Herculaneum Scrolls RECITED in GREEK

In short, Plato was named such because he was the original "big brain" before the meme

wow amazing??!! the technology uncovering this is so great!

Fascinating!

Superb thank you. I dont like to go there but it is very depressing how this fascinating information was (mis)communicated in our pig ignorant "mainstream"media.

Many thanks for making this fraction of text available to all.

You are amazing, Luke. Thank you

Now we know! A Chaldean Mage poisoned Plato!! 🤣

Giant ^^

Thank you so much for doing this. I had chills down my spine the whole time, almost teared up. I couldn't thank you enough.

you should inscribe that into the prop

Moral of the story: Never trust a flute player.

The age Plato died is very symbolic of his life. 8 + 2 = 10, which is a noble number.

I share in your excitement at the wonder of experiencing these new scrolls in the voice they would be read in. I hope some of the scrolls turn out to be in Latin as well.

It's so exciting, recovering words long lost - and not just tax records! Actual human substance. Thank you for breathing life back into this text. Imagine telling the original author how future generations came to read these thoughts.

This find, and hence this VIDEO, is a world treasure. 'Nuff said. Also, pat in the back for me for understanding some of this text without translation. The extensive reading is really paying off. 🤓

The other treasure being a rare reference to “The Critic” glory be

The ancient accent makes me (a modern greek) feel that I'm listening to a cassette tape of modern greek recording being chewed by the player 😂

You have an Italian accent (when speaking Greek, not so in English). It's a shame to put all this effort to reproduce an ancient and lost pronunciation. Still it's an amazing feat (and maybe I'm biased that you don't use modern Greek pronunciation).

Dude had a 5head lmao

You're very handsome

I have taken three Latin courses at the Ancient Language Institute, and it is fantastic. The facilitators are knowledgeable, clear and warm.

This was better. Good to not start immediately with an ad but to segway into it like this

Your pronunciation of 'Fleischer' is pretty impressive

Can you make a video about greek dialects like Cretan and Pontic greek who make a τσ sound instead of a κ sound?

Thank you for the excellence, it is very much appreciated. I would like to ask about the word μέτωπον. In my search for translation and correct interpretation I find an Ancient Greek version of a portmanteau. μέτωπον [ μετά, ὤψ ] appears to be a blended word. I wonder if this makes any difference to the interpretation and ultimate translation of the word. Could it be possible that there are deeper meanings than simply forehead?

I'm so looking forward to what other texts come out of the Herculaneum project.

I may not be able to read or speak ancient Greetk, but I can read German! So I'm going to take a look at that website.

Lets go dig him up!!!

What I'm hoping for is that some of the missing books of Homer are one of those carbonized scrolls.

Εύγε τέκνον φίλτατον

Thanks! Very cool!🎉

Where's the complete scrolls online? Does anyone have a link?

I have passed through Naples twice. So nice to hear something that I could not have known then. To converse is to chatter. To read is to know for sure.

We need people like you. Thank you.

So good, thank you Luke.

"Pompeii: The New Dig" on PBS in 3 Episodes rapped up last week and is now available online. It's also the biggest archeological dig at Pompeii for a generation.

I can't believe I was able to translate the first sentence about where he was buried. This is the coolest thing ever Greek is awesome

Given that it is Pride Month and I am obviously an attractive man after whom many Romans would have emulated themselves, I figure I would celebrate by teaching you all the terms in Latin for how to have great sex regardless of where you are on these spectra. In nine months, I'll teach you all about how to raise a baby such that their native language will be Latin. Lesson one: How do we write double entendre in graffiti on the walls of Pompeii before 79 CE?

Dear Mr. Rainiery,

Shouldn't these texts be conciddered apocryfull;
They are an A.I rendition of a scanned scorched scroll,
which we then interpret, based on what the computer spat out.

That's a great way to forge all sorts of hoaxes.

Then again; With this mentality,
We may as well reject all of ancient litterature as christian forgeries.

Your Greek pronunciation is immaculate
Looking forward to meet you in Greece!

Thanks to you, Luke!

Great job on the video as always!
Anyhow, I was wondering whether you were planning on making videos on Ancient Greek grammar. You are one of the few ancient language teachers on this platform that actually knows them to the point where you could explain them without making awful mistakes about pronounciation and the origin of stems. I think that some videos of yours about this topic would be awesome.

I can read and understand all

Based on repeatedly translated and differently interpreted ancient texts (are they authentic?), we can't know exactly how things really were. One thing can be said with confidence: life was oh, how difficult for most.

Salvē Lūcī, grātiās tibi prō pelliculīs tuīs, ūtilēs attractīvaeque sunt. Possīsne dē postclassicā prōnūntiātiōne linguæ latīnæ, quam Cōnstantīnus sīve Theodosius locūtī sint, pelliculam facere ? Quia nōn sciō num ut lingua prōto-rōmānica aut ut lingua latīna classica, aut ut aliquis aliud prōnūntiāta est. Grātiās tibi iterum agō, valē !🏛🫒🏺🌿

dont u find it strange that the letters the ai identified on the scrolls are byzantine greek letters not koine greek?

Try to speak old latin with italian highschool students (Liceo Classico) who learn that language every day, it would be really interesting
