Well, I disagree that the Sassanids destroyed themselves moreso than that basic human greed and distrust from the people did. The govt. of the Sassnid Empire have actually been much more stable and competent than any other nations of their time. You can't control monetary losses due to people drifting away from their policies, or lunatic mass-murderers from carrying out their violent whims. I still believe Persian Empires still do things best, despite their inevitable fall. And firstly that comes from investing more in consolidating your culture and customs and forms of thinkings (Iranians) than investing in violence or violent control of people (Greeks, Arabs, Mongols, etc.) This is why after 2550 years, Iranians are still Iranian, practing an Iranian thought process, and practicing Iranian culture, on Iranian soil. The same cannot be said for its past enemies.
@@saeedvazirian What about Greek? Greeks are also practicing Christianity in their own way .Greece also has Huge Influence on Christianity like Iran has on Islam.
Wow thank you so much for this Epimetheus! I picked an interest for the Sassanid empire as a result of me being also fascinated with the Eastern Roman empire and so I appreciate this video about the Sassanids. They’re definitely a civilisation worth knowing about for me.
Thanks Aristedes! Same here. I first read about them years ago concerning their interactions with Rome, and the more I have read on them since I am shocked there is not more content, movies documentaries on them because they played such an important central role in history for such a long time.
Epimetheus yes indeed they played a role for a long time. I can’t help but reflect on the fact that the roman empire lasted long after the Sassanids were gone.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) -------
I know you're joking, but Carus was actually killed by the Persians. Roman propaganda was silly enough to blame his death on a lightening strike in order to cover up the humiliation, kind of like how they tried to cover up the killing of Gordian III by the Persians and the capture of Valerian in battle rather than during negotiations.
@@muricamarine9473 Your are moaning like a baby,, next time he will make a video about your shit hole country,, or better we let you call your self Iranian.
@Arina _7799 It's sad, I wish peace for Iranians, but at the same time I know it would come at the cost of many lives, through civil war against the Islamic radicals.
@Pedophile Muhammad Im iranian muslim and know what islam is. You should read some books about islam. Islam is what a human society need to became powerful
Great video like always! Persia has such an amazing history. Its crazy to think that this is only one of dozens of Persian empires that would change the region and the world.
IS it the History of Persia? Or you want to make, everything happened in Iran, Persians? . Have ever read what Ardawan calls Ardasher Sassany in his letter? He calls him "your nomadic Kurd, the son of nomadic education... .., How dare you call your self Shahansha? Tell me what this tells you about Sassanids. You can read this in Tabaries history.
Awesome. Of all the "Historical vids featuring maps and narration" RUclipsrs I follow (basically all of them) you're my favorite by far. Excellent narration and very informative.

@معارج حسن boi you just got exposed. You aren't even a Persian, but you're simping so hard for our culture that you're trying to revive a national myth that was proven wrong. Islam brought out the best of us. We are now a pious people who believe in and contributed greatly to the true faith, and Zoroastrianism is an outdated form of Islam that was crushed by the Prophet's companions.
@Pedophile Muhammad nah, they good in my book bruh, as long as they fight western degeneracy they good for me. ayatollahs boys r curentlly best thing iran can get and for that i support them
@@JohnKastoras noble prizes u can freely take out, mostly won by jews. 1,2,4 r true. num5 doesnt really matter cuz to easy life breeds moral degeneracy that kill empires from inside. look at rome, same shit is happening to US and its tributaries in europe. and jhon, i am aryan, like u. maybe little more then u but that is not problem for me.
@@saeedvazirian Diplomacy was often times called "war by different means" for the Romans, the fact their rivalry started with a random invasion from Crassus shows it was never going to last
@@christianriddler5063 and why is that a bad thing? Islam objectively aided the Persian people to find their best selves. The search to understand Allah through Science led to Persian scholars being the backbone of Islamic Scholasticism.
@@sobitasadullah4517 Look at the technological and societal difference between Western Europe (which was Christian) and the Middle-East (which was islamic) during the dawn of the modern era (1800s) and you will see how detrimental that religion was to the progress of the Persians and the rest of the Middle-East. You will also see how Christianity did the exact opposite of islam not only in scripture but also in economic as well as societal results. Turns out that if you have a peaceful religion like Christianity your civilisation becomes much more powerful than any other. It's the will of God.
@@christianriddler5063 your interpretation of history lacks nuance. From the Early Middle Ages to the 1200s, Islam was the centre of culture, knowledge, and wisdom. Scientists sought to understand Allah through his creation, and revolutionized mathematics, geometry, astronomy, medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, and so on. Christians were fighting amongst themselves, trapped in Europe at war. But then the Black plague came. Then the Mongol horde. Then the Timurids. Tens of millions of people died in the Islamic world, first to disease, then to the world's worst murderers. As a result, the islamic world adopted conservative traditions to cling onto what stability was left. It could have recovered if it wasn't for the Europeans, whose enlightenment ideas were found by rediscovering Greek and Roman culture from conquering Al-Andalus and (for a time in the Crusades) Jerusalem, found two new mostly uninhabited continents with resources that were completely untouched. At that point Christianity outpaced Islam. But then when it comes to ages of Science among Christians, the 1700s Enlightenment and age of revolution only came from essentially abandoning Christianity. The West adopted Secularism and Atheism, and abandoned religion in general.
Such a great video, i couldn't take my eyes off the screen even for a second, very well written, narrated and animated. Good job, looking forward to more of your videos.
The history is written by the Victors. From the time of merging Achaemenide dynasty and Median Empire, people think that Iran means Persians, if you don't have a state you can't re-write the history
Ancient Hoplite Parsa means noble in Persian. It's a different word than Pars (Tho might share the same origin becuz they sound really similar) which means Persis or you could say Persia( I don't think there is any equivalent for Persia in the Persian language since such terms were never used.)

