I’ll never understand why the Persians just didn’t use the 4 lane road to go around them.
Its actually an lake
I mean sea
Persian’s pride i suspose, they underestimated the Greek small army and proceed head on attack
@@KartagoPharaenumm it's a joke :skull:
The road was blockaded by a German Flak 38 while being also carpet bombed by a Sukhoi Su-30, so obviously it was not an option for the Persians.
According to history, Xerxes the god king sent 3 storey tall elephants, goblins that ride giant ogres, zombies, magicians, goat men, war rhinos, and giant humans to attack the Spartans. There were only 300 Spartans but they were level 60 warriors while the Persians were only level 20 to 25 rogues. They had no healing priests and had a level 1 god king.
That's how ancient greece works
Yah the parsians even burned the city of Athens
To be fair, you need to remember the story of the 300 Spartans was told by one of the surviving Spartans, to other Spartans around that fire before the battle of marathon Thermopylae (or marathon, can't remember) . Back then, legends were told to be grossly exaggerated to showcase glorious deaths and the bravery of Leonidas, his beloved leader. So when this dude was describing the battle, we saw what HE described, not what actually happened. That's how I always validated the comic booky enemies Xerxes threw at the Spartans.
@@mynameisinigomontoya8179 the battle of marathon was 10 years before this battle and involved no spartans
@@Jonas-ij4td yeah man I forgot like I mentioned in my comment.
Let's appreciate the fact that during the entire battle, they did not block the highway.
Old joke, be original you clown
Unlike those damn BLM folks
Salute to those 1400 soldiers who didn't abandon the battle field
It was on purpose. Leonidas made a plan to hold them off with a few men while the main force retreats
If they abandoned the field they would have been rode down anyway. So they needed enough men to hold off the Calvary, to allow the others to escape
@@randomguyontheinternet8345I'm glad there's someone here who remembers that the Persian army relied heavily on cavalry, hence why they couldn't be utilized in that narrow pass to their full effect and why 1400 men had to stay back and protect the other withdrawing troops, otherwise they'd have all been quickly caught up with by the cavalry and run down.
they were ordered to stay and would probably be killed for not following orders. Has nothing to do with abandoning or honor.

If you are wondering why Spartans did so well, remember that they used Tiger 1s and each Tiger 1 can destroy 5 Persian Shermans
and each 5 sherman can destroy 10 tigers
*Spiter 1 and *Perman
Thank you for remembering they were 300 Spartans, but there were 400 Thebans (even though they surrendered after being rallied) and 700 Thespians who died next to Leonidas. 🙏
Xerxes is displeased with his generals
a battle 2.5k years ago on a 2023 map lol
You know what they said: never underestimate the outnumber trooops even facing large forces
every idiot knows that in large scale war and battles numbers dont mean everything. Ukr can hold off the russian army while defending for a certain period. Vietcong can defeat usa, same for taliban. Numbers dont mean anything in war. first chechen war was lost by russia. Finland could hold of russia. Russia could hold off germany, NObody attacks switzerland with a few low population. If you fight 30k soldiers with 200k soldiers the battle will be a constant 10k vs 10k probably. If the defender can hold off for long the other 190k become very expensive because 10k soldiers make them absolute. It is never 200k vs 30k, that is physical not even possible.
Superior numbers can be cancelled out by superior training and tactics. Especially when the enemy inflicts a 20,000 to 4000 kill ratio on you… that’s a Spartan killing 5 Persians before he dies. Yikes dawg.
Thank you for not forgetting about the 1,100 other Greeks who fought with the 300 to the end.
When the Persian player forgot to send a scout through the mountain and just proceed to send his legionmary against the Greek player's centurion. When the Persian did, the Greek player's allies ran toward their town center to build up wall defenses while Blue Greek player sacrificed his entire Centurion army to buy time.
It's like
"Let's goooo oh they're too much, we must go back"
And then
"Let's goooo oh we didn't brought enough people, we must go back"
And lastly
"Let's goooooo- oh, they invaded them from the South. I see."
Bro had all that land and he just stayed there like he already finished the battle
THIS IS SP......
upon each Persian wave I slow it down, it really shows their mood.
There's no way the logistics and overall economy of early antiquity could sustain hundreds of thousands troops. It was proven beyond doubt on many occasions that ancient authors tended to exaggerate their numbers a lot.
The Persians were very much capable of weikding an army of this size
@@wilcowen6180 Oh well that settles it
Uhhh I'm pretty sure Modern Estimates have The Persian Empire at 150,000 Men.
Irrigation
150,000 - 200,000 are modern estimates. The innacutate ancient sources you talk about, claim there were 5 million Persians which of course isn't true.
I think there were much less Persians than 200K
It was 2 million
200,000 is modern estimates
No you don't understand the persians had 71 billion goblins, 2 million giants, and about 5 million other creatures while the greeks only had 300 spartans and absolutely 0 help from anyone in the entire world I am telling the truth ong fr
So...300 Spartans didn't fight Persian Urak-hai wearing samurai masks????

