The Victor rewrites history! So be careful when studying history 🇬🇧👍
Jaja look who’s talking.
I am always careful my friend. It’s written in a way to deceive ✡️
Loving your vid. I'd like to add that when TARIQ and his forces sailed into Spain, he was said to have BURNED THE BOATS so the small force knew that there was no turning back. This was in the year 711. Thus, the reason those numbers were and still are considered "lucky". (Thank you Tariq for 711 stores lol). In episode one, you noted Cortes burning his boats when reaching the Americas. I mentioned this because Tariq doing that in 711 is so legendary, that Cortes doing the same thing almost 1000 years later really brings this story full circle.
Both stories of Tariq and Cortex could have been made up. But the concept is interesting - both men were arriving in a new continent and about to fight an entrenched civilization for the glory of their own. Full circle indeed =)
CORTEZ DID THAT TO COPY HIS ARAB BLOOD

Wow, thank you!
Love this one too, great stories to tell about courage, honour and luck. Thanks for doing these great vvideos..
A gem of channel that deserves much more views.
Thank you!
I'm all in for this series! I'm watching all of it!
Nice - let me know what you think
@@FlashPointHx Great job. Honest. Giving credit where it is due. Keep up the good work.
Most European and those brain washed by Europeans call Muslim expansion. You are the only one among those I heard call CONQUESTS of the known world.
This music is EVERYTHING!
I agree - it sets the mood and keeps the narrative fluid. Most of my budget goes to buying music or finding it on the internet for free. It’s hard to come across copyright free music that sounds right. For episode V, I pulled out all the stops and contacted the musician himself - definitely let me know what you think of the music on that one!
I See Clearly, EXCELLENCE is Afoot!! Bravo Maestro!!
I have seen your comments on a bunch of my videos - happy to see you’re enjoying the series!
VERY MUCH!! THANK YOU!!
Love this! In Portugal a lot of us are Mouros, as in Moors, as in Morenos, as in Mauri, as in Mauro specially in the South. Were not different from Berbers a.k.a. Amazyh. Almoravids, Almohads, Ummayad Caliphate (Muslim Moors). But you're right we live in Europe therefore are Europeans and Moroccans and Algerians live in Africa and therefore are Africans. None of both represent a single ethnicity, culture or religion. But both us as Moroccans and Algerians share not only berber blood as Phoenician blood (Levante - Lebanon) as Arabic blood (Ummayad Caliphate conquered everything from 1AD to 15th Century. From Mesopotamia (Persian Golf) to Egypt to Mahgreb to Iberian Peninsula. The Reconquista weren't battles between different ethnicities but religions. Both Portuguese Kingdom and Spanish Kingdom incorporated millions of Moors that converted from Islam to Christianity.
Search one of our first navigators João Vaz Corte-Real and the Corte-Real Family. Well that's a Portuguese Moor. Persian/Arabic looking AF. You can see it Cristiano Ronaldo, Cancelo, Daniela Melchior, Daniela Ruah, Sara Sampaio, Nelly Furtado and so on so on. Zidane could be Portuguese. We got a lot of Zidanes, Benzemas and Salahs too.
Best Regards from Portugal

the ammount of irony and storyteling tellant - is oversize! great work!
The Roman, arabs, greeks and alot more were only stopped from inner africa because of Nubia south of Egypt
Orisha they stopped because there was nothin more to conquer
the Moors was Black tribes of North west Afrika th-cam.com/video/pLbj76HCvxU/w-d-xo.html
Egypt, warred with Nubia, and Kush, to the point where they were absorbed into the Egyptian Empire. And Egypt fell, therefore rendering your comment inaccurate.

