- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2019
- 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

I hope you guys didn't forget to make a video about Ali pasha tepelena king of Egypt???
Is this a rerun to this series (early Muslim conquest)?
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.
I think I know why the Byzantine Commander Thomas decided to focus his troops at The Gate of Thomas......
I am not sure, but it is probably a later name, as in "the gate Thomas used to attack".
@@KingsandGenerals it is a later name but it was a good meme
@@KingsandGenerals Like Luigi Codorna's mountain?

😂😂
By the way the gate of Thomas is still preserved as it is here in Damascus and is referred to as bab toma
I'm surprised that Khalid and his commanders actually accepted such a surrender.
True to their word indeed.
MrMigraine and then he attacked them and the refuges 3 days later. Not so Honorable to me.

Gotta check more about this story, i don’t think he betrayed the Romans just because of a marriage, it’s none sense, he probably was an important officer who was a secret convert...
Khalid legally borrowed ladders and purchased ropes from the monastery instead of forcefully taking them, respect.

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.

@ITS FACTZ wrong claim!! Those claims are in hadiths and in we'll known Islamic history.
Look at all those intellectuals in the comments who think they somehow could have led Persian and Eastern Roman armies better than the generals...
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...

jaden k there was no way the city could survive from that siege..the Muslims would probably conquer that city even without the betrayal of that guy. There’s nothing to blame him

@@luisromanlegionaire This is the stupidest shit ive ever heard
Luis what?! Lol
Luis the Arabs converted Turks to Islam after defeating then in central Asian, so everything Turks have done was because of the Arabs, ever the ottomans were speaking Arabic and dress like Arab kings, even they stole the name “caliphe” from the Arabs, so technically without the Arabs Turks wouldn’t live in Anatolia which was gifted from the Arab Abassyed caliph to the turk tripe
The Tiger The Oguz Turks migrated to Anotalia for two reasons

Whenever I hear Khaled Ibn Alwalweed I know he won the battle.
KebReet and he never loses
Before Khalid Ibn al walid became Muslim he lost a battle vs the muslims but he killed many Muslims and then 5 yrs later he became Muslim
Osaid Fudly before converting to islam he never lost as a (Leader of the army) he only became leader once before converting to islam and he won against muslims
When he lost he was never a leader just a respected knight
Plus the funny onion hat the muslims always wear XD

Another one of the reasons Khalid Ibn Al Walid is considered one of the greatest generals of all time - definitely one of the best cavalry commanders to have ever lived, right up there with the great Subutai of the Mongols
Khalid never lost a battle as far as I know but did Subutai?
@@GGitten Yes, he also never lost a battle.
@@GGitten Subotai also never lost a battle.
@@GGitten Subutai was a beast, he is the only known general I guess, that was successful in the invasion of russian lands ...
Omar Jedidi Poland succesfully invaded russia in the 1600. A polish army reached and occupied Moscow so Subutai was not the only one successfull in a russian invasion
It's this Khalid again. It's like if he is around, the enemies know they are going to lose, it's just a matter of how many casualties.
I got to say that I'm allways baffled how good your videos are. The quality is just beond anything else you can find for documentary videos like this...
Finally another video about Byzantine Empire! Thank so much!
Thanks for watching!
khalid ibn al walid was given the title of Sword of Allah before he even started the wars with sassanids or Byzantine
“She promptly commited suicide for unknown reasons” 😂
Yeah she probably didn't want to marry a man who is willing to betray his city,country and people for just delaying his marriage.
@@jadenk1409 I dunno man, that shows some dedication to the marriage right there.
@@jadenk1409 I don't think that is why because this showed her that he cared about her more than anything.
If it affected her, it was most likely in a good way since any women would be thrilled by this kind of devotion to their lover
@@jadenk1409 but most of the city converted to Islam few years later by their own choise and became a main part of the islamic community and army 😂
@Cegesh Well it is technically wrong, Syria and Egypt stayed majority christian territories for a few centuries after that.
But yes, the conversions were of their own choices

