One Omar was in Medina at the time and the focus was on Persia. Moreover by the time Amar son of Al-Aus came to the picture Omar and Muslim gov where too bussy. Egypt attack was early because Amar requested. He insisted he has a plan and that few thousands are enough. The force that went in first was very tiny all on horse back and where elites. It was a skirmish. Amar forces where 8k. 2k given to him by Omar and 2k of his own personal troops and he rounded up 4k volunteers, big % of new Muslims from Levant.
The later reinforcement was 4 men not 4k. The 4 great ones the 4 strong. 4 of the top 8 best warriors and unite commanders in Islam: Qaqai (is a portrait dissing the enemy in battle, also has a strong commanders voice that shakes the battlefield). Each equal to a 1000 elite Arab warriors, each of the 4 are equal to the likes of LuBu in might and Aura. They also very tall, the shorterest is 2m tall , without being slower but very fast and quick.
Also Omar wanted the army to be 12k as it is a key number divisible by 2, 3 and 4 ie a very strong structure. As of Prophet Mohammad words about 12k and multiples of 12 are strong unite when used properly.
Amar plan was to stabliiish a foot, annoy the Byzantium forces, skirmish them, weaken them, test them, limit business and hold the line running around ambushing them and show you here to stay. Then after a while plus diplomacy and politics get the local powers and people on your side after showing them you can hold ground and could win high chance. Then gets tens of thousands for free and takeover Egypt.
Alexander was annoying and hard though.
In 622 Persians had lakhmid, ghassanid and most of Anatolian lands in their hands. The Romans had also lost many cities to avars and they had reached almost near Constantinople from the north west. Sassanians had captured Chalcedon and reached Constantinople from the east .The map you made is incorrect
@@soroushtorabi98 They where very short live near Constantinople so maybe that. That one is a tiny error.
Hi, would appreciate it if you have a video on Yemen invasion by the Romans in 24 BC..
A small correction concerning the map.
By the time Amr invaded egypt, Mesopotamia was firmly in arab control.
By the time of Umar's assassination, the whole of persia was conquered.
Good point. Shame I missed that in production.
@@HistoryMarche I would also point out that khosrow II was dead by the time the invasion of egypt started.
لا عليكم يا أصدقاء نحن سعداء جداً بما تقدموه@@HistoryMarche
@@HistoryMarcheHow though? It’s so blatant and you should know this from the Yarmuk video.
no it wasn't, in 644 the persians were still resisting and would continue to do so for another 7 years
Fun fact: During the march on Egypt, Amr ibn al-As, known as the cunning of the Arabs, received an important letter from Caliph Umar.
Amr deliberately delayed opening the letter until he entered Egypt. When he finally read it, the message simply said: "If you are already in Egypt then continue with the blessing of god, but If not, halt your advance and return with your army."
He actually knewed it anyways
A story that is made up after an event.

Interestingly, the capital of Egypt was under the Rashidun Caliphate was al-Fustat. Cairo was later build by the Fatimid Empire. Many have the misconception that Cairo existed since the days of the Pharoahs.
You are right. Dw, those people are just ignorant.
True
No nobody misconception i am already know that in the time rashidun the capital name fustat means "Lounge" found by amr ibn al as and cairo was found by fatimid caliph al mu'izz
@@reefmohammed3553 Yes Subhan Allah its good that you know, but many believe Cairo was built by Ancient Egypt.
رضى الله عن عمرو ابن العاص و الحمدلله على نعمة الاسلام و رحمة الله على الفاتحين 💜💜💜
😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: Amr ibn Al-'As actually barely had 4000 men in the beginning of the expedition and was forbidden by Umar (R) to enter Egypt, but Amr ibn Al-'As didn't open the letter sent by Umar (R) forbidding him that, and went on with mere 4000 men. Upon arriving inside Egypt, he requested for more men, and was given 4000 more. Just before arriving in Heliopolis, Amr ibn Al-'As was given 4000 more men, totalling his soldier count to 12000 which was nothing compared to 20,000++ Romans he had to face. Amr ibn Al-'As wasn't even a military officer btw, he was just another Arab tradesmen, he just happened to know and understand Egypt because of years trading with Egypt.
how can he have not been a military officer if he was commanding troops?
