Siege of Damascus 634 - Arab - Byzantine Wars DOCUMENTARY

Previously in our animated documentary series on the early Muslim expansion, we have covered the battles of Yarmouk ( • Battle of Yarmouk 636 ... ), al-Qadisiyyah ( • Battle of al-Qadisiyya... ), Talas ( • Battle of Talas 751 - ... ) and the siege of Constantinople of 717-718 ( • Siege of Constantinopl... ). However, one crucial confrontation in the conquest of the Roman Syria by Khalid ibn al-Walid was missed - the Siege of Damascus in 634. So, now you can learn more about the events which led up to the battle of Yarmouk

    What I don't understand, is that, you went from stating that Muslim accounts regarding Roman numbers were vastly exaggerated to than asserting that the Romans were outnumbered. I found that a bit odd. And also the first engagement Khalid bin Waleed had with Roman forces was in the battle of muta'ah almost a decade before this battle.

    You keep saying that Byzantine was devastated by the war, but what you fail to realize is that they had more than 5 years after the end of the war to restore stability and replenish their resources, on the other hand the Arabs lived almost all their lives as quarrelling tribes and knew no meaning of unity, when Muhammad united them almost 80% of them rebelled and Abu-Bakr had to fight many internal wars in order to restore stability, in the very same year of the rebellion's end he launched his forces not to the Persians only but to Rome as well at the same time, not to mention that their warfare equipment would not be even compared to that of the mighty Sassanids and Byzantines. So when you bring up the fact that Byzantine was exhausted because of the war it gives absolutely no sense to the outcome of conflict with the Arabs, because the Arabs' situation was much worse than Byzantine's, at least Byzantine had more than five years of stability while the Arabs had almost two months before their campaign was launched, and Byzantine had a huge expert of organized government and management while their counterparts had literally zero expert in the manner due to the fact that they used to be divided tribes hating each other and wage war on each other for the stupidest reasons!! In short; the Arabs were the actual side in this conflict to have been truly exhausted by war not Byzantium!!

    NOTE: The nickname sword of Allah was granted to Khalid ibn Al-walid after the battle of Mo'ta(مؤتة) as his charge in dawn against the larger byzantine army at dawn was too risky yet paid off, delaying the byzantines temporarily for the muslim army to retreat in good order. This is the libk in arabic for those who can read it ar.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AE%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF_%D8%A8%D9%86_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%AF And this is in english en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_ibn_al-Walid And also on the battle of Ajnadin, some sources mention that a few days before the battle the byzantines were reinforced by contingents of the Ghassinds, but I am not fully sure, can you confirm whether it is true or not? And btw thanks for the great video hope you will soon cover the Umayyad history and their great battles like the battle of Balinjar.

    It is wisdom of a person who see all of battlefiedl form space... It is actually pretty scary, how a line of infantry can obstruct line of sight of a commander, even when he is on some high vantage point. I mean i saw once people playing at medieval battle- two lines of skrimishers clollided- when another group emerged from behind first one, everyone were surprised, because nobody even saw them coming, until it was too late...

    z a قبل عام 634م كان الروم يحكمون دمشق، وكل سكانها مسيحيون. وعندما هاجمها العرب اقتحموها بقيادة خالد بن الوليد من جهة الشرق.. قاوم الروم دفاعًا عن مدينتهم، لكن خالد هاجم المدينة ذابحًا الأطفال والنساء والرجال ومدمّرًا كل شيء، ونقلت مراجع المسلمين قوله :"لن أرفع السيف عن رقابهم، حتى أفنيهم عن آخرهم". (المرجع👈 الواقدي، فتوح الشام، ص 41) (والواقدي هو من حفاظ الحديث، وهو أقدم وأشهر مؤرخي الإسلام) وقد حاول روم المدينة التفاوض مع المسلمين طالبين إليهم وقف المذبحة وعودة العرب "إلى بلادهم" (أيّ شبه الجزيرة العربية) مقابل إعطائهم مالًا وطعامًا، إلا أن خالد بن الوليد رفض وقال: "ما أَخْرَجَنا إليكم الجهدُ والجوعُ، وإنما نحن قوم نشرب الدماء، وبَلَغَنا أنه لا دم أطيب من دم الروم، فجئنا لذلك". (المرجع👈 ابن كثير، البداية والنهاية، ج 7، سنة 13هجريًا، موقعة اليرموك) وهكذا استمرت المذبحة، وخالد وجيشه يقتلون من روم دمشق حتى فاق عدد القتلى الأبرياء ال 40 ألفًا من مسيحيي المدينة. وكانت المدينة من جهة الغرب قد استسلمت لأبي عبيدة بن الجراح، فأتمّ أبو عبيدة الاحتلال استسلامًا من جهة الغرب، وخالد "قتلاً وذبحاً" من جهة الشرق.