The Sassanid Empire was as powerful and rich as the Roman Empire. The Sassanid Empire internal politic was baseon the balance of power between the king, the nobility and the priesthood. the Sassanian Empire foreign policy was base on fighting the Roman Empire and the Central Asian nomads. Three Roman Emperors died in war with the Sassanian empire. Epimetheus great video and nice animation.
Yea bro . Those morally curropt and abusing zoroastrian prists were the bane of those kingdoms always . Injecting toxic life styles and rotting courts after a few generations in with a dynasty
It was not as rich and powerful as the Roman Empire before the split. It was a match for the Eastern Roman Empire but the Romans always were stronger due to them having a higher population base, high urbanisation, industry and bigger economy.

That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return.

Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten.

Sasanian shahahanshas were absolutely greater than any you watch in Game of Thrones! They were real high educated, crafty warriors and had every elements of majesty blood and phylum of that time. It is said that Shahpur has the epithet "broad-shouldered" specifically "two shoulder” because of his height and his powerful body. The temporary Roman historians in Sassanid era described Persian men as tall,white skin, strong with braided dense beard and hair. They described Sasanian Shahanshahs as blue blooded, magnate, patrician, well born and real aristocrats. The story of Arab’s raid shows that the game of power and prejudice about being noble and high level results in destroying of a great empire and captivating a great nation.
به فارسی مینویسم دوستان ایرانی اول بدانند اول از همه ساسانیان از نژاد سکاها بودند در سیبری و ازبکستان زندگی میکردند به ایران امدند و بعد به هند رفتند هندی ها انها را بیرون کردند سپس به ایران بازگشتند و اشکانیان را شکست دادند ساسانیان تنها سلسله امپراطوری در تاریخ است که با دو اسم ساسانیان پارسی و ساسانیان سکایی معرفی شده اند. فرزندان ساسانیان هنوز در بین ما هستند انها در کشورهای مختلف زیادی زندگی میکنند .انها به زودی باز خواهند گشت
Thank you man, i can tell you put in quite the effort. Keep it up! you give me something to look forward to in my days. i just love history and think you're re-telling it well.
@@EpimetheusHistory All you persian knows that SASSANIAN were not persian . and Medyes not persian . but you keep stealing the Medyes kurds history . damn
Great video! Keep up this overlooked and fascinating topics!!! Though, i must say, most historians believe that Hephtalites and Kidarites were actually Eastern Iranic speaking groups(tho im certain that Turkic elements were also present)
I literally watched it in one breath! AMAZING video! Small note; you should have included a little bit more the last 30 years of the Sasanian house and the campains (and debacle) of the last ill-fated Sasanian king, Yezdigird the 3rd. Also, it is said in History books that the move of the Capital city from Istaxr to Qtesiphon by Šahpur was a “daring move to keep the Roman Empire in check”. A VERY daring move indeed, how many similar examples exist in History?? In general; congrats, an AMAZING video on one of the most amazing Empires of History, or how “Iran was reborn from the Ashes of the destroyed Achamenid Iran after Alexander of Macedon. This will probably the first channel on RUclips i’ll patreon, great job!
Ironic thing is that the Romans too, under Constantine the Great, moved their capital from Rome to Constantinople, closer to the Persian border, thus keeping the Sassanids in check.

