he tried, but no they are not correctly pronounced...they seem Arabic and oriental to the foreign ear, but to an Arabic, Farsi, or a Turkish ear, we know it is not right, and not close (expect for Nizar, that was close) Note that Hasan and Hassaan are two different names, and he pronounced one with the pronunciation of the other...which means? not enough research.
Here in Mongolia 🇲🇳 some history classes teach their students that the order of the assassins were honorable and noble warriors that protected the poor and the interest of the people. I do not know how much of it is true but i hold them in high regards. And their leader, The Old Man of the Mountain, is said to continue living on by his next successors to instill the fear to the enemy of the hashashins, order and hope to the common folk. Also, Gramps rules.
Hello from Scotland 🏴 Thanks for sharing. It’s good to know other people’s opinions and information. If only there was more warriors for the interest of the peoples around the world.
Its pretty weird mongol teach that story about hassasin. As im pretty sure hulagu khan and mongolian soldier destroy alamut, hassasin headquarter in 1200 ish. They see em as a threat because hassasin keep killing ruler and king
The Hashashins are the main reason I learned so much about Islam, and why I smoke so much weed. After Hassan, I want to learn more of the asaassin leader who took Hassan's place. Btw, the legend says Hassan took the hide of a cow, skinned it and took the whole region with only the place where the hide would lay. That's a lot of skinning!
@@tasinal-hassan8268 Hassan gave those men herb bro, he intoxicated those men while they got head by the girls in his garden. Go read some more, this video explains real well, but some things like Hassan's son being executed for public indecency wasn't mentioned, or I didn't hear it. Hassan's castle had a library, and Arabs had hookas. Hassan also took a path of ministry before he chose to be a military leader. He was a real decent guy I bet, slash your throat for some gold and dojaberry.
to add, the word "حشاش" "Hashash" which is the singular of "حشاشين" "Hashashin" was adopted by them as the word in itself may be taken as the "doer of Hashish (which in common language in Arabic word means some type of cannabis, but in origins is the noun for "Grass")" so they adopted the word as they imagined themselves Decapitating their enemies heads, as they would do with grass. This is according to some legends in Arabic books and literature
its not true i have read the whole god of alamut book and the حشاشین that was the name of that stores that they sell the medical drugs for free to people and it not mean grass. because if they use grass how can they be powerful?
Actually I have heard that they used hashish (which is a kind if drug) for medical purposes, they were men of book and in Iran great doctors have invented Tebbe Irani, so it makes more sense than you theory

Prometheus Is Cold I’ve been playing quite a few AC games recently, and seeing as I’ve sunk just about 200 hours into Odyssey and its expansions completionist style I’d say it’s worth it. I have Origins on my desk for that reason. The only thing in Odyssey is that literally everything levels up with you, which is a hit or miss depending on what you prefer. You always get a decently balanced challenge, with more abilities and upgrades to play with. I somehow got AC3 and AC Liberation for free, and AC3 was ‘aight, but getting that 100 % sync is too infuriating at times than what I’d recommend attempting, so much so that it ruins that feeling you’re supposed to have at the end of a game. Just don’t try it. Some parts are so broken you have to find ways around what you’ve previously been taught by trial and error and consulting forums. Like that feckin wolf ambush when you’re on a reasure hunt. How was I supposed to know that the creators expected me to use silent poison darts? Outrageous. AC Liberation had an interesting concept in theory with the wardrobe changes, but it still forced specific outfits onto the questline which made the mechanic feel superfluous. I mean, why give us choice if we can’t choose? Overall I never felt all that involved in whatever was happening. Traversing the city and swamp felt really clunky compared to both AC3 and Odyssey. Thank goodness that’s over. Meh.