This map isn’t even historically accurate. The sea has receded by 3 miles and the actual ground is 60 ft below. Between the rock and mud slides this isn’t how how it looked at all
Me being a fool waiting for a speech
I wonder what the people on the highway said
0:55 Poor Roman Empire 😅
there weren't 6k spartans there were 300
Do The Shoreline Rocks Still Exist In Thermopylae?
How many men in total did greece have in their military, was it only 7,000 or was it more? I ask because I know they had 7,000 with them but if they had more men than 7,000 why weren't they in the battle?
Sparta go
This is accurate but am pretty sure the end is wrong. The 6 thousand men weren’t all Spartans and also at the end there should of only been 300 that’s where the tail comes from.
in the near future, I'd say about 20 years - they will say european people (my people) made this all up.
Exactly which is sad
The Eurocentric world is coming to an end. Soon, we will see the return of cringe european nationalism
What do you mean?
Can you do a tutorial about how do mapping videos like this ?

The fame of Thermopylae is principally derived not from its effect on the outcome of the war, but for the inspirational example it set.
Thermopylae is famous because of the heroism of the doomed rearguard, who, despite facing certain death, remained at the pass.

This map is very detailled. Both Greeks and Persians were very careful not to cross the road since the local Greek kagkouria were driving like madmen.

@@Xenophon1well its in another syntaksys written, but very accurate indeed "Ω ξειν, αγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ότι τήδε κείμεθα τοις κείνων ρήμασι" = Stranger, (go) tell the Spartans that here (we) lie, obedient to their laws. Your syntaksys is better just wanted to write the original one translating every word.
Fun fact: in the Persian army there were Greek soldiers as well, because some Greek kingdoms and cities were allies with them like Macedonia, Thiva etc. Other fun fact is that every American movie that is made about Greek history or mythology, should be in the category science fiction. And also the Spartans sent only 300 men because they said that they had "religious responsibilities" and they were the only that didn't participate in the Macedonian attack of Persia, because they couldn't accept someone else to be leader of the army.
The thing that was about religious respnsibilities was on the battle of marathon , not thermopyles
They were made to be allies.They didnt want to fight co-Hellenes.
Bro' I love Serious Sam serie 👍
Still greeks win
@@haksrax39 i believe it was on both dates, not sure though
Still amazing to think that in the last charge those last 1400 hoplites still managed to kill 800 Persians in the final last stand. That's impressive.
Remember, that it is absolutely common in history for historians (since the ancient times - actually, especially in the ancient times, because there were much less ways to check it) to seriously increase amount of enemy armies in the books and, respectively, seriously increase amount of "how many enemies your brave warriors managed to kill". So we don't know how many persians were killed in reality in that battle.
@@thedreamscripter4002 absolutely correct. The Romans were guilty of this, especially in regards to the punic wars, but surprisingly they gave accurate accounts of battles and losses at Cannae, but I also think it was out of desperation to raise more armies since Rome came very very close to defeat in it's early stages of the republic

