When the Greeks asked to meet Jesus Christ, He said:
"The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified."

Greek was not just a medium for Christianity’s spread, but its lifeblood; the New Testament and the Apostles spoke Greek in a Hellenic world that embraced them..🧵⤵️ The Western world thinks that Christianity's language is Latin, due to the spread of Catholic Church.. but many do not know that its original language was - and still is - Greek.

Mainstream theories told us humanity evolved and migrated out of Africa, regardless of many gaps and questions.

What if it told you that recent findings suggest an alternate, European lineage?

This is a story of origins, mystery and suppression of challenging views..🧵⤵️ In the limestone caves of Greece, two remarkable finds offer a window into a chaotic, vibrant chapter of human evolution.

These fossils, unearthed from the rugged landscapes of Macedonia and Peloponnese, challenge the "tidy" narrative of our origins.

Athens is a time machine. You can walk the ancient paths where Socrates debated and history hums in every stone, column, and winding alley.

Here, the Classical world meets the rhythm of modern life—a place to explore corners where civilization was shaped; here's a few..🧵⤵️ The Acropolis is a crown, Parthenon glowing at sunset above a sea of cement; in this tragic irony the beauty of this city lies.

If you ask Athenians about their city, their views will span from “nightmare” to “golden”, depending on the day and the time you ask them; and no one is an Athenian in Athens anyway (insider’s joke).

I will give you a few of the cool places in the center and maybe i'll dive deeper another time; i'll also avoid the super obvious ones.

Can you say who’s in control here?

Rasputin was a controversy: a holy man steeped in debauchery, priest possessed by evil and a peasant in control of an empire.

Upon his death, Imperial Russia fel-as it was foretold; was he the reason of the fall or the one preventing it?🧵⤵️ Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was born on January 21, 1869 (Julian calendar, or February 2 in the Gregorian), in the small village of Pokrovskoye, in the Tyumen district of Siberia, part of the Russian Empire.

His parents were peasants who worked the land and raised livestock.

Slavery is bad, like war; but throughout history, it has been a global practice, interwoven with human nature, economic incentives, racial motives and profit over the suffering of the weak.

So is it a “White” or European thing? Here's the answer.. Slavery and the slave trade predate modern notions of race or European dominance, existing across cultures for millennia. It was driven by economic demand, warfare, and power dynamics, not exclusive to any one group.

Castles are built to defend against external threats; but what if the enemy lies within?

One castle in Europe is said to serve to host one of the gates to Hell. Do its inward-facing walls and a chapel over a bottomless pit make it a fortress against demons? ..🧵⤵️ Perched on a limestone cliff 47 kilometers north of Prague, this 13th-century Gothic fortress defies the logic of its era. It wasn’t built to guard a trade route, house royalty, or fend off invaders.

The West is on the verge of societal collapse due to a tidal influx of immigrants.

Immigration has historically been a world-shaping force, fueling the growth or collapse of societies and sometimes even replacing the original populations.

Here's how and why.. Migration has shaped human history, driving progress and diversity when guided by order, but sowing chaos and displacement when left unchecked.

From ancient Greek colonies to modern American immigration, history shows that migration can cause cataclysmic changes.

The fate of the Peloponnesian War was not decided by battles.

Athens was unstoppable: economic and military might, naval supremacy and cultural wealth were some of its strengths fueling imperial dreams.

They would conquer the world; but they got hit by an African plague..🧵⤵️ The plague hit Athens in 430 BC, during the second year of the war between Athens and Sparta. Athens, under Pericles’ leadership, adopted a defensive strategy, withdrawing its population behind the city’s Long Walls, leading to overcrowding and poor sanitation.

The Argonauts were the original superheroes of Myth.

Evil kings, witches, sirens, monsters, dragons and giant robots could not break them; but did they win in the end?

This is the second part of the Argonautica, the greatest adventure of all time..🧵⤵️ The Argo sliced through the waves like a blade, leaving Pagasae’s shore behind, its fifty oars pounding the sea to Orpheus’s raw, steady rhythm.

The crew—fifty of Greece’s deadliest—was a powder keg of egos and steel, bound by a suicidal quest for the Golden Fleece.

I often find myself wondering: what is the best system of governance? Most often i say: Monarchy, Tyranny of Excellence.. hence Aristocracy.

Tyrant and Aristocracy, in Greek, are terms that have been vilified; they meant "king" and "rule of the Excellent". (Short thread..) Looking back in the nation that gave birth to Western Ideals, Hellas, i see it thrived under Excellent Monarchs:

Leonidas stood against hordes, Alexander took us to the Indus river, the later kings and "tyrants" led Greece to double itself during world wars.

If you ever wished for a true superhero story, I got the greatest of all time; this team of ancient avengers defined what "hero" meant.

An epic journey, dragons, gold, giant robots and a ship that literally commanded itself through divine power.