Great vid, I start gaining interest in ancient (Bronze Age) and medieval Middle East history some 10 years ago ... felt it was shame no English language channel was covering it on YT ... here you are! Thank you for that, keep up the great work！
Cool video. Shows that Armenia was never fully conquered. However, the local lords of Armenia were the main problem for the state to unify and get independence.
21 min + plus what an absolute whopper of a video! And so much info densely packed, very nice. Constructive criticism: there's so much content here to make it worthwhile to split the video into at least two. Also, how you brought the coins to live with the drawing, that was very, very good! Thank you!
Thanks Docor! Yeah, this video was a bit of an experiment to see how a longer video will do. I am thinking 10 mins is a good typical length with a short or long one here or there...but not sure. Glad you liked the coin thing :)
@@EpimetheusHistory I could watch a couple hours of your videos. As long as Im learning about new material or reviewing the stuff I enjoyed in the past.
Shapur the great Glad you liked it. For one of the greatest empire ever I have always been surprised there is not more media on them out there. Hopefully, this changes would love to see a movie or a TV show on them one day.
1:30 slight correction, the Parthians were hardly Greco Persian. It was slight posturing for trade purposes. They were thoroughly Iranian in custom and NOT seen as foreigners by their contemporaries or successors
They were not Persians they were merely Iranians, a lot of people were Iranians but because they weren't persians they were technically foreigners to the throne that belonged to the persians. And that's what he means, as back then there was very little notion of all Indo-Iranians being called Iranians. Medians, Scythians, , kurds, balochi, pashtun are all Iranian too yet they aren't Persian
@@arifahmedkhan9999 This may be partially true but it’s important to remember there was a distinction made for “Aryans” since the time of Achaemenids. Darius says he’s a Persian yes, he also notes he’s an Aryan. Herodotus (he has issues don’t get me wrong) there wasn’t much difference between Medes, Persians, Parthians and otherwise. Saying the Parthians were foreign is like saying the Qing dynasty is foreign to China or even better the Seljuks are foreign to Iran. There needs to be a better way of articulating someone who is not a usual member of ruling class but not entirely alien to the culture or country.
Iran has always been a strong nation, ever since descending from Scythia Aryas upon Elam, founding Eran. Iran was able to have its own independent revolution and make a Republic, but unfortunately British oilmen didn't want to lose their source of fortune so they told the US that Iran was underthreat of a communist revolution so for the first time the US enacted a regime change outside of wartime based on a lie and they set up a puppet dictatorship. One extreme begat a polar opposite extreme and opportunistic tyrants took control on the basis of anti-western fundamentalism. It is my hope that Iran can undergo another independent revolution and return to the republicanism that they once established themselves and go back to being the shining light of the near east. And America needs to stay out of it
actually they didn't like Shah because of the control that Shah had on oil price, Shah had plans to make Iran great and powerful again (in economic, military, ....). so they help Khomeini, ....
@@OsmanOsmanHan Actually, the turks made Iran strong again. It was the Safavids who saved Iran from Ottoman and Uzbek incursions, same with Nader Shah. Turks have been an important part of Iranian history since they first entered the plateau and as a Persian I will forever be grateful for their sacrifice.
How can you blame the 'anti-western fundamentalists' if clearly they were right and correct in their opinion. Your comment is a shitshow of blaming everyone and believing you are infallible. Get off your high horse. Iran should have no more revolusions, It is rpud, independent and stable now. It's time for the West to revolutionise and get rid of your shitty dickhead leaders.
Valerian was kept in bondage and was used by the Persian king as a chair when mounting his horse. At the end of his life, he was stuffed like an animal and the king kept him like a hunting trophy.
Except that this was most probably made up by a contemporary christian historian because christians wanted to say "anti-christian emperors got what they deserved". There is no real record of Valerian being treated harshly, in Iranian records he is shown holding hands of the shah, which shows submission but also he is shown to be forgiven and let live. He and his soldiers were sent to one of the newly created cities and lived there. Roman soldiers and engineers built dams and other public infrastructure. Valerian was probably just kept as a possible future negotiation piece and let live among his roman soldiers
I think 18:30 and on is the most interesting takeaway from this. The future could have been entirely different had Phokas not rebelled and killed Emperor Maurice - who himself would have made an incredibly interesting alternate future for the empire. A Persian and Roman/Greek alliance would have been glorious.
I have always seen this as one of the greatest far reaching decisions ever. Maurikios ordering his soldiers to march along the Danuvian Limes without proper payment. If he had taken a more reasonable decision, and abandoned unneeded lands like Roman Spain to the allied Visigoths, Phokas would not have gained power and Carthage and Spain would have had enough manpower and security to hold off the Muslim Invasions.
Thankyou verymuch for sharing this valuable information of persian empire. As an Iranian always wanted to know the history of this ancient empire which once belonged to our Ancestor

