ahmed wrya rwandwzy yes but his name is Altaïr and not Altahar, the game developer explains that the name Altaïr comes from the Arabic al-nasr al-ṭā'ir (النسر الطائر) which means "eagle (or vulture) in flight".
Juan Estrada yup.during crusades there were three knights organisation who fought against Muslims 1.templars(these were under pope) 2.saint luzaracus(knights of England) 3.knights hospitallier(knights of France) And there were only one order of assassins.it fought against Christians
The king of France owed a debt to Templars so he captured some Templars and tortured them and made them say that they spat on the cross to portray them as anti christ which led to the dissolving of the Templars
The hashashin were an organization of shia muslims (coming from the Fatimid State: current egypt and north africa) and they carried out assassination contracts against targets they were payed for, be it Sunni muslim leaders(Abbasid State: current Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, KSA and the rest of the arab gulf) or Christian ones.
No... they didnt come from egypt and north africa..... the guy that created the group he was from Persia and even the first Assassin fort is in Persia. So your wrong there lol
The first recorded use of the Hidden Blade was dated during the 5th century, in the area known as modern day Iran, when Darius used it to assassinate King Xerxes I. By the High Middle Ages, Assassins were regularly outfitted with a Hidden Blade as part of their equipment. The blades saw wide use for assassinations, as they could be easily kept out of sight and allowed for quicker and stealthier eliminations.
@@JohnSmith-mu8fx I'm unable to provide a specific source for the information you mentioned because it appears to be a part of fictional lore or historical speculation related to the Assassin's Creed video game series. The concept of the Hidden Blade, the Assassins, and their use in history is primarily a creation of the game's narrative and not based on actual historical events. ~chatGPT
Ezio was a true person but his history was swept away, a report said that a man named Ezio Auditore Da Firenze assassinated Cesare Borgia and that is how Ubisoft came up with Ezio in the game, he also did kill Templars in Italy.
The first rule of the original brotherhood is that you don't talk about the original brotherhood. The second rule of the original brotherhood is that you don't talk about the original brotherhood.
Actually, the "Hashashins" (the Assassins) did survive the mongols but went into hiding until they were recalled by the Ottoman Empire and formally disbanded into another unit.
Rashid ad-Din Sinan (Al Mualim) was also a real person and leader of the Assassins. While he died in 1191 in the game, he actually died in 1192 of natural causes at around 57-60 years old. Also, the threat given to Saladin in the game was supposedly done by Altair's father, Umar, which was what led to him being killed. There's a book called "The Templars and the Assassins: The Militia of Heaven" by James Wasserman - it's absolutely fascinating. It really details how both orders came about, their progression, how they fell, and how bipolar the relationship between the two really was.
I actually heard that the Hidden Blade WAS historic to a certain extent. That history is reflected in this traditional part of making a contract which we call a handshake because the handshake originated as a physical demonstration of honesty, showing that you have nothing dangerous underneath your sleeve. This historical idea was demonstrated perfectly but possibly unintentionally by Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Tim Burtan's "Batman."
+MonguinAssassin Yes the hidden blade was a real thing that assassins used because of it's invisibility and that was good for the global assassinations
God damn it, could people just stop saying Illuminati?! No, Templars are NOT Illuminati. The Templars were founded during the crusades, to HELP christian pilgrims, while Illuminati was founded during the 16th or 17th century, in response of the Christian church banning science. Meaning, they were AGAINST the church. So, please, STOP TALKING ABOUT ILLUMINATI! Thank you.
frisa96 abstergo entertainment is a damn near clone of google abstergo has a hand in everything in the world just like the illuminati is claimed to have illuminati wants to create a new world order templars wants to create a new world order triangles everywhere i am sure the templars were largely based on the illuminati
Why is the illuminati bad? Aren't they trying to achieve world peace or…show more 7 Answers • History Best Answer (Chosen by Asker) Sorry but you have your facts totally mixed up and the Illuminati are (or rather were) not bad people and had no bad intentions. The Illuminati did exist as a secret society but they were secret only to protect themselves from persecution by the all powerful Roman Catholic church. They were all very intelligent and respected scientists philosophers and logical thinkers. One of the original members was Galileo who proved that the Earth rotated around the sun (which it does) but the church held that the sun rotated around the Earth (which it doesn't) because the Earth was the centre of the universe. Even though he was right, he was forced to recant and was held under house arrest for many years. Once the church lost its power, nearly 200 years ago, the Illuminati ceased to exist because science could be pursued openly and there was no need for secret societies. As a matter of interest, Galileo was a devout Roman Catholic. He also died about 200 years before the secret society was formed in Bavaria and the two groups may have been connected but were not the same entity. The New World Order (or the Illuminati taking over the world) would have happened many decades ago if it was going to happen at all - but it wasn't because, like the Devil worship nonsense, the whole thing was a malicious rumour set about by the Church to discredit the Illuminati and to maintain their own dubious integrity. Rumours simply developed over time into conspiracy theories. The idea that they still exist and all the melodramatic rubbish that goes with it is perpetuated by those who educate themselves from comic books and movies - the truly great thinkers of the world. In short, the Illuminati were not evil, they no longer exist but they have been replaced by a number of scams who claim to be Illuminati for their own financial benefit If you happen to be American, you have nothing to worry about as they never made it to America except in Dan Brown novels, comic books, movies and spurious groups who claim to be the Illuminati. Anybody who is, or claims to be, in the Illuminati is referring to one of the fake groups. Another point to think about is that if it is a secret society, nobody in it will talk about it. Besides this, the entry requirement was intelligence not cash or fame.
Really mate? Why bother assassins creed anyway if you don't like it or what's the case here you prefer the old ones? I know tht they have gone out of shape in AC3 but that's pretty much it, I reckon all assassins creeds have had been good and unity has been amazing since it reminds of the good times climbing the stone built cities and exploring it in AC2. By far unity has been the best. Victory looks good aswell although I would prefer it to be on medieval and post medival story trend.
I would agree that Unity is in contention for the best except since patch number 3 I cannot play being signed in to PSN without getting an error code. That pisses me off hence my rationale.
AyyTwisted i see, i have had sometimes a few bugs with missions where im having to reload again for something not working it rare but it does happen its annoying. but mate you shoukd email them on the help section i would be furious if i was in your position
In the assassins creed universe, rather than the assassins being wiped out by the mongols, Altair being the mentor (who had already made changes to the order's dealings and methods) decided to abandon the main assassin stronghold and sent the remaining assassins to spread over the globe and begin operating completely "off the grid", with the intention of keeping the subtlety to a maximum. This is how it can make sense for there to be assassins from every different kind of culture, And I suppose the same goes for Templars.
What's very sad and a little known fact about the real Assassin Order is that to hide themselves ,though not having retractable blades, they did sometimes hide their knives in their sleeves and shirts.
Im an Arab and "Assassin" DID NOT COME FROM THE WORD HASHASHIN. it has 4 different meanings, the first came from the word Asas which means base, as these assassins created(based) an army in the Death castle , the 2nd came from "a'ssassoon" which means( people who spend the nights watchin over the castles and protecting it). the 3rd one came from the crusades, they used to call the pro muslim arab killers "assassins" cuz these assassins had the power to kill any enemy, the 4th one which came from the Name hassassan, and hassassan was a muslim who created the groups of assassins. i know its hard to explain it in english.
this is one of the situations where you also have to look back to the games when it comes to some of the equipment. Such as the hidden blades. Much of the equipment is said to be secret and if you look at the material it was made from it wouldn't be too hard to melt the blade down and burn the rest so that it wouldn't be discovered. And it's also supposed to be secret so it's like well why would the reveal themselves if they had survived past the invasions. That's actually one of the premises of the game is that Ezio's grandfather (or great grand father) had found journals of the order and brought them back, which might make it like the free masons without direct correlation, but it means that it could be possible such a brotherhood does exist.
As much as I know the leap of fate is made from a actual suicide jump from their strongholds walls. Salahadin wanted to show his man's royalty by ordering some one to jump down of the wall.He jumped because Assasins's belief in heaven was too strong. They loved death and wanted to die to get to heaven. May not be true, but I heard this from a history teacher back in middle school.
Also I think they made the eden artifacts from the first artifact to be seen in the game: Cup. It was a holy artifact for Templars. Maybe something about prophet Jesus's wine is drinked from that cup? I dont remember. Also 1 of the reasons Templars were strong was that you needed to be both a skilled swordsman and rich. For getting in you needed to donate all your gold to the creed.
Salahadin was not part of the Assassins. The assassins were Persians and were not muslims and im pretty sure they attempted to even kill Salahadin as well but i may be mistaken.
That Middle School teacher must me smoking some hashish, or maybe you are. Or maybe you just don't remember what he said exactly. But I am certain he doesn't know much about the Assassins.
Washington was such a noble guy. He was suppose to be king of America and turned it down because of his republican government idealism. They basically handed him so much power and he didn't take it. Seriously, this guy was really something.
only the first game was accurate about the whole assassins brotherhood, the ezio games could never have happened because the last assassin stronghold in alamut was destryoed by kublai khan
No..... actually the Assassins and the Templars worked together. They are part of the same occult lineage. There were bumpy moments in their relationship and several occasions where they murdered each other and engaged in battle, but the history shows that they often worked together and even fought together. There is much educated speculation which proposes that the Knights Templar learned their occult based semi-Islamic teachings from the Assassins. I believe this is the case, I believe the evidence shows that it is the Templar (along with jewish immigrants) who brought (or rather revived) eastern style occultism in Europe and that this transmission can be followed back directly to the Assassins.
there is no telling what grate secrets are out there we have except the fact that some things we will never know not right now anyways anything could happen and are minds can only go are far as we are willing to believe I say open your mind and don't be afraid to explore what might seem unreal to some
Assassins came from Achachin ( الحشاشون ) it meant in the time , recolting heads , because most of them were peasants ( الحشاشون يحشون الرقاب ) , and they are famous for sneaking close to the targets getting close and friendly to them ( some of them served for more than 5 years to have the chance to kill. in fact they have killed a lot of iconic figures in the east's history
it's interesting to see that in the original Assassin's Creed the assassins had to lose a finger to use the hidden blade effectively. Also if you just kill someone and start playing, you easily get away with it. That was awesome.
Assassiyun doesnt mean.. Those Faithful to the Foundation. Assassiyun means in arabic: The Smokers OR The Marijuana Smokers they used to smoke alot to help themself forget their own kills.
I remember when we covered the Crusades in year 10 History. We covered Salah ad-Din, King Richard the lionheart, the siege of Acre and a brief glimpse at the Knights Templar. Funny thing is, I learned very little in class, cause most of everything else I inferred from Assassin's Creed.
Yahya Rao Weso dummmI have poo in my hair!!! ! Reminder, just because SOME white folks are jack asses, does not mean you should be so broad in your statements. Good Day, sir.
Very good observations and statements. It is also worth noting that, in incorporating so many historical events, the game does well in giving the player an immersion in those civilizations.
The retractable blade weapon is actually a real weapon, called the Katar. It wasn't used by the Assassins in the Middle East, but it was actually used by the Rajputs in India. The Katar has also been used as a weapon in the Soul Edge/Calibur series.
Actually, the term "Assassin" Comes from the Arabic word "Hashashin". The Hashashin order that you are talking about was real, but their actual name was "al-da’wa al-jadida" (Arabic for "New Doctrine"). Their enemies called the Hashashins because it was Arabic meaning "Grass User". Hashish was a type of drug that the al-da’wa al-jadida would use before Assassinations to reduce the feelings of pain. So they were called Grass User's. Assassin is literally the modernized word of pot head haha. The modern term of "Assassin" Comes from the 19th century where stories based off of the real Hashashins were made and through translation errors it lead to the name Assassin.
