How Greece was Christianized DOCUMENTARY

Check out our video on one of the most important battles of the Warhammer Fantasy Universe - Battle of the Black Fire Pass: https://youtu.be/VCFZ-Lwm4sc

Your military vids are great, but my absolute favorite vids are these that cover the non-military aspects of history and ancient life.

That Age of Empires reference brought back so many memories. "Woolooloo!"

"A simple WO Lo Lo /" ah the good to hear the great priest from age of empires .

Interested about the Christianization of Ethiopia and Eritrea, considering their somewhat isolated position from the classical world in late antiquity

It helps that Greek were the lingua franca of the Eastern mediterranian, thanks to Alexander's conquest and the Hellenization policy of his succesor Kingdoms

More videos of Greece, it’s so interesting and fascinating. Great video. I would love to see a video of the Pontic Greeks (they seem to preserved a lot of ancient cultural stuff in language and music).

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World also fell victim of Theodosius I's closing down of pagan temples in 391 AD. Just like the Statue of Athena in Athens, Zeus's great monument and the temple that housed it fell into disrepair as more people converted to Christianity and abandoned worshiping the old gods. It was believed to have been destroyed by a fire sometime in the 5th century AD.

This channel never ceases to amaze us! Thank you Kings and Generals for inspiring us to make our military history channel!

2:25 "Oftentimes it took more than preaching to convince the followers of the Old Gods to abandon them..." If you're familiar with writings of Lovecraft, hearing "Old Gods" summons quite a different picture in your mind than writers of the script for this video probably expected to. :D

Significant errors: You use map of modern Greece and you describe the years between classical Rome and Greekorhodox East Rome . Very confused for people who don't have historical knowledge.Furthermore You mention how Greek mainland cities became christian but you forgot that the Greek Center cities and regions like Ephesus Alexandria Pontus was the cause of transformation and now are out of modern Greek map...

Not really sure you've used the right map here. It shows the borders of modern Greece, when during this time Greece was not its own country (was part of the Roman empire) and many, or even most, Greeks lived outside of these borders (in places like Anatolia, Middle East and Italy).

When I was in Sicily I stood in a Church that was built directly on top of a pagan temple. Part of the floor was glass so I was able to look down at the ruins.

3:51 that cought me off guard LMAO

I was asking for this for a while, thanks for doing this subject.

1:44 Greece wasn't just this back then. There were a great deal more Greek lands in the Balkans and Anatolia.

At a time when the majority of (those we call today Greeks) lived outside the geographic area of modern Greece, mainly Asia Minor, S.Italy & Sicily and many in Levant and Egypt (the two largest metropolitan Greek speaking cities then where Antioch in Syria and Alexandria in Egypt that where the third and second largest Megacities after Rome in the Empire) and all Hellenistic centres say in Syria Laodicea or Asia Minor (the 7 churches in west anatolia St. John mentions in the Revelations) Ephesos, Smyrni, Philadelphia, Pergamos etc speaking of the geographical region of todays Greece (if you did the video a little more than a century ago would you include only half of what is now Greece because these where the then borders?) makes little sense. Especially, if you still want to focus on the geographic region of mainland Greece and Aegean again cutting it off the western Asia Minor major Greek cities (most bigger than those of mainland Greece) distorts the reality of the time since west and east coast plus islands of the Aegean constituted an economic and cultural unity (outside the political wider one under Rome).

Thank you for this amazing video!

The animations are so beautiful. Great video btw!

Thanks for posting!!
