PNYX HILL MEGALITHS - ATHENS GREECE

Let's explore the Pnyx Hill in Athens - the cradle of democracy, where members of the Ecclesia (Ekklesia) like Pericles, Demosthenes, or Themistocles delivered speeches that helped to create western-civilisation. We will explore the megalithic, polygonal retaining wall and the cave known as the prison of Socrates.

Explored in July 2021.

It's a must see video for all of you, who visit Greece for the first time. To appreciate and cherish the magic of the place before you travel to Greece watch this. My vlog / full documentary will give you a little taste of Greek history and its wonders: Greek architecture and Greek mythology.

I also think the wall is much older. According to Plato's account Athen's is atleast 10, 000 years old. The city has been through incredible inundations.

In the first place the Acropolis was not as now. For the fact is that a single night of excessive rain washed away the earth and laid bare the rock; at the same time there were earthquakes, and then occurred the extraordinary inundation, which was the third before the great destruction of Deucalion. But in primitive times the hill of the Acropolis extended to the Eridanus and Ilissus, and included the Pnyx on one side, and the Lycabettus as a boundary on the opposite side to the Pnyx, and was all well covered with soil, and level at the top, except in one or two places.

After my Exploration 2019 I agree with you this Wall is much older then scolars say. At least mycanean time, but no stone in mycines measures over 4 meters, pnyx maybe more old?? So pnyx got my favourite Wall in Greece. Great film with interesting background information👍👍👍💕

Catching up on your videos Irena - now feeling very lucky and much better, thank you! Like others have said it's like actually being in Greece on a personal tour. Great!

[nancyM]

This is a must see video👑❤

Co ja się nie naczekałem, ojejejej ;-DDD
Ale warto było :-)
I od razu się Pani przyznam, że też mi ten mur oporowy coś nie pasuje względem innych budowli.
A i przyznam się jeszcze, że od razu skojarzył mi się z... Sacsayhuamán.
Oczywiście daję łapkę w górę.
Dzięki! :-)

Video yang sangat bagus, ... berkunjung ke desa kami untuk membuat video

[louzola]

Every video you present on Greece teaches me something I never knew about this amazing ancient site! Not certain if I will ever make it to Greece so Thank you so much for bringing it to us! You always leave me looking forward to your next video! Awesome job!!!

[dazuk]

What an amazing site. I hate to say it but some of those walls do remind me of the polygonal walls at Sacsayhuaman in Peru ?. Here is a very famous quote that puts things into perspective "a beaver in Europe will build a dam the same way as one in the US..but they never talk to each other" ..😉peace to ya.

Irena, glad to see somebody finally covering megalithic structures in Greece. How was your experience with Greece btw?

[AlexKaras-gckk]

Impressed by the Pnyx in Athens film. It's a great experience to enjoy it while standing on the very grounds of Pnyx!

[czeszkiewiczglobal]

Amazing place! I've been there 1.5 years ago.

[aldenunion]

I never had notice you had a live chat premiere for this..Sorry...Youtube ripping people not adding it to the choices..Great Video, filming, guide..

[katerynastolypina]

Maybe these wholes with metal grids today, used to be prison wholes for debts, etc. just my idea :)

[detgrsketestamente]

Cool channel. I love the fact that you do all the filming, så viewers can see aspects of the ancient sites that is not represented in much more expensive productions. Keep up the good work, and I have a couple of ideas for you and your channel to make it even greater. Thank you.

[thomarsep]

❤❤❤❤ lovely video, thank you so much.

[BSIII]

Those polygonal stones are massive. WOW

[Matamumi]

Great content, thank you! Do you know if the Cycladic civilization of the Aegean and the Sesklo culture of Thessaly were Pelasgians?

[chifc]

Interesting video. Those holes look intriguing. If you go again maybe you could drop a gopro camera on a rope with a light down them and see how deep they are and where they lead to. What if they were airshafts to an underground city of something :)

[daveth]

Those stones remind me more of some of the foundational stones in Palmyra. Just massive, with almost perfect stonework. Very mysterious indeed. Also, as for the "holes, " my guess is that they served as water cisterns. Anyone know for sure?
