Archbishop Makarios - Saint or Sinner Video Intro Link https://youtu.be/i6bQnFi20Ds
The man who shaped modern Cyprus. As a Archbishop he was revered by most, as a politician he divided the country. From being expelled to the Seychelles to returning triumphantly to become the President of the Republic of Cyprus. Enosis - union with Greece was his aim, but in the end it brought despair and a divided country. We'll follow the life of this interesting man and the impact he had on Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.
Crete and The Minoan CivilisationAROUND 3000 B.C., the Mediterranean Sea hosted one of the most advanced civilizations of that time, and perhaps the first empire based on control of the sea.

ATHENS - How The Parthenon Lost It's MarblesAthens is at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. The city is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings like the Parthenon temple.
The Elgin Marbles are sculptures from the Parthenon, a temple on the Acropolis, Greece, built in 447–432 BC and dedicated to the goddess Athena.
The sculptures were purchased from Lord Elgin in 1816 but the Greek Government disputes their ownership and wants them back.

AYIA SOPHIA - A History through the ages.Ayia Sophia is an enormous architectural marvel in Istanbul, that was originally built as a Christian basilica nearly 1,500 years ago. Much like the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Parthenon in Athens, the Hagia Sophia is a long-enduring symbol of the cosmopolitan city. However, as notable as the structure is itself, its role in the history of Istanbul—and, for that matter, the world—is also significant and touches upon matters related to international politics, religion, art and architecture.