Well, I disagree that the Sassanids destroyed themselves moreso than that basic human greed and distrust from the people did. The govt. of the Sassnid Empire have actually been much more stable and competent than any other nations of their time. You can't control monetary losses due to people drifting away from their policies, or lunatic mass-murderers from carrying out their violent whims.
I still believe Persian Empires still do things best, despite their inevitable fall. And firstly that comes from investing more in consolidating your culture and customs and forms of thinkings (Iranians) than investing in violence or violent control of people (Greeks, Arabs, Mongols, etc.)
This is why after 2550 years, Iranians are still Iranian, practing an Iranian thought process, and practicing Iranian culture, on Iranian soil. The same cannot be said for its past enemies.

Wow thank you so much for this Epimetheus! I picked an interest for the Sassanid empire as a result of me being also fascinated with the Eastern Roman empire and so I appreciate this video about the Sassanids. They’re definitely a civilisation worth knowing about for me.
Thanks Aristedes! Same here. I first read about them years ago concerning their interactions with Rome, and the more I have read on them since I am shocked there is not more content, movies documentaries on them because they played such an important central role in history for such a long time.
Epimetheus yes indeed they played a role for a long time. I can’t help but reflect on the fact that the roman empire lasted long after the Sassanids were gone.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

@@christianriddler5063 your interpretation of history lacks nuance. From the Early Middle Ages to the 1200s, Islam was the centre of culture, knowledge, and wisdom. Scientists sought to understand Allah through his creation, and revolutionized mathematics, geometry, astronomy, medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, and so on. Christians were fighting amongst themselves, trapped in Europe at war. But then the Black plague came. Then the Mongol horde. Then the Timurids. Tens of millions of people died in the Islamic world, first to disease, then to the world's worst murderers. As a result, the islamic world adopted conservative traditions to cling onto what stability was left. It could have recovered if it wasn't for the Europeans, whose enlightenment ideas were found by rediscovering Greek and Roman culture from conquering Al-Andalus and (for a time in the Crusades) Jerusalem, found two new mostly uninhabited continents with resources that were completely untouched. At that point Christianity outpaced Islam. But then when it comes to ages of Science among Christians, the 1700s Enlightenment and age of revolution only came from essentially abandoning Christianity. The West adopted Secularism and Atheism, and abandoned religion in general.

Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

That was really good. I could never grasp the magnitude of the Sassanid empire. The role of religion and the changing relations between diferent religions and empers is fascinating. Zoroastrians, Anahites, Maniqueists, Christians, Jews... what a mess! Thanks for the lecture!
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them.

Yeah!
What makes your channel unique is you show the map 100% of the time, so watchers doesnt get lost. I appreciate that.
What an amazing empire! 🔥🔥🔥
The Sassanid Empire was as powerful and rich as the Roman Empire. The Sassanid Empire internal politic was baseon the balance of power between the king, the nobility and the priesthood. the Sassanian Empire foreign policy was base on fighting the Roman Empire and the Central Asian nomads. Three Roman Emperors died in war with the Sassanian empire. Epimetheus great video and nice animation.
Too bad they didn't last as long as the romans did
Yea bro . Those morally curropt and abusing zoroastrian prists were the bane of those kingdoms always . Injecting toxic life styles and rotting courts after a few generations in with a dynasty
All three fell at the hands of Shapur
It was not as rich and powerful as the Roman Empire before the split. It was a match for the Eastern Roman Empire but the Romans always were stronger due to them having a higher population base, high urbanisation, industry and bigger economy.
@@zippyparakeet1074 well still 3 roman emperors still fell to shapur i even before the spliit valerian, godian, phillip got destroyed lmao shapur captured valerian first time ever that a roman emperor is taken
Thank you for covering Sassanid persian empire.
Suggestion: A video about safavid persian empire will be appreciated as well. Good work as always🙏
@MA A it's in the west the people have a lot of fairy tale story about the persian. People in Iran consider themselves above the rest as Iranians. This is what gives them national pride. everything else comes second.
How is the empire Persian if the founders have Kurdish heritage? And were trusting the Kurds with protecting the borders of the empire not the so called Persians?
@@breitgebauterlad8068 bro "Persia" Is a term used by Westerners to describe all Iranian empires it doesn't mean they are all Persian.
@@breitgebauterlad8068 kurdish heritage??!no.iranic heritage
@@breitgebauterlad8068 It was second persian empire form Persis ,It has nothing to do with you
Great work! Thanks a lot for the effort. Persia always rises again like a Phoenix
Man I've just started binge watching your videos, they're efficiently informative, and include witty remarks. It's very fun to watch them. Thank you!
Excellent. This is a period I'm deeply interested in, and Epimetheus does a great job explaining it clearly.