Quote ''[...] I'm guessing that these men didn't have a very happy ending [...]'' Unquote.This got me laughing and I don't really understand why. The narration is sublime. Thank you for your work and keep it up.For my part, I love reading history. This allows me to transport myself into the past. And when watching your honey coated history podcast, my mind can't help taking care of dressing and giving faces to famous historical figures of long lost civilizations. I am about to meet them and know some of their defining moments.
Someone asked me earlier today why I liked history - this is exactly one of the reasons. It allows you to put yourself into the human experience that you might never get to experience otherwise. Thanks for sharing your insight !
yea that was my mountain.
Now it is not just a mountain - but an icon

@@FlashPointHx humbly ask if you can do a series on the Mughal empire of India? Thanks
Funny you should ask - that’s exactly my next project. But will take a while to get there
@@FlashPointHx oh wow! Great minds think alike. Please do cover the infamous story of the peacock throne and the kohi noor diamond? Cheers
I am amazed how Hollywood and cinema in general has completely ignored this great chapter of human history. Such a rich history and a myriad of events and characters that are ripe for adaptation and with streaming services it is much easier now!
Because only white people can be portrayed as colonizers. No one else.
Hollywood ha it would be white supremacy everyone would be white apart from the slaves.
Sensational videos about a period of time that does not receive a lot of in-depth coverage!
I agree - history books gloss over this era right to 1492
This series is amazing, really appreciate the commitment to seeming completely unbiased, can't help but trust you.
Hey thank you! Really appreciate that !
im loving these serie, thanks a lot for your work, also I'm from Murcia, south east of spain :)
Glad you like them! I'm hoping to get back to Southern Spain one of these days
I read the book on the moors in Spain like 2 3 times. 4th time reading it.
Where do I find book?
I like the commentary. Informative, but also has nice subtle jokes
hahah - Happy that you liked my video
Great
Sam - are systematically going through this entire series? I’m delighted you’re liking it.
Yes pretty much. I have always enjoyed history, and this is the first time that I have really tried to take in and understand the initial spread of Islam.
Pelayo was badass

