Have we Devolved? Exploring Delos, Ancient Greece
May 31, 2024 by Dylan Magaster | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:03 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Join Dylan Magaster as he embarks on an unforgettable journey to Delos, a remote Greek island steeped in mystery and awe. As the birthplace of twin gods Apollo and Artemis, Delos holds secrets to an ancient civilization that thrived over 2,300 years ago. A testament to humanity’s remarkable past, it invites us to question our own current state.
Delos: The Financial Capital of the Ancient World
The island of Delos, just off the coast from modern-day Mykonos, is a relic of an ancient city that once dominated global trade. At its peak, it served as the nexus for commerce, banking, and religion, welcoming people of all creeds to practice their beliefs.
Spectacular Architecture & City Planning
As we wander through the ruins, we’re left in awe by the advanced architecture and planning of this ancient society. While many of these structures have deteriorated over time, their scale still astounds.
Mosaic Art & Temples for Various Gods
With temples dedicated to Syrian, Egyptian, and Greek gods, Delos was not just a commercial hub. It welcomed traders of different religions with open arms, allowing them to practice their faiths peacefully.
The Mysterious Temples
One particularly intriguing temple stands out. Is it for Dionysus, god of wine and revelry? Or could it belong to an entirely different deity?
The Arena of Ancient Delos
Are the ruins truly the remnants of a civilization far advanced from our own? Consider the palestra, where Greek wrestling took place. Were these ancient Greeks fitter and stronger than modern individuals?
AI’s Vision of Ancient Delos
Dylan even enlists the help of AI to create hyper-realistic images of what ancient Delos might have looked like. The results are breathtaking, shedding light on an advanced civilization that once thrived here.
The Truth About Slavery in Ancient Greece
However, not all aspects of ancient life shine with the same luster. The presence of slavery in this civilization cannot be ignored. How prevalent was it in Delos, and does our society differ significantly from theirs?
The Empire’s Last Days: Colossus of Delos
A final visit to the towering base of the famed Colossus leaves us with a lingering thought. Is this civilization truly lost, or could we be witnessing our own decline into ignorance and apathy?
In this video essay, we explore the ancient ruins of Delos in the Cyclades Islands, Greece, and delve into the history of this fascinating archaeological site. And ask the question, why?