This is the Argonautica..⤵️🧵 The story begins with a throne stolen and a prophecy that wouldn’t quit. Pelias, a ruthless warlord ruling Iolcus, had muscled his way onto the throne, shoving aside Jason’s father. An oracle’s words kept Pelias up at night: a man with one sandal would end him.

Can you think of many men who dared challenge an entire Empire?

A gladiator took the fight from the arenas to Rome herself, humiliating the Empire that ruled the known world; this is his story..🧵⤵️ Spartacus was born around 111 BC in Thrace, a rugged land of warriors around Northeastern Greece and its borders with Bulgaria. Likely raised among tribes known for their ferocity, he may have wielded a curved sica sword in raids or as a mercenary.

We often hear of knights in shining armor but tonight, I’ll tell you about the Black Prince.

He had his first victory at 16, left alone by his father to stand and fight.

He became a hard man, chivalrous leader and devoted husband. 'Tis about a boy that won his spurs..🧵⤵️ Edward of Woodstock, born in 1330, was the eldest son of King Edward III of England and heir to the throne.

Known as the Black Prince, he was a central figure in the Hundred Years’ War, a commander whose victories made him a legend; a man who fought for something greater than himself: his nation and family.

This was when England was becoming Great.

“When Greece marches for war, you can smell it”.

This is close to what Aristophanes, the ancient Greek comedian, said jokingly about the brutal realities of war and supply chain challenges in classical Greece.

So what did hoplite armies eat on campaign? When it came to ancient Hellenic warfare, we can roughly divide it in two eras: before Alexander the Great and after.

Part of Alexander’s genius strategy was his supply chain planning and execution. This was a true innovation compared to earlier Greek armies.

The End of the Viking Age happened in 1066; the demise of a single man signified it.

He was the last Great Viking: warrior, poet and a king who carved his name across Europe with a storm of steel and verse.

This is the life of Harald Sigurdsson Hardrada..🧵⤵️ This dude did all the disgusting things men want: he was exiled, escaped, became a Varangian in Constantinople, fought saracens in the Holy Lands, had his revenge, retook his throne and almost conquered England.

SUCH DISGUSTING PATRIARCHY is what I love and you’re getting a big dose of it with this thread; buckle up and prepare for a true norse saga.

The world’s oldest Christian monastery - founded by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian himself – is being closed by a muslim regime.

This is just part of what seems to be a series of "coincidences" against Christians; is the Faith then under attack? 🧵⤵️ Saint Catherine’s Monastery, located at the foot of Mount Sinai in Egypt is part of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem; it houses the world’s second-largest collection of early codices and manuscripts (after Vatican), including the Codex Sinaiticus.

This ancient Egyptian statue has some of the most exquisite carved hieroglyphs.

Its black surface and the details of the carvings made many think it cannot be achieved without laser technology.

But how is this possible if the statue was made millennia ago? (Short thread)⤵️ The stone sarcophagus (not statue exactly) lies in Turin, Italy and depicts Minister Jimenvirbak of the 26th dynasty that ruled Egypt between the sixth and seventh centuries BC.

Accordingly, its age is about 2.5 to 3 thousand years.

We were taught humanity was created by Gods.

But in the oldest myth of all, it was a rebel Titan who created humans and was punished for loving us.

This is the dawn of Myth; a story about humanity’s creator and his epic journey to help us..🧵⤵️ Prometheus stands as one of Greek mythology’s most compelling figures, a Titan whose name, meaning "Forethinker," captures his essence.

A complex character defined by intelligence, empathy, and unyielding resolve to challenge the gods for humanity’s sake.

Alexander the Great and Philip II: Macedonian kings or sons of Hellas?

Time to settle this, once and for all..🧵⤵️ The question of whether the ancient Macedonians were Greek has sparked debate, blending historical inquiry with modern politics. At the heart of this controversy lies the legacy of a people who, under the Argead dynasty, reshaped the ancient world.

Let's see facts⤵️

Pope Francis, 112th Pontifex, has passed and the conclave of cardinals will soon elect its next leader.

Yet an ominous prophecy says that the next Pope will be the last, as Judgment is upon us and “the seven-hilled city will be destroyed”.

Is this the End? 🧵⤵️ The Vatican, steeped in mourning, prepares for the conclave to name the successor. Yet, in the background, a faint murmur stirs—an old prophecy, attributed to Saint Malachy, the 12th-century archbishop of Armagh, that some believe points to the end of the papacy itself.

When we talk of Industrial age we think of the 18th century AD; what if I told you that Hellenistic Greeks came close 1700 years earlier?

In Alexandria, Greeks had advanced hydraulics, magnetic tech and even a jet propulsion system; here’s the Hellenistic Steampunk story..🧵⤵️ We shall focus specifically on Alexandria; founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria was a planned metropolis on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, where the Nile Delta met the sea.

By the Hellenistic period, under the rule of the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty, it had grown into one of the largest and most influential cities in the ancient world, rivaling Athens and later Rome.