@@hegantank6495It might be his first or one of his first stints.
@@kuronoch.1441 Amr was one of the four main leaders of the Islamic conquest of Syria and a close friend of Khalid Ibn al-Walid
If he was only trademan he wouldn't lead army in conquest
@@hegantank6495 If the Roman have someone like Domentianus to hold a fortified city, a merchant is more than sufficient to lead an army against the Roman.

@@HistoryMarche Oh thank god for that, and thank you very much for all your amazing work!
I think a series on the Komnenian restoration would be a very good project, as for me that period of history is one of the most interesting ones and I'm sure many agree
I think HM could combine some of their older videos. They already did a video on Komnenos I a few years ago.
"An Egyptian called John" - made me laugh so hard
Yeah these were common names during the Greek administration.
Could have said "a Greco-Roman Egyptian named John". The real Kemetyu (ancient Egyptians) has fallen to the Assyrians of Cambyses 1,300 years before the Arab conquest.
More yohanah for the local name unlike the latinized one, John.
We have a very famous Egyptian star of social media. A Coptic Man whose name is : John El-Masry (John the Egyptian).
@@ohlangeni Assyrian and cambyses? I can predict your iq by that comment, Egyptians still live to this day and they are the direct descendants of their ancient ancestors, ok hotep?
Over 1 million subscribers, congratulations!
Amr ibn Al-'As then wrote to 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab telling him that Allah the Almighty had granted them victory and opened Egypt for them. He told him as well that he reached Fayum and Abwat. He also asked for reinforcements because he concluded that the remaining army was not sufficient.
'Umar reinforced him with 4,000 men. At the head of each 1,000 was a man who was equal to a 1,000 men by himself. These 4 vigorous men were Al-Zubair ibn Al-'Awwam, Al-Miqdad ibn 'Amr, 'Ubadah ibn Al-Samit and Muslimah ibn Mukhlid. In his message to 'Amr, 'Umar said, "You had better know that you have 12,000 men and these twelve thousand will not be defeated because of their small number."
I love your videos they are so incredibly well made, im gripped by your narration and entertained throughout the videos as history is one of my favourite subjects and you are one of my favourite channels on youtube.
I like how this invasion was explained:
Roman Egypt was none conquered by sword, it was through the infighting, indecisiveness, and the low morale of the Romans. The Arabian Sword was just the icing on top.
plus most Egyptian Coptic sided with the Arabs since they were oppressed by Rome and the Roman Catholic church an Orthodox Coptic monk who lived in that era named Yuhanaa (John ) of Nicosia wrote on his book History of the Ancient World that a most Coptic did that and noted that some even converted to Islam even Before the Muslims were able to take full control of Egypt because of the tyranny of the Emperor and the harassment he caused to the Orthodox.
Yes. The Egyptians and Arabs who lived in Egypt requested from the Muslims to liberate them.
That’s coping. Romans tried to fight the Arabs and they lost despite outnumbering the Arabs. The early Islamic conquest was simply unstoppable for the most part as simple as it is.
@@sammainman9464
Not true at all. copts did not side with Muslims at all and there was no Islam - Islam/Quran was not written even after invading Egypt - how a nation would ask another nation to invade them ??? what would be the reaction of Romans who were ruling the country towards Copts if they requested such thing???!!!! silly thinking and false propaganda
Islam is not a religion, it is a political armed movement to control Arabic tribes and united them
@@MaSa-bp5qe
Lies. Not true. no body requested Muslims to liberate them, evil propaganda- what would be the reaction of Romans who were ruling the country towards Copts if they requested such thing???!!!! silly thinking and false propaganda
I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your latest episode. It was truly magnificent! Your content is always so unique and engaging, and this episode was no exception. Thank you for your dedication to delivering such high-quality historical content. Looking forward to the next one!😀

This Arab general is unappreciated
I agree. Unfortunately, most Western sources tend to frown upon or at times downplay the history & military capabilities of the Arab world.
