you mean Solon (laws - 638BC), to Socrates (Philosophy - 470BC), via Pythagoras (Mathematics - 570BC), Aeschylus (Literature - 525BC), and Hippocrates, (Medicine - 460BC).

China was long ago - advanced in the work - with mathematics and the like. There were ancient ties of - India with Egypt and therefore links with Greece - in these fields. If one researches - ancient India - knowledge spheres - one will be truly amazed and grateful - to those seers. The Zero (all important concept) - arises out of the - being of Bharat. It was gifted - as so many of India's ideas - freely ..... Fare thee well.

However, we all have different perceptions on reality, and so different perceptions on the ultimate truth. The ultimate truth may exist - in fact it does exist - but how we see it and understand it when we see it is key. Being able to look beyond the veil of mundane reality and understand truth is part of the human condition. On a side note, you cannot really call Russian communism a parallel to Plato's republic because it was quickly distorted and twisted by Stalin, who dominated it and used the entire society for his own personal gain - in fact, he became a tyrant King instead. This tainted all of USSR society which came afterwards.

This documentary is old and disseminates outdated ideas. The theorem supposedly discovered by Pythagoras was recorded in Cuneiform writing on a clay tablet made 1000 years before that philosopher. We owe modernity more to the Babylonians than to the Greeks.

@GinaA_ScarabChronicles 6 ай бұрын

Very misleading... "Pythagorean" triples were found on Babylonian tablets and before that about 25,000 BC in the congo, the Ishango bone. It shows evidence of multiplication similar to the math found in Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Greeks were a great civilization but "everything's a remix" they borrowed from those before them.

@@Komdwy Borrowed many things. Can you prove all aspects of their civilization are independently developed without outside influence or cultural exchange? No, because almost all civilizations have borrowed from those before them, not just the Greeks. Also I didn't say Pythagoras based his work on Egyptians, although it's possible. I basically said he wasn't the first.

I agree Plato was a great man with great ideas and a profound philosophy, but man would have still made the same advancements regardless of his existence. No one man is responsible for all this video portrays. It is like saying only one man could ever come up with the idea of a wheel.
