I really like the "irl" footage of the helmet and the pictures used for reference, it is nice.
i do too
first time?
I agree!
I agree as well
Thanks for feedback we have some of these historical items and its a good way to show all the angles of the helmet :)
I think a cool topic would be the Crusader Helmet.
Hi
DEUS VULT
Yes
Real Gunner WE WILL TAKE JERUSALEM
:D \[T]/
This Helmet design is by far one of the most iconic. When I think of ancient Greece, the first thing that comes to mind is the Corinthian Helmet.
1:48 The dance floor normally.
2:02 The dance floor during the *Cha Cha Slide.*
Nice
I think some degenerates are coming to scream floor gang!!!!
@@Celestial1000 ok ceiling gang
Such a beautiful and iconic style of helmets. Keep up the amazing work!
The Spartans know there helmet every well
Who wore it better; The hoplite or Magneto? 😉
Boba Fett :)
@@Simplehistory Damn, I forgot about Boba Fett! #Corinthian=Mandalorian
@@Simplehistory And Jango : )
Magneto.
Damm simple history is such a man of culture.
Other greek hoplites: *lacks in military training*
*Meanwhile in Sparta*
THIS IS SPARTA!
I am sure the lack of military training is just a myth. Staying in formation while enemy charges? Yeah right, without training the formation would crumble.
@@sl06bhytmar yeah I don't think any soldier would have lack of training in that time
@@sl06bhytmar yeah I was suspicious
THIS IS..
a very accurate and informational RUclips video, good job.
Now I’m getting AC Odyssey flashbacks
Going through my first playthrough now and when I saw this video I was like, 'ooooo, I know a misthios that wears one of those'.
Spartan soldier : my king we have betrayed .
Damn, as much as forgettable the game was it had the best and biggest open world I've seen
**MALAKA INTENSIFIES**
i tried to help the Spartans it didn't work
I'm from Greece and I have seen a lot of this helmets in museums . Also they sell in stores exact copies of them.
Absolutely amazing helmet of its time.
This is always one of my favorite helmets
Awesome video!
Awesome video! VERY informative!
I’ve been following this channel for a little while now, and going back looking at some of the old videos, I can’t believe how long ago they were! It feels like I watched them only yesterday!
Really, REALLY enjoy this format, please keep it that way, it's great!
Thx to the channel, to bring me through all the years in history class. 👌👌
Man i really love this channel and its content. Good job
Simple History: “Do you think anyone will notice that we called all city-states undertrained”? Sparta: “What was that, now”?
i thought that the spartans only trained hard because people kinda expected them to do so after their performance at Thermopylae
Warlight They trained to the limit even before thermoplyae. They were essentially a militarized state.
There is little evidence they spent more time training for war than other city states. They did spend more time exercising, hunting and brainwashing, but the available sources do not mention military drill or individual combat training.
This was one of best videos you erver made!
Great vid, was just watching similar content to add to my playlist
I didn’t know about the history about all this! Thanks.
Great video!

great work
There's tons of medieval helmets that are really cool that you could do this with,
The hounskull, the great helm, the sallet, the greathelm, etc etc.
woah. this animation gets better every time. thanks for this video.
Interesting informational story facts on Greek history!!!
Great video, very informative! One thing to note, in 1:14 it should be called πανοπλία stressed in the i sound after the l.
This was a interesting video.👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I used to be an hoplite like you then I took an arrow to the eye and
Ni