The hashashin were known for using a concoction which included hashish but was principally made up of alcohol. The whole "grass user" is bull, they didn't directly consume the cannabis plant they used the derivative "hashish" which was and is still widely used throughout Asia today and has strong ties to middle eastern tribes and south east Asian communities.
Cone Dron I got this information from a reliable source, I can give it to you if you want. Like I said, "Hashashin" was not the name of the Assassin order (It was al-da’wa al-jadida), Hashashin was a term given to them by their enemies. So of course it would be seen as insulting. Plus, I am familiar with the Arabic language (Being of Arabic decent myself), Hashashin does mean Grass User (Well, not the exact translation but translation is difficult sometimes. Especially with a language like Arabic). Remember though, the al-da’wa al-jadida did not call themselves Hashashin, even though Hashish was not the primary drug they consumed it was the most famous according to their enemies and so they were named Hashashin (Grass User, Hashish itself means Grass) by their enemies. You have to understand the fact that their name was not "Hashashin", that was an insult given to them by their enemies.
Hashashin is wrong, that word was a modified version of the word Hashshashin by americans. The 3 terms used by Arabians are Hashshashin, Hashishin or Hashashiyyin these words are then translated to Assassin (both Hashishin/Hashshashin) and Assassiyin.
Noooooo nonononoooooo. I speak arabic, and there are 2 pronunciations for Hashashin. One way is pronouncing the "H" hard, which means "smokers". Pronouncing the "H" softly means "Assassin".
There's tale about how the Assassin Order did exist but it was probably one of those fairy tale in 1001 night of the Arabian. But we will never known cuz even those seem fairy tale some base on real event.
lol the Order Of Assassin's did exist, they were called Hashshashin in Arabic and the word at the start Assassiyin was derived from Hashashiyyin. Just type in Hashshashin in google and go to whatever website you think can give you the most source.
actually there's a group of Assassin in Middle East (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins) and of course the knight of templar did exist as well (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar)
For a more in depth look at these factions/groups and their history - search for "William Cooper The Assassins and The Templars" - he talked about these groups on the radio, back in the 1990's in far further detail.
Vsauce3 Here's something for you to think about!.. could the assassin clan from assassins creed survive and exist in the modern days and if it would existed in the modern days...would it be looking and working the same as it was?
This is irrelevant but the Japanese Yakuza has existed since 17th century (1600+) so it is possible that the Original Hashshashin do still exist. But are say more restricted due to current law/technology.
When you talk about assassin weapons you point out that they didn't like to use poison, and imply that the games are wrong on the front. But the Developers have in fact accounted for this. According to the second game the assassins during the crusades didn't use poison but when Altair was in power he lifted the ban because he believed that some situations called for it and as such poison becomes an option in later games.
Actually, the term "assassin" can actually traced even further. The original mentor Hasan bin Sabbah was giving opium to the assassins before sending them to a mission and it rendered them basically fearless. The opium poppy - also called hash - is called "hashash" in Persian and the users called "hashashim" (Medieval Total War players should know). Thus, original world "assassin" basically means drug addict.
The Knights Templars existed, the Assasins existed. Both were eventually wiped out en masse, after a long time of being very powerful. The Templars were crushed by the French; the Assassins by invading horse-archers from the steppes (not sure which tribe). Interestingly, they fed their members Hashish, which is where they got their name; and carried out a great many killings- mostly of Arabs before their citadel of Alamut was destroyed. I don't have my Middle ages books handy; so I am forced to use wikipedia as a source to reference to you. The Templars were powerful, and wealthy- and as such the Pope and the French king, who were both trying to enhance their power & prestige took aim at them; and managed to destroy them. I cannot speak to the Templar's motives, or abilities to carry out those motives; but those claims seem a bit fanciful to believe. It is possible that members of those organizations still exist, though highly unlikely given when they were obliterated; that being said- dogma used by them persists in many areas, such as the virgins when you martyr yourself (which did come from the koran, but was misused by the cult of assasins, as it is being done so now by terrorists). LAstly, at the risk of ticking off fanatics world-wide; those tales are stories. Allegories, tales of morals and origins; and are not real. There are kernels of truth in them sure, but they are no more word for word real than the Iliad or Odyssey.
he Hashashin, also spelled Hashashiyyin or Hashshashin, were a radical sect within the Nizari Ismaili branch of Shi'i Islam. They formed during the 11th century and lasted until the 13th century. The group came to be known as something of an assassin's cult, a reputation they earned by their habit of covertly gaining access to high-profile political targets before murdering them in broad daylight. As a result, some believe that the word "assassin" originated from the name of this sect, a connection that's not difficult to make in light of their legendary brutality. The order was headquartered in Alamut, located in the Alborz Mountains of Persian Iran, and from this strategic center, they spread their operations out over various regions in Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Syria. Toward the end of the 11th century, Ismaili leader Hassan al-Sabah formed his assassin's group, primarily as a counter-movement to al-Musta'li, the new caliph of the Egyptian Fatimid Empire. The empire had undergone a political coup, through which the ailing Caliph's younger son, al-Musta'li, was appointed the new ruler. The rightful heir apparent, al-Musta'li's older brother Nizār, was subsequently killed in an attempt to wrest back control of the empire. Hassan had been a supporter of Nizār, and this episode is the reason why the Hashashin have also been called the Nizari.
He should have mentioned that Hassan i-Sabbah appears in the game under the name Al mualim and the quote "nothing is true, everything is permitted" was actually said by him. And if we aren't focusing on the Order of Assassins, there are a lot of actual historical characters in the game (With more accurate appearances than Hassan)
The "Knights Templar" were the real life Assassins order. They fought for human rights, assassinated corrupted public figures and "politicians". I watched a documentary about them, and the whole time I kept thinking, "wow, they are the real life Assassins Creed". The "Hashashins" was a order of assassins, but they assassinated people for their own good, not for the people.
- Gamericious - When the Mongols attacked Alamut, the Assassins surrendered themselves in hopes that the Mongols will not slaughter their people. The Mongols executed many Assassins, but they kept the civilians alive. They sacrificed themselves. They don't seem that bad.
- Gamericious - Fought for human rights? Meh, I think it was more like "They fought for the human rights of Christians, and butchered anything and everything else."
The developers confirmed that the Templar were catholic... but the assassin's didn't have a religion... some were Muslim, some were hindu, some were buhddist, some where christain, etc...
John Melika the assasins were ismaili muslims not hindu or buddhists lol wtf u smoking? speaking of smoking, the muslim assasins used to get paid in hash/weed.
I thought the term Assassin comes from Ḥashshāshīn ( Arabic) , which comes from Hashish (Weed) they were given to smoke , so they feel themselves in "heaven". Hashishin = users of hashish
GreyFace There are 5 main theories: 1) They smoked hashish, therefore, Hashashins 2) They didn't smoke hashish and it was just an insult. 3) They confused them with Sufis that did smoke hashish. 4) It comes from the word Hashem meaning a member of an Arab princely family claiming descent from Hashim, great-grandfather of Muhammad. 5) It means followers of Hassan-i Sabbah, or, Ahul Hassan.
Forward Looking But there is no proof for this theory. There isn't any evidence. It's not like we ever found a pipe while digging at Alamut or something. But maybe they did. We don't know. And that's what makes history so much more interesting.
Note down what I have learned in my Islamic tradition class. Salah al-Din was actually the guy that gathered up the Muslims to fight off the Christian army in Jerusalem.
That’s actually a huge misconception. Most likely a lie concocted by the enemies of the Fidai/Assassins to discredit them and to paint them in a negative light of sorts.
In ac revelation game Altair say"my name is Altair son of Omar" while Shiite hate the name Omar because it's the name of second khalifa of Islam that's why they don't name themselves like Omar or the name of any other companion of the Allah's prophet.
What?! No mention of the portuguese Order of Christ? The only difference between the Templar Order in Portugal and the Order of Christ is the name. King Denis changed the name to save it from persecution during that thing with the french king of the time and the pope. It's a well known fact in Portugal. In fact Tomar, the city where the Order was based in, is even today sometimes refered to as the Templar City. It's something that I rarely see referenced when speaking of the Templars and I think is the result of poor research. Not to mention that as a portuguese it really pisses me off.
Then what about the Teutonic Knights and the Hospitaliers (who later became the Knights of Malta) thes two orders were founded shortly after the Templars and still exist today.
RZ-357 I'm not talking about those two orders. I'm talking about the Templars and how everyone claims they stopped existing during the 1300's when the Order of Christ (which, when it was first created, was exactly the same thing but with a different name and a slightly different symbol) still exists today. It's true that today it's only an honorific medal given to people, but it's still a thing. The Order was really important to Portugal. So important, in fact that during the Age of Discoveries (the 1400's/1600's) our ships had the Order's cross adorned on their sails. And if you know anything about Portugal you know that the Age of Discoveries was our kickass time, when during a brief period in time a small nation of relative unimportance was one of the richests and most influential countries in Europe. And that was all due to our navy, and their ability to find and colonize new land. And to have something as cool as Portugal, being the only savior and even today harbourer of the awesome Templar Order, be outright ignored is something that really cuts into my national pride. (if I had any. Our country sucks nowadays, that's my point)
Rodrigo Rodrigues i think it was just another separate order, just like the teutonic Knights and the Knights of Malta were. Even if the Templars were disbanded people still loved the idea of chivalry orders. keep in mind that later knightly orders popped out in europe like mushrooms, any crown in the continent had its own honorific knightly order. In Italy for example besides the hospitaliers (even though they officially settled Rome only in 1863 they always had strong ties with Italy, just like the Templars with France and the Teutonics with the HRE/Germany)we had also the order of the Holy Sepulchre, founded in 1099.
No I think it was the same order but with a different name. All sources that I have found so far claim that te order was created from the portuguese Templar order of the time and the remaining surviving european Templars. King Denis created it to protect them since they were of importance to the country (I think).
Rodrigo Rodrigues maybe , it would have made sense to create a new order as a cover for the portuguese branch of templars, and after the french one (wich was the biggest and more powerful) being wiped out, there was no point of attacking the portuguese branch anyway, since they posed no threat to french crown. But i'm not really convinced.
You're going to hate me for this but I am really sick of everyone spelling it wrong it's spelled as Hashshashin, Hashashin was created by Americans and doesn't even technically exist as a word in Arabic which is where it comes from. It's Hashshashin not Hashashin.
rencrow But if you pay attention the Latin alphabet is inadequate for proper pronunciation as the letter H is still incorrect. We don't use all of the same phonetic sounds in the English language. You might want to rethink him joining the conversation late because he was the first person to respond to you. If you want people to "mind their own business" go find a private place to have your online conversations because your public comments are everybody's business.
After the Assassins became powerful under the leadership of Hassan Sabbah, their enemies started rumors about Hassan Sabbah using unlawful methods to take control of the assassins minds by drugging them (the hash you mentioned) before their missions so that they would be in a different state of mind.
You know, maybe the assassins and templars(from the games) might exist, we don't know history, we only "know" what they told us. Maybe there were assassins with hidden blades, maybe the pieces of Eden exist. Maybe they lie about history to us? Who knows
Yep u may be right. We've been lied to by the white elite for so long and they have so much hidden knowledge and secret artifacts. In the Bible the Ark of the Covenant had so much power that whomever touched it would die or become blind, or the Staff that Moses held up when the Israelites went to war and when he used it to split the Red Sea and performed many other powerful wonders with his Staff. Well Jus like the Apple of Eden had power to kill and control people and the staff Pope Rodrigo Borgia used on Assassins creed so did the first civilization and ancient times these types of things probably did exist. Half the stuff they show u in games or in Hollywood movies do actually exist.
+Bob Turd in the assassin's creed games the people there also don't know about these assassin and templar war so i could, like we are close to finding out the truth so ubisoft (a templar company in this case) makes some video games about so we are like "oh it's just a game it probably isn't real" but then again it's far fetched and just a mind spin so don't take this to seriously