The Arab strategy, alongside indirectly some of the incompetence/overconfidence of Byzantine leaders on the other end, set the stage on what happened at Heliopolis
On the surface, it reminds me at least partially (some subtle resemblance) of Hannibal's early tactics many centuries ago against the Western Roman sect from Hispania to Trasimene until the Battle of Cannae
Hannibal, in some regard, would have approved of the tactics the Arabs used against Byzantium.
Most of them were. Being any sort of a powerful Muslim general was / is a dangerous proposition for their health.
Aren't they all? The two who conquered Spain were jailed as a reward
@@JOGA_Wills bad leadership sucks
@@JOGA_Wills that story is not strong enough, most agree they just died on the way to hajj
Excellent video! I always enjoy learning about this period in history.
@HistoryMarche During Battle of Yarmouk and in the Conquest of Egypt, "Umar" was the Caliph not 'Abu Bakr'. I am sure you would correct the mistake.
Perfect explanation with the advertising 👌

Thank you for an excellent( history Marche) channel for sharing that magnificent work.
The intro is basically summarised in the quran in chapter Rum. Where it was prophesied that the romans will win against the Sassanids.
🤮🤢
predicted*
@@Arima.p ?
Yeah cause ir was written after it happened duh
@@guzelataroach4450*Before
1:15 By the time the battle of Yarmouk took place, Abu Bakr had been dead for years. Umar was the Caliph at the time
There’s so many other errors on that map, Mesopotamia is still shown under sassanid control while it was conquered before the levant. And there’s Baghdad shown on the map while it didn’t exist yet back then
Congratulations on the over 1 million subscribers.
great history content once again...we are lucky to have you...just finish the series with hannibal too...please ❤
Considering that Egypt was the breadbasket I’m surprised the praesentalis army was not sent there. Also seems like Heraclius was the only competent general on the Roman side my goodness.
As we all know, one of the most important factors that determine the outcome of wars is morale and not leaving the battlefield. Of course, the political situations in Eastern Rome are important. I think the real question is, how and with what motivation did these people achieve this, while all the armies of the period trembled against the Persians and Romans? Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters.
Happy may the fourth be with you history Marche.
your voice on the commentaries are really cool and fitting 👍
Im at work, gotta sneak this in!!
If the boss comes in just say: "But there's a war in Egypt! Look!"
"The Roman's are getting pushed out of Egypt sir, I'm sorry this is urgent. "
3:31 This is why its more appropriate to call these the Muslim/Islamic conquests. Arabs were already familiar with these lands since they lived and traded at the fringes of Eastern Rome and Persia for centuries, some were even Christian or Jewish. What spurred them on to conquer was Islam.
Excellent work.
Fantastic video!
Great 👍 Video.
But when Hannibal?
It's been a year we didn't see him on a battlefield.
Working on it, should come soon.
whole Roman empire to Demantanius : "Why are you running?"

He talk about duel in video there was 2 fought in duel altough muslim general won but he afterwards died due for his heavily injuries was hitted by his opppenet
So a tie perhaps?
I really hope you can continue Vikings series soon, it's amazing
Thank you.
How Sassanid Empire existed while the Egypt willingly turned into a Caliphate area?
🤔, I also noticed it, Persia was conquered before Egypt,.
That was my question too 🤣
Also, Egyptians loved Amr Ibn Al Aas more than the Romans and the Egyptian people allied with him against the Romans and they were the key for all his victories against the Romans. Even Coptic Christians loved Amr a lot. They were his spies against the Romans and they were opening the gates for him, giving him secret locations. God rest his soul. He was a great man. He was kicked out of leadership of Egypt by Uthman rw because he was drunk on power and refused to take jizya from the Christians and he was going on the way to take Egypt and separate it from the caliphate.
Separate it from the caliphate!
foolish...
@@J_FGCC4474 Don't hate Uthman rw for it. He did his best to keep Egypt in the Caliphate. Look up, "Amr Ibn Al Aas' letters to Umar and feud with Al Sarh." On Google. You'll find it.
One of the best channels in RUclips
Continue more Arab stories and Hannibal, those 2 are your GEMS of the channel
I never knew there was a Babylon, Egypt
Yep, it's an old Roman fortress. I presented it on the map as a city because it was significant during this period.
