i checked out the global x project before it was taken down due to looters using it. it was laser ground radar pictures of middle east from 1960's spy satellites spent a minute looking for the hanging gardens then switched over to the nile. i wanted to check my archeology skills and see if i could tell the difference between a fort and a civilian structure. EVERY INCH of the nile has ruins buried underneath. every island. i couldnt find a spot without ruins. jsut thought you might like to know. i dont think radar pictures will be public anymore. they said looters started using it after only like 2 months

Didn’t realise that even Cairo was originally a Roman fort. What a twist. Great work!

I actually live close to this place, it's called مصر القديمة or "ancient misr". and not surprisingly many cities were built close to this site of Babylon, and eventually all these cities would evolve into modern day Cairo.

I'm Egyptian from Cairo and these are new information for me thanks bro

Thanks to you for the view :) Sometimes we are sitting upon treasures without realizing hahaha

Awesome video, However, I would like to clarify that Babylon became Al-Fostat city not Cairo (Al-Qahera) was build later during the Fatimid’s era. The name Al-Qahera was after planet Mars which was back then called Al Qaher. The name has also dual meaning which could be either the Vanquisher or the Conqueror. The modern Cairo engulfed more than 3 cities within its modern boundaries. “Just a clarification”

I had already heard about this place in the legend of Uorn-the-courageous but in the legend this is the city of Babylon in Egypt, I originally thought that this was a medieval confusion created by the bards to identify what they considered to be a center of evil because in the 10th century Egypt was a center of Islamic culture, but now I understand that they were actually talking about the city of cairo and that they were using the ancient roman names, thanks to the @FilaximHistoria team without you I would never have discovered this.

I believe I have seen one those roman towers in Coptic Cairo when I visited in 2018. I have been in the church of saint George

Romans would mount armies to combat the Rashidun Caliphate but mostly were inexperienced militia easily broken to rout. The professional soldiers of the Eastern Romans were heavily watered down after the recent war with the Sassanids who themselves spent most of their hardened troops. This paved the way for both empires easily losing mass territories, and the Sassanids outright being conquered completely. Byzantines would recover only due to their navy saving their capital, but would never again hold Egypt, or most of the levant.

That is actually the last Roman legion there are records of. This period and transition to a smaller empire due to the Arab conquests is what caused the reorganization of the military to the Themes.

The Romans called Cairo Babylon? I didn't know that.

Hi you made a small mistake. The picture you show at minute 12:00 isn't Cyrus. The image is a mosaic from a church near Milan and depicts St. Ambrose. The mosaic is 200 years older than Cyrus. When you see the full mosaic, you see even the Name of St. Ambrose written obove the Guy

The Romans new Cairo as Khere-Ohe, not Babylon which was in Persia.

Also I am pretty sure that the reason the Romans wanted to keep an eye on the time of the floods of the river was to protect themselves and the fort. As that was their primary goal. I just don't see them intrested in farming.

And here I was thinking the Babylonian Empire built Babylon 1000 years earlier and in Iraq 🤷‍♂️😅. Refering to it as Fort Babylon, might be more appropriate.

Because it was build by the Persian at first place and the Roman modified it and revitalized the canal.

This channel deserves better.

I´ve read something about the more sinister role of the patriarch Cyrus in the Arab incursion - that he made a pact with Amr. Hence, the Copts became independent religiously in Constantinople (some discrepancies between Greek orthodox and Melkite churches) and he is the only patriarch of Egypt, though now under Arab rule. And where are the Copts now?

You are right! But the small region in Cairo was also known as Babylon. I believe it is because it used to house a colony of prisoners from the famous city of Babylon in the East. But think of it as the same way there is a city of Memphis and Alexandria in the USA, even though they are major Egyptian cities.

Babylon was in Egypt? Im sorry what?

Constantinople didn't start as Constantinople.

Such a small force, how did they lose to the Arabs?
