“The 300 Spartans" (On Location at Thermopylae)

- The Spartan’s creed was ‘standing or fighting or dying’ and at Thermopylae, they did. They never saw the future bought by their sacrifice-they just obeyed their creed and stood. There’s a lesson in there… (Filmed on location at Thermopylae)
Because of 300 men who stayed back and fought the oncoming persian armies. there legacy is spoken by foreigners until today. Great Leonides
1,400 soldiers stayed behind. 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and 400 Helots
And the 700 Thespians lead by Demophilus who stayed behind with the Spartans and fought to the end as well deserves equal honor and respect.
I've visited tgis site several times now and i plan to visit again later this summer. I love history and I especially love my people's history, it's a great place to reflect on what it takes to remain free.
Wonderful presentation, thank you!
Long live Spartans spirit of bravery
Thanks so much for using good Mics etc and recording where us hard of hearing ex rockers can hear!
"Go tell tell them in Sparta, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie.

A Spartan mother would disown her own son if he retreated.
Hi Jay..your standing on gate 3 the final battle field on the hill to the right of you is gate 2 where the wall or fort still stands...further down from wall are the hot springs..gate 1first battle field.....thank you and great speech
Thanks for the clarification. I haven't been yet but was thinking the hill was where the last stand was made

Thank you for sharing! Really blessed me ~and I'm sure many others.
Come and take it!
crazy how much land the river created in 2500 years
THANK YOU
Great video
Some added details and considered assumptions for the reader regarding the army sizes of ancient civilizations, the Persian Army in particular as it relates to this video:
1) Almost all ancient histories accounting for armies is vastly exxagerated. It was a form of language they used back then to express the over all power on a nation. It would have been impossible to support an army of over 250,000 men - even by stripping the local supplies as they advanced. Greece was not rich with resources. Some say the count was ALL the forces of the Persian Empire - being a million men. That is possible, but they weren't all on campaign in Greece at one time.
2) The Persian - and other armies of those days - would not have been made up of all the best troops in the empire. Most of them would have been conscripts from the provinces - lightly armed and armored for a long march. Likely not armored at all, and bringing what weapons they owned. Thier primary assignment was foraging for the army on the march, with the lion's share going to the king and his more elite soldiers, who did most of the fighting.
3) The core of the Army would have been many thousands of regular troops and the Immortals, an elite legion of 10,000 that were heavy infantry - like the Spartans and other Greek hoplite infantry. or, the later Roman legions.
4) Assuming a Persian Army of less than 250,000 that started the march across the Dardenneles, many tens of thousands would have been peeled off to garrison Greeks towns that they passed through. Thermopylae was not the only battle they fought on the way into Greece.
5) That leaves the remainder to fight at Thermopylae, and we will never know how many there were, but a guess at 80,000 to 120,000 would be in the ball park
6) Only Rome had a professional miltary and a large standing army of paid soldiers. That did not occur until another 350 years later, with 25 Legions stationed around the Empire with a total maximum manpower of about 280,000 troops. Even though the Romans were the best army on earth then, specializing in logistical and engineering excellence, no more than three or four legions ( 5 to 7 thousand men each ) were ever mustered for a single battle due to the technical limits of supply.
How do we even know how much rich on resources was thay place at that time? We can't. We can only believe the written records, amd they say the army was that big.
Logical and intelligent people can believe in fantasies too.
how can a location will change so much
JEWS connection back then!? Hmm
Jewdasm is 6000 years old
@@jamestaylor841 This does not answers my question!
@@viorelpiscanu9425 ancient Israelites are not necessarily jews. But yes, there is a connection with ancient Israel. Does that answer your question?
@@JesusProtects Thanks! Best regards - Bye-bye!
@@viorelpiscanu9425lmao. You wanted to say something against the Jews now?
So why did the gulf of malian water recede???? Where did the water go???
Didn’t recede; silted up… :-)
@@jay.mccarl silt??
@@AtticTapes14mud that flows with water. And is left behind as water recedes
The remnants of the wall are still on the hill
Someone around that time described the Spartans as"Bees buzzing around a hive".Ephialtes was the name of the traitor.The word is used by Greeks today ,it means ' nightmare'.Scumbag would have sufficed!lol.We all as Christians?Sorry that was the point i bowed out.
It was a christian trip, the man speaking is speaking to his congregation. The man is obviously not speaking to you. Or maybe you just can't stand hearing the word Christian or the idea of someone being a christian? In that case I have to ask, my man, why so much vitriol against us? We did nothing to you.
@@JesusProtects it's nothing personal against Christians I just find the whole concept of religion boring!Where did it say this was a Christian trip in the vid title?It doesn't, if it did fair enough then I wouldn't have bothered watching. Or do You have something against atheists?
The numbers are exaggerated.
where is the gate?
looks a bit like a desert now

where did all the water go???
Global warming
@@JVW9007 if it evaporated then its up in the air and has to come down sooner or later...so I'll ask again where did it go???
@@JVW9007 Global warming rises sea level, not the other way around lol
Sediment filled in most of the bay
If ever there was evidence global warming is a fraud this place is it. It only proves water levels rise and recede throughout time and only the gullible fall for political science.
Was it necessary to mention the Bible and its characters? What part did they play in this legendary event. Don’t mix the heroes with priests.
Totally rogered with Bible jews er al - forget history just talk fiction
Stop being so sensitive. You sound like a whiny child
It's called scaffolding. He's building on people's prior knowledge.
Because the Bible is also a record of History. or have you forgotten that the reason why we know 90% of human history is mainly because they were WRITTEN down. You think they have smartphones then? Even Alexander the Great was prophesised in the Book of Daniel, which is roughly 250 years before the time of Alex. The bible even recorded the Hittites before the archeological discovery only recently.
RK Harrison cites Ewald [ OT intro,1975, p. 117 and footnote] as a scholar who denied existence of Hittites. This shows that the reality that lack of evidence at any given time does not equal lack of existence.
your whole comment is stupid
@@rubenspotemkin2412listen to the previous comment and you may learn some actual history, wich I guess is why you are here to begin with. Unless you want to make your own personal version of history, picking and choosing what you like.
The bible is a record from eye witnesses of history, weather you like it or not.
Foxes Book of Martyrs was certainly as embellished and exaggerated as any account of the Persian invasion by Herodotus, that’s for sure. It is essential a work of polemic propaganda.
I think Mr. McNabb misunderstands the definition of polemics. As to Foxe's book, the account of Leonides, the Spartans and the Thespians are not found in Foxe book, as they died more than 450 years before the first Christian martyr. The account of Thermopylae was noted in Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus and Pausanias. Blessings.
Oh yikes, another proselytizing sermon on the mount. Quite a turn off.
The bible is history and talks about many peoples and events that really happened as multiple other sources verify. I thought people clicked on this video to learn history, not to deny it.
@@JesusProtects SHUT UP and BUZZ OFF!!
Christianity isn't going anywhere, so deal with it.