Can you do a special series for Khalid ibn-walid before and after he became Muslim he’s character is the most interesting one in all series he do some mysterious things and surprisingly chocking lol that he went and asked to borrow a ladder was hilarious this man is a genius
@Badr -eddin Serb
read and search his seerah.
Seriously, Khalid ibn Walid needs a series for himself, both in his pre muslim and post muslim life. He’s a general worthy to be part of this awesome series !
ALMUIZ FATIMI
There’s a series about khalid (RA) which was aired on MBC, its in arabic though there is english subtitles.
Roy Riley his use if mobility and light units against heavier troops is just stunning.
He's the only general who defeated the Prophet Muhammad pre conversion. That's the power of Sword of Allah, nothing can stand in his way if Allah wills it, not even prophets. Please make Battle of Uhud documentary.
Prophets in Islam
تاريخ الاسلام هو تاريخ المسلمين، ثم اني مغاربي و لم اطرق بابك و أسألك عن تاريخي أو أن تحزن علي...فما أتى بك ؟
I agree with you
There is more in this man then just war
He had a wonderful poetry when the Romans killed his son after being sent to them by the prophet for negotiates
He sworn to take a thousand knights with him :
جَرَى مدمعى فوق الْمَحَاجِرِ وانْهَمَلْ .. وحَرُّ الغَضَا قدْ زَادَ فى القَلْبِ واشْـتَعَلْ
وهَدَّ فُؤَادِى يَوْمَ أُخْـبِرْتُ نَعْيَهُ .. وضَاقَتْ بِيَ الدُّنيا ودَمْعِيَ قد هَطَلْ
وزَادَتْ بِيَ الأحْـزَانُ والْهَمُّ ضَرَّنِي .. وعَنْ قَـلْبِيَ الْمَحْزُونِ بِاللهِ لا تَسَـلْ
سَـأَبْكِى عَلَيْهِ كُلَّمَا أَظْـلَمَ الدُّجَى .. وما ابْتَسَمَ الصُّبـْحُ الْمُنِيرُ وما أسْـتَهَلْ
لقَدْ كانَ بَدْرًا زَائِدَ الْحُسْنِ طَـالِعًا .. فأَصْبَحَ بَعْدَ النُّورِ والزَّهْوِ قدْ أفَـلْ
كانَ كَرِيمَ العَمِّ والْخَـالِ سَـيِّدًا .. إذًا قَامَ سوقُ الْحَرْبِ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الْوَجَلْ
أحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَيْلُ اللِّئَامِ بِأَسْـرِهِمْ .. وقَدْ مَكَّنـُـوا مِنْهُ الْمُهَنَّدَ والأسَـلْ
فَوَا أسَفَا لَوْ أنَّـنِى كُنتُ حَاضِرًا .. بِأبْيَضَ مَاضٍ لِلْجَنَاحَيْنِ مُنتَصِـلْ
تَرَكْـتُهُمُ وَسْطَ الْمَعَامِعِ جِيـفَةً .. عَلَيْهَا تُسَاقُ الطَّـيْرُ فى السَّـهْلِ والْجَبَلْ
وحَقِّ الَّذِى حَجَّتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِبَيْتِهِ .. وأرْسَـلَ طَـهَ الْمُصْطَفَى غَايةَ الأمَلْ
لأقْتُلَ مِنْـهُمْ فى الوَغَى ألفَ سَيِّدٍ .. إذَا سَـلَّمَ الرَّحـمنُ واتَّسَـعَ الأجَـلْ
My tears have run over the orbits and flowed
And the Heat of the coal has increased in the heart and burneds
And Demolished my heart the day I received his news
narrowed on me the life of this world
And so my tears had falls
increased are my sorrows and the grief harmed me
and about my sad heart ..for Allah's sake don't ask
I will weep for him whenever darkness darks .. hadn't the light of the morning smiles out of dawn yet and started
he was a full moon over charmed rising .. so became after the lightness and Flowering already set
noble was his uncles and his mother's trib as well .. If the market of war raises he did not know fear
Surrounded him horses of the miscreant with their numbers .. They managed him with sword and spear
Oh my sorrow If I were just present ..
I would left them bodies like gathered slain deers
By the right of He whom Quraish(the tribe of Makkah) pilgrim to His house
.. and send the chosen one the hope of hopes
I shall kill from among them a thousand master .. If The Merciful kept me and my age expands
Events you guys should cover:
1. Fitna of Al-Andalus (fall of Cordoba)
2. Battle of Hattin and the Third crusade
3. You know how you do videos about Roman economy and military reforms and how their logistics worked etc, it would be cool if you did more of those for other empires too such as the Persian, Ottoman and Umayyad empires.
They have a whole playlist covering military tactics from Philip of Macedon, through Alexander the Great and covering the evolution of the Roman army. They've recently started to doing videos covering Roman economy. I can link you to a video from History Marche covering the battle of Hattin. The fall of cordoba is somewhat covered on any videos related to the Reconquista. There are videos all over youtube covering that. I'll link you to a video by History Time covering many details of the Reconquista.