Thanks! But why not platinum ? 🤣😂
Your Patrick Bateman impression is amazing.
were?
@@thefool1086 it’s a joke. Do you know who Patrick Bateman is?
Harold had to fight off a Viking invasion at Stanford Bridge defeating a more experience and better equipped army. Then force marched his army to meet the King of France and caught an arrow to the eye.
These series are very informative. I feel like I have some command of a complicated subject.
Thank you! This has been my hope in creating this series.
Great content, as a Moroccan Berber descendant of Moors, Moor means 'Land' thus the name Morocco 'Mooroco'. Also Marrakesh, the capital of the Almoravid dynasty named 'Moor-Akoush' Moor = Land, Akoush =The Almighty God of Berbers 'Amazighs'. Most Moroccans are descendants of Moors and you'll notice the big similarities between the architecture in Morocco and Andalusia.
Thank you i am glad you like the show. I’ve been to Morocco - spent a month out there. You’re right, the medieval architecture in Fez and Marrakech are similar to what you have in Granada and Córdoba. Morocco was such a wonderful trip, I’d recommend to anyone to travel there.
AFRICANS were ALSO in Berber tribes and are decendants of the Moors
Anthony Fields-Bey
No...
The mauris=Moors are ancient MAURERANIAS...
Actual Morocco...
But there is a lot of Berbers tribes...
Do you call them morrs or moops
@Ayoub
That's pretty wrong.
Moor is the word that designates North African Muslims that invade Hespania.
Morocco is a Spanish / Portuguese pronunciation of the word "Merrakesh" , à city founded by the Lumtuna Almravids ( A berber tribe that INVADED Morocco and founded that city).
The architecture in AL Andalus can be found everywhere I the maghreb please correct your information.
Great to be from Moors greating to our brothers 🇲🇦🇪🇦
berber moroccan are not black
@@l.d.mmoroccanforce5843 he's obviously white lmao
Moors means all the Berber
Great and intelligent presentation. On a pedantic note the Emperor Theodosius 1 died in 395 AD according to most historians. :-)
Thanks. He did die that year. Last emperor to preside over a united east and west. But he only had this for a few months. Did I put in the wrong date?
A great People,the Amazigh,i feel Much satisfaction,to have them in my DNA. I love Azul.👤
I like the intro 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶 music instrument 🎷🎸🎸🎷🎷🎸🎸
thanks!
there is a legend that Tariq Burned his ships at Gibraltar so that he wont retreat back to Africa and so that he would charge only forward.
I’ve read this too and initially I wanted to add it into the narrative as I would tie into Cortéz later , but I’m not sure if it is actually true. Tariq kept his forces near the port of Algeceras specifically so he could use the port to retreat if needed.
i always wondered what happened to Tariq Bin Ziyad (my nephew is named after him, ziyad) . because Musa bin Nusayr ended up being a beggar. the same ummayyad caliph did the same to the Muhammad Bin Qasim who conquered the southern part of the modern day pakistan. In the year 711 AD. My ancestors were the soldiers who who followed Muhammad Bin Qasim.
Tariq dissapears from the records that I read. He and Musa ibn Nusayr were recalled back to Damascus and Musa was stripped of everything. If I had to guess - I’d say Tariq probably got executed for being his right hand man. Impressive that you can track you family lineage back the the 8th century!
to be even more precise. my ancestors were soldiers from the city of Areeha also known as Jericho. Read about Arain tribe if you get the chance. if you decide to do any video about Indian subcontinent.
Wow, that goes into near antiquity - No wonder you’re such a big fan of history.
You're right about Roderic. There's a whole lot of myths (unproven) around him due to the phobia os the Iberians against the Moors
About the collapse of visigothic kingdom: it was written into its bone. I mean, the problem of visigothic kingdom wasnt the lack of army reserves, it was its flawed governing and administrative system. As most of post roman kingdmon, visigothic was authoritian, integrated ang highly centralised. Meaning, deccision werent made by a large decision making board, but by a small court, and this small court was both the leaders of the army and the high officials of the kingdom. Also meant the local government werent run by locals, it was run by the mentioned court high officials.
This system was good for the kings (helped him keep in power), but was fragile against major defeats. If a major defeat occured, then the kingdom lost its officials, so there werent anybody to start to organise a new army, defence of cities and towns.
