This was captured from AC Odyssey. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This video is beautiful! However, there are too many purples and blues used in common areas. Those dyes were too expensive to be used in common areas. Browns and greens were most common with yellows, oranges, and reds used to brighten public markets and temples. Thank You.
I was thinking that too. Especially when I saw that almost completely blue sail. Whoever owned that boat must've been pretty wealthy.
@@rrondon3280 it was supposed to be an athenian military ship.
Also that purple area is where the olympic games were set
Regarding blue dye, perhaps you are correct. Personally I though there was not nearly enough blue in most general scenes - there was not one instance of clear green vegetation anywhere - that was all mostly yellow. Remember, leaf green consists of blue+yellow. It was very interesting nevertheless. Considerable research must have gone into it.
yeah that was my first thought too.
All statues were painted lifelike. They were not left bare stone.
T II Well, they depicted what the local people looked like or what they imagined their Gods looked like. Dark skin can come from genetics or from a sun tan.
Alan Crandall
True. They weren’t really white, but they certainly weren’t black either. They were Southern Europeans, or basically olive skinned.
So, still “white” but a tanner shade due to genetics.
(TL;DR, the Greeks were white but were often more tanned than most of their more northern counterparts, given the region they were close too, and peoples that they were living near mixing with them.)
@@tii2015 You are so wrong it's actually amusing.
@@thalmoragent9344 The ancient Greeks were not the 'southern Europeans' of today. Their genetic inheritance was closer to that of the Celts or the Gauls. Just read Homer, or any classical Greek writer (which I gather most of the people commenting here have never done). There's plenty of references to blond hair and blue eyes, red hair, white skin etc. Their gods too - Aphrodite had blond hair, Athena white skin and grey eyes, and it goes on. 'Golden' Achilles. Greece was later conquered and occupied by the Turks. That is where the darker skin - olive skin - comes from by and large. But then again you always get these black Americans commenting here who want to have the entire ancient world re-imagined as African.
@@thalmoragent9344 bull. Romans and greeks looked lcoser to celts with lots of them having red or blind hair and light eyes
The colour purple was too expensive to be made into carpets and drapes.
Only a specific purple dye was. Not every purple. You can get purple by mixing blue and red, both of which had cheap dyes.
Marco Martins well no, not exactly. In a lot of cases mixing natural dyes won’t get you the desired color. That’s why mauve was such a big deal. ALL purple was expensive before mauve. With mixing It would be apt to come out brown-ish. The temples may have been rich enough to afford purple but idk honestly
Same price as gold or brown (in an animation). 😉
Hexaplex Trunculus
@@marcomartins3563 Few countries have purple on their flag just because it was too expensive
love Greece and Greeks from Egypt 🇪🇬❤🇬🇷
Yeyyy. Love Egypt too frome Greece 🇬🇷💙 ❤🇪🇬
Right back at you friend 😉
I love greece and egypt! I hope to visit both countries someday
The statues of Ancient Greece were painted bright colors.
You're absolutely right - and the special statues of the gods inside the temples were often covered in a layer of tinted beeswax with individual human hairs inserted.
Very spot on ! There are plenty of micro left overs in the pores of the marble as proof. Also, the archaeologist working on the Temple of Athena Nike on the Acropolis of Athens also discovered the temple was painted with various bright colors and patterns.
@@cerberus6654 so they had hairy chests like actual Greeks?
@Rishee Sreenivasan are you kidding?
@@13tuyuti Today's "Greeks" are not the same as those of Ancient Greece.
Man ancient Greece looked too good for its time,in fact it's even better looking than some modern cities
Dan Lukute - No competition; modern cities are abysmally ugly.
Sad but true
*all modern cities
blowing trees - One can destroy the art and architecture but not the ideology of Greece. Hellenism is far more virulent a strain than any old pandemic; once bitten, forever smitten...

So proud of my ancestors... 👏🇬🇷
Really beautiful video thank you !!
These are AWESOME! I would love to see one of Babylon, or any of the Mesopotamian / Sumerian city states.
western europe pre-greece.