He was nicknamed the sword of allah just after his conversion to islam not after the battle of yarmouk
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.
@@SantomPh thank you for the reply, but this is a controversial subject and let me correct one thing he didn't say that his blade would be the "sword of allah" but its the prophet mohammed who said that
We want conquest of Egypt by Amr ibn El A'as by only 4.500 Arab soldiers.
Yes
+12.000. And no offense but I doubt they would ever defeat fortified bizantine positions being outnumbered 6 to 1 according to arab sources
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 .
Cyrus was the head of Malkite Church in Egypt , and knew there would be a prophet after Jesus even Heraclius knew that , so sympathy from him had it's reasons.

The idea of crossing the desert by this way wasn't Al walid's idea...it was Rafa bin Amira's idea...and Al walid let him led the way
True.
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).
@@Trending_Clips4U of course was Al walid decision ....but the idea of crossing the desert by (this way) was rafe idea...look to the source above if u can understand Arabic...
Ah Khalid ibn al-Walid, the Sayf'allah. One of the few generals in human history to have remained undefeated throughout his military career. It's nice to know his tactics are still studied by militaries around the world to this day.
Idk, but I'm pretty sure he's the only one who never had lost a battle.

So are you saying that when Khalid ibn alwaleed reached the city center and technically took over Damascus he honored the surrender, didn’t harm non Muslim places and allowed the defeated army to have three day safe passage? I was wondering if the “civilized” Romans or Sassanids would do the same.
Romans would never fo that. Once city decided to resist the residents were doomed.