حصن بابليون the last fort against the muslim army
then the egyptian Christians claimed that the fort was built on top of old church so the muslim openers gave it back to them
Its a roman fortress now in Cairo. Under a church nowadays. I heard that its called Babylon because of ramsis the second having Babylonian prisoners there. Not sure if its true
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Amr Al Aas imitated the invasion strategy of Khalid by having the byzantines commit and pin down large numbers of their troops to one side of the country first before invading the emptied other half of the country so he can capture it with fewer troops?
Yh they were both geniuses, and fun fact they were friends and they became muslims in the same day.
Awesome video
I love Roman history so much it’s hard to listen to their humiliating defeats. Anyone else ? 😂
Same here man, whenever I see a video about Rome or Byzantium I automatically rute for them. I swear it hurts me to see them lose 😂
great work as always
the presenters' voice adds so much oomph to the video
As a kid in late primary / early high school I was a huge roman history buff (yes i was a nerd...) - im only 7 min into the video so far o I don't know if this is addressed but: As far as I am aware there were Roman Legions present in Egypt at this point of time that were originally established in the late republic / early empire - so the Arab expansion into Egypt likely marked the beginning of the end of the oldest Legions in the Empire
BRO FINISH THE HANNIBAL SERIES!!!! You guys left us hanging big time.
شكرا جزيلا على مجهودك 🌹
Probably one of those moments in history which can be considered pivotal. And one of the big 'what-ifs' in history is what would have happened if the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sassanid Empire didn't bled out each other just before the outburst of the Muslims. Would they have been able to stop them together? How would the world look today if they did?
Probably not as big a difference as you think for the Arabs had also been warring for 30 years before the conquests began. Their numbers were never large either, yet what won the day for them was their zeal and excellent leadership
Whoever reads my ridiculous comment thinks that the Arabs were better off... Why don’t you admit that the Arabs were also warring tribes and kingdoms as well?
@ntluck1592 That's why it is a what-if. I don't know the answer, and neither do you.
@@ntluck1592 People often forget a very important factor in every Arab conquest, The line "They joined the Muslims" which means a large chunk of dissatisfied groups of people joined the enemy, Which is actually a rare case in history.
And the major wars of Persians-Romans contributed a lot.
@@ntluck1592"The Arabs would have won anyway because it was inevitable"
Don't make us laugh.
I love HistoryMarche
Excellent video and graphic - just one inaccuracy at 8:45 when you say "troops from Lower Egypt were sent" to reinforce Theodosius and the graphic shows units going from South to North to Heliopolis. But "Lower Egypt" actually refers to the delta area of the Nile River in the North, i.e. downstream, not the upstream "Upper" Egypt in the South. So if your text is right, then the graphic should show units moving from the North to the South along the Nile, not the other way around.
There were no Roman collaborators in Egypt
The original people of Egypt were occupied by the Romans
They helped the Muslims because the Roman rule in Egypt was unjust to them
never disappoints
My favourite part was the duel, I didn´t know about it; the Arabs were more brave so that they deserve Egypt.
Why did omar ra stopped khalid the sword of god to conquer the whole world 😢😢😢😢
:- ) It was better this way. The world would have stopped him anyway. Oceans and sh!t. Distance, disease, etc.
besides, they did not even know where what was on Earth. F.e. the America.
He didn't. Khalid sorta retired.
He didnt want his army to believe that Khalid gives victory and not god.
Thats why he retired them.
Btw, Amr is a very good general TBH
@@HistoryBasis no but why he did that 😭😭 but many said omar forced him beacause everyone Was looking at him different
@@animeszene Yes, It is unfortunate that he did not command in more battles and campaigns. If it continued, we would have definetly said he is the greatest general in world history.
But it is what it is. Sometimes sweet apples rot in the end.
Doesnt matter. Even when Khalid ibn Walid was retired, they still had Amr ibn AL Aas (Conqueror of Egypt), And Saad ibn Waqqas (Conquerer of half of Persia). Two of the best generals in that era after Khalid ibn Walid!
For the algortithm 🍻🍻🍻🍻
great video man
can you make a series on baybars campaign against the crusader states?
i can't seem to find anything good on that on youtube
kings and generals has a video on him and his destruction and razing of antioch
Whoa, two battles today! Yaaaaay!
