I have to say something for this vid. Well first of all Argos is a Greek city that exists even now. Secondly Argos history didn't end with the sack of the Goths it continues even to this day. Nice vid through

[@saidtoshimaru1832]

Sparta might have the most fearsome warriors, but Argos has the most fearsome brick-throwing old ladies.

[@gododoof]

I find it hilarious how Persia thought it was smart by playing the Greeks against each other, but all they did was fund the theater or war which would spread to conquer their empire when Alexander came around. Phillip of Macedon even learned strategy from Epaminondas during his childhood in Thebes.

I didn't know the shop had such a long history

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Hahaha that took me a second!

[@kenshiro3321]

I'm loving these videos of all these lesser known Greek city-states 🇬🇷. Athens and Sparta hog all the attention!

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Thankyou!

[@andremattsson6270]

This is mainly due to the fact that there are no history records to speak of on other city states

[@fireblade2681]

Argos was founded around 4900bc. It's amazing that there's almost no history for the first 4000 years of it's existence.

[@johnisaiah985]

This video is amazing And maybe the most entertaining history Channel

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

thankyou!

[@mikloshoffer282]

Actually, The Battle of Mantinea (418 BC) was won by Sparta and not by Argos.

Your welcome history in my opinion is something that should be cherrished

Correction, Pyrrhus was hit in the head by a roof tile, which gave the old lady's son an opportunity to cut of his head

Do a video on kingdom of Bactria and indo greeks

[@Armorius2199]

Why do the Argives have the Vergina Sun on their shields??? Care to elaborate???

[@JenniferM13]

The Vergina Sun is best known now as the symbol of the Macedonian royal dynasty called the Argeads. The dynasty itself orginated in Argos, so it's likely that the symbol did too.

[@apostolispouliakis7401]

The royal house of Macedonia was originally from Argos

[@lianko2000]

The Vergina sun is ancient Greek symbol originating way back in history. Every Greek could use it.

[@Lucifer_Morningstar_F4LL1N1]

According to Herodotus The Macedonians were descended from Argos. Aslo the symbol was a common one in the Greek world it's first appearance was hundreds of years before the Macedonian kingdom. The sun symbolizes the gods of Olympus and some elements. It evolved over the years and it changed shape by a bit

[@Newtownabbeyist208]

I spent about 15 minutes in Argos, just to wait for my delivery 😂

[@markrodger276]

Nice animation, however Argos is shown in the wrong location on the map

[@lmaozedong2259]

Nice simple animation good info, need to upgrade mic tho should be nr 1 priority. Gl on yt keep it up

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

Thanks! I actually have a whole recording studio, been going through the microphones I have and trying out the easiest to use ones. I normally use a Condenser specifically an AKG c414, however, that requires phantom power, and my audio interface isn't the most portable as its meant for recording entire bands, and its rather permanently installed, meaning that trying to get it out during this lockdown stuff is a bit of a pain. Basically, I'm experimenting with what I have available in the house at the mo lol.

[@justicehonorie]

In the beginning was the Bunsen Aries Fire, I put myself first.

[@garretphegley8796]

I hate to add to your huge workload, but Arcadia is rather interesting. Maybe you could do a video about it later.

Yep, Cassander was a real piece of work, he dispused Alex the Great, destroyed his monuments, killed his moma, waifu and sean. Real A-hole!!

The Battle of Mantinea in 418 BC was actually a victory for the Spartans! A quite tough brawl, but yes, Argos and it´s Allies were defeated then.

[@GreeceExplored]

i learned that Argos was the spartan city of warriors while Spartans learned to dance ... srsly its not a pun just saying . Spartan victories could be for other reasons . the population is sparta could have been larger the sole fact that running a military state will eventually put your pop. to decline . etc etc .

[@TheLacedaemonian]

Sparta WON the Battle of Mantinea on 418 BC in reality, Argos democratic government was removed after this battle.

[@MRFlackAttack1]

I prefer your older intro.

[@ChargeCity]

Macedonia is Greece >:(

[@Huy-G-Le]

This video is highly bias. It's was the Roman that sacks all the major Greek cities, stole most of their wealth, but more than that, their advances tooling of the times, enslaves most teachers and engineers and making sures that the Greek states remains dependences on Rome. By the time, there were a East and West Roman empire, all the major Greek cities already fell on exceptionally hard times, the near lack of all resources, because the Roman Elite, as minors of a population there were, they own all the best farms lands and minerals mines in Greeks ever since Rome conquerors Macedon and destroys the Greek resistance, so when the "goth" and "slavic" shows up, they merely fought in a three way war, between the Roman Greek troops that are paid by the Roman Oligarch, and they were already fighting the local Greeks serfs, slaves and peasant. The result of that was the re-nationalizes of a sizeable amount of farms lands and mineral mines into the hands of the Eastern Roman state, lead by Roman Greek descendant Oligarchs, whom intergrades the populations of goth, slavic, greek, italians into their subjects, and slowly enter the era of serf, some small peasant, even fewer small independence farmers, and feudal king, aristocracy, monarchy's and nobility.

Sure thing!

[@dale6947]

Argos was not destroyed by the Visigoths, I think the currant inhabitants would disagree that its history ended in 395 AD.

[@WarAndFame]

Yeah it was my understanding that argos is the longest and oldest continually inhabited city of europe.

[@goughrmp]

What happened to Argos? They created a mail order catalogue for all of your shopping needs.

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

lol :D

[@WarAndFame]

“This bringing the history of the city to an end”. I had read that argos was the first and/or oldest continually inhabited city in europe? If thats true what does it mean that its history came to an end?

[@maesmydog6691]

It is always a sign of the strenght of an (ancient) great power to overcome and defeat powerful rivals - like Argos, Athens, Carthage or Persia.

[@husted5488]

Why did the Goths destroy everything? So sad that the Goths couldn't keep to themselves and had to migrate.

[@AncientHistoryGuy]

People kept on refusing to pay them lol! The gothic answer seems to be well if you don't pay then I guess we will raid !

[@douglasroussey852]

The Goths themselves were invaded . They were forced to migrate or be assimilated by the Huns .
