while most ancient Greeks believed in
202
00:11:34,089 --> 00:11:35,949
their mythology and the will of the gods
203
00:11:35,949 --> 00:11:38,589
Greek scholars were open to other
204
00:11:38,589 --> 00:11:41,319
explanations of the world they tried to
205
00:11:41,319 --> 00:11:43,839
understand the world by reflecting upon
206
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:50,139
it the first step was a thorough
207
00:11:50,139 --> 00:11:55,389
observation of nature Greek researchers
208
00:11:55,389 --> 00:11:57,249
drew conclusions from the mating

[Music]
213
00:12:08,930 --> 00:12:12,300
the Greeks designed the water clock even
214
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:14,640
if only to regulate the speaking time of
215
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,390

217
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,720
they built equipment such as a machine

00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,090
for drawing lots for the allocation of
219
00:12:30,090 --> 00:12:34,140
official positions the scholars were no
220
00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:36,390
longer satisfied with stories of the
221
00:12:36,390 --> 00:12:39,210
gods they wanted to identify cause and
222
00:12:39,210 --> 00:12:47,040
effect and to record them as laws these
223
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,430
inquiring minds called themselves
224
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:53,160
philosophers Friends of wisdom they are
225
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,810
regarded as the founders of science from
226
00:12:57,810 --> 00:13:00,720
the 6th century BC onwards their will to
227
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,420
understand spread through all of Greece
228
00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:08,700
schools of philosophy the forerunners of
229
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,370
today's research centers sprang up like
230
00:13:11,370 --> 00:13:14,400
temples of learning

232
00:13:17,970 --> 00:13:21,940

ideas of antiquity pope julius ii
234
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,340

00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:35,680
them is Socrates who tormented the

Athenians with uncomfortable questions
238
00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:42,240
and declared I know that I know nothing
239
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,920
white-bearded Plato established the
240
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,950
world's first school of philosophy its
241
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:50,340
central concern was the search for truth
242
00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:53,410
beside him is his pupil Aristotle who
243
00:13:53,410 --> 00:13:55,740
invented systematic logic

245
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:02,580
then there's Diogenes famous even though
246
00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:08,250
little is known of it and the great
247
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:11,520
Archimedes already famous during his
248
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,280
lifetime for his scientific ingenuity
249
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,210
Archimedes reputation won him a very
250
00:14:21,210 --> 00:14:23,820
special assignment he had to discover
251
00:14:23,820 --> 00:14:26,400
whether a royal crown was made of pure
252
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,920
gold or had been alloyed with some
253
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,950
cheaper metal it was a challenging task
254
00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:37,380
as the precious crown could not be
255
00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:46,830
damaged in any way the idea that saved
256
00:14:46,830 --> 00:14:51,840
Archimedes came to him in the barn the
257
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,780
tub was full and when he got in it began
258
00:14:54,780 --> 00:14:56,550
to overflow
259
00:14:56,550 --> 00:15:03,790
[Music]
260
00:15:05,329 --> 00:15:08,069
Archimedes realized that the volume of
261
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:10,680
the water that had overflowed Khorasan
262
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,139
did approximately to the volume of his
263
00:15:13,139 --> 00:15:19,350
own body he concluded that the volume of
264
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:21,930
bodies and even their density could be
265
00:15:21,930 --> 00:15:24,389
calculated by the volume of water they
266
00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:26,040
displaced
267
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,270
[Music]
268
00:15:30,270 --> 00:15:32,640
he realized that he could use the water
269
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,770
method to determine mathematically
270
00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:39,800
whether or not the cran was of pure gold
271
00:15:40,050 --> 00:15:42,820
he observed that an object with a
272
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:44,670
density lower than that of water
273
00:15:44,670 --> 00:15:47,500
displaced more liquid than an object
274
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,230
with a higher density the comparison
275
00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:52,570
only worked however if the two objects
276
00:15:52,570 --> 00:15:57,730
were of the same weight it is said the
277
00:15:57,730 --> 00:15:59,650
dark immediate was so delighted by his
278
00:15:59,650 --> 00:16:03,010
discovery that he cried Eureka I found
279
00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:07,770
it and ran out naked into the street
280
00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:11,790
so Archimedes took the crown and the
281
00:16:11,790 --> 00:16:14,910
lump of pure gold of the same weight if
282
00:16:14,910 --> 00:16:17,160
the crown was a pure gold it would
283
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,620
displace the same amount of water as the
284
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:20,870
lump of gold
285
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:23,690
however the crown displaced far more
286
00:16:23,690 --> 00:16:28,160
proving it was not pure gold
287
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,680
this was not the only problem solved by
288
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,829
the ingenious Archimedes to this day he
289
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:36,050
is regarded as one of the best minds of
290
00:16:36,050 --> 00:16:38,810
all time and his Archimedean principle
291
00:16:38,810 --> 00:16:43,819
still stands his fellow scholars were
292
00:16:43,819 --> 00:16:46,160
not to be outdone they designed the
293
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,529
first world map with longitude and
294
00:16:48,529 --> 00:16:49,400
latitude