So shut up 😂 I didn’t even referred you to the facts that shows he is Persian ,I just mentioned some logics The facts are obvious
@@hassanrahimian662 Your name is Hassan, an Arabic name I don’t think stupid people living in tents would be able to spread both their religion and culture across the world, Hassan al Sabah is not someone to be proud of and I’m saying this as an Arab my self but Hassan and most of the Assassins were actually Shia Muslim Arabs, Hassan al Sabah belongs to the Arabian tribe himyar a sect of the greater Arabic race qahtani Arabs they live mostly in southern Saudi Arabia, in najed and hijaz and Yemen, many of them migrated to Iraq during the Islamic conquest lead by Arabs from the peninsula, which is why Hassan al Sabah migrated from Iraq to Persia and started this evil group
Round of applause to Simon and his team. Managing to explain an incredibly confusing chapter of history. I'm still confused and can't make heads or tails of it but I appreciate the fluidity at which it got delivered.

" I was 11 years old when I killed my first man. I remember the look in his face when the light went out behind his eyes. Such a sudden change, almost imperceptible, between life and death. And I felt ashamed. I had stolen from that man the most precious gift of all - life. But I also felt something else - pride, because I had taken up arms against someone who sought to do ill against my family. And I realized what I had done was necessary. You see... I had replaced evil with death. And that... is what the league exists to do. And I have killed several thousand more men since then. And the world is better for it."
Where do you think the creators of Rhas Al Ghul got atleast some of the inspiration for him and his League of Assassins/League of Shadows, depending which version is being referred to. Ever since Rhas was first introduced into Batman Comics, they seem to alternate the naming of his league every decade or so between the two.
Yes im from Iran and i visited Alamut castle of hassan sabah 3 day ago. It was an absolute beauty! Everything about this castle is great and it gives you some positive energy! Unfortunately only 30 percent of this beautiful ancient place is discovered by archeologists and about 70 percent of them is not discovered yet due to the budget and money. unfortunately the government doesn't care about this ancient and important place like many other ancient places. There are lots of mysterious spots in this castle. For example there is a pond in one room of this castle which always have water in it even if you take all water out it will fill again of water. Such a mysterious place! It is located above the highest mountain and Alamut means the Nest of eagles and because of that we always see an eagle in AC games. Ubisoft should make a real game from the real story not fake ones. Also Many people had tried to attack this place but they didn't succeeded because the castle was too invincible. Until Holaku khan mongul ruler attacked after years of waiting and then he burned and destroyed the castle and they burned one of the largest and greatest libraries which was located in the Alamut castle and god knows what was those books about and it's so sad that we lost them. The castle has been rebuild and repaired 5 times and some people says Some treasures are hidden there. Its a legend and im proud of it.💙 I wish all the people who love AC could come and visit this wonderful castle one day💙
you are so lucky to be there and able to witness that historic place. i personally love assassins creed game and have read so muc about them. i hope to visit that place someday in my life.

No offense but Hassan sabbah was "Born" in Qom Iran and also "died" in Iran. you can search about it.Yes His father was from Yemen and then they moved to Persia due to some reasons . Unfortunately there is a few books and information about his personal life and details. Of course!! we should be proud of our ancestors and respect them. Good luck.

Still maintained his loyalty to Korea and rose again and again to lead the Korean military forces.

