For a religion/philosophy such as Christianity to take hold, so fast in spite of serious and tortuous persecution, and the Roman and Greek common believe in many gods, says something about the Truth of Christianity.

The video is great but I do wish to provide some additional information on the names and words of this culture. The Λύκιοι (Lúkioi̯) is a name given to them by outside sources; supposedly an Athenian Aristocrat "Λύκος" and his people settled there. Their endonym of Trm̃mili (Τερμίλαι Hellenized form, Termílai) was used interchangeably once west Greek settlers had intermixed with them. In the 500-200BCE time period this happened over, the name of Λύκιοι would've been said as Lew-ki-oi with an emphasis on whichever position the acute is placed on (it's differently placed with each dialect of Ancient Greek). It's probably heavily engrained in your own mind because of miscommunication within modern schools, but placing our perceived pronunciations onto external words tends to mispronounce them. They are not Lɪçíans (as you are saying) but rather Lúkions or Lúkioi̯. 13:02 is another example of this, as Μύρᾱ is not Mira in pronunciation (and Ξᾰνθός which would be said as Ksăntʰós). 13:59 is another that sparked my ear. Λητώ (Lētǫ́, lɛː.tɔ̌ː) is not said as Lito, but rather as Lē-táw. This is shown in the Greek name of the sanctuary: Λητῷον (Said as Lē-táw-on). 18:46 is the last I wanted to chat about. It's a nearly globally unrecognized mispronunciation, by external English speaking Christians, that Nicaea is pronounced as Naiçia as you say. This then creates other terms like the Nicene Creed that is said in nearly the same way (i.e. Naiçīn). The city's name was Νῑ́καιᾰ in 301 BCE (Nī́kaiă, or Nǐː.kai̯.a) named after a nymph similar in name to the personified Goddess of Victory, Νῑ́κη (before it was named Ἀντιγονεία). By the time of the first Council it had come to be pronounced as Ni.cɛ.a but with a still hardened c sound (a shift from Voiceless Velar Plosive to a Voiceless Palatal Plosive) that is still present in Greek, not an s or ç one English speakers tend to place on C's (a product of French entering the language). As I said before this is just extra provided information if you ever want to dive into languages of the area and not heavy criticism of anything said here. Most of the names were passable and so I won't remark on them; the information provided is well put together. Thanks for the video.

@@Street-Gems Can't say that I am; though an extensive erudite of the area, not only of Hellắs, but Tʰrā́ikē, Anatolḗ, Sakʰartʰvelo, Osetʰi and Hayer too. Two things I forgot to mention in the original: First, the Μύρᾱ's pronounciation was (Mý.raː), said as Mew-rā. The further back you go there may have even been a time it was said as Mūrá (Muː.ra) using ὖ's original sound. Secondly, Λητῷον shows off a feature of early Ancient Greek known as vocalic offglide in which transitions from old sounds to new ones can drop letters that are still included within early lexigraphy. We in theory could write this word in English as Lētâʷi-on or Lētɔi-on, though only in early versions of Greek would the i be said at all. The loss of this letter and placement of Ἰῶτα underneath the ὦ is to show its past sound is now lost. This is present in the name of a Θρᾷξ as well (Tʰrã[i]ks, Thracian). This presents the transliteration individual with a choice of whether to write these as Lētâʷi-on or Lētâʷ-on, and Tʰrãiks or Tʰrãks (Both of which fairly significantly change their pronounciation).

I curiously decided to watch your documentary. I was amazed at how similar the Lycians are to our Phoenician ancestry that I could provide you with so much more information. I had to interrupt to send you my substantiated commentary. They are certainly one of the offshoots of the Phoenicians. The alphabet, the mountain-carved structures (Petra), the rising Phoenix, Aramaic & Syriac, seafarers, relentless warriors (Tyre against Alexander & Hannibal against Rome), well-organized, traditional, & the list goes on...we were not conquerors, we were traders-explorers. We discovered Spain to mine silver & mint the 1st coins for our trade. We discovered the alphabet & wrote it on scrolls (ordered from Egypt), but we never wrote our history. We are the most influential yet silent civilization! Thank you for an inspiring video.

When the Dutch founded New Amsterdam (now New York) they brought this tradition to North America.

@@MMijdus Yeah I think you're right. The English had no tradition worshipping him. Maybe that's why it was easy for them to just borrow that tradition and add it to Christmas. Afterall, Santa Claus is associated with gift giving, not the traditional reason for Christmas. If I ever make a whole video about Gemiler Island, I can elaborate on that story and do it more justice, because it is rather fascinating.

I liked your joke 😁 So glad you liked my video. And you're right, it was bold of them to think that. They probably thought that as long as they have the bones, the blessing is there. And then of course many "holy relics" were total BS. Just because someone said that those are the bones of this saint or that, and then everyone believed them. A bit like a lot of disinformation today. Someone says something online, and thousands of people believe it without critical thought.

The Dutch totally agree on this Santa origin story. Saint Nicholas became our Sinterklaas, who was brought to New Amsterdam, and after it become New York, became Santa Claus. We all learn he was born in Turkey, was bishop of Myra and, here we learn wrong, he later moved to Spain.

These cities (rich trade ports on Mediterrenian and Agean cost) lost prominance around 7th or 8th century ADE. I can think of two reasons: First one, Arabs conquered the rest of Eastern Roman lands on Mediterian cost (Levant, Egypt,...). This broke the Roman trade in Eastern Mediterrenian. Those lands were more interconnected. The Empire condenced its structure to more compact self reliant form. Sea trade decreased. Second one, these trade ports were on river deltas. They had a fertile hinterland. But those rivers were taking alluvium choking those cities. Cities were constantly fighting back, by clearing the alluvium, moving cities a few kilometers furter or building canals for ships to enter the ports,... Nature won at the end. By the 11th and 12th century, when the Seljuks reach there the cities had already shrunk in size. They had become smaller provinceal towns. Lareger ones continued to be towns or new town centers formed next to them. Some more remote ones were already abondened. Some had turned to villages,...

All of Anatolia, is European, and part of Europe geographically. Anatolia is historically, culturally, and ethnically an ancient part of Indo-European culture and history. You see the hundreds of Greek temples, and theatres! Anatolia is the ancient homeland of Proto-Hellenic cultures: Beginning with the Proto-European Hittites, then by region, Luwians, Lycians, Lydians, Carians, Phrygians, Ionians, Dorians, Trojans, Galatians, Thracians, Mycenaeans, and others, who were the direct ancestors of the Golden Age Greeks. The ancient homeland of the Turks, is Turkmenistan, in Central Asia. Having mixed with native Europeans, many Turks consider themselves European, and I am sure they are right, although Islam has caused much destruction to many of the Greco-Roman historical sites in Anatolia.