Seem pretty racist but this is what is true
I don’t know how to explain clearly but that’s the best i can tell
For those wondering in the south of the map there is mount Calidromon and in the north there is the sea. But this passage was not that wide 25 centuries ago. River Sperheos was bringing down dirt and covered a big part of the coast. Finally the Persians bypassed the Spartans by using a secret path in mount Calidromon. Efialtes was the name of the traitor who guide the Persian army through the secret path and efialtes is the greek word for nightmare.
This is so damn accurate, regarding that it was held in the late 5th century BC... But, could you pottentially post an tutorial how to actually adapt this kind of style?
that one 1k humans are real gigachads that they faced 180k men and still didn't surrender (for some hours)
Yes they sacrificed themselves to be remembered forever and to give time to the rest of the hoplites to escape

La Batalla de las Termópilas fue una importante batalla librada en 480 a.C. durante la invasión persa de Grecia. Fue liderada por los espartanos y sus aliados, bajo el mando del rey Leónidas, quienes defendieron el paso de las Termópilas, un estrecho desfiladero en el norte de Grecia, contra un gran ejército persa comandado por Jerjes I. A pesar de estar gravemente desfavorecidos en términos de número, los griegos lograron resistir durante tres días antes de ser finalmente vencidos. La batalla se convirtió en un símbolo de valentía y sacrificio para los griegos y es recordada como uno de los momentos más heroicos de la historia de Grecia.

- Xerxes (probably for hall/ heaven)
Persians were very intelligent in this battle:
- They charged at first, not worked, withdraw.
- Try with combined attack between archers and infantry, also not worked.
- Finally searched and finded an alternative road to circle the greeks.
Not the arrogant army that only charges in one-way like movies and some text tolds.
No they did not find the Tunnel.
THEY WERE TOLD ABOUT THE TUNNEL.
A traitor revealed the alternative road to the Persians.
the persian empire was huge and spanned a few centuries, one of the first greater empires. And you doubt their intelligence?

Did Persians have Siege weapons? Why not to shot with large rocks on Greece positions?
This shows how exaggerated historical battles are. Germans and Soviets couldn't supply 60k troops on each side inside Stalingrad, but hundreds of thousands in ancient antiquity? Please be more critical
Dude Persians prepared this army 4 years gathering troops from almost the whole known world.They dried rivers in their passage just by drinking water...🥶
They often brought their own weapons and armour. Look at something like the 1st Crusade, massive horde of people that were able to sustain themselves across a large journey and war