In the AC games someone said (can't remember who it was) that the Creed isn't bound by blood relation but by an idea. So technically the order can be completely destroyed and be rebuilt centuries afterwards by anyone, anywhere if they followed the same idea, the same code.
Just a reminder: The word "Assassin" has nothing to do with "Hashish" = Weed. The Ismailies of Alamout castle of Persia were a group of dedicated muslim warriors who truly believed in their leader Hasan Al-Sabbah and the bond was so mentally strong that they would have committed suicide if he ordered them so. THEY WERE NOT DRUG ADDICTS. Besides, weed is depressant not stimulant! Don't be naive please.
True. The Syrians called them 'Assassins' because they thought the Iranians were so loyal to lay down their lives, they had to be on drugs or hashish. So, it was a derogatory term.
@@vids4791 There are different theories. Some say Assassin comes from اساسیون which means the fundamentalist because the fellows were strict followers of their leader.
you do realize that his blade doesn't have any method of reseting it's spring, or what ever mechanism is in place, so his blade uses infinite energy to mover
no because the Persian assassins were not actually Muslims. They wanted to preserve Persian culture AGAINST the arabs/muslims; of course they did this in secret to avoid persecution
*I’ll say this once. Assassins comes from an Arabic word (حشاشين)/(hashashien) aka people that smokes weed. It started by al Hassan bin sabah, he gathered orphans and homeless kids around Iran and Iraq and gave them shelter and food for years alongside with hard trainings daily with all weapons till they grow up to the age of 18 out of his underground castle he takes them to an oasis after letting them smoke weed for the first time introducing them into beautiful talented women and a heaven looking oasis telling them he’s deputy of god on earth and if they follow his orders they’ll go to the actual paradise. And what orders you ask? Basically assassinating politicians and what not to rule Iran. His fighters also fought the knights of the temple (the Illuminati founders creed)*
Ergentonio1st yea Altair is the original AC game. Im glad they make one about him. Altair was actually my first AC hero XD. But damn, i didnt knew anything about a movie. too bad 2016 :(
The only reason why we cant find the assassins in history is because the brotherhood is that good
Agreed
I saw a video of some Arabic guy that got attacked by assassins and that happend recently