In contrary, the roman republic could survive all its major defeats by its political and administration system. Having a senate of some hundred man, many of them ex officials of the republic meant they had the potential men to appoint to reorganise the army and enforce the alliance even after a major defeat. And election held annually meant even the loss of members of senate was fastly replanished....
I love this podcast now and the video component. Just wanted to mention I would often skip over the show because of the title. I love binging epics like Dan Carlin puts out and I thought flash point meant it was going to be a quick look with not a lot of depth. I was obviously the most wrong you can be, love the show. I misunderstood the meaning of the show title on the Spotify suggestions. So happy i found the TH-cam version
Thank you! Happy you like the content. I used the title more to indicate monumental and pivotal points in history. I didn't want to be tied down to any particular topic (e.g. History of Rome - or whatever). Plus flashpoints can be associated with more than military but cultural watershed moments. Again, happy you like the podcast!
Imagine if the caliph suleiman didn’t tell tariq and Musa to turn back after they entered France... could’ve been a different world. Some say that the main reason and motivation for their conquest into Europe was to attack Constantinople from the western end rather than crossing the river form the eastern side. Small decisions/orders like that changes the world in so many ways. That’s what makes me so interested in history 😁 amazing show appreciate all the effort you put in this.
Yes! There are so many what if’s in history. What if Constantinople fell to the Early Islamic Conquest in the 7th century - or if the Mongols didn’t turn back in the 13th ? According to Gibbon - if Charles Martel hadn’t have won at the Battle of Poitiers / Tours in 732 - the Koran would have been taught at Oxford during the Renaissance. I’m really glad you like my series - spread word of it, if you don’t mind.
Flash Point History I most definitely will share your page 😊😊
Thank you
To be honest I don't think they would be able to consolidate their rule. It would end up something like the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula due to the decadence and softness of living in abundance.
@Scott Whatever hatred?!?!
Of all the reasons to thank you for the effort you go to in these, showing tactical focus to the battles in history, thank you for also speaking in a standard speed instead of the tendency of so many youtubers to nerd rattle their dialogue. That is, they speak like they’re talking to people who are as familiar with the topic as they are. Instead by speaking at a normal pace you allow people who arent already interested or familiar in the topic to access it by not feeling overwhelmed. This also makes for clearer, better closed captioning.
Thank you for saying this. I try my best to make the history accessible. I try to give the videos a balance between providing information for both the new comer and those who have good insight into the time periods I talk about.
Lost one battle, aaaaaaaaand its gone
Once again magnificent( jumping into roman empire is what i love about your works ) barbarians and stuff
So glad your back - appreciate your comments
Flash Point History de rien ;)
Flash Point History dont mention it,
History marche led me here.
I’m currently reading more and more about this time period. It is so fascinating. I am the result of these cultures coming together. You have a new subscriber. Great videos!
Its totally fascinating. Have you read Maria Menochal's "Ornament of the World"?
Flash Point History I have not, but I just downloaded a sample of the book and will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
E Leon same basically as a Mexican but now Native American culture has been added to the mix lol
The dark ages were dark ages in Europe. During that period the Muslims and Africans were excelling materially and intellectually.
One of the opening images in this video is of the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi, an Iranian poet credited for preserving the Persian language in the 11th century. It has nothing to do with Andalusia or the Moors.
It captures the mood nicely though
@@FlashPointHx It does. My comment was not intended to diminish the excellent and very detailed history of Al-Andalus. You are to be commended for this fine work.
I can't believe that people still confuse moors with arabs!!! They are different races, ethnicities, language and culture, MOORS are the berbers (amazigh) of the ancient kingdom of MAURETANIA (nowadays MOROCCO).
Yup
@truth seeker On point!
@truth seeker do you have a page to follow?
Moors means only the amazighi North African people who live for centuries in this place, with a specific North Africa Dna of these people, the rest are migrants or slaves descendants.