@gloomy day A large portion of Iran's current population including me don't have religious zeal anymore. I'm not sure if that's the word. I am practically an atheist. Iran's probably got the least religious people in the Middle East. You probably got that idea because our current government is a Shia Islamic one.
It's a scary thought about what would've happened if the Templars and Assassains put aside their differences and combined their forces. The Catholoc church and the Seljuks would never have stood a chance.
Hassasins can only kill non militaty leaders.. The hassasins really want to kill salahudeen because he erased the shia fatimid khilafa but they can't penetrate him because he is always on conquest bulldozing crusaders..
Thank you for Hasan Sabah Bio ❤️❤️ I can't believe it . We had his biography in Persia and I read his complete bio when I was 11 ,he really was powerful and only one woman that had king ear was his equal in cleverness
@UC6Ei8phpwtcdlf9QBSMSTmA it was written by pol Amir translation of Mansoory, and none was by Marco Polo , Sabah was really interesting and intelligent
he's giving his point of view about history a better interesting subject to watch, and hes finding a way to make it happen... unless you would rather be watching the bachelor shows
this is my 5th video in a row since finding this channel! WHY AM I JUST FINDING THIS CHANNEL!? very good work here! thank you for all the time you spend digging in on pulling out the gems for us.
In Egypt, we have a series called "HASHASHIN" about a person named Hassan al Sabah. Watch it; it consists of 30 episodes, with one episode airing every day.
Thank you for the nice video. I live less than 2 hours away from hassan sabbah's castle, or what remains of the castle, and yet I've never been there :| this saddens me... Ps. Please dont worry so much about the pronunciations, we know you are trying your best and no decent person should expect you to pronounce names like natives do. Relax!
The Alamut castle is only 1-2 hours away from where i live but you need immense physical ability to go up all those stairs to get to the castle which is located quite high on the mountain
I think this all the time when I’m watching things like the Great War, the history guy, or other historical channels. If you like simon’s biographical channel you’d like THG, he has a degree in history (and he loves history! :)
imagine its only a single story about 7000 years civilization of Iran ! there is countless more great characters and dynasties and stories like that we even had a entire Pedophile Turkic Dynasty, every king had several boy sex slaves and some of them fell in love with them and those slave could rule the entire empire. being a pedophile with boys is acceptable in Islam but only for men if you know sharia law and use some specific Islamic rules.

13:00 Is'haq* 20:55 Isfahan* 14:18 'Fidai' translates to "one who sacrifices themselves" (AKA Kamikaze) it has little to do with Faith actually. Apart from that, well done! i was pretty accurate.
I agree with everything else, but Kamikaze means something like “whirling winds” or “twirling winds” in Japanese. This is a reference to how two mongol invasions of Japan failed because two typhoons destroyed both.
High quality, deadpan jokes through this whole thing. Loved it! I play a game called Fate Grand Order that features Hassan (several incarnations of him, actually), so this was incredibly fascinating to hear his history!
Actually i played the game too, I dont think they are his reincarnation, each are different hassan or assassin. The hassan is the origin of the word assassin.
Hassan Al-Sabah and his followers are among the Shiite Arabs who fought alongside the Fatimids in Egypt, but they differed in the religious doctrine, and they had a special doctrine. After his death, Hassan’s followers became assassins of the Crusader and Muslim leaders, and in the end they ended at the hand of the Mongols

@@bitesthedust784 it's the eastern variant of Alexander.
@@howardbaxter2514 yeah. It can also be spelled sikander. Which is also a Persian/Arabic/ Urdu name lol.
to add, the word "حشاش" "Hashash" which is the singular of "حشاشين" "Hashashin" was adopted by them as the word in itself may be taken as the "doer of Hashish (which in common language in Arabic word means some type of cannabis, but in origins is the noun for "Grass")" so they adopted the word as they imagined themselves Decapitating their enemies heads, as they would do with grass.
This is according to some legends in Arabic books and literature
صحيح يا معلمهم😂😂
Another possible origin of the word 'assassin' is the "أساسيون" "assasiyoon" which means the 'originals' or the 'founders'
its not true i have read the whole god of alamut book and the حشاشین that was the name of that stores that they sell the medical drugs for free to people and it not mean grass. because if they use grass how can they be powerful?
@@khadijehzamani8153 no like the drug is also called the arabic word for grass
Hashish means grass
And also means a drug
They are both called hashish
Actually I have heard that they used hashish (which is a kind if drug) for medical purposes, they were men of book and in Iran great doctors have invented Tebbe Irani, so it makes more sense than you theory