Mee to
Love to Tajik Persians
I am always overwhelmed with joy when I see a new video. Keep on the awsome work.
Glad I can bring some joy to your life! I will try my best to keep doing so :)
The sassanids had the best cavalry of their age until the rise of knights
Ive read that knights were heavily based off of Persian cavalry
@Grant Willis yup
*laughing in arabic
@Pedophile Muhammad i like your name
They probably had one of the best, the Armenians had just as good heavy cavalry/cataphracts, as the Persians said themselves. But there was also the Byzantine Scholarii.
I was waiting for this episode for a while
A great nation like Persia should always try to rise again!
Already has. Iran is virtually practicing an identical style of govt. as the Achaemenids.
@@saeedvazirian i don't think it s like achemenied empire. But I hope it s get stronger. But u gotto admit Iran has redicoules rules and it shouldn't be Islamic . shariaw law ,hejab force,killing a Muslim when he leaves Islam and etc.
just rose to be called terrorist by bunch of Yankees
@@saeedvazirian Like the either guy said. If this style is identical, then the Achaemenids really were the "bad guys" after all.
@@Userius1 Not quote. Irony as you say that but somehow consider the ancient Persians as 'better.'

God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

A video on Nader shah please
Sasanian shahahanshas were absolutely greater than any you watch in Game of Thrones! They were real high educated, crafty warriors and had every elements of majesty blood and phylum of that time. It is said that Shahpur has the epithet "broad-shouldered" specifically "two shoulder” because of his height and his powerful body. The temporary Roman historians in Sassanid era described Persian men as tall,white skin, strong with braided dense beard and hair. They described Sasanian Shahanshahs as blue blooded, magnate, patrician, well born and real aristocrats. The story of Arab’s raid shows that the game of power and prejudice about being noble and high level results in destroying of a great empire and captivating a great nation.
به فارسی مینویسم دوستان ایرانی اول بدانند اول از همه ساسانیان از نژاد سکاها بودند در سیبری و ازبکستان زندگی میکردند به ایران امدند و بعد به هند رفتند هندی ها انها را بیرون کردند سپس به ایران بازگشتند و اشکانیان را شکست دادند ساسانیان تنها سلسله امپراطوری در تاریخ است که با دو اسم ساسانیان پارسی و ساسانیان سکایی معرفی شده اند. فرزندان ساسانیان هنوز در بین ما هستند انها در کشورهای مختلف زیادی زندگی میکنند .انها به زودی باز خواهند گشت

AMAZING video!
Small note; you should have included a little bit more the last 30 years of the Sasanian house and the campains (and debacle) of the last ill-fated Sasanian king, Yezdigird the 3rd.
Also, it is said in History books that the move of the Capital city from Istaxr to Qtesiphon by Šahpur was a “daring move to keep the Roman Empire in check”.
A VERY daring move indeed, how many similar examples exist in History??
In general; congrats, an AMAZING video on one of the most amazing Empires of History, or how “Iran was reborn from the Ashes of the destroyed Achamenid Iran after Alexander of Macedon.
This will probably the first channel on RUclips i’ll patreon, great job!
Funny to note; little is mentioned in History that the Empire, during whichever dynasty, always called itself “Iran”.
Ironic thing is that the Romans too, under Constantine the Great, moved their capital from Rome to Constantinople, closer to the Persian border, thus keeping the Sassanids in check.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God.

