The Sassanid Empire was weakened after the war of 602-628 against the Byzantine Empire bit.ly/2BLg5lV and their defeats at al-Qadisiyyah bit.ly/2QwTBvL and Nahavand at the hands of the Caliphate forces effectively ended the empire. Still, representatives of the House of Sasan continued resisting and found allies - the Tang dynasty in China.

Fun fact : after the bastard An Lushan rebellion ,Tang China was financially devastated meaning she could no longer afford to pay Persian and other foreign nobles and ambassadors benefits so instead they were converted into the Tang military and started being paid wages for military service.

"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." W. Durant
Not really sure this applies to the Persians...
The Doom From Latveria I think it does. Before they were toppled, the Persians continuously had bad transfers of power (assassinations, deposings, etc), which weakened their empire from within.
@@adrianbundy3249 check out extra credits Khosrow video series and you'll see how the sassanids weakenen themselves so bad
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.
@@adrianbundy3249 not actually, if you read the history of Persian empire (50 years prior to the Alexander's conquest) you will find out about some details that eventually caused the fall of the Achaemenid Empire... for instant the structure of armies
So, Phocas ruined both Romans and Sassanids.

sassanids had a real game of thrones
@Blue Dude but did all have exactly 7 great houses!!? You should research about seven ruleing houses of ancient Iran.. especially the Parthian and Sassanian's era!!
In Sassanian's time these seven clans/houses were called:
1. House of Karen
2. House of Mihran
3. House of Suren
4. House of Zik
5. House of Varaz
6. House of Ispahbudhan
7. House of Spandiyadh
@@1911Zoey not all had exactly seven royal houses!! The Parthian and Sassanians had exactly seven kingdoms to rule and seven different great houses to rule a part of it!! The title "king of the kings" has a reason behind it!
@@persianguy1524 not exactly Persian, but of Iranian origin.. Parthian weren't Persian
@@persianguy1524 that's just a claim to legitimize their rules! They were of Parni origin, which in reality weren't even of Parthian origin, but of Saka! They conquered Parthia first, and from there they pulled the name . In reality it's called Arsacids clan/Dynasty

I'm not normally one to get very emotionally invested in stories from ancient history, as much as I enjoy them, but Peroz III's story really got me. Hearing his last words got me a little bit misty-eyed. It might be naive of me, but this seems like a rather wholesome tale of friendship between cultures, at least until the last part.
You're not persian but when you heared it you got misty eye imagine you be a persian 🙂😞
@@ariyanadf5225 I hope you people can get back your homeland and your freedom. This whole thing is one of the greatest tragedies of history.
@Weasel Arabic culture also received a lot of persianisation over the centuries, cultural exchange is a natural and unavoidable occurrence and it often goes both ways. You can't expect a culture to stay the same and remain uninfluenced by it's neighbours forever, that would be ridiculous. Cultures influence eachother, that's just how it works.
@@noblenormie1179 stop spreading your shitty Islamic ideology
@@noblenormie1179 Islam belongs to Iraq and Saudi arabia stop your shitty Islam ideologies
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.
The Lakhmids and Ghasanids stayed loyal until they became Christian and the Persians were being kind of unPersian to Christians at the time and lost the control over the Arab tribes of Mesopotamia.
King Wiwuz IV not even that, If the Persian king listened to his Generals and defended his cities instead of looking down of the Arabs and sending his troops to fight the Arabs in their own desserts, Persian empire wouldn't have fallen.
They is not an arab invasion this is an islamic conquest with muslims persian contribution even greater than any other
@@farajaraf Yes the Persians had let their animosity towards the Byzantines get the better of them and had been destroying churches and exterminating Christian populations.
@@alimoradi8454 you are high or something. It was all but an Arab Invasion with a bunch of traitors aiding them.
In 1955, a tomb was found in China, which belongs to general Su Liang's wife. The tombstone says that she was dead in 874 and she was a Sassanian. She was Su Liang's wife and also his daughter, and they still believed in Zoroastrianism. That is 166 years after the death of Narseih
"She was Su Liang's wife and also his daughter" - Classic Persians. I see Xwedodah was quite popular still.

Interesting. I knew the Sassanid family escaped to China, but I didn't know the specifics of it. This was pretty interesting and a great way for a bad day to get better.
Very sad today Persia is dominated by evil Islam.
They were once a great civilization having diplomatic and trade relations with China for over 2000 years,older than most nations today.
+太守苏定交趾
Well, Islam need not be evil, but using any religion in politics often (but not always) leads to bad results. Iran and Saudi Arabia are both Islamistic (aka, practice political Islam), and are, indeed, amongst some of the worst regimes out there today. So, while not completely correct, you aren't far from being.
An awful lot of Persians fled to India also, and the Zoroastrians are referred to as the Jews of India due to their huge success in India. I wish the best for them, they seem like an awesome lot. No religious dogma to be found relative to their awful conquerors.
@@HistoryandOtherStuffwithBV Problem with Islam is its universality and religious xenophobia but not its politics (unity between a state and a church). Romans and Greeks practiced civil religion in its true form (unity) but they were never "fundamentally" invasive in such manner (they were xenophobic in "civic" sense, but not in a religious way) like Islam and even Christianity.
Xenophobic religions are a disease - Christianity and Islam.
just because people do evil things under Islam doesn't necessarily mean Islam is evil.
I didn't know the Persian Sassanians directly contacted the Tang Chinese, interesting stories of the Silk Road... Like the contacts between Rome and China, or the Greeks of Bactria and China
Well we got a lot of foreign stuff in Chang'an and there was a market that sold foreign goods during Tang
Bactria is modern day aghfanistan and truly aghfansitan was known as graveyard of impires
@@LauftFafa That description didn't show Afghanistan as a whore of Persia or any other empire, but the rape victim. They are also often blamed for the bad done upon them.
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.
f@@LauftFafa are you serious by saying that Liu Bei was intended to flee to Persia??
I can't believe I only found out about this channel just now. Central Asian history is so mysterious and awesome! It is never mentioned in our history classes.