I am proud to be Persian and have the greatest king in history, Cyrus, who wrote the Charter of Human Rights and built the most powerful country in history
Eran solo 300 espartanos, los demás eran guerreros de otras polis que habían decidido ayudar.
the thing is, just a few thousand spartan/thespian soldiers managed to take down like 50k persians. greece was advanced in battling but persia had the advantage of big infantry.
from where did u bring those numbers?
in video persians lost 15k for 7k greeks
in history (not exagurated and biased that written persian soldiers were 5 milion!) its numbers are about that shown in this video too
and those 15k lost were not all persian soldiers or elite.
in achamanid empire lived about 49% of known world population of time, Arabs, Turks, Tatars , Khazars, persians etc
only immortals were elite troops of persians and they were equal to Spartans (movie 300 is BS)
read history not judge by movies
@@AliComputering from the video. may be wrong a bit but herodotus says 20k casualties were for the Persians and 4k for Greeks.
@@XBGamerX20 Herodotus is famous for not being neutral. his books are not unbiassed.
Im not denying 300 Spartans bravery and were very high skill warriors (most Spart people were brave and good fighters, but terrible at policy or rulling)
Greeks in Turmopylae used good strategy.
they made their enemy to fight in battle in their favorable place with very narrrow road.
Persians had alot of cavalary and battle carriage could destroy Greeks in wide land in matter of hours
King Xerex advisors told him they can go from other passage and not need to pass from Turmopylae but it would made march a week or 2 longer,
so king choose to go from this passage and fight in not wide battledfield (because he knew his gonna win anyway)
but he surprised when he saw how Spartans resist and battle didnt end in hours (but took days)
even Kings brother who was one on Immortals commanders fought and killed in field (Leonidas admired him, his bravery and skills when saw how he is fighting and killed few Sparts by him self alone)
after Athen conqured,
Xerex didnt attack Spart country to honor they bravery and skill in Turmopylae
Check salamina battle.Eventually greeks won the persian war
@@heimerotphardstuckdiav6244 they did because they used a smart technique to confuse them. Persians were in athens so they used their small ships to destroy the persian ones that were bigger
It is said that Leonidas was 60 years old in that battle.
I can everyone here circlejerking the 300 movie from obvious to subtle ways. Everyone still forgets decades later that the movie is a adaptation of the Dark Horse Comic and not meant to be seen as something historical. Anyhow, nice video.
It was atually 13 spartans and the spartans loved walking like ballerinas and did a GTA san andreas gang violence
100 sextagorillion p-p-p*rsians against JUST 4 SPARTANS
according to the 300 spartans film ,the entire Persian army died 😂😂
No they won this battle.. The reason why they fought here was to buy time for the combind greek army to assemble. Which eventually later defeated the persains.
@Jeeps, Black Powder and Lights in thermopyle Iran won ,but in the navy battle greece won because greece had small,convenient, fast boats and ships when iran had large ships and slow and was hard to control + geographical location made important role ,especially cliffs in the sea
Spartans was so good that they have their own kind of remix (Spartan Remix)
This is Sparta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did 200 thousand people even fit in there?
Casualty estimates:
Persia: 15.7k
Greece: 2.5k
A correction in the end, the last stand was over the Kolonos hill, aroud a light blue dot on the map and the place where the retreating greeks are ar 00:53. Today is a lght walk, but at that time was way steeper and higher.
Other than that evn the location of the clashes over the smelly sulfuric river is on spot.
very detailed and entertaining! love it
Lest we forget
200000? In 480 BC they came all away from Persia with 200000 men? I like when Herodotus says 2000000, at least you know that he isn't trying to telling the truth.
But you guys thinking that 200000 are the truth. And 16000 casualties?😂
According to the diary of a spartan survivor, he mentioned that the enemy is 3 million in total & their unit were just 300 men ! And the spartan killed 2,5 million persian before they were eventually defeated .
still bunch of simps and male feminists dug their graves themselves.
It's safe to say someone was a bit biased...
Many people dont know but place where is the 4-way line used to be seashore which was pulled further over time by sand from river estuaries.
They didn't use the roads because AEK hooligans were there and they didn't want die by molotov.
Could this be zoomed out in the end so we will know which part of Greece or part of the world it is?
Central greece
How I can do a video like this? Is for recreate battles in my games
The mountains don't seems to have sudden steepness, quite walkable mountains. Why the Persians needed someone to show them a narrow goat trails.
the first engagement between the 2, the persians already lost more men that what the spartans had.
300 Spartans 6700 other Greeks inflicting 2:1 casualties
Not accurate at all. The Spartans retreated to Kolonis Hill after the Persians flanked them going around the hillside.
You should do the Battle of Marathon next.
The estimate of 200K Persians has been proven to be way too massive and impossible, it was likely no more than 70K.
In Thermopolis the Sparta don't have 6k soldiers he has 300 soldiers
So nice of them to not go over the road to flank them or something naughty
My god this number is highly exaggerated 🤓😂
Persia had 2 million troops
200,000 is modern estimates
The first fight... I think it's more like 20,000 vs Greeks, as we see in The 300 Spartans 1962.
They might have been 200,000+ in total.
Bro, everyone knows that the battle of Thermopylae or similar battles (such as Marathon) are all made up by Greek storytellers who make the story so dramatic and unrealistic that no one believes them anymore! 🤣I bet that 1% of the BS that was shown in 300 did not happen there neither...💩
Nice
