So, Islam. But first: “Why 3 months?”. I wrote this neat rant to explain: This vid was, once, all in all over 1 hour long and included the rise of Islam, tho this wasn’t the original design. Having read a particular website’s rules/guidelines in detail regarding depicting certain groups negatively (even if parody bullshit), and getting confused the shit out of me with its vagueness regarding dark humor contexts, I regardless chose to carry it out, and tried several ways to contextualize/censor/re-animate/attempt new methods to make the muslim part (which would depict them as the eastern Romans saw them, and more. AKA not very kindly) seem compliant with the vague rules. Even if they did comply (again, vague), nothing true to the series, or even worth watching came of it. All censored, humorless, soulless crap. All edges cut off, and spirit drained. It didn’t belong in the Unbiased vids. Given its rotten state, I ended up cutting the video down and reworked it to its current form (which is still 46 min, my god), hence the nearly 3 months of wait. 3 months of work, exhaustion, and deep, deep frustration. In short, it took very long because I failed to produce something that could both likely comply with the guidelines and live up to the series’ spirit. It’s my fault, sorry. Since we’re talking failure, you’ll notice plenty of graphical glitches on the vid if you pay attention. Its mostly a consequence of trying to animate and render in 60fps for the first time. Fucked a lot of things up. I chose to let some mistakes in, both as a personal punishment for attempting mid-production novelty like an idiot, and because im fucking tired man… That said, I can’t neither in body or soul deal with ending things like this however, so I’m announcing I’ll attempt a whole new type of vid/series next time we meet. All I’ll say is its a style I’ve been meaning to give a try for a very long time. Hope it ends up good and the plebs and plutocrats like it, if so it might get further developed. The word “Cowardice” might come to some of you. I know it’s disappointing, including to many Muslim viewers who commented support for covering the topic. Early Muslim history is so fascinating I couldn’t resist at least giving it a try, many tries. But I failed, cost me a month or so. I’m not leaving it here, as I said, but really my only solace is that now I can’t regret not putting in the effort, and I get to try something new. Finally got 60fps, time-stamps and song sources, tho. Thanks for the support and patience, they were needed these past 11 weeks. Next vid will be fun. Well not really, but you know… Thcau tchau
dova u can depict all islamic characters as chad/wojak it’s perfectly fine excepting for the prophet so u can depict him as a light or a word. Reason I’m commenting this is because all islamic series or movies depict it that way.

Worse in a relative sense. The Arab Muslim armies were hardly as powerful as the Sassanid ones at their peak, but both empires were critically wounded and the Sassanids were basically dying at this point. It was the timing of the blow, not the blow itself.

fake history the Byzantines didn't fight sht it was the GHASSANIDS the Christian Arabs who faught every byzantine war against Persia ,was proxy war between ghassanid kingdom in levant and Persia and their allies in heera iraq
Or blame the crusaders. Dandolo’s role in the sack is a bit overstated. In actuality, the crusaders didn’t really ahve a choice but to attack the City, and they got super lucky with the fragmentation among the Romaioi. The sack was really a very unfortunate series of misunderstandings that had massive consequences, and it was mainly the crusaders who committed the barbarities, not the Venetians.
Heraclius was actually viewed very favourably in Islamic tradition, often described as just, wise and a man of great piety. If even your mortal enemy praises you that must mean you are really awesome.

Even at their weakest Eastern Roman Empire and Sasanid Empire were far stronger than Muslims in every major battle during the early muslim conquests muslims were outnumbered

@@VIP1G THat isn't quite true. This war destroyed both the Byzantines and the Persians. The Persian Empire basically did not exist, and the Byzantines had a smaller population, smaller army, most of their veterans and strong soldiers dead, a weak war weary economy, food troubles from all the raids, pillaging, and destruction. It was basically a shadow of what it was before the war (after all, it was 30 years of, not just war, but total war across all fronts). The Arabs may have been outnumberd, but most of the Byzantine troops were fresh green recruits tired of constant war. On top of that the first few battles between the Byzantine and Arabs, luck was just plain on the Arabs side as natural events, random chance, and much more kept weakening the Byzantines before the battles.

@@scarymonster5541 they spoke both Greek and Latin, with Greek gradually displacing Latin over time. By the way, Heraclius was the exact emperor to make Greek official language of the Empire instead of Latin, since the majority of Latin speakers lived in Syria, Palaestina and Aegypt - the territories which suffered the most from the war with Sassanids and were later lost to the Arabs, leaving the Empire with mostly Greek-speaking areas like Greece, Thrace and Anatolia

Laughs in pale death of the Sarrasins
20:14 Let us all take a moment to laugh at the idea of the Roman Empire being led from Carthage. Scipio and Hannibal are rolling in their graves at the thought.
Carthage had long been civilized by Rome.
fake history the Byzantines didn't fight sht it was the GHASSANIDS the Christian Arabs who faught every byzantine war against Persia ,was proxy war between ghassanid kingdom in levant and Persia and their allies in heera iraq

Or blame the crusaders. Dandolo’s role in the sack is a bit overstated. In actuality, the crusaders didn’t really ahve a choice but to attack the City, and they got super lucky with the fragmentation among the Romaioi. The sack was really a very unfortunate series of misunderstandings that had massive consequences, and it was mainly the crusaders who committed the barbarities, not the Venetians.
Heraclius was actually viewed very favourably in Islamic tradition, often described as just, wise and a man of great piety. If even your mortal enemy praises you that must mean you are really awesome.

Best episode in a while. They're all phenomenal, but this one has a certain charisma to it.

Even at their weakest Eastern Roman Empire and Sasanid Empire were far stronger than Muslims in every major battle during the early muslim conquests muslims were outnumbered
Can you fucking not have an argument in my meme
The most consequential of history’s great wars. Hard to exaggerate the importance of the last and most destructive war between the Romans and the Persians. Without that, we wouldn’t have had the Arab Empire and the rise of Islam

Cope
@@菼 truth hurts?
How in every battle Arabs were outnumbered , how tf did the Romans and Persians lose
@@VIP1G THat isn't quite true. This war destroyed both the Byzantines and the Persians. The Persian Empire basically did not exist, and the Byzantines had a smaller population, smaller army, most of their veterans and strong soldiers dead, a weak war weary economy, food troubles from all the raids, pillaging, and destruction. It was basically a shadow of what it was before the war (after all, it was 30 years of, not just war, but total war across all fronts). The Arabs may have been outnumberd, but most of the Byzantine troops were fresh green recruits tired of constant war. On top of that the first few battles between the Byzantine and Arabs, luck was just plain on the Arabs side as natural events, random chance, and much more kept weakening the Byzantines before the battles.
The Chadperium will not die today. Watch this, Aurelian, Constantine, Justinian.
Damn, the way Dovahhatty explains history makes it epic and sounds a lot like Homer

It'd be cool to see you do the Unbiased History on different time periods and kingdoms. I'd love to see how you depict chads like Alfred the Great and Genghis Khan.

SASSANID DEMONS DELENDA EST
"Sasanid demons" is in plural and "demon" (daemōn) is masculine in Latin, so it should be "Daemōnēs Sassanidī dēlendī sunt"
@@LeoNarrator weren't they speaking greek?
@@scarymonster5541 they spoke both Greek and Latin, with Greek gradually displacing Latin over time. By the way, Heraclius was the exact emperor to make Greek official language of the Empire instead of Latin, since the majority of Latin speakers lived in Syria, Palaestina and Aegypt - the territories which suffered the most from the war with Sassanids and were later lost to the Arabs, leaving the Empire with mostly Greek-speaking areas like Greece, Thrace and Anatolia