[Music]
296
00:16:54,010 --> 00:16:56,480
they discovered that the earth is a
297
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,810
sphere and ptolemy calculated the
298
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:01,340
movement of the planets and other
299
00:17:01,340 --> 00:17:04,699
celestial bodies in relation to it the

list also includes the first
301
00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:08,900
steam-powered machine and the invention
302
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:13,099
of the water pump in addition the Greeks
303
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:15,349
developed equipment such as the catapult
304
00:17:15,349 --> 00:17:19,449
and protective vests for their soldiers
305
00:17:19,449 --> 00:17:22,280

00:17:28,250 --> 00:17:30,680
disciplines such as geometry and algebra

discoveries much of what we now take for

00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:49,280
granted would not exist perhaps there
314
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,440
would never have been domes on top of

any nuclear research

00:18:03,180 --> 00:18:05,100
beginning of the 19th century might
320
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:07,400
never have happened
321
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,380
ocean liners might have remained early
322
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,540
in the 6th century BC a reform was
323
00:18:18,540 --> 00:18:20,340
implemented in Athens that would
324
00:18:20,340 --> 00:18:24,470
radically change the lives of the Greeks
325
00:18:24,740 --> 00:18:28,560
an estimated 80,000 Athenians witnessed
326
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,940
a political revolution the city-state
327
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:36,090
was in crisis the ordinary people had
328
00:18:36,090 --> 00:18:38,310
revolted against the king and the nobles
329
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:41,010
they wanted to say in all important
330
00:18:41,010 --> 00:18:44,280
decisions it was the birth of the public
331
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,500
assembly every citizen of Athens could
332
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:53,400
participate or almost everyone only men
333
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,640
aged 18 and over were permitted there
334
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,960
was almost always a crowd the poor
335
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,360
received the daily payment for attending
336
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:07,450
so that they too could have their say
337
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:11,799
[Music]
338
00:19:12,499 --> 00:19:20,450
maybe dude I got a no in order
339
00:19:20,970 --> 00:19:23,970
the citizens of Athens met once a month
340
00:19:23,970 --> 00:19:26,850
in a square near the Acropolis to engage
341
00:19:26,850 --> 00:19:28,500
in politics
342
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:35,090
I got it us one time what about that
343
00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:40,880
this monthly People's Assembly was the
344
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,280
first of its kind in the history of the
345
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,789
world which introduction not the
346
00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:51,669
beginning of a new system democracy
347
00:19:52,179 --> 00:19:54,440
symbols of the new system were
348
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,169
harmonious and Alistair Gaytan two
349
00:19:57,169 --> 00:19:59,510
Athenians who assassinated the tyrant
350
00:19:59,510 --> 00:20:03,890
Hipparchus it was quite different in
351
00:20:03,890 --> 00:20:05,919
varville Egypt and the ancient East
352
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:08,659
their rulers continued to represent
353
00:20:08,659 --> 00:20:14,090
themselves as gods the law was always on
354
00:20:14,090 --> 00:20:19,429
the side of the despots their people had
355
00:20:19,429 --> 00:20:21,860
few rights but still had to give their
356
00:20:21,860 --> 00:20:27,020
lives in battle it may be surprising but
357
00:20:27,020 --> 00:20:31,390
democracy was born from such a crisis
358
00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:38,299
at first the Greeks fought only one
359
00:20:38,299 --> 00:20:40,730
another but then they had to defend
360
00:20:40,730 --> 00:20:43,850
themselves against the Persians every
361
00:20:43,850 --> 00:20:45,830
man was needed in the battle against the
362
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:48,980
foreign invader all those who were fit
363
00:20:48,980 --> 00:20:51,110
to fight from the nobles to the peasants
364
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:55,370
joined the army the armies of the
365
00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:57,710
city-states had thousands upon thousands
366
00:20:57,710 --> 00:21:00,830
of men rich and poor faulting closed
367
00:21:00,830 --> 00:21:03,350

country's independence initial Athens
369
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:13,130
built a new Navy its thousands of rowers
370
00:21:13,130 --> 00:21:18,230
came from among the poor together the
371
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:20,630
Greeks were strong they defeated the
372
00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:22,990
Persians in two decisive battles
373
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:27,260
marathon on land and Salamis at sea the
374
00:21:27,260 --> 00:21:29,059
victories boosted the growth of Athenian
375
00:21:29,059 --> 00:21:31,429
democracy having risk their lives

00:21:31,429 --> 00:21:33,860
constantly for the state the poorest
