Rostram1369, The Sassanid empire =/= the persian emprie. I am talking about what is colloquially called THE Persian empire, ie: the Achaemenid/Persian Empire that was ultimately put in power by Cyrus the great, and overthrown by Alexander the Great. They seemed to have a great C&C infrastructure with their various governors, were handling rebellions well, still had a lot of wealth, troops, and people loyal to them in a lot of the more important places. They seemed to be just overthrown from without by Alexander. And of course, the inability to conquer greece in the centuries prior, but that still wasn't from within.

In other words, that wicked fool ruined the entire WORLD until this day (and I hope that the meaning of this statement is fairly obvious).

Ironically enough the Sassanids had no one to blame for this but themselves. A few decades prior to the big arab expansions they had destroyed one of their client states, the arab Lachmids, who had functioned as a reliable bastion against any potential attacks from the arabian peninsula or the South-west in general. This caused a power-vacuum that the new direct persian administration was unable to fill, which gave the newly united arab tribes the perfect opening to strike.

Persia/Iran is an interesting country. It's like the gate to east for the westerners, and the gate to west for the easterners, also the gate to the Central Asian steppes (north), and India in the south(-east). In a way it's in a similar position as Russia, and those nations have some sympathies towards each other. And the core country of Persia is mostly protected by mountains, it's like a natural fortess. A 'plug' between Asia and Middle-East/Europe. Just think: there was only one country between Rome and China - Persia. I think Persia is there to stop any one empire to grow too big. If Rome and China united - they would have ruled the whole world eventually. Or if they ended up in a power struggle, like empires often do, they would have burned the world.

Amazing video! Slight mistake at 1:43, the Shahnameh ("Book of Kings") was written by the persian poet Ferdowsi, around the year 1000 CE, some 500 years after Khosrau I. It was written to preserve the memory of their persian ancestors in the midst of cultural displacement by the Arabs. The book which Khosrau had commissioned was the Khwaday-Namag, ("Book of Lords"). It was written to preserve their own history, and may have even recorded information about the Achaemenids and Parthians, but this book is now lost. By the time of Ferdowsi, the Persians did not know too much about their ancient ancestors, and it was before the works of Herodotus had been translated to Farsi. So during that time, the Persian scholars would rely on Jewish sources such as the Old Testament to gleam whatever information they could about their ancient ancestors such as Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes. They had even forgotten that the ruins of Persepolis was built by Darius, and so they called it Takhte-e-Jamshid, which means "Throne of Jamshid", attributing it to an ancient mythological king by the name of Jamshid. It was only in the last 150 years through archaeology and the deciphering of cuneiform that the truth started to come out.

One third became the part of the Ottoman Empire. The other two third parts of Hungary became an Ottoman and a Habsburg vassal. This is also a beginning of an era when Hungary has been continuously fucked and became the Habsburg dynasty puppet. Hungary never could recover from this. Indeed, battle of Mohács was one of the biggest tragedies in Hungarian history. Despite this, Ottoman series is one of my favourite series on this channel, and cannot wait this battle.

In previous years, Russian scientists discovered Tang Dynasty stone steles on Sakhalin Island to prove that Sakhalin Island was the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The relevant records of the Tang Dynasty also stated that when soldiers marched far away, they saw colorful lights (aurora) in the sky. This shows that the Tang Dynasty reached North Siberia as far as the Tang Dynasty, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the video is indeed marked as small.

@KingsandGenerals

5 жыл бұрын

That is hard to do with Justinian and Ottoman. Stylistically they are different, also, the storyline between episodes are not connected well. Technically it is easy to stitch videos up, but it will be the combination of episodes, not a full movie.

Very interesting, well presented and made. Subscribed.

Great video, and I'm glad you're continuing to do stuff on Persian and Chinese history, but I am also somewhat annoyed by the little mistakes, like nails on a chalkboard for a pedant. Why was Roman Britain not part of the empire in your map of the entirely united Roman Empire? It was a province until 410 AD, long after the Sasanian Battle of Hormozdgan in Iran in 224 AD. And for that matter you misspelled it as "Hormozgan" without a "d", which I don't think is some alternate spelling.

Also, at 7:00 you show several sculptures of the Chinese Tang dynasty when talking about Sasanian Persians, but these statues, while probably showing people of the Zoroastrian faith, were Sogdians (an Eastern Iranian group) who weren't necessarily under Sasanian rule. In fact, at least one of those sculptures is a Sogdian from the 8th century, a considerable while after the Sasanian Empire had fallen to the Rashidun Caliphate.

Extremely interesting topic really. So maybe, taking in account the sassanid-tang relations, during the battle of Talas some sassanid commanders fought alongside the Chinese. Also, a small note, Bactria is the name of the region next to Khorasan. Bactra (now Balkh) is the name of its capital city.

It was a great video of a very interesting story! Thank you! 💖💖💖

Great video of lost history, thank you.

“Your highness Maurice has been killed! “Who did it?” “Phocas!” “I want his name not what he is!!”

When Peroz III sent for help to the Tang Dynasty, the reply from the Tang emperor was: “how would I help you against people who fear no death and could remove the tops of mountains if they wished” referring to the Muslim Arab army.