Tang and Song dynasty china
Old baghdad
Aztec empire
They haven't made games of those yet. Next game is Brittan and Norway during the Viking age
didn't know ancient greece were fans of celtic music....
I donno how much I can thank you. I wanted to sound like this guitar music, yet didn't what to search for(until now:-) Thx a lot!
This was a couple of years before the Greece punk rock scene.
Ya’ know, it’s the Little Dublin neighborhood of Athens… 😆
Of course they were - at that time Celts lived across Europe - from Turkey well into Hibernia ! :)
Greeks invented these organs,and then they were used by celts
Yes ofcourse there are some mistakes in the colours or on the statues, but as a greek i approve this video. Really well made. Thank you 🙏🏻
a tad too modest, don't you think? less clothes, more skin^^
It's from a video game so not much to thank him for, just the video😅
what wrong with the colours care to elaborate
do a dna test you will find out you're a turk
This is classical Greece. Would be nice to see one of Mycenaean Greece
They can't show that due to them not actually being the ones who created it.
it would be nice to seee a reconstruction of the minoan civilizations knossos on crete tooo!
@@vanishaway who did?
Interesting, but I believe a bit idealized.
Yes no slaves, cow dung or animal carcuses
I want to see Rome next
Its a game in the end
game worlds bore me: every 100 meters and you reach any village or city... real world distances are never portrayed...
@@VRnamek 👁️👁️
Play Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It's literally like walking around ancient Greece.
I just finished ...can’t wait for Valhalla 🙌
@@klarissak I hope they have Discovery Mode for Valhalla too. Probably not on initial release like a few months after. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yep you just have to put up with the lack of atmosphere, terrible story, terrible acting and ridiculous grinding. Valhalla will be better tho
This video is the game.
Just without the insight into everyday life of people. It would be dope
I have always preferred Greece over Rome, cant really explain it.
Rome was very influenced by Greece - their laws and democracy, gods (changed the names into Latin versions), style of dress and architecture. Rome arose as Greece was declining in power, but they got along quite well.
Greeks lived in Italy, especially in the south and left much of their influence there.
Because Greece is most of Roman culture in purer form. I mean, it's not an original observation, but Gladiator fights versus olympic games. Roman statues that have to lean on a club or the long stone robes versus greek one's that are calculated out to balance on one leg or whatnot.
Learned men in Rome got Greek education.
Preferring Greeks over Romans means you prefer higher culture over a larger empire.
And yes, I am biased :P
@jim doe I wonder how much more obvious I could have made a cheeky exaggeration...
Same
@jim doe - not they did not. They had to side with The Aetolian League of mainly central and southern Greek states to fight against the Macedonian League of mainly northern Greek states, who dominated the Greek states. Had the Greeks, the Aetolian and Macedonian Leagues sided together, Rome would have been destroyed as a power. Phyrrus of Epirus proved this when had numerous victories over Rome and he was from the small province of Epirus in northern Greece. I doubt the Greeks then would have gone to conquer Britain (no reason to) and as Britain conquered the world in turn, it would have been a different world.
That's it. I'm creating a time machine and going to Greece!
@@GIGANIGGa747 Hahahaha, don't ruin the poor guys mood
@@adriannv2562 i can see you took a time travel trip at greece 2009 and stayed there till today..
Good luck at the dentist!
Kinda strange to imagine what the world today would look like if nothing had ever been destroyed.
For starters, there won't be any Abrahamic religions.
@Supreme Leader Killary Butcher of Emails Agreed.
@Arch Stanton Nope, I never prompted to that. But it was Abrahamic religions that appropriated native practices, destroyed their gods and forced them to convert under the sword. Abrahmic religions are about power and wealth by brainwashing the masses. So yes; it is intriguing to think of 'what if' scenarios.
@Arch Stanton Haha 'Rape women'. I understand that you are immature to talk about that which is spiritual. Religion demands loyalty and penance from its followers. Abrahamic religions always portraits nature as a bounty to be exploited.
Spirituality demands discipline, harmony and sustenance with nature (something people will come to follow inevitably). The 'God' I referred to is a lot different from what you seem to hold. Zeus and Odin weren't the only Gods of the Old.
