Can I fall asleep to this?
I do 😊 most nights .
I wind up getting interested and watching till it's over. Lol
Yes I have to re-play these over several nights to get through them. 😊
Did you fall asleep to this?
Worked for mw
These are simply the best historical documentaries ever made in my humble opinion 👏
Ur mammy is the best historical documentary ever made in my humble opinion.
These are great, I use them to fall asleep. Might take days to finish it but that's okay.
don’t know how i got here but it’s 2am and im hooked 😂
2:42:40 - 2:42:55 AHHHHHH!!! That has got to be one of the most BADASS things I've ever seen in my life!!!
1:13:07 why is that Spartan sticking his tongue out? 😂
The Krypteia was not an elite force. It was a unit acting as the secret police. Their main objective was to gather information on helots displaying signs of strength and leadership and assassinate these individuals, to ensure no uprising amongst the helots was possible. So, their objective was to preserve the Spartan society, which was heavily relying on the helots as working force, since all their time was exclusively dedicated in the military field.
Also, the 300 Spartans who took part in this battle were not necessary the best of the best, although of course, they were extremely skilled and determined soldiers, as all Spartans were. In fact, Leonidas selected mainly mature men, who already had sons, as to ensure their blood lines. He did that because this was regarded as a suicide mission, right from the start. The 300 were his personal guard, in the context of this particular mission. He was not allowed to take the main army with him, due to an ongoing religious festival. The Spartan customs prohibited initiating military expeditions during this particular religious festival. Of course, it can be argued that the religious festival and the customs were a good excuse for the Spartans to avoid helping the Athenians. Their preference was to battle in the Isthmus of Corinth, i.e. try to stop the Persians from entering the Peloponnese, after allowing Athens to be sacked.
Having said all this, Leonidas achieved his objective. He delayed the Persians, giving the Athenians time to organise. All came to a head during the famous naval battle of Salamis, where the Greek fleet, headed by the Athenian navy, defeated the Persian fleet and virtually ended the Persian attempt to conquest Greece. As a result of this, the city of Sparta never came under serious thread.
1:19:21 they dont make men like this anymore 😢 what show of great bravery and skill . This was a good documentary 🎉
"HAWAIIANS" 2:26:38
4 hours of pure adrenaline! 🗡 From the Germanic warriors who haunted Roman legions to the disciplined Spartan soldiers and stealthy assassins - this is like history's ultimate showdown! Who else is imagining a face-off between these legends?I also have a history channel and I hope everyone can check it out and give me some feedback so I can improve myself.
i love the narrator
All those dissing the Germanic Tribe are ignoring the historical facts. Like Arminius was assassinated by German nobles, and his brother remained loyal to Rome. Imagine if their leaders had united and got over their egos, the Romans would not have conquered those tribes. And as for being conquered, the Romans themselves were conquered because they could not unify too. And we should not lionise the Romans, because they first made many of the same mistakes we're making because we lionise them. We should strive to learn from their mistakes, like failing to evolve as a civilisation.
It's more so that every empire is simply bound to fall. Humans can barely stand one another
But in the end, the Germanic tribes were conquered entirely.
Colonised you mean
@Charlie-jr1on It's colonized is an expression used by modern day cowards. Who, if they lived back then would have themselves been colonized.
False
Uh, yeah, better bone up on your history before you expose your ignorance.
except the one's that literally conquered rome, you mean
There's no soft life for any man
The Thumbnail wouldve made u think they would talk about Spartacus and Crixus😅
Damn on the left warrior on the main picture before you play the video is wolverine from X-Men 😂😂 #hughjackman
Hi from ireland
Within 30s... It's exceedingly dark in the woods at night. To walk silently with a large group would take until morning. ...
There was a time when I lost the trail and fireflies helped me find it...
The Vikings are in untouchable first place😃
Ah, see the Vikings and germanics are different. But that's okay, I had it wrong before too :)
Ever since Cane killed Able things have been dark on this fallen earth.
It goes a lot further back than some Biblical story.
Wasn't Kane against Undertaker?
Abrahamic religious mythology is one thing. The history of humankind is quite something else.
@@davedismantledit’s not just “some biblical story” it’s history
Most of the bibles stories are stolen. @@noahbloedel
Hit a head with a rock at 200 meters I couldn't hit a traget that size with a rifle at that range. Amazing
I couldn sleep til i found out who won 😂
The series The Barbarians was about these tribes and their fight against the Roman Empire
Hitting a target the size of a head at 200 meters is insane, impossible to do it consistently, I think maybe he meant 200 feet but even that would be extremely difficult
I can't speak to the accuracy of the Germanic slingers but the Baleric slingers are legendary.
Baleric islands are off the coast of, and under the Spanish crown. Historically the people there had olive trees and were famous for producing lots of eggs. Unsurprisingly one of the islands there is named Mahon, named after Mago of Barca and is considered the birthplace of Mayonnaise.
Now, be it taking the cattle out to graze, or just letting the chickens out of the coop, such jobs were often left to the young boys in the community. These boys were often given a sling at a young age and expected to learn to use it to protect animals from birds of prey. Eventually they were also expected to hunt small game with the sling, such as rabbits and what not, to feed the family. According to one source these young men were denied their supper until they were proficient with their slings.
Later, these young men could find employment as slingers in Carthaginian and later Roman armies.
If you can hunt dinner with this thing, you can probably hit something 200 m away.