Altair means The Bird in Arabic btw.
Zaber Ansary imagine the bird insulting u .with a bird
altair ibnu la ahad = a bird that is son of no one
الطاهر و ليس الطائر
It mean "the pure" not the bird
The pronunciation is very close but not same
arno, haytham, ezio means eagle too
ahmed wrya rwandwzy yes but his name is Altaïr and not Altahar, the game developer explains that the name Altaïr comes from the Arabic al-nasr al-ṭā'ir (النسر الطائر) which means "eagle (or vulture) in flight".
so templars were Christians and Altair was Muslim?
Juan Estrada yup.during crusades there were three knights organisation who fought against Muslims
1.templars(these were under pope)
2.saint luzaracus(knights of England)
3.knights hospitallier(knights of France)
And there were only one order of assassins.it fought against Christians
The king of France owed a debt to Templars so he captured some Templars and tortured them and made them say that they spat on the cross to portray them as anti christ which led to the dissolving of the Templars
The hashashin were an organization of shia muslims (coming from the Fatimid State: current egypt and north africa) and they carried out assassination contracts against targets they were payed for, be it Sunni muslim leaders(Abbasid State: current Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, KSA and the rest of the arab gulf) or Christian ones.

The first recorded use of the Hidden Blade was dated during the 5th century, in the area known as modern day Iran, when Darius used it to assassinate King Xerxes I. By the High Middle Ages, Assassins were regularly outfitted with a Hidden Blade as part of their equipment. The blades saw wide use for assassinations, as they could be easily kept out of sight and allowed for quicker and stealthier eliminations.

@@JohnSmith-mu8fx I'm unable to provide a specific source for the information you mentioned because it appears to be a part of fictional lore or historical speculation related to the Assassin's Creed video game series. The concept of the Hidden Blade, the Assassins, and their use in history is primarily a creation of the game's narrative and not based on actual historical events.

I read this as soon as he said it on the video
Ezio was a true person but his history was swept away, a report said that a man named Ezio Auditore Da Firenze assassinated Cesare Borgia and that is how Ubisoft came up with Ezio in the game, he also did kill Templars in Italy.

Actually, the "Hashashins" (the Assassins) did survive the mongols but went into hiding until they were recalled by the Ottoman Empire and formally disbanded into another unit.
jiN khan i really hope michael explain about this...
Rashid ad-Din Sinan (Al Mualim) was also a real person and leader of the Assassins. While he died in 1191 in the game, he actually died in 1192 of natural causes at around 57-60 years old. Also, the threat given to Saladin in the game was supposedly done by Altair's father, Umar, which was what led to him being killed. There's a book called "The Templars and the Assassins: The Militia of Heaven" by James Wasserman - it's absolutely fascinating. It really details how both orders came about, their progression, how they fell, and how bipolar the relationship between the two really was.