I think it's important to set the distinction of the good and bad of religion and people. Religion when first created was of good intention, to seed hope in the poor/to uphold morals/to promote peace and harmony/to lessen suffering. But bad people often take religion as an excuse to do things that directly contradict the goals of these religions. Something like: "hey this group of people speaks a different language and follows a different religion! I must convert them to my religion, but I found that the easiest way is to invade them and destroy their worship places - so that's what I'm going to do."
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey :)
👍👍👍👍👍😅
Is not factual. The Hellenistic people painted their statues, homes, interiors, columns, walls, floors and ceilings. They were also homogenous people. Hellenes were strict and valued honor. Not some multicultural mass of peoples with women warriors and different races running around. This game is a modern liberal interpretation, not accurate on many fronts.
Fun-with-purpose 14 the game does show all those things you mentioned. It sounds like you just commented on the game without even playing it.
@@fun-with-purpose1436 Fair enough but the above comment is right. All those things are shown in the game. But yes there is some outlandish things in there as well. There's obvious caucasian people in that game with the most unrealistic dark skin pigment. It's just lazy and throws me off lol. The game world however is not that bad.

England should give back the marbles stolen from the Parthenon!
Asmeret ኣስመረት i believe he means, that they should be displayed at the Museum of Athens, rather than the British,since Lord Elgin, thought it would be a great idea to take them home.
@@AK-iy2xg yes but the majority of the british museum has stolen artifacts from other countries so if they gave all those back, a big part of it would be empty
@@minminbtscookie9542 thats you answer?
I'm not supporting them guys i'm greek myself, i'm just saying what the person above said that they'll have only halls left xD
@Asmeret ኣስመረት why is that a bad thing? Don't steal people's shit, jesus.
I'm glad that you showed people farming. Growing food would have been the main preoccupation of most of the Greeks most of the time.
Demeter is a very important goddess for those people
He got this from a video game!
Daisy Conception may i know what game?
Lots of vineyards.
You must think of the richest Greek cities as complex societies. Athens had the largest and most powerful navy. Bulding ships, travelling and trading were many people's occupation. That brought wealth, open-mindness and of course trades like doctors, teachers, theatrical writers and actors, poets, priests, philosophers and statemen. Many Athenians were rich either by owning land or ships and this kind of wealth sustained Democracy because Athens's Democracy immediate and decisions were taken by the citizens on the spot. So a hard working person could not keep up with decision making, while as far as we know it was thousands of Athenians hanging in the Ecclisia of Dimos, the Agora and being the Iliaia justices.
many thanks for video games companies for bringing the ancient world back to life...in color and realistic visualizations. Great work!!!!
I wonder how much a one bedroom flat would put you back in ancient Athens.
One bag of Indian spices
@@TNRPISIQ indian spices were not being traded and used back then.
A nice one? You might be looking at military service.
You'd have to balance out a nice bed with nightmares of phalanx combat.
That depends. If you where moving to the city from elsewhere and did not have very many or any connections and if you where otherwise not of great means i.e not from an aristocratic family than you could expect very little in the way of "good deals".
However if you where in anyway famous (as a craftsman, warrior, athlete, philosopher, etc.) or if you where well connected in the city than many families would be happy to give you a "room" (more like a small apartment) with theme for free, provided you are a good guest which is very important.
All in all you would have an easier time of it than in Sparta.
How much did a Greek urn?? ;-0
Excellent.....I have spent the last three years visiting Rome, Sicily and Greece.
Thank you for all the thoughts!

I really like how beautiful the buildings and surrounding areas are. Usually, such depictions of ancient locations make them so bare and ugly. People living
back then had an appreciation of aesthetics the same as we do today. They didn't want to live around unattractive buildings with bare rocky ground all around.
Are you crazy bot? No one is that stupid.
WOW!!!What a amazing time travel!!!My grettings from Greece!
WOW! Underated video! I AM IN LOVE with history. Especially greek and roman.
This is just magnificent.
Thank you. That was amazing. I love the books by Mary Renault and Steven Pressfield as they transport you back to Ancient Greece. This was a great visual representation of the glory that was Athens.