The sling is devastating as a weapon. The main kit you need is a fellow with a strong arm, a leather thong, and stones, which literally is just ammo lying around on the ground, unlike say, arrows, which are a difficult thing to manufacture.
Depending on how you deploy the men, they can obviously provide direct hits to the faces of enemy troops. They were also often deployed on elevations, and by chucking rocks from an angle, make the stone come down on top of the enemy's skull. The stone comes down very fast from such an angle and could punch through the top of a Roman helmet, and crack the enemy's skull. Later Roman auxiliary units were sometimes issued lead ammo, on which they may scratch words like "Catch!" which meant that you could add insult to injury.
These slingers were also lightly armoured and kitted out, so they moved fast, and hurled stones at massed enemy formations, so you could compromise a little bit of accuracy to hit a group far away. At other times, during sieges you could easily hit an unfortunate enemy on top of a wall who wasn't paying attention.
Either way, if the German slingers also had to use their slings to hunt dinner, I imagine that they'd be pretty darn deadly at 200 m with a sling. I'd definitely not want to be on the Roman side of that battle.
Yea, I think same.. Only big chance in salvo with others in same time.
200 m is hella far and decent marksmen woukd have oroblems hitting headshots 10/10 times with even open sighted rifles@rustomkanishka
US Army/Marines train at 300 m. Not head shots though and with modern rifles. Still impressive to hit that consistently
Chivalry traded for cowardice and effectiveness.
Those 300 are looking a bit soft.
"Its the most far known mystery Italy could imagine."
I guess thats true... the rest of the world they didn't have enough information for it to even be a mystery to begin with...
"They took the ash out out of fires and the soot off cooking pots to create camoflauge."
No wonder Africa never had camouflage.
I never heard of Germans before WWI. And I mean as far as their history. I would’ve never thought they were up there with the worlds greatest ancient warriors
A natural pinch point, a kind of battle of Thermopylae of the Roman era
men used to be warriors. now they pitch a fit if their name is misspelled on their starbucks order.
Lol😂
I don't drink Starbucks 💪
My Favorite
Entertaining but new age history
Didn't the spartan's lose most of their battles?
Imagine over 1,700 years later, #JohnChirchill, AKA the Duke of Marlborough, would fight a battle at the site of Varus' base camp of Minden...
28:50 theres a camera in the back ground dont think the Romans had those back then
Berber Rick
Just move on them in the middle of the day...
You made a video about me? 😮
The Roman state of Palastinia did not exist until the 2nd Century AD. It was still Judea in AD60.
1:00:00...only stupid poeple have no fear... the goal is to ignore or accept the fear and do what has to be done. The Romans said it best, you can't choose when you die but you can choose how you die.
arminius gives the order from a bnq plumbers pipe painted gold, huuurrrrah 😂🎉
The old germanic 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪 my people
How can I fall asleep with all that noise 😡😡😡😡
No bones…. Good story though.
En español lo puedo encontrar este documental
Weird thing about them all ... got smashed by the UK everyone of them 😅😅😅
Undefeated world war champs 🏆 2.x defending still ruling 😅😅😅
this is soo innaccurate
You probably have 2.0 gpa calm down 😂
How ?
Explain yourself with at least one example??
Bro we're trying to go to sleep to this, no one cares about accuracy
An expert showed up with no explanation 👌
Did this dude really just say that Jews were like al qaeda?
Congratulations for this monumental production ! For those interested, one of the most thrilling historical novels during the legendary Battle of Thermopylae, is “Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield.
Truly epic.
The path of the Gospel (the Good News)
1Co 15:3-4(Gospel) :
³ For before all things I gave you what I also received, namely, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
⁴ And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures ;
--------
Rev 22:17:
¹⁷ And the Spirit and the Bride say, come; let him also that heareth say, come; and let him that is thirsty come; and whosoever will have living water( Eternal life/Paradise), take of it, without it costing him anything.
--------
And if you put your faith in the Gospel, you will be saved.

Romans 5:1-2:
¹ Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
² Through whom also we have been brought by faith into this grace, in which we stand; and we glory in the hope of the glory of God.
Most dangerous weapon. 2x4. 🤣
Going to have to call the Hawaiian martial art BS..
Love the narrator. But why does it have to be so many different ”experts”. Everything they have to say could be told by the narrator. So many documentaries do the same. It just interrupts the flow of the story telling. And usually they don’t add to the story anything that already been told by the narrator.
Ancient aliens does it to , it's all just fluff and padding
I dont like feminine men but maybe a spartan ❤, though i rather vikings🎉😂
Əla hüsi
The German tribe's that beat Augustus army were not experts only good with ambushing in a real battle they would have gotten stomped by the Roman's
Yeah….and? Its not a tea party. Its men poking holes in each other until the other dies...
so experts at Guerilla WARFARE
This was infantile. The ridiculous, relentless music and melodramtic hyperbole made in unwatchable.
Uii uii uii, fairy tales and hearsay 👋👋
The spartan vs Persia is absolutely not from a historian perspective. Don't deceive people about the truth of what really happen
The British, who went all around the world, stealing, taking by force, murdering and destroying, angry that Hawaians stole their things.
Omg this is just going on and on and not saying much. There were no Germans known as the ghost warriors. They were just Germans fighting. There are much better docs on arminius and the varian disaster.
Looked like some spartan posers
Okk bad Brad lmao
what?!
what?!
WHAT?!
Why can't you make a video on Islam ?
Cos no one cares
They did a video on Bin Laden the terrorist