I actually heard that the Hidden Blade WAS historic to a certain extent. That history is reflected in this traditional part of making a contract which we call a handshake because the handshake originated as a physical demonstration of honesty, showing that you have nothing dangerous underneath your sleeve. This historical idea was demonstrated perfectly but possibly unintentionally by Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Tim Burtan's "Batman."

lol
God damn it, could people just stop saying Illuminati?! No, Templars are NOT Illuminati. The Templars were founded during the crusades, to HELP christian pilgrims, while Illuminati was founded during the 16th or 17th century, in response of the Christian church banning science. Meaning, they were AGAINST the church.
So, please, STOP TALKING ABOUT ILLUMINATI! Thank you.

Sorry but you have your facts totally mixed up and the Illuminati are (or rather were) not bad people and had no bad intentions.
The Illuminati did exist as a secret society but they were secret only to protect themselves from persecution by the all powerful Roman Catholic church. They were all very intelligent and respected scientists philosophers and logical thinkers. One of the original members was Galileo who proved that the Earth rotated around the sun (which it does) but the church held that the sun rotated around the Earth (which it doesn't) because the Earth was the centre of the universe. Even though he was right, he was forced to recant and was held under house arrest for many years.
Once the church lost its power, nearly 200 years ago, the Illuminati ceased to exist because science could be pursued openly and there was no need for secret societies. As a matter of interest, Galileo was a devout Roman Catholic. He also died about 200 years before the secret society was formed in Bavaria and the two groups may have been connected but were not the same entity.
The New World Order (or the Illuminati taking over the world) would have happened many decades ago if it was going to happen at all - but it wasn't because, like the Devil worship nonsense, the whole thing was a malicious rumour set about by the Church to discredit the Illuminati and to maintain their own dubious integrity. Rumours simply developed over time into conspiracy theories. The idea that they still exist and all the melodramatic rubbish that goes with it is perpetuated by those who educate themselves from comic books and movies - the truly great thinkers of the world.
In short, the Illuminati were not evil, they no longer exist but they have been replaced by a number of scams who claim to be Illuminati for their own financial benefit
If you happen to be American, you have nothing to worry about as they never made it to America except in Dan Brown novels, comic books, movies and spurious groups who claim to be the Illuminati.
Anybody who is, or claims to be, in the Illuminati is referring to one of the fake groups. Another point to think about is that if it is a secret society, nobody in it will talk about it. Besides this, the entry requirement was intelligence not cash or fame.
Templars protect Christianity and think about it this back in the 12 century and illuminati was made on May 1 1776

I know tht they have gone out of shape in AC3 but that's pretty much it, I reckon all assassins creeds have had been good and unity has been amazing since it reminds of the good times climbing the stone built cities and exploring it in AC2. By far unity has been the best. Victory looks good aswell although I would prefer it to be on medieval and post medival story trend.
I would agree that Unity is in contention for the best except since patch number 3 I cannot play being signed in to PSN without getting an error code. That pisses me off hence my rationale.

Well the actual Assasin came from the Hashashin order in Persia
Yes ایران پرشیا I'm speaking persian language lol
In the assassins creed universe, rather than the assassins being wiped out by the mongols, Altair being the mentor (who had already made changes to the order's dealings and methods) decided to abandon the main assassin stronghold and sent the remaining assassins to spread over the globe and begin operating completely "off the grid", with the intention of keeping the subtlety to a maximum. This is how it can make sense for there to be assassins from every different kind of culture, And I suppose the same goes for Templars.
What's very sad and a little known fact about the real Assassin Order is that to hide themselves ,though not having retractable blades, they did sometimes hide their knives in their sleeves and shirts.
Next AC should be in Persia covering Hashashins' resistance against the first wave of Mongol horde.
First thought that came to my mind when it was stated that hidden blades did not really exist: "The assassins did their job right."
Darkplayer85 Their called hidden blades for a reason
@@bigbuckss4303 a hidden blade and a secret blade is not the same
Im an Arab and "Assassin" DID NOT COME FROM THE WORD HASHASHIN. it has 4 different meanings, the first came from the word Asas which means base, as these assassins created(based) an army in the Death castle , the 2nd came from "a'ssassoon" which means( people who spend the nights watchin over the castles and protecting it). the 3rd one came from the crusades, they used to call the pro muslim arab killers "assassins" cuz these assassins had the power to kill any enemy, the 4th one which came from the Name hassassan, and hassassan was a muslim who created the groups of assassins. i know its hard to explain it in english.
So the Assasins were originally Muslim and Templar were Christian, no wonder they hate each other
In real life the majority of the Operations that the Assasins carried were against Sunni Muslims, not christians, trougth.
The Flash 2024 what is sunni muslim
The Flash 2024 not all assassin in this world only Altair
The Flash 2024 they never met nor heard nor seen each other
Red Ninja All Assasins were Muslim except some of the recent games.
this is one of the situations where you also have to look back to the games when it comes to some of the equipment. Such as the hidden blades. Much of the equipment is said to be secret and if you look at the material it was made from it wouldn't be too hard to melt the blade down and burn the rest so that it wouldn't be discovered. And it's also supposed to be secret so it's like well why would the reveal themselves if they had survived past the invasions. That's actually one of the premises of the game is that Ezio's grandfather (or great grand father) had found journals of the order and brought them back, which might make it like the free masons without direct correlation, but it means that it could be possible such a brotherhood does exist.
As much as I know the leap of fate is made from a actual suicide jump from their strongholds walls. Salahadin wanted to show his man's royalty by ordering some one to jump down of the wall.He jumped because Assasins's belief in heaven was too strong. They loved death and wanted to die to get to heaven. May not be true, but I heard this from a history teacher back in middle school.
Also I think they made the eden artifacts from the first artifact to be seen in the game: Cup. It was a holy artifact for Templars. Maybe something about prophet Jesus's wine is drinked from that cup? I dont remember. Also 1 of the reasons Templars were strong was that you needed to be both a skilled swordsman and rich. For getting in you needed to donate all your gold to the creed.
salahadin was not their leader.
Salahadin was not part of the Assassins. The assassins were Persians and were not muslims and im pretty sure they attempted to even kill Salahadin as well but i may be mistaken.
ShyanTheLegend No, you're not mistaken. They tried to kill him twice. After that, he slept in a specially made wooden tower on wheels.
That Middle School teacher must me smoking some hashish, or maybe you are. Or maybe you just don't remember what he said exactly. But I am certain he doesn't know much about the Assassins.

So Assassin's Creed is historically accurate... Except for the fact that there are assassins.
FANTASTIC.
and assassins as described in the first installment actually existed during the Crusades. look it up!
only the first game was accurate about the whole assassins brotherhood, the ezio games could never have happened because the last assassin stronghold in alamut was destryoed by kublai khan
3600vegeta
But the last KNOWN Assassin died in the 15th Century, Ezio's timeline
NeroIsPlaying wut, the last assassins were killed in 1265 by the mongols, ezio couldn't have even joined because he wasn't Islamic,
By disbanded he means hunted down, tortured to obtain a "confession" of heresy, and executed.
So it's assassin Muslims vs Templar Christians
***** actually mohammed is right saladin was a hypocrite and a traitor he killed a lot of muslims in egypt know your history
No..... actually the Assassins and the Templars worked together. They are part of the same occult lineage. There were bumpy moments in their relationship and several occasions where they murdered each other and engaged in battle, but the history shows that they often worked together and even fought together. There is much educated speculation which proposes that the Knights Templar learned their occult based semi-Islamic teachings from the Assassins. I believe this is the case, I believe the evidence shows that it is the Templar (along with jewish immigrants) who brought (or rather revived) eastern style occultism in Europe and that this transmission can be followed back directly to the Assassins.