    it is well documented by Coptic Church sources , Cyrus himself sided with Amr and Copts due to sympathy with Muslims and Friendship with Amr from the days he was a trader, refusing to continue the fight and paying Jizya. Amr knew Egypt very well , and with over 500k Romans and Greeks in Egypt , 150k of them able to fight according to the massege sent to Cyrus from Hercalius accusing him of not having the well to fight. even a 100k army is not enough to control Egypt without public sympathy with Muslims , hatered to Romans , and cooperation from Cyrus .

    Youre confused bro! Its not abt making Khaled look smart cse he undoubtly is, but to correct u it was his idea and Rafie was the only man among em who crossed this desert cse none dare! So Khaled told him to guide the army cse Khaled wanted to arrive to Syria as quick as possible.

    Brother, Khalid asked his man about a shorter route towards the Muslim army in Syria cuz the other routes would take alot of time. Rafe told him about the route through the desert but cautioned him that not even small caravans dared to move through it due to the fear of getting lost or dying of thirst. Other seniors also cautioned Khalid to not move through the desert, but it was him alone that decided to move through it despite all the warnings. And it was his strategy to make twenty camels drink alot of water and tie their mouths. The camels were slaughtered during the march to extract the water from their bodies. So it was mainly his decision. What is interesting is that after the journey was completed Rafe told him that he had travelled through this route only once and that also in his childhood days some 30 years ago. Alhamdulilah that Allah helped them and guided them on the right path or things could've been different (na-uzu-billah).

    Precisely it was after the battle of Mu'tah where he was given the nickname as he had broken 9 swords and turned a sure defeat into a strategic retreat that saved many of the men who he would lead at Yarmouk. The confusion comes from his declaration of faith where he said that his blade "would be the sword of Allah". However people just called him Khalid.

    Only one thing bothered me....listen to it a few times over and did my own research into what you have said as well to no avail, so have to ask, what evidence do you have to say that the Muslims greatly exaggerated about the enemy's number being outnumbered? And actually outnumbered them, or is this just your own speculation? I have been studying this era, for about 7 years now as a hobby and began writing a book, from Arab and Latin sources, more or less on the reasrach gathering and connection into my novel. So I am very keen to where this information has come from ....?? Kind regards M

    It's true that there's little information to go by. The whole thing is like a big jigsaw puzzle, which takes careful analysis but taking into account the Byzantine and Sassanid situation, in particular the 20 odd year war between them; the devastating effects of the plague which destroyed the taxation base and the early Muslim conquests between 623 and 632AD. It's not astonishing or even surprising to learn how the Arabs were so successful against the two "superpowers" at the time. They happened to be at the right place and at the right time. This Arab army was a highly sophisticated fighting force, as evidenced in early Muslim accounts where constant battles and expeditions within that 9 nine year period had enabled the Arabs to become battle-hardened veterans long before they faced either the Byzantines (with the exception of the Battle of Mutah) or the Sassanids and on top of that, having a competent commander. Of course they were poorly equiped to begin with but that would soon change with constant raids on enemy supply lines acquiring good quality armour and weapons. Also acquiring a multitude of wealth and arms from fighting and raiding against the Ghassanids, a client state to the Byzantines who formed a buffer zone between the Muslims and Byzantines. The last thing the Byzantines wanted was another war so were content to supply arms and funds to the Ghassanids but this was in vain.

    Fun fact. The Syriac Historian Dionysius reflects at the Arab conquest in a good light, rather than a negative light. He describes his distaste at Roman rule, and especially the more barbaric method of Roman conquest. Such views are reflected by the Coptic patriarch of Egypt when it fell to Muslim rule as well, saying that the Muslim conquest was “A punishment” for the unruliness of the Roman and a “deliverance” for the Egyptian Coptic Christians

And as for the kingdom of Paurava, it had strong neighbors to contend with so it's arguable how much of his army King Porus brought to the battle of the Hydaspes.