@truth seeker Wrong
Proud to be a moor 🇲🇦 Moroccan 🇲🇦
The Visigoths came from the North into what was Dacian territory. Dacia was situated above (North) of Danube when the Romans conquered it at the end of the third of Dacian Wars (AD106). Today’s Romania is a continuation of the Thracian/Dacian people of before and after Trajan’s victory. Herodotus attested it. The Visigoths were not the people residing there.
The Visigoths lived for some time in Dacian territory but they did not displace the Dacians.

Yup - you got it
👑RÍOS FAMILY 👑 it refers to the ROYAL HOUSE OF ASTURIAS where the RÍOS👑 last name most likely originated from.👑.
Alhamdulillah.
I too appreciate your accuracy of this content especially the representation of moors. Who were brown to dark skinned in colour. As a descendant of a moorish background through my father. I was wondering if you can do a critique on the history of Croatia. As my fathers ancestral origins goes back to Arabic speakers of Morocco and Croatia. Then eventually back to Saudi Arabia.
I’m really happy that you like the content. It usually takes me quite a bit of time to do the research behind these videos. I would love to do the history of Croatia, but I don’t know if I will have the time. I will have a map video coming out pretty soon that I think you might like.

Interesting line
Inviting Tarik and musa to Damascus was a massive mistake from sulayman they'd conqueror all Europe if they stay in charge, and thank u for the video u are the best
Again - thank you. I'm glad you're following the series. Would love to hear your thoughts on Abd Al Rahman III when you get to him
They may have been able to do it. Perhaps if Constantinople fell it would have been a different story. . .
one should ideally not underestimate the desire for self rule and liberty of a people; the franco-germanic tribes had been able to resist a millenia of roman conquest and rule, they were used to foreign conquerors with lofty ideals coming to their land in search for glory and power so it is not as cut and dry as you might think.
nope, they would get crushed by the germanic people. You only beat beat the visigoths, with the help of Jews.
@Alliam Isaman maybe The European will be more anti Islamic and the clash lf Civilization still going on Wallahualam
This is sounding like Americas battle that is brewing
Being a melaninated female from America, i can hear exactly what you’re saying. This is MORE proof that my ancestors were never slaves. They have always been “displaced” people. Always making the best of what they had...no matter where they lived. Can u guess the name of my hometown????
no, please share
Atlanta?
Andalusia.... Whenever I asked our local so called historians where that name came from, they would never say or bring up any Muslims. Everything is Spain this and Spain that....but no Islamic reference at all. I had to research the name on my own.
Andalusia was around longer than ‘Spain’ has. How could you possibly tell the history and exclude the Islamic influence ?
@@JC33455 😂😂 andalusia is an arabized name meaning the land of the vandals.
The history of spain is much longer.
@Flashpointhistory. You are one of the best quality history podcast one can find. This is Dan Carlin level but please man you could do yourself so much more good to put in some structure. I've been busy all day just trying ordering all your "Muslim reconquista videos " because its very difficult to watch these chronological correct from the start of the Muslim conquest in Arabia until the end of the reconquista. Is that something you can do in the future ?
Thanks

I’m glad to have come across your channel. I’m a visual learner and your explanations coupled with the images really engage my imagination and keep me locked in. Keep up the work! Will definitely be spreading the word.
In reference to this episode, I’m curious as to where the name Moor comes from. You didn’t speak on the origins of the name.They just appear during their battle with the Visigoths.
Thank you so much! I’m really happy that you liked my video. I am like you, I believe that in order to really understand the history on must be able to visualize it. Thus, I spent a lot of time to create the Maps for the series. In reference to your question, I mentioned it in a previous episode. The term Moors Comes from the Roman name for the province of northwestern Africa - Mauritania . This area was heavily populated by the Berber tribes. Eventually the name was abbreviated to Moors.
@@FlashPointHx How do they relate to the ancient Numidians?
@@Sovnarkom Numdia was a kingdom just to the SW of Carthage. It was integrated into the Roman Republic and later empire. I wouldn't know the exact specifics of how they were directly related. But I'd have to say that there must of been a lot of Berber tribes in the area that would later join the Islamic Conquest of the 7th century
@@FlashPointHx It seems like both the Mauri and Numidians were Berber people who spoke a mutually intelligible language but they formed separate states due to some geographic distinctions, predating the formation of Carthage. This separation continued through Cananite, Roman, Arab and European domination and exists today with the distinct Maghrebi power centers of Morocco and Algeria. I never understood what this deep-rooted political difference was, if it didn't extend to the spheres of language and religion.
The moors are Moroccan Moroccans actually in northern Africa
King Roderic experience Manzikert tier of treachery there.
If there is uncertainty in the accuracy, then inaccuracy is certain!
Thats most - if not all - of history
Flash Point History if u start throwing stones at every barking dog in ur way, u will not reach ur destination. Also Ali Bin Abi Talib (4th muslim caliph) says: “The moment you start arguing with an ignorant fool, you have already lost.”
So please ignore any stupid ignorants, ignorants listen you to answer you and show you down, while wise listen you to learn from you.
So keep up the good work (neutral work). and reply only positive people, people who appreciate ur efforts or the ones who want to share more reasonable knowledge.