Khosrau Anushirwan no emotions , just business King
@issareign You must be fun at parties
Your works endured
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.
@@userwsyz Those are the greek versions of the ancient persian kings Kurosh, Dariush, and Khasharyashah
I'm an Iranian and this narration was so sad, I had a bit info about king Yazdgerd and his death but i hadn't known anything about his sons in China. I think that the story of the last king of ancient PERSIA can be adapted for a good film in Hollywood
I feel like it could be even better if it's a tv show. Imagine having all of what he said from Khosrow Parviz to Narsieh on a well written and uncensored tv show on Iranian National TV or something. And then we could have a prequel with Ardeshir sassani rising to power

the Huge difference between the Greco/Roman empires and the Iranian ones of ancient times (Achaemenids, parthians and Sassanids) is that the iranian ones were all ruled by a single Family dynasty , the sassanid dynasty originated from the Achaemenid family, the parthian family intermarried with the achaemenids, so you could say a single family ruled Iran for 1,250 years. all were descendents of Cyrus the Great.
Interesting and well prepared. A point to note and correct, Shahnameh was not written during Khosraw 1 reign, it was written much later in the 11th century.
Thank you! Yes, the initial line was "parts of the Shahnameh were created during the period", but I guess, lost part of it during narration.
Holyshit this video was amazing! You have no idea how much it means to me! I'm Iranian and I love our history but it never gets a good Shake Online. thank you for telling me the history I had no idea about.
Some Sassanid people ran to Western India and kept their Zoroastrianism belief who was called as Parsi people, and maybe that was fortunate.

I'd love to hear about the migration and eventual settlement of fleeing Persians (Parsis) to India. Love your content as always!
There are more parsis in iran than in india. The exodus happened in 900 AD with the Turkish taking power in caliphate
Thank you Sir for this and many other videos you did amazing to see history with such vivid visualizations
You made my day complete thank you

I saw a similar documentary on TV about the exiled children of past rulers trying to reclaim their homeland - although one of them had dragons, which probably helped.
Huh, good one :-)
Wow. How Fascinating it is!

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.

Later during the lushan rebellion arab would send armies to help thse tang dynasty.
Lmao “Armies”? No. Contemporary estimations range from 1000-3000 soldiers. Possibly mainly Persians. A minuscule force.

A small group of these fleeing sassanids arrived at Gujarat in India and formed the parsi community of India. There's a beautiful story regarding their migration. When the parsi ship reached Gujarat and asked for refuge, the local king refused it stating that there enough cultures present and one more would only bring more problem to him. The parsees promised that they will never conquer nor convert any native people for which the king agreed and gave them refuge. The parsees kept their word even after so many generations and never have they conquered nor tried to convert the natives to their religion. Almost 25% of India's millionaires are parsees. (pls forgive my bad English)
As far as I know a few hundreds later after Arabs conquered Iran, second big Parsi migration happened to India. I think many are still in the cities like Pune. Are you a Parsi from India?
TJ D. There wasn’t a substantial migration when the Arabs first conquered Persia, they were treated well and were the dominant religion in the area even centuries after the Muslim conquests because they were allowed to practice freely. The real migration happened during Safavid rule, in which the ruler tried to forcefully convert all Iranians to Shia Islam, including the Sunni Muslims and Parsi, which lead to the migration of many sunnis and parsis in Iran to India/Pakistan/Mughal Empire. The Shi’a rulers eventually converted everyone, radicalized their sect, destroyed many Sunni pacifist thoughts, desecrated the graves of many important scholars, and began to spread their idea further. Traditionally speaking, early muslim encounters were peaceful and motivated by morals when in contact with other cultures. For example, when Hindus were being oppressed by one of their rulers, they called for help from the caliphate and were sent garrisons to aid them. In the conquered areas, the natives kept their cultures and religions unless they liked Islam, and were given legal rights.
@Abtin Persian I'm sorry but you're knowledge about history is weak. The Aswārān (singular aswār), also spelled Asbārān, was a military force that formed the backbone of the army of the Sasanian Empire. These Iranians betrayed Iran and helped the Arabs from the start of the war (so thousands of Iranian military force helped Arab Muslims from the beginning and accepted Islam peacefully. Besides many may Iranian cities helped and accepted Arabs. ببخشید ولی اطلاعات شما از ملت خائن و وطنفروش ایران کمه

Another large migration period was during the 10th century, which was prior to the Safavids and still under Sunni caliphate rule. This migration occurred after the rightly guided caliphs, and thus is not take into account when assessing the narrative of parsis fleeing from early Muslims. Although Some did flee during the initial conquest, the real migration began in the 9th-10th centuries when the Muslims had infighting and weren’t so rightly guided anymore. I would recommend reading up on the accounts of the ulema for a good picture on what was happening as well.
Tang you for this amazing video KG! Those sassy Sassanids and their assassinations, I swear!
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.

Wow I have never heard about this very cool. The fall of the Sassanian's was truly one of the biggest what if's in history. The Zoroastrian libraries containing so much knowledge had been plundered. I also heard of Sassanian's escaping to the west to Spain and launching attacks against the Arabs. Other Iranians also tried reviving the old Empire of Persia to no avail. It is crazy how today when the Iranians bow towards Mecca inside of them they are ancestors of the great Zoroastrians. This would of been interesting to see a Chinese Army with Persian Generals leading a counter attack to retake Persia from the Arabs. Truly should be made into a movie!