Nice video - cool content
Hi I like watching this channel because it's done the topic that I'm doing at school
I love Simple History's content, quality and narration. The narrator charges my adrenaline
Everytime I pop into the London museum it’s always there , always amazes me .
Iconic helmet
Yo man I really like your channel and your videos
i've always loved the look of the Corinthian Helmet, the designer was most definitely quite the artist
Love this video simple history keep up the great work👌🏼👏🏼.Just asking will you ever make a video on the serb volunteer guard during the Yugoslav war?
Nice video . Can you make a video about Peloponnesian war or the battle of Salamis ?
HEY! You forgot to mention the hair on top of the helmet was implemented so commanders could see which direction a unit was facing!
That doesn't sound like a real fact. I'm not saying you made it up, but it sounds just like speculation.
LOL what about Roman centurions then?
That doesnt have any fucking sense. Just look at your soldiers helmets and find out where their eyes are facing lmao
@@bari4007 centurion helmet crests were decorative and indicative of their rank, you could tell who was a centurion from far away just from his crest
@@bari4007 Roman are not Greek or Corinth. Roman Century helmet may be influence by Corinth helmet. They intermingle and a intercourse with each other over in the time.
This is an absolute marvel of a helmet it’s almost so distinct and beautiful that I want to buy a replica
I think a cool subject, that’s not talked about, is the Lakota Wars with the U.S Government
I'm glad that someone finally made a video about one of my country's most significant thinks
*things
You should do more stuff like this.
Is this your first video with non animated parts? Love your videos and the overall quality improves over almost every video
I like history and I even got an A+ on my history test I love history and this channel is like my teacher or assistant :)
The Pilos Helmet looks absolutely cool to my eyes
Such a unique design that was ahead of it's time aswell as inspired many others 😄
Although it would be cool to hear about the Samurai helmets 😎👍
I’d love to see you make a video about The Troubles 1968 - 1998!
Iconic and well made
Video matches my channel logo, sweet!
Cool to hear more history behind it :)
I would like to add that the shape of the helmet was designed pretty much 100% for use in the Greek phalanx. Sight, hearing, and communication did not matter much in ancient Greek infantry because, theoretically, the phalanx had you facing only in a single direction, and you would be shoulder-to-shoulder with men throughout the entirity of the formation. The highly enclosed shape of the helmet was to protect all areas of your head from projectiles/spears which could poke over the row of shields. The aggressive sloping and weight of the Corinthian helmet would protect much of head from such a blow.
The theory behind the Greek Phalanx is that the large shield, called a Hoplon, will guard your entire body (from your shins to your forehead). For this reason, Hoplite armor typically consisted of greaves (shin armor), a Hoplon (the famous shield), the helmet (for your head of course), and nothing more. This is why in most ancient Greek depictions of soldiers, they would have a shield, helmet, some greaves, but no arm/chest/thigh armor. In the movie 300, everybody is shirtless; although this seems ridiculous, the average Greek Hoplite would not have worn much on their cheat aside from a simple tunic (maybe a cuirass if he could afford one).
Often, you will see an added lip of armor on the top of the helmet. This is to add extra protection to the top of the head, which often protruded slightly above your Greek hoplon (large brass/hide shield).
For Greek cavalry and archers, the more common helmets would be the Attic, Phrygian, or Boeotian helmet. A quick Google image search will instantly tell you why these helmets would be more suited for horseback or other non-phalanx purposes. This is also where cuirasses and other forms of Greek body armor would be more common.
Bronze and metalworking was extremely expensive in Ancient Greece, so citizens fought for the best marginal value: a huge shield and big helmet kept you safe, got the job done, and would often be passed down through generations.
In the battle of Gaugamela... the CONSERVATIVE estimates suggest 40,000 Persians killed/wounded in exchange for 500 Greeks killed (most of whom from the Cavalry). Hoplites were perfect for low-cost, low-manpower, non-standardized citizen armies of Ancient Greece.
its not a Hoplon lol. Hoplon refers to the entirety of a hoplites defensive and offensive gear, the proper terminology is an Argive-Aspis. This is supported by J.F Lazenby who attempted to correct this. Also another point to prove that it was an Aspis (Argive referring to grip), is the name that spartans gave to cowards (Ripaspis) which essentially meant the one who thir the shield and ran.
Ah yes fine edition to my collection!
Ah yes the famous Corinthian helmet, I’ve been watching your videos for three years now, keep up the good work!
actual footage used in video makes me happy
Love this narrator!

Corinthian helmet, Corinthian column, 1000mods ... these greeks in Corinth are artists
Simple history,can you make a video about the battle of yultong?it's a great part of the history.
Do a video on the Morion Helm
That brush on the top would be great for painting
cringe comment racist sad life maria i hope you find your life purpose probably cleaning toilets
You are very good and we love you ...you could make a video about the grecoitalian war or about the italian army in the eastern front!thank you
Nice little short video. Now I can be that history-know-it-all lol.
These helmets are totally badass looking
Can you do a video on the events that led up to the crusades please?
I'm a fan of stuff like this
good video
I love those helmet i draw it in my notebooks for school
*BEST CHANNEL*
I like this new design!
I will make a correction, the helmet allowed perfect hearing becasue of it's design to not restricte the wearer, they had an open area for the ears so hearing was unaffected and seeing was not restricted, it's design even allows peripheral vision unlike most medivel knight helms(not all medievl helms tho) where you are not seeing though small holesyour eyes would be seeing right though those hole without seeeing much dark/blind areas, with this helm you are seeing almost exactly the same if you were not wearing it, unless your heads wacked up or the helm size dosen't work for ya
look carefully at the helm and pause at this time here 1:22
My favorite channel :) Popular helmet than M1 Pot
You should make a simple history video about how the suppressor was made
There’s a helmet that looks similar in Skyrim, I will never sell it
Which one?
That's a Roman helmet design. You are referring to the Imperial Helmet, are you?
Monokuma no it’s not, there’s a different version of the imperial helm that was identical to the Corinthian helmet ruclips.net/video/jlk6CpFYPbU/видео.html
mortaché de muerte its the Imperial Officer Helmet, pretty sure it’s only located in one place on the map
Actually I have a few of them, there’s always one at a Talos shrine but I’ve found others and concluded that they are just exceptionally rare
Great video but could you make a video about bayonet charges? 😀
My favorite helmet of all time!
Well TW Troy is coming out soon, so great topic choice
A mini series on famous helmets, antiquity to modern would be great.
Gives me a good throwback about when I tried to make an ancient greek poster in school.
Now I want one
Ohhhhhh a new video
Simple history can you do an episode on the sinking of the Léopoldville
You should do a video about the fliegerfaust
Do a video on the Memphis belle
The Boetian helmet is one of my favorite helmets
This is my most favorite helmet ever! I wish I could have one...
I own one.
Love this show. I wish they would have a Simple History version of Game of Thrones History or Star Wars History. Man that would be badass. That would be awesome for people who are re-watching shows or movies who missed out on lore behind the stories.
You need to do a video on Joseph Beryle
Do the Roman Galea next!
Nice, I can see those commenters who saw the video early thanks to the membership!
"they were 18 to 20 years old." damn I always forget how young they were...
Nice
Really cool and fierce look for the helmet and the greek army in general
The srtagety was really amazing (i liked it)