Just made a patreon account just for this channel. I never thought I’d pay for a youtube channel but I’ve never seen one quite like yours. Do you mind if I ask if you have an academic background in history? In any case, your videos are what I’d expect from an academic. Insane content, keep it up and thank you for this channel!
Been meaning to respond to you for a few days - been trying to finish the next video. Thank you for this amazing remark! I’m so happy that you find my series to be to your liking. To answer your question, the focus of my education and career are completely outside of history. I did get a minor in it. However, I lived in several countries and have always been exposed to history growing up. Now it is a passion of mine to travel and explore - and of course to read extensively on the history of the places I go to. Again, I really appreciate the kind remark and I think I’ll add this comment to the next video as well. All the best!
Flash Point History no problem, you deserve it! The only improvement I could think of would be a source list in the description, but I know it could get tedious to do that. In any case, thanks again! And whatever you do, keep posting :)
There’s a lot to watch before you tackle the most important part of European history.
👏🏻
Good video. I was surprised you mention the Salomon´s Table. There is a leyend which says after the batle of Guadalete, the remains of the King army was destroyed trying to protect the Table. There were some musluns writings about what happened after that, saying there was a confrontation between Tariq and Muza about the table. During the dicssion, Tariq broke a leg from the table an took it with him. For several generations, his family was welthy. Did ytou know this second part of the story?
I love this story - it’s obviously just a legend. I didn’t have time to mention the dispute between Tariq and Musa in detail - but yes that is what is supposed to have happened. Happy you liked the video!
Was that actually Solomon's table? I guess it is kind of a debate as to whether not he even existed, but I was wondering if was an obvious fake like all those "Joshua's tomb".
I am Portuguese. This was a sad history for us but thanks God King Afonso of Portugal kick this uninvited invaders out before the Spain did.
Don’t become what you fight. One day it’ll all make sense.
“The darkest pot of the kettle as far as the eye can see” The Moorish warriors
My books are loosely based on the Moors. The main character and the villian are descendants from the opposing sides.
The Moors made The Mongols look like saints.
You get a nomadic people, used to getting by with little, organized and motivated - and you have a powerful force, period.
Why did they murder every single inhabitant of cities (baghdad and many more) they conquered? And almost run ethnicities to extinction (the persians)
@@haitamc5611 can you elaborate on this because it is so hard to find any atrocities the moors committed.
Fall of Roman civilization not civilization herself. The dark ages were terrible for europeans. But in places like africa and maybe mexico they were flourishing
It is not the Moors, it is Moops! :P

Is the war/movie ilustration part came from the series Omar? Just curious because I am in love with that series
No - its just stock footage I ran through a filter
@@FlashPointHx you should watched it then, good series about early islamic history, at least from one side of history source,al-hadits (don't expect level of GoT production value of course), its available for free in its tv station youtube channel with english subs. There you will also saw, prophet Muhammad and the rashidin didnt command from a throne or palace like depiction in the painting from your series before , they mostly talk all political, economic and military inside the mosque of nabawi (which is didnt more than a field of sand with a roof made from dates leaves and poles from dates woods with wall made from mud all around ). The series also depicted how one of romans or persian ambassador that came to meet omar and asking around people of medina about the palace of the caliph and instead he was shown the way to mosque of Nabawi which is not more than looks like half finished wall of mud and Omar laid down, taking a nap under the dates tree in front side of the mosque bare chested due to tired after working in the market.
Yes,there lies the answer of why Khaleed didnt reject the order of Omar that put him down from his ranks as the field general. Omar, like Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr gives example of humbleness and dignity as a leader among their people,an opposite of other leader at the time. Omar also never take from his spoil of war stakes and donate them all instead.

I’ll like to read what he read to come up with his history
I initially discounted your work because of your really poor pronunciation of Arabic place names and events. I regret underestimating your sincerity and knowledge on this bit of history for such a trivial reason. Bravo!
I’m really happy that you gave the series another chance. From someone who does not speak Arabic, it was hard for me to learn the words. There are certain sounds that I still have difficulty hearing. I reviewed all of the names with some friends who are native speakers. I even had one of my fans record the names and send them to me so I could practice. I felt like in time I got a little better. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
Naseer was a mawla, not a slave, and the mawla means a subordinate ally, and they are closer to being from the family, and they think of them as Musa bin Nusair and his father were from the loyalists of the Umayyads, but the slaves were not given a leadership position at all.
The word mawla is derived from the root و ل ي w-l-y , meaning "to be close to", "to be friends with", or "to have power over". Mawla can have reciprocal meanings, depending on whether it is used in the active or passive voice: "master" or "slave/freedman", "patron" or "client", "uncle" or "nephew", or simply friend.
Your channel is addictive as hell. I want to go to sleep but I just can not before I watched the next episode😂👍 A++ as usual.