WorshipInTruth Totally agree.
Assassins came from Achachin ( الحشاشون ) it meant in the time , recolting heads , because most of them were peasants ( الحشاشون يحشون الرقاب ) , and they are famous for sneaking close to the targets getting close and friendly to them ( some of them served for more than 5 years to have the chance to kill. in fact they have killed a lot of iconic figures in the east's history

it's interesting to see that in the original Assassin's Creed the assassins had to lose a finger to use the hidden blade effectively. Also if you just kill someone and start playing, you easily get away with it. That was awesome.

Very good observations and statements. It is also worth noting that, in incorporating so many historical events, the game does well in giving the player an immersion in those civilizations.
The retractable blade weapon is actually a real weapon, called the Katar. It wasn't used by the Assassins in the Middle East, but it was actually used by the Rajputs in India. The Katar has also been used as a weapon in the Soul Edge/Calibur series.
Actually, the term "Assassin" Comes from the Arabic word "Hashashin". The Hashashin order that you are talking about was real, but their actual name was "al-da’wa al-jadida" (Arabic for "New Doctrine"). Their enemies called the Hashashins because it was Arabic meaning "Grass User". Hashish was a type of drug that the al-da’wa al-jadida would use before Assassinations to reduce the feelings of pain. So they were called Grass User's. Assassin is literally the modernized word of pot head haha. The modern term of "Assassin" Comes from the 19th century where stories based off of the real Hashashins were made and through translation errors it lead to the name Assassin.
The hashashin were known for using a concoction which included hashish but was principally made up of alcohol.
The whole "grass user" is bull, they didn't directly consume the cannabis plant they used the derivative "hashish" which was and is still widely used throughout Asia today and has strong ties to middle eastern tribes and south east Asian communities.
Cone Dron I got this information from a reliable source, I can give it to you if you want. Like I said, "Hashashin" was not the name of the Assassin order (It was al-da’wa al-jadida), Hashashin was a term given to them by their enemies. So of course it would be seen as insulting. Plus, I am familiar with the Arabic language (Being of Arabic decent myself), Hashashin does mean Grass User (Well, not the exact translation but translation is difficult sometimes. Especially with a language like Arabic).
Remember though, the al-da’wa al-jadida did not call themselves Hashashin, even though Hashish was not the primary drug they consumed it was the most famous according to their enemies and so they were named Hashashin (Grass User, Hashish itself means Grass) by their enemies. You have to understand the fact that their name was not "Hashashin", that was an insult given to them by their enemies.
Assassin can also be interpreted as "Hashashin", from the word "hashish" that was the drug that they smoked.
that make my day
So, our creed still exists....
Hashashin is wrong, that word was a modified version of the word Hashshashin by americans. The 3 terms used by Arabians are Hashshashin, Hashishin or Hashashiyyin these words are then translated to Assassin (both Hashishin/Hashshashin) and Assassiyin.
XxnatrocksxX oh daaang!
Noooooo nonononoooooo. I speak arabic, and there are 2 pronunciations for Hashashin. One way is pronouncing the "H" hard, which means "smokers". Pronouncing the "H" softly means "Assassin".
Watched this video during freshman year in college 10 years ago and randomly wanted to watch it again. Damn time flies
assassins dont exist, or maybe they do, it just depends how good they are
There's tale about how the Assassin Order did exist but it was probably one of those fairy tale in 1001 night of the Arabian. But we will never known cuz even those seem fairy tale some base on real event.
Dong Nguyen TheMetroSounds Did you not see the first part of the video? Or even the rest of it for that matter?
lol the Order Of Assassin's did exist, they were called Hashshashin in Arabic and the word at the start Assassiyin was derived from Hashashiyyin. Just type in Hashshashin in google and go to whatever website you think can give you the most source.
im just saying that if they do exist they are so good we dont know they exist
actually there's a group of Assassin in Middle East (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins) and of course the knight of templar did exist as well (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar)

This is irrelevant but the Japanese Yakuza has existed since 17th century (1600+) so it is possible that the Original Hashshashin do still exist. But are say more restricted due to current law/technology.

The descendants of the assassins are called the ismailis (I believe)
When you talk about assassin weapons you point out that they didn't like to use poison, and imply that the games are wrong on the front. But the Developers have in fact accounted for this. According to the second game the assassins during the crusades didn't use poison but when Altair was in power he lifted the ban because he believed that some situations called for it and as such poison becomes an option in later games.
Actually, the term "assassin" can actually traced even further. The original mentor Hasan bin Sabbah was giving opium to the assassins before sending them to a mission and it rendered them basically fearless. The opium poppy - also called hash - is called "hashash" in Persian and the users called "hashashim" (Medieval Total War players should know). Thus, original world "assassin" basically means drug addict.
i read many times that the Assassins got their name from Hashish, of wich they were regular users.
i'm 98% positive your right... makes me think how much research he put into the whole thing aye?
Chris Dewhurst
the true enemy of the assassins in the modern day plotline should be the DEA not the Templars.
The Knights Templars existed, the Assasins existed. Both were eventually wiped out en masse, after a long time of being very powerful.
The Templars were crushed by the French; the Assassins by invading horse-archers from the steppes (not sure which tribe). Interestingly, they fed their members Hashish, which is where they got their name; and carried out a great many killings- mostly of Arabs before their citadel of Alamut was destroyed. I don't have my Middle ages books handy; so I am forced to use wikipedia as a source to reference to you.
The Templars were powerful, and wealthy- and as such the Pope and the French king, who were both trying to enhance their power & prestige took aim at them; and managed to destroy them. I cannot speak to the Templar's motives, or abilities to carry out those motives; but those claims seem a bit fanciful to believe.
It is possible that members of those organizations still exist, though highly unlikely given when they were obliterated; that being said- dogma used by them persists in many areas, such as the virgins when you martyr yourself (which did come from the koran, but was misused by the cult of assasins, as it is being done so now by terrorists).
LAstly, at the risk of ticking off fanatics world-wide; those tales are stories. Allegories, tales of morals and origins; and are not real. There are kernels of truth in them sure, but they are no more word for word real than the Iliad or Odyssey.
kaleb booth booth Aren't they supposed to be descendents of the ancient Persian order of the Hashashins?
he Hashashin, also spelled Hashashiyyin or Hashshashin, were a radical sect within the Nizari Ismaili branch of Shi'i Islam. They formed during the 11th century and lasted until the 13th century. The group came to be known as something of an assassin's cult, a reputation they earned by their habit of covertly gaining access to high-profile political targets before murdering them in broad daylight. As a result, some believe that the word "assassin" originated from the name of this sect, a connection that's not difficult to make in light of their legendary brutality. The order was headquartered in Alamut, located in the Alborz Mountains of Persian Iran, and from this strategic center, they spread their operations out over various regions in Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Syria.
Toward the end of the 11th century, Ismaili leader Hassan al-Sabah formed his assassin's group, primarily as a counter-movement to al-Musta'li, the new caliph of the Egyptian Fatimid Empire. The empire had undergone a political coup, through which the ailing Caliph's younger son, al-Musta'li, was appointed the new ruler. The rightful heir apparent, al-Musta'li's older brother Nizār, was subsequently killed in an attempt to wrest back control of the empire. Hassan had been a supporter of Nizār, and this episode is the reason why the Hashashin have also been called the Nizari.