No pollution in ancient greece, all is beautiful naturally
Anything that is color VIOLET is SO EXPENSIVE even the royalty could not buy much! But Ancient Greece be like: Ghorl! We use it as a street carpet! Haha
The knossos frescoes are mainly in blue colour... after all this time... could be light purple in the beggining , i suppose
From video game
Beautiful. The work involved is mind-blowing. The ONLY suggestion would be a VR type subtitle where you hovered the cursor over an object and it would tell you (which hill of Rome you were on), or what that specific temple/building was. Thank you so much for this little slice of history.
Beautiful work my friend. Thanks for the great work.
I would love to have the ability to travel in time to visit these times Greek, Roman, Maya, Babylone, Kmers, Egyptians and contemplate all these beautiful building, statues, temples ...
This is beyond stunning. The music, the visuals, everything 😍. Thank you so much, I feel completely transported and in awe.
All of these are from a videogame
Absolutely stunning! Thank you. The only thing I'd change is the music. There's so much gorgeous ancient Greek music, played on instruments identical to the ones used back then. But it's a small complaint. Your work is terrific.
Bro you have raised a new bar for CZcams videos, love all of them
People are complaining about this and that. It's beautiful and I enjoyed it.
They're rightly complaining about it claiming to show what Greece looked like, but not actually showing what Greece looked like, brightly colored statues and columns are basic.
I watch these videos just to improve my art lol
Ignorance is bliss, eh mate?! Everything is beautiful to the eyes of the ignorant.

Agreed. We derived a lot from them artistically. And they borrowed from earlier cultures, while also coming up with things unique to their own place.

Zarathustra They weren’t perfect but they certainly did a good job capturing the aura of the previous settings. Not to mention, the architecture was on point.
Man... I would do anything to go back in time and visit Ancient Greece/Rome, see the insanity of a massive battle or a Gladiator match, hear the music and see the art, etc. So much I wish I could see with my own eyes. Fascinating times.
All I can say is WOW!! So glad I found this channel!
Thank you for this beautiful video. It’s great to see people taking interest in the Ancient World and how we can try to imagine it. I would dearly love to see a video about what Minoan/Bronze Age Crete looked like. Namely in Heraklion at the Palace of Knossos. I think seeing something like that would be the most helpful thing in my research for a novel I’m writing. It would help me visualize better. And, of course, the subject matter is really interesting. Ancient Greece is a great thing to study/research/ know about because so much of our classic education has its roots there.
Fantastic! Love the sense of atmosphere, sunlight and aerial views. Would you consider featuring a recreation of the "palace" of Knossos and the Minoan civilization? Thanks again and thumbs up!
You can visit the ruins of the palace in the game and even fight the Minotaur!
Gorgeous! Thank you!😊👍❤
Everything looks so elegant,amazing animation!🏛
This is a really beautiful video. Please keep up this splendid work and don't let criticism from viewers who think they know more than you stop you from further recreations.
I think the colours, the people moving and the music add to the sense of what it might have looked like in the ancient past.
You know this from a videogame right?
@@KingFancyson what?

Ancient Greece is the closest place to a paradise
Ancient Greece is incredibly modern and civilized. Many cities in the 21st century have not reached its standard yet.
The ancient greeks saw value in building beautiful things. Today's construction standards are mostly strictly utilitarian, so we are confined to living among cubes and rectangles.
@@christophilous4831 Since the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, we have been pursuing profits and efficiency at the expense of aesthetic value. As a result, major cities in the world lack a sense of beauty and look uniform as if cities in the East and the West are same. Just compare Shanghai and New York. People in Asian countries which are rich in glorious history are mimicking Western cities because they blindly believe pursuit of profits and efficiency would bring them progress and prosperity. What a shame!
@Dicis Maximus having a beautiful city is profitable , it makes people happier, more productive, increases tourism, and so on. But these things aren't easily quantifiable and displayed in quarterly reports, so we ignore them.
humanizing the past like this is so important and beautiful. humans never change
This may be the most aesthetically pleasing video on the internet.
It's all greek love it.... Life is so much easier they showed us no hectic no stressed by something the Greeks have the blues and the paradise on earth I heard some one say someday that all began in Hellas and all will end there...