Bravo the most clear reconstruction I’ve seen! It makes understanding the possible dispositions and place in the campaign much easier considering you’re not dealing with much source material.
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.
Very nice video well done
I hope to watch something about the crusaders, lion heart and Saladin on your channel soon my regards to you and all the effort to make this great videos
In terms of military reasoning, why the Arabs were so astonishingly successful, on a tactical basis, in so many early engagements about which we know little, is one of the most striking aspects of the ascent of Islam in the 7th and early 8th centuries.
I think it was partly because both the Byzantine and Sassanid armies were thoroughly demoralized from their wars with one another, add unrest among the civilian populations and a highly motivated enemy and you have a recipe for disaster.
@@mysticonthehill no not True The muslims where always outnumbered and some of them didnt even have armor, but they where known as strong firm fighters, arab tradition was wrestling so allot of The muslims soldier where long and muscler soldiers they know how to fight thats why they won and ofcourse with God his help
@@sultanselim8746 not true, they had several companies of invincible battle angel sent to help. Now that's next level of steering the outcome behind the stage, the ultimate schemer.
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.
@@mysticonthehill False
I always love to see your videos.
Keep up the good work!
not even the best military minds of two great empires and cultures could produce a soldier of khalid's caliber to defeat him. This has cemented his place in the annals of military history as a peerless warrior.
During that time the closes one was heracluis
But by the Muslim invasion he was to old
winning every battle from small to large, like a true warrior he went to his grave undefeated. Only time could kill him
@@atilla4155 yeah Khalid was an excellent general
wth,an arab woman at frontline and almost killed the commanding forces.wew,thats some Lord Of The Ring stuff.
No man can take my eye
I am no man
They used to go with their husbands in wars, they stay in the back and they would shoot stones at the soldiers if they retreat
The women came along to protect the baggage train, and were trained to shoot arrows and use slings as well as spears.
In this very campaign Khalwah Al Azar was known to have fought and even commanded troops at the front line. Even when captured and thrown into a women's prison she engineered a breakout and killed 9 men herself.
Women played an important role during early arab conquest
In battle of uhud a woman called nussaiba defended the prophet from khalid who managed to defeat the muslim army
the battles of Khalid Ibn Al walid (when i read about them) i found them to be nothing less than what you read in stories.
for example, Zerar or Derar in Ararbic (the champion the narrator talked about) was captured by the romans in a battle, his sister covered her face and wore armor and tried to fight her way through the romans in order to save her brother, and everyone admired her way of fighting.
and since that Zerar was the favorite wing commander of Khalid, he made a rescue mission to save him from the Romans and bring him back alive, and they actually did in a completely cinematic scene
All talk about khalid , we must also not forget Zarrar
when he charged alone towards byzantine alone.
Thanks again K&G for another morning where I can wake up too one of your videos.
Always excited to see a new video! And Byzantine Wars no less!
Great! more Arab - Byzantine Wars😃
@Yung cash register A.K.A Lil Broomstick but the arabs won in the end i believe, it was during the battle of ain jalut or something like that
@Yung cash register A.K.A Lil Broomstick baghdad that time have no glory like past
Zarrar (Darrar) never wore armour in the battlefield, he always fought his shirt off in the battlefield.
Small details really could make a big change in warfare.
great as always
thanks
hopping more videos about khalid ibn el walid
I think all the major battles are now covered, but we'll see.
7 back to back videos about actual real world history i love it.... But i guess that means we're about to get like 10 G.O.T. videos soon tho

No "Mobile warfare" idea of desert warfare tree.
Really because his strategy seems to mirror a lot of blitzkrieg than line battles of ancient warfare.
This era is basically CK2 and Imperator Rome hybrid in scope.
Thanks for your efforts, keep it up👍🏼
As someone who was born and lived for ~22 years in Damascus, I would like to thank you dearly. I love your videos in general... but this one specifically was special to me. I especially loved the map used in the siege... I could identify the gates of the old city as they are an integral part of my childhood memory having passed through many of them countless times when I was young.
Great as always! We missed those episodes about early Islamic conquest from rashidin caliphate to Umayyad and Abbasid
Thanks for watching!
@@KingsandGenerals no problem, but I think you should do episode about Khalid tactics in battles because he genius more than any commander in his age or even better than many others!:)
That one guy Leroy Jenkins his way through Byzantium archers
Byzantium archers:Oh my god just ran in.
Zarrar Ibn Al Azwar and his sister Khawla Bint Al Azwar. Look them up.
They had fearsome reputations for performing many heroic deeds.
Great work.I always wait for ur new post.
Thanks!
I've recently come across this channel. This channel provides so much informative video with good presentation. Would you plz make a video on the "Battle of Khandok"? I would be so much glad if you make a video on this.
Thanks, will consider!
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
"Hi local monk, my army would like to 'borrow' some ladders."
That detail is hilarious.
@@franglish9265 and the guy whose marriage was interrupted.these kinds of fake and stupid excuses as details are used by bazantine writers or christian writers has been used
@@the_kekromancer9779 i am sure about one thing that your historians try to made a very biased history to make them look glorious .dude that islam force defeated romanpersian army at the same time with inferior weapons and armours etc.so i am pretty sure they didnt needed a traitor .stop making excuses and accept the history .
@@the_kekromancer9779 you made a good point but at after defeating two empires wealth was no longer issue .they lost because it was way too away from home and christians had superiorty in sea also extreme cold weather which arabs were never uses too
also 30 years khilafat was ended with ALI (R.A). and ummayad bastards took over and it became kingship just like byzantine and peraian empire .all that moral was gone and death of Hussan and Hussain(A.S) and their family .that was the most tragic moment in our islamic history .
dude i like to know history without being biased thats the only way to learn from history
"yes... just take em. take whatever you want. we don't want no trouble..."
These sieges battles are the best, the level depth of details available is astonishing.
What a fun siege this was. Risks, gambles, so many dead, and a betrayal. What a fine drama. Whoever made this video a reality. Great job.
Correction:
The flag of Rashidun CALIPHATE was not Green indeed it was White & black with the Islamic Takbeer & The Shahada.
Actually it was fully black
Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him had a flag called ( The Eagle ) راية العُقاب
And is’s black and white with the Shahada and the Takbeer on it .
But other flags were used as well green and white white and black many of them .
What great job .. well done
But can you cover the conquests of Muslim ruler Harun Al Rashid the caliph of the abbassid dynasty
Excellent historical video. Efforts of entire King and Generals team are highly appreciated. Hats off to you sir