Along with the Tomahawk Axe he holds.
He should have mentioned that Hassan i-Sabbah appears in the game under the name Al mualim and the quote "nothing is true, everything is permitted" was actually said by him. And if we aren't focusing on the Order of Assassins, there are a lot of actual historical characters in the game (With more accurate appearances than Hassan)

The "Knights Templar" were the real life Assassins order. They fought for human rights, assassinated corrupted public figures and "politicians". I watched a documentary about them, and the whole time I kept thinking, "wow, they are the real life Assassins Creed".
The "Hashashins" was a order of assassins, but they assassinated people for their own good, not for the people.
- Gamericious - When the Mongols attacked Alamut, the Assassins surrendered themselves in hopes that the Mongols will not slaughter their people. The Mongols executed many Assassins, but they kept the civilians alive. They sacrificed themselves. They don't seem that bad.

John Melika The assassins were Ismaili muslims who fought not only the crussaders but other muslims too
John Melika the assasins were ismaili muslims not hindu or buddhists lol wtf u smoking?
speaking of smoking, the muslim assasins used to get paid in hash/weed.
shock He's talking about the in game Assassins, not the ones in real life.
I thought the term Assassin comes from Ḥashshāshīn ( Arabic) , which comes from Hashish (Weed) they were given to smoke , so they feel themselves in "heaven".
Hashishin = users of hashish
That's just a legend.
Forward Looking You're right, I speak Arabic and there isn't a word pronounced Assassiyun. But historians still debate this.
Hasheesh*
GreyFace There are 5 main theories:
1) They smoked hashish, therefore, Hashashins
2) They didn't smoke hashish and it was just an insult.
3) They confused them with Sufis that did smoke hashish.
4) It comes from the word Hashem meaning a member of an Arab princely family claiming descent from Hashim, great-grandfather of Muhammad.
5) It means followers of Hassan-i Sabbah, or, Ahul Hassan.
Forward Looking But there is no proof for this theory. There isn't any evidence. It's not like we ever found a pipe while digging at Alamut or something. But maybe they did. We don't know. And that's what makes history so much more interesting.
past time :assassins

Note down what I have learned in my Islamic tradition class. Salah al-Din was actually the guy that gathered up the Muslims to fight off the Christian army in Jerusalem.
Yup he was a great Mujahid. A very respected personality in all Muslims.
He was also a tyrant when 50,000 Shiites were killed in Egypt
the name "Assasin" was derived from the Arabic word hashashin which means hasheesh. the assassin's would use hasheesh before the kill
That’s actually a huge misconception. Most likely a lie concocted by the enemies of the Fidai/Assassins to discredit them and to paint them in a negative light of sorts.
In ac revelation game Altair say"my name is Altair son of Omar" while Shiite hate the name Omar because it's the name of second khalifa of Islam that's why they don't name themselves like Omar or the name of any other companion of the Allah's prophet.

