Very awesome video. I love it when overlooked kings,generals, leaders are given proper recognition for their triumphs. At the time of Tigranes the Great the Seleucid Empire was a shadow of it's former self. The defeat they suffered against the Romans at Magnesia in 190 bc put them on a slow but steady decline as the dominant power in the East.
ArmenianPatriot,if I'm not mistaken,Mithridates VI of Opontus,was famous for having a legendery memory and apparently he could speak about 25 languages and was able to address his soldiers in the army by name and in their own tongue.I presume he must have also been fluent in Armenian.
My Armenian pride I will not hide My Armenian race I will not disgrace My Armenian blood flows hot & true My Armenian peeps I will stand by you Thru thick & thin till the day I die Our Armenian flag always stands high I yell this poem louder then the rest Cause everyone knows Armenians are THE BEST!!!! Armenian pride in my mind Armenian pride in my mind So step aside and let me through Cus it's all about the ARMENIAN CREW!
Thank you for posting this piece of our wonderful heritage. I suppose that you have also read about the significance of Tigran The Great's stars on his crownI can not remember all the details, but it represents the passing of a shooting star during his lifetime.
Now there is a place called armenia where everybody inside is looking for an escape from and a place which can not be found in the world map as being a point.
A recent ABC News article on May 19, 2004 noted that according to the Armenian and Italian researchers the "symbol on his crown that features a star with a curved tail may represent the passage of Halley's Comet in 87 BCE."[11][12] Tigranes could have seen Halley's comet when it passed closest to the Sun on August 6 in 87 BCE according to the researchers
Been a year since I first watched this video, but I still enjoy watching and reading it. Hollywood really should make a movie about Tigranes the Great, as long they don't make it in the '300 style'.
i think u r very humble my friend, :) besides u can use Gevork Marzbeduni by Muratsan as well, i bet u've read it more than once ;)) nice job, God bless u
The Syrians were smart and they knew that Seleucid was a declining power, a shadow of what it once was, and they knew that Tigran was an energetic, and ambitious king with lots of potential. Theres more reason but that is the major one why they chose him
I think Armenia and Georgia needs eachother more in the future. Azeri's and Turks are getting stronger and stronger. It is important that they help eachother. After all, you are both Orthodox Christians, and that is more important then your origin. Armenians as Aryan Christians, Georgians as Caucasian Christians and we as Semite Christians needs a brotherhood!
In addition to that they were wracked by several succession wars caused mainly by the male members of the Seleucid Royal family, although Rome and the Ptolemies also instigated many of these conflicts. I'm a big fan of Seleucid history, and I guess you could call me a 'Seleucid Patriot' even though I'm not of either Greek or Middle Eastern descent.
Well thats what I said, but if you are saying that he is right, than you are agreeing that Armenians first established a presence in Jerusalem during the cruseades and not earlier than that.
on your video it gives the immpression that he lost the first battle with Luculus becouse the greek merceneries betrayed him and open the gates. wile maybe after the battle maybe this hapent, i dont know, Tigranes lost the battle becouse his elite forces, the Kataphrakts were in a bad position, witch Luculus take advantage and beat them (Plutarch) the fled of the Kataphrakts make his army collapse, since the infantry relie on the Kataphrakts to win the day. friendly greetings from Greece.
Well if you research the history of Jerusalem than you would know that Tigran went down as far as Jerusalem and conquered the city. That was when the presence of Armenians in Jerusalem was established. And I agree with you that later on during the crusades more Armenians began to arrive in Jerusalem but that was definintely not there first time there. Its like saying the Armenian Quarter was established after the Armenian Genocide when survivors fled to Jerusalem in large numbers.
He did not seek war with others. He is a peaceful king. And i Ask u . WAT KING or RULER does stuff for other People?? He has done the impossible for armenians. Defeated Romans in a battle. Greatest extent of his kingdom. he conquered jerusalem. Kept the persians out of his lands. and people loved him.
i think your wrong about the reason why Luculus lost his generaship of the east. the romans did not have heavy loses. the reason was that luculus as general of the ast, use his authorities to delete the taxes of the population of asia minor during the years of the last mithridatic war, becouse the land was waste and thousand was killed by both parties. that ofcourse make angree those who had interests from the taxes, and Pompey use it to take luculus place in general of the east
The map is totally inaccurate, it shows that we didn't conquer Jerusalem, Trabzon, Ecbatana, and it shows a premature Armenian Empire (not when it was at its fullest extent.)
Many mistakes. The map was inaccurate Pontus was a vassal of the Armenian kingdom, and Armenian always controlled Trabzon and Cappadocia. After taking the title "King of Kings" in Ecbatana he dismantled the Seleucid Empire and therefore inherited all of its land including all of Mesopotamia. And he conquered Jerusalem. Also Syria did not "offer" him the crown they were scared shitless and Tigran took it from them.
The official name of the Church is the One Holy Universal Apostolic Orthodox Armenian Church so you are also Orthodox and your view about Georgians is your problem. Armenia will be alone if you are hating everyone.
Nice this is a start for ppl to start knowing their history ... Cant we Us Armenians have a real movie on Digran or Vartan Mamigonian.. thats all were missing.. we hear alot of the Greek romans persian and everything around our counrty other then ARMENIA ITS A PISS OFF.. Anyways GJ and continue ..!

He couldn't conquer Mesopotamia And he lost all of the lands he conquered to the Parthians and the Romans And Armenia itself was raided by Parthians and Romans Tigranes didn't even defeat a Parthian or Roman army

@GRKFRK I love my Greek brothers.
The Greatest Armenian King Of Kings Of All Time
Agreed.
Well thats what I said, but if you are saying that he is right, than you are agreeing that Armenians first established a presence in Jerusalem during the cruseades and not earlier than that.
Respect from your Greek brothers...
THANKS MY NAME IS ACTUALLY TIGRAN pretty funny I really needed this for a school project
Tigran le grand, élevé au rang de roi des rois par ses voisins frontaliers à l' époque.
on your video it gives the immpression that he lost the first battle with Luculus becouse the greek merceneries betrayed him and open the gates. wile maybe after the battle maybe this hapent, i dont know, Tigranes lost the battle becouse his elite forces, the Kataphrakts were in a bad position, witch Luculus take advantage and beat them (Plutarch) the fled of the Kataphrakts make his army collapse, since the infantry relie on the Kataphrakts to win the day. friendly greetings from Greece.

Don't be sad because your country isn't even older than ketchup :(
He couldn't conquer Mesopotamia
And he lost all of the lands he conquered to the Parthians and the Romans
And Armenia itself was raided by Parthians and Romans
Tigranes didn't even defeat a Parthian or Roman army