On a very basic level, Thomas seems like he was a fairly committed dude. Even though he was unable to be successful, he's one of those little known historic figures who really deserves his story told and his attempt respected. Thanks for the top notch content kings and generals. I personally appreciate you for bringing a man like Thomas to the fore of the narrative. Win or lose, by all accounts these are the men iv always respected. And props to Abu abaida for his practical and sensible decision and beliefs.
no power on earth can defeat you when Allah is with you
as usual , high quality stuff from Kings and generals ! Well played guys keep it up
Damn love this channel
Keep it up
Nice job
Thank you!
Thanks for the great content, waiting for Abyssinian & Portuguese empires vs Adal & ottomans empire-battles in Horn of Africa
Habessinia is a better spelling. Since we are Habesha.
HistorywithNathe I used Abyssinia because is in English that's how the foreigners say it , and I'm foreigner
Khalid crossing desert is usually undersold
it is akin to Hannibal and Napoleon crossing of the Alps
Its harder to market some arab crossing the dessert with camels whom he eats later then a legendry general who defeated the romans and crossed war elephants on a mountain.
Well, while he won some battles he ultimately lost the war
and have you tried drinking water from a camel?
Hannibal crossing the Alps because that's something the Romans would not expect was practical and ingenious. Napoleon just did it for reputation. Khalid bin Waleed crossed the dessert because he was told to he some where ASAP. So just like Hannibal he done what the enemy didn't even consider doable and won the day.
Perfect a video right on queue for lunch!
Great Video!! (As always)
I like watching about Arab-Byzantine wars because there's so many cool stories you hardly find anywhere else such as one guy who Leeroy Jenkins'd his way through the Roman centre or that other guy who told Khalid went to attack because the city delayed his marriage for the siege only for his fiancee to pop herself off later on.
Are you planning to make an army tactics video on arab/persian or tartar armys just as you did with the roman and macedonian armys
Kings and generals, you make really good historic videos of good quality! Go on,
@@retvrntotradition4454 amin
Thanks!
Very good video i was very surprised when i see video of this Byzantine siege thank you for this informations
5:37
zrar was not havey armed indeed he is known that he fight half-naked. one of breavest man ever.
Its good that u've added a story of love to this siege that will minimize holy wars in comments between fanatics from both sides.
Still, there is a lot of fanatics ...
Thanks for a new video :)
your videos are amazing!
“Thomas lost his eye to the widow of an Arab soldier” Ancient Arab Nanny at her best 🤣. Also my poor boi Jonah... feelsbadman
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

The plan to let the camels go thirsty for several days and then let them drink lots of water and march in the desert was actually the idea of an Arab Nomad.
This gives me flashbacks, feels like it was yesterday
Really ? Do I need to tell you it is a joke
