    There never were ancient Greeks in Balcan, but the Pelasgians, ancestors of Albanians. Helens tribe came late and was fascinated by the Pelasgians' culture. (wine and olive too) Zeus was a Pelasgian, not a Helen. The Iliad and Odyssey were oral poems of Pelasgians. The oracle of Zeus, Dodona of Epirus, were the temple of Pelasgians. After Illyad, the language of Gods was Gheg, North Albanian Dialect. (Herodotus)

    • @historicaladventurevideos
      @historicaladventurevideos Před 6 dny

      I completely understand. Finding the perfect music volume for each video is a challenge I face in every single video. Even when I think I've got it right, opinions still vary. Some find it too loud, while others find it so soft that they can't really hear it. There were people that asked me to remove the music completely from my videos but I conducted a poll 2-3 years ago and the vast majority actually preferred videos with music. I'm sorry that the sound felt overwhelming to you in this video. I hope you'll find the volume just right in the other ones.

As for the accent, it is just my attempt to imitate a British accent as this is the one I am most familiar with. On my newest videos I also post the sources in the description.

      As I mentioned in replies to other comments addressing the baby carrots, most of the photos depicting ancient Roman foods in this video are from a project in Germany where they cooked recipes from Apicius' book, 'De Re Coquinaria.' I do not know why they used baby carrots for a meal, but I am still extremely grateful to them. If not for that project, this video would have very poor imagery due to the lack of commercial-free photos concerning Roman food.
