As a greek i must say that it is great to see people analyzing these kinds of stories which are really underated and not well known.. Also where did you get your sources from?

[mercianthane]

Wouldn't be this a re-colonization? Since the greeks colonized these regions during the Bronze Age... correct me if i'm wrong

In music theory many scales are named after ancient greek people. The minor scale is formally known as the "aeolian scale".

[greekpatriot]

This lands are 2000 years and more Greek.

It is now well established historically that the Trojan war was a civil war between people of the same ethnicity . They spoke the same language, the used the same names, they had the same gods. It is the logical continuity and explanation of the historical research as a science. This civil war that is historically spotted between 15th and 12th century BC with all the scientific archeological elements found there In the Greek language is one of many evidence and proof of the pre existence of Greek element in the region of Anatolia in a solid way!
We just lost Ionia 100 years ago after 4000 year of greek ethnic existence in this region as the same People with the same religious, linguistic, custom and ethos background !!

I wonder how many times the Greeks were able to settle and establish cities on uninhabited coast lands thanks to the incessant piracy of their fore-bearers causing native peoples to withdraw inland?

[TheSapphireLeo]

So who colonized who first Greeks or Asians?

(41-19l} And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered unto the Fire, they are driven on


[41:20]

Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do.


[41:21]

And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us ? They say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things, and Who created you at the first, and unto Whom ye are returned.


[41:22]

Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you, but ye deemed that Allah knew not much of what ye did.


[41:23]

That, your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.


[41:24]

And though they are resigned, yet the Fire is still their home; and if they ask for favour, yet they are not of those unto whom favour can be shown.


[41:25]

And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.


[41:26]

Those who disbelieve say: Heed not this Qur’an, and drown the hearing of it; haply ye may conquer.


[41:27]

But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an awful doom, and verily We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.


[41:28]

That is the reward of Allah’s enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.


[41:29]

And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! Show us those who beguiled us of the jinn and humankind. We will place them underneath our feet that they may be among the nethermost.


[41:30]

Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised.


[41:31]

We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray.


[41:32]

A gift of welcome from One Forgiving, Merciful.


[41:33]

And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).


[41:34]

The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.


[41:35]

But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.


[7:38]

He saith: Enter into the Fire among nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before you. Every time a nation entereth, it curseth its sister (nation) till, when they have all been made to follow one another thither, the last of them saith unto the first of them: Our Lord! These led us astray, so give them double torment of the Fire. He saith: For each one there is double (torment), but ye know not.


[7:39]

And the first of them saith unto the last of them: Ye were no whit better than us, so taste the doom for what ye used to earn.


[7:40]

Lo! they who deny Our revelations and scorn them, for them the gates of heaven will nor be opened not will they enter the Garden until the camel goeth through the needle’s eye. Thus do We requite the guilty.


[7:41]

Theirs will be a bed of hell, and over them coverings (of hell). Thus do We requite wrong-doers.


[7:42]

But (as for) those who believe and do good works - We tax not any soul beyond its scope - Such are rightful owners of the Garden. They abide therein.


[7:43]

And We remove whatever rancour may be in their hearts. Rivers flow beneath them. And they say: The praise to Allah, Who hath guided us to this. We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us. Verily the messengers of our Lord did bring the Truth. And it is cried unto them: This is the Garden. Ye inherit it for what ye used to do.


[7:44]

And the dwellers of the Garden cry unto the dwellers of the Fire: We have found that which our Lord promised us (to be) the Truth. Have ye (too) found that which your Lord promised the Truth ? They say: Yea, verily. And a crier in between them crieth: The curse of Allah is on evil- doers,


[7:45]

Who debar (men) from the path of Allah and would have it crooked, and who are disbelievers in the Last Day.


[7:46]

Between them is a veil. And on the Heights are men who know them all by their marks. And they call unto the dwellers of the Garden: Peace be unto you! They enter it not although they hope (to enter).


[7:47]

And when their eyes are turned toward the dwellers of the Fire, they say: Our Lord! Place us not with the wrong-doing folk.


[7:48]

And the dwellers on the Heights call unto men whom they know by their marks, (saying): What did your multitude and that in which ye took your pride avail you ?


[7:49]

Are these they of whom ye swore that Allah would not show them mercy ? (Unto them it hath been said): Enter the Garden. No fear shall come upon you nor is it ye who will grieve.


[7:50]

And the dwellers of the Fire cry out unto the dwellers of the Garden: Pour on us some water or some wherewith Allah hath provided you. They say: Lo! Allah hath forbidden both to disbelievers (in His guidance),



[41:51]
When We show favour unto man, he withdraweth and turneth aside, but when ill toucheth him then he aboundeth in prayer.

[41:52]
Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye reject it - Who is further astray than one who is at open feud (with Allah) ?

[41:53]
We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things ?

[41:54]
How! Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord ? Lo! Is not He surrounding all things ?

[stepanterechshenko]

That is a very nice channel, treating beautiful times with nice animations. But unfortunarely it is likely phantasies well spoken. We have no sources for mayority of the ancient world and not even good documentation of whatever beyound 17th century AD is preserved. Unfortunarely my friends most of the history we know from the official books of the history is biggest lie we have been fed