King Denis changed the name to save it from persecution during that thing with the french king of the time and the pope. It's a well known fact in Portugal. In fact Tomar, the city where the Order was based in, is even today sometimes refered to as the Templar City.
It's something that I rarely see referenced when speaking of the Templars and I think is the result of poor research. Not to mention that as a portuguese it really pisses me off.
Then what about the Teutonic Knights and the Hospitaliers (who later became the Knights of Malta) thes two orders were founded shortly after the Templars and still exist today.
RZ-357 I'm not talking about those two orders. I'm talking about the Templars and how everyone claims they stopped existing during the 1300's when the Order of Christ (which, when it was first created, was exactly the same thing but with a different name and a slightly different symbol) still exists today. It's true that today it's only an honorific medal given to people, but it's still a thing. The Order was really important to Portugal. So important, in fact that during the Age of Discoveries (the 1400's/1600's) our ships had the Order's cross adorned on their sails. And if you know anything about Portugal you know that the Age of Discoveries was our kickass time, when during a brief period in time a small nation of relative unimportance was one of the richests and most influential countries in Europe. And that was all due to our navy, and their ability to find and colonize new land.
And to have something as cool as Portugal, being the only savior and even today harbourer of the awesome Templar Order, be outright ignored is something that really cuts into my national pride. (if I had any. Our country sucks nowadays, that's my point)
Rodrigo Rodrigues
i think it was just another separate order, just like the teutonic Knights and the Knights of Malta were. Even if the Templars were disbanded people still loved the idea of chivalry orders. keep in mind that later knightly orders popped out in europe like mushrooms, any crown in the continent had its own honorific knightly order. In Italy for example besides the hospitaliers (even though they officially settled Rome only in 1863 they always had strong ties with Italy, just like the Templars with France and the Teutonics with the HRE/Germany)we had also the order of the Holy Sepulchre, founded in 1099.
No I think it was the same order but with a different name. All sources that I have found so far claim that te order was created from the portuguese Templar order of the time and the remaining surviving european Templars. King Denis created it to protect them since they were of importance to the country (I think).
Rodrigo Rodrigues
maybe , it would have made sense to create a new order as a cover for the portuguese branch of templars, and after the french one (wich was the biggest and more powerful) being wiped out, there was no point of attacking the portuguese branch anyway, since they posed no threat to french crown. But i'm not really convinced.
Hard to imagine these days a politician more interested in the welfare of their county than getting money and keeping power, isn't it?
I love this dudes Earth Bound videos, nobody else has gone into so much detail.
1:20
For a second, I thought that was Joan of Arc
I started this series, and y'all steal it, nice
they didnt steal it, probably dont even know about your channel
I doubt it
LOL
ignore my comment now... woopz
***** You've got the wrong guy, AJC.
Next time, reply to the right person.
Are you kidding me ? the freemasons have no direct relation to the templars ? haha .... you're kidding right ?
Liked that they used footage from Liberty's Kids. I fucks with that show when i was younger.
When you come way back here and you`re like: Who are you? We want Jack
my gaylien life?
Not even gonna fight u over this, thats honestly a good solid pun.
+MyAlienLife all it was meant lol
Who is this "Joey"? Where's Jake?!
What about Chandler?
I got an Assassin's Creed ad
Noice
Liberty's Kids!!! That clip at 3:43 totally took me back to 3rd grade. I loved that show!
You're going to hate me for this but I am really sick of everyone spelling it wrong it's spelled as Hashshashin, Hashashin was created by Americans and doesn't even technically exist as a word in Arabic which is where it comes from. It's Hashshashin not Hashashin.
Well I always thought of the way you say it as the extra "sh" is pronounced like the extra "s" or "n" in a word.
They spelled the word using the Latin alphabet? Interesting.
You came to this conversation late you need to mind your own business ;D
rencrow
But if you pay attention the Latin alphabet is inadequate for proper pronunciation as the letter H is still incorrect. We don't use all of the same phonetic sounds in the English language. You might want to rethink him joining the conversation late because he was the first person to respond to you.
If you want people to "mind their own business" go find a private place to have your online conversations because your public comments are everybody's business.
Assassiyun is derived from Hashashshiyin
I thought "assassin" came from the word "Hashashin" which means "they who use hash" (And no I'm really not making this up)
After the Assassins became powerful under the leadership of Hassan Sabbah, their enemies started rumors about Hassan Sabbah using unlawful methods to take control of the assassins minds by drugging them (the hash you mentioned) before their missions so that they would be in a different state of mind.
Oh oke thanks!
Mashallah
I've finished that game 5 times each. My favorite game
You know, maybe the assassins and templars(from the games) might exist, we don't know history, we only "know" what they told us. Maybe there were assassins with hidden blades, maybe the pieces of Eden exist. Maybe they lie about history to us? Who knows
Yep u may be right. We've been lied to by the white elite for so long and they have so much hidden knowledge and secret artifacts. In the Bible the Ark of the Covenant had so much power that whomever touched it would die or become blind, or the Staff that Moses held up when the Israelites went to war and when he used it to split the Red Sea and performed many other powerful wonders with his Staff. Well Jus like the Apple of Eden had power to kill and control people and the staff Pope Rodrigo Borgia used on Assassins creed so did the first civilization and ancient times these types of things probably did exist. Half the stuff they show u in games or in Hollywood movies do actually exist.
I know I was making fun of people who believe that this stuff is real and is kept in secret.
+Bob Turd in the assassin's creed games the people there also don't know about these assassin and templar war so i could, like we are close to finding out the truth so ubisoft (a templar company in this case) makes some video games about so we are like "oh it's just a game it probably isn't real" but then again it's far fetched and just a mind spin so don't take this to seriously
@@kkpalmer4873 everything has happened because Allah has willed it those ''stories'' are true the stick was a normal stick that moses peace be upon but God turned it into a snake when the sea opened up it did by the will of Allah and after Moses pbuh left the sea it swallowed the enemies that followed Moses pbuh and one of those enemies was the pharaoh who turned people away from God claiming he was the son of god and a god himself that was the worst possible thing a human can do and he tried to seek forgivness to late and Allah made it so his body is preserved to this day as a message to us but do we believe in it no we are now forsaking the road to heaven and for what? Worldy gain which gives neither happines nor contempt it is sad what we do to ourselves please brother or sister find Allah only in him do we find true peace and he will forgive you only need to ask for it he will forgive anything we do in life but we have to ask for forgivness we must unite brother towards the common enemy that keeps us away from our lord why sell ourselves for this world and what a measly 80 years and some people dont even make it to 20 years letalone 80 remember this world is short and it might hurt you and try to destroy you but in the end we will have everything in the hereafter we will have eternity in heaven and we will see our lord which is the best thing in existence read the Qur'an it will show you the way towards peace and haplines
this was made exactly a year ago :P
I'm descended from the ancestor of the originals assassins.
+Shahin Najafi *reads history*
the true assassins are from brazil the favelas my brothers, porra caral
I'm Iranian bwahahahaha
In the AC games someone said (can't remember who it was) that the Creed isn't bound by blood relation but by an idea. So technically the order can be completely destroyed and be rebuilt centuries afterwards by anyone, anywhere if they followed the same idea, the same code.
was that adtually seriously footage of bibi blocksberg?
my little nephew watches it
Just a reminder: The word "Assassin" has nothing to do with "Hashish" = Weed. The Ismailies of Alamout castle of Persia were a group of dedicated muslim warriors who truly believed in their leader Hasan Al-Sabbah and the bond was so mentally strong that they would have committed suicide if he ordered them so. THEY WERE NOT DRUG ADDICTS.
Besides, weed is depressant not stimulant! Don't be naive please.
True. The Syrians called them 'Assassins' because they thought the Iranians were so loyal to lay down their lives, they had to be on drugs or hashish. So, it was a derogatory term.
@@vids4791 There are different theories. Some say Assassin comes from اساسیون which means the fundamentalist because the fellows were strict followers of their leader.
Beginning: The history of assassins and knights templar.
After a few minutes: The US congress
WTF?
I like how Altair was a Muslim and a Syrian! Just like me c:
Have you played AC2
fun fact asasiyun now means Mains or primary in arabic
an example for it in use is "I use rengar and teemo as my assassiyun in league"
No one has gotten the hiddenblade design right, not even the maker of the game which is very very strange. I believe i figured it out though.
you do realize that his blade doesn't have any method of reseting it's spring, or what ever mechanism is in place, so his blade uses infinite energy to mover
Its not a resetting spring. Ever hear of a OTF knife?
Didn't the AWEme channel do it.
Go to the awe me channel they did it and they make alot of weopons from games with high quality
yeah and they still havent gotten the mechanism right

@@zakariachakiri6373 ما اظن. هذولا مجرد قطاعين طرق و حشاشين
هههههه العصور مليئة بقطاع طرق هل في قطاع طرق شهرو هالشهرة 😂😂 هل قطاع طرق كان يزعزعون العالم من الخوف لما يسمعو اسمهم ؟هذه طائفة شيعية قوية
I'm Muslim that means I'm assassin
no because the Persian assassins were not actually Muslims. They wanted to preserve Persian culture AGAINST the arabs/muslims; of course they did this in secret to avoid persecution
*I’ll say this once. Assassins comes from an Arabic word (حشاشين)/(hashashien) aka people that smokes weed. It started by al Hassan bin sabah, he gathered orphans and homeless kids around Iran and Iraq and gave them shelter and food for years alongside with hard trainings daily with all weapons till they grow up to the age of 18 out of his underground castle he takes them to an oasis after letting them smoke weed for the first time introducing them into beautiful talented women and a heaven looking oasis telling them he’s deputy of god on earth and if they follow his orders they’ll go to the actual paradise. And what orders you ask? Basically assassinating politicians and what not to rule Iran. His fighters also fought the knights of the temple (the Illuminati founders creed)*
Oh God. The comment section here is TERRIBLE! Awful!
indeed, every comment, beside ours, is religious and that kind of crap talkings about crusaders blah blah blah
Blitzbanmagarin So, are you excited for the upcoming AC movie?
Ergentonio1st
there is a movie coming out? dayum didnt even knnow. but yeah ofc
Blitzbanmagarin Yeah, in 2016 about AC1. I wouldn't preferred if it would just be about Altair. We'll probably get some screen shots this year.
Ergentonio1st
yea Altair is the original AC game. Im glad they make one about him. Altair was actually my first AC hero XD. But damn, i didnt knew anything about a movie. too bad 2016 :(
Actually, assassin was derived from "Hashshashin" or "Hashashiyyin", but you got their story more or less correct.
ah yes, gothic 3 and varrant desert :P
no assassin comes from "Hshashin"= to singular> hashish=> WEED XD
Yay some one who actually knows the real orgin . kudos
+LeGunslinger But hshashin means also "scum" or trash people... It is not confirmed that assassin's smoked weed everyday
Kopperston
Go check wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins
Hassan Sabbah. was a stoner. :)
Maybe, but it's still not confirmed that assassins used drugs :D
Kopperston They used it, or they where mad enogh to not having to use it :3
I like how he used Liberty's Kids clips . Wasn't expecting that.