@@terrialyeary7331 AssCreed has become so much more complicated since I abandoned the series. Have the games got any better? There was a pretty consistent decline after and including the game desmond died.
Prometheus Is Cold I’ve been playing quite a few AC games recently, and seeing as I’ve sunk just about 200 hours into Odyssey and its expansions completionist style I’d say it’s worth it. I have Origins on my desk for that reason. The only thing in Odyssey is that literally everything levels up with you, which is a hit or miss depending on what you prefer. You always get a decently balanced challenge, with more abilities and upgrades to play with.
I somehow got AC3 and AC Liberation for free, and AC3 was ‘aight, but getting that 100 % sync is too infuriating at times than what I’d recommend attempting, so much so that it ruins that feeling you’re supposed to have at the end of a game. Just don’t try it. Some parts are so broken you have to find ways around what you’ve previously been taught by trial and error and consulting forums. Like that feckin wolf ambush when you’re on a reasure hunt. How was I supposed to know that the creators expected me to use silent poison darts? Outrageous.
AC Liberation had an interesting concept in theory with the wardrobe changes, but it still forced specific outfits onto the questline which made the mechanic feel superfluous. I mean, why give us choice if we can’t choose? Overall I never felt all that involved in whatever was happening. Traversing the city and swamp felt really clunky compared to both AC3 and Odyssey. Thank goodness that’s over. Meh.
Love your content but things like this, it might be helpful to provide something visual to keep track of things. Maybe a map of progression or a flow chart of who has relation to the person/topic you're covering. Very foreign concepts like this one are difficult to keep track of.

Your name is Hassan, an Arabic name I don’t think stupid people living in tents would be able to spread both their religion and culture across the world, Hassan al Sabah is not someone to be proud of and I’m saying this as an Arab my self but Hassan and most of the Assassins were actually Shia Muslim Arabs, Hassan al Sabah belongs to the Arabian tribe himyar a sect of the greater Arabic race qahtani Arabs they live mostly in southern Saudi Arabia, in najed and hijaz and Yemen, many of them migrated to Iraq during the Islamic conquest lead by Arabs from the peninsula, which is why Hassan al Sabah migrated from Iraq to Persia and started this evil group

My Name its not a reference. He is talking about the literal assassins in the game and their backstory
So you had to make an edit to your comment when you realized you were late to the joke?
I literally turned up to say both of these things.
" I was 11 years old when I killed my first man. I remember the look in his face when the light went out behind his eyes. Such a sudden change, almost imperceptible, between life and death. And I felt ashamed. I had stolen from that man the most precious gift of all - life. But I also felt something else - pride, because I had taken up arms against someone who sought to do ill against my family. And I realized what I had done was necessary. You see... I had replaced evil with death. And that... is what the league exists to do. And I have killed several thousand more men since then. And the world is better for it."

Yes im from Iran and i visited Alamut castle of hassan sabah 3 day ago. It was an absolute beauty! Everything about this castle is great and it gives you some positive energy! Unfortunately only 30 percent of this beautiful ancient place is discovered by archeologists and about 70 percent of them is not discovered yet due to the budget and money. unfortunately the government doesn't care about this ancient and important place like many other ancient places. There are lots of mysterious spots in this castle. For example there is a pond in one room of this castle which always have water in it even if you take all water out it will fill again of water. Such a mysterious place! It is located above the highest mountain and Alamut means the Nest of eagles and because of that we always see an eagle in AC games. Ubisoft should make a real game from the real story not fake ones.
Also Many people had tried to attack this place but they didn't succeeded because the castle was too invincible.
Until Holaku khan mongul ruler attacked after years of waiting and then he burned and destroyed the castle and they burned one of the largest and greatest libraries which was located in the Alamut castle and god knows what was those books about and it's so sad that we lost them.
The castle has been rebuild and repaired 5 times and some people says Some treasures are hidden there.
Its a legend and im proud of it.💙
I wish all the people who love AC could come and visit this wonderful castle one day💙
you are so lucky to be there and able to witness that historic place. i personally love assassins creed game and have read so muc about them. i hope to visit that place someday in my life.

Unfortunately there is a few books and information about his personal life and details.
Of course!! we should be proud of our ancestors and respect them. Good luck.
@@mahka190 he can be born in England he would still be Yemeni right or wrong ?

I respect him so much, yes his father is from yemen. I don't know anything about his mother... I wish I knew.

But well it doesn't matter where he's came from he is a legend.

After his death, Hassan’s followers became assassins of the Crusader and Muslim leaders, and in the end they ended at the hand of the Mongols