And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

Cool video. Good info. It was organized and well conveyed.
Cool video. Shows that Armenia was never fully conquered. However, the local lords of Armenia were the main problem for the state to unify and get independence.
21 min + plus what an absolute whopper of a video! And so much info densely packed, very nice. Constructive criticism: there's so much content here to make it worthwhile to split the video into at least two. Also, how you brought the coins to live with the drawing, that was very, very good! Thank you!
Thanks Docor! Yeah, this video was a bit of an experiment to see how a longer video will do. I am thinking 10 mins is a good typical length with a short or long one here or there...but not sure.

1:30 slight correction, the Parthians were hardly Greco Persian. It was slight posturing for trade purposes. They were thoroughly Iranian in custom and NOT seen as foreigners by their contemporaries or successors
They were not Persians they were merely Iranians, a lot of people were Iranians but because they weren't persians they were technically foreigners to the throne that belonged to the persians. And that's what he means, as back then there was very little notion of all Indo-Iranians being called Iranians. Medians, Scythians, , kurds, balochi, pashtun are all Iranian too yet they aren't Persian
@@arifahmedkhan9999 This may be partially true but it’s important to remember there was a distinction made for “Aryans” since the time of Achaemenids. Darius says he’s a Persian yes, he also notes he’s an Aryan. Herodotus (he has issues don’t get me wrong) there wasn’t much difference between Medes, Persians, Parthians and otherwise. Saying the Parthians were foreign is like saying the Qing dynasty is foreign to China or even better the Seljuks are foreign to Iran. There needs to be a better way of articulating someone who is not a usual member of ruling class but not entirely alien to the culture or country.
that was a great vid, thanks man!

Nicely done! A favourite empire of mine...well then again I love ALL the Persian empires :)
This is a very rich and complex period and place to discuss in 20 minutes, in my humble opinion.
Iran has always been a strong nation, ever since descending from Scythia Aryas upon Elam, founding Eran. Iran was able to have its own independent revolution and make a Republic, but unfortunately British oilmen didn't want to lose their source of fortune so they told the US that Iran was underthreat of a communist revolution so for the first time the US enacted a regime change outside of wartime based on a lie and they set up a puppet dictatorship. One extreme begat a polar opposite extreme and opportunistic tyrants took control on the basis of anti-western fundamentalism. It is my hope that Iran can undergo another independent revolution and return to the republicanism that they once established themselves and go back to being the shining light of the near east. And America needs to stay out of it
actually they didn't like Shah because of the control that Shah had on oil price, Shah had plans to make Iran great and powerful again (in economic, military, ....). so they help Khomeini, ....
Strong until Turks came.
@@OsmanOsmanHan Actually, the turks made Iran strong again. It was the Safavids who saved Iran from Ottoman and Uzbek incursions, same with Nader Shah. Turks have been an important part of Iranian history since they first entered the plateau and as a Persian I will forever be grateful for their sacrifice.
How can you blame the 'anti-western fundamentalists' if clearly they were right and correct in their opinion. Your comment is a shitshow of blaming everyone and believing you are infallible. Get off your high horse. Iran should have no more revolusions, It is rpud, independent and stable now. It's time for the West to revolutionise and get rid of your shitty dickhead leaders.
@@OsmanOsmanHan lol mongoli
Valerian was kept in bondage and was used by the Persian king as a chair when mounting his horse. At the end of his life, he was stuffed like an animal and the king kept him like a hunting trophy.
Except that this was most probably made up by a contemporary christian historian because christians wanted to say "anti-christian emperors got what they deserved". There is no real record of Valerian being treated harshly, in Iranian records he is shown holding hands of the shah, which shows submission but also he is shown to be forgiven and let live. He and his soldiers were sent to one of the newly created cities and lived there. Roman soldiers and engineers built dams and other public infrastructure. Valerian was probably just kept as a possible future negotiation piece and let live among his roman soldiers
I think 18:30 and on is the most interesting takeaway from this. The future could have been entirely different had Phokas not rebelled and killed Emperor Maurice - who himself would have made an incredibly interesting alternate future for the empire. A Persian and Roman/Greek alliance would have been glorious.
Imagine if that were the case. Iran would likely never have been conquered by Islamic armies. It would have changed so much of the Middle East.
I have always seen this as one of the greatest far reaching decisions ever. Maurikios ordering his soldiers to march along the Danuvian Limes without proper payment. If he had taken a more reasonable decision, and abandoned unneeded lands like Roman Spain to the allied Visigoths, Phokas would not have gained power and Carthage and Spain would have had enough manpower and security to hold off the Muslim Invasions.
You can thank Graeco-Roman arrogance for that. Khosrow I signed a peace deal with Justinian I that Justinian II broke. Asswipe.