I dont think its a coincidence that the Middle Eastern and North African provinces fell so quickly both to the Sassanids and then to the Arabs. They had a lot of discontented minorities like the Monophysites, the Nestorians and in some places the Jews, who were persecuted by the Byzantines. The Muslims were promising not equality but toleration if people paid the Jizya tax. Donatism still persisted to some extent in North Africa too.
The companions of the Prophet knew how to fight the strongest empires on earth
Bro it's been 1 year still waiting on the next Hannibal video
Please finish the second punic war series it's the best series i have seen on this war i am following it from it's start.
it feels illegal for me to be this early
It's never too early for some medieval slaughter :)
Thank you for this video! This video makes me cannot helped but wondering what's going to happen if the Roman Empire successfully reconquered Egypt back from the Rashidun Caliphate.
Also, this video really explained in a way why the Coptic Christians during the Second Siege of Constantinople by the Arabs in 717-718 betrayed the Umayyad Caliphate and join the Romans in defending Constantinople by informing them where the newest fleet that come with supplies from Egypt and Tunis for Maslama's forces were.
Not all of the Copts. Only a group did and that group was rejected by the Copts in Egypt. They were on the Romans payroll. Most of them are on the Arab side.
Amir ibn al as a great warrior and companion of the prophet peace be upon him. I was recently in Egypt and visited these historic places. I even visited the grave of Amr.
Why are the 2 city maps in the same video of nikiou so different. Is this a massive oversight?
First one at 22min mark. has many rivers meeting at nikiou as an important center, with the second map at the 27 min mark and battle of nikiou with it off set of the Nile and only a single river.
The Arab Conquests are very underrated.
Nah, they got lucky and hit two empires that just bled each other dry. If they had attacked at any other time, they would have been crushed.
@@Alexander-fl7iiThe Arabs weren’t one united force. Immediately after the prophet’s death, most of Arabia rose up in rebellion And a large rebel army threatened Medina itself. They were only subdued after the extensive ridda wars against vastly superior rebel armies, culminating at battles such as Buzakha and Yamama. Most Arabian tribes - since they had rebelled - did not contribute to the war effort until later on when this was absolutely necessary at Qadisiyyah and that was only on the Persian front. You can’t just belittle the achievement of destroying Rome and ending Persia at the same time with the excuse of “they just fought a war”. Okay, so had the Arabs.
@@Alexander-fl7ii the Arabs themselves were having a civil war of their own, if they didn’t have have civil wars and attacked the Byzantines in their prime, the Byzantines would still get crushed
@@MJ511KWno they wouldn't, at their prime Belisarius would've sacked Mecca and islam would've never spread as far as it did
@@DrKarmo lol keep creating your own happiness, belisarius would run for his life if he sees Khalid ibn Al walid not even the mongols can stop Islam you think Christians can ? 😂
if i am not mistaken i have read in different sources that the taxes were not changed when the muslims controlled egypt
Domentianus was to the Byzantine Empire what Red Six was to the Rebel Forces. History Marche really went for jugular (or blubbular) with their animation of Domentianus.
28:58 while watching sport in an arena and NOT fighting for our very lives, it is extremely difficult to communicate anything with anybody just 20 m away, even if we have the same 1st language.
but
in all the dust, noise, violence, danger, combat, pain, bloodshed, fear, etc. of this battle, a dude defeats the language barrier clearly and loud enough so that the other dude can understand the challenge. And, under all those circumstance mentioned above, all the other dudes let them duel.
NO way.
Maybe This one just for fairy tales but I am sure that some battles had random duels, Not everyone were spartan-like infantry and could immediately engage the enemy head front, Maybe this specific contingent was hastily recruited for war and their officer wanted to encourage them or just random crazy bastard who wanted to see blood so he randomly pushed forward from his line and started screaming at the enemy line.

Legio V Macedonia was the oldest Roman legion, originating from the time of Caesar's Civil War. By that time, it was based in Egypt and had lasted 6 centuries before to be vanquished by the Muslims during the conquest of Egypt... This legion lasted from the time of Caesar to the time of Amr! From the beginnings of the Roman empire to the rise of Islam! Their annihilation signals a new era, where Rome would finally be supplanted by a greater empire...
