SHNEAKO - The Greatest Warrior Of All Time： Khalid ibn al-Walid

00:00:00.000 they pried open crassus's mouth and they brought a pot of molten gold and they poured it down his

00:00:05.440 throat that event triggers almost 700 years of back and forth warfare between the romans and

00:00:14.640 the persians we don't have real firm number but about 200 persians though wow you realize right

00:00:20.560 now we're in iran is the roman empire versus the persian empire right it's the same battle and they

00:00:27.120 kill you at a ratio of 100 to 1. That's a bad deck. This is Khalid Ibn Walid from Roy Casagranda.

00:00:35.620 All right, so the talk tonight is going to be about a specific person, which is unusual for

00:00:40.540 Austin school lectures. Usually I do some, like, overwhelmingly large event that's unwieldy.

00:00:46.740 In this case, the person is named Khalid Ibn Walid. Good pronunciation. He was a 7th century

00:00:52.400 arab he was actually born probably sometime around uh 592 so end of the sixth century

00:00:59.680 but most of his life is in the seventh century how's the audio and do i need to put on my

00:01:04.800 headphones or can i do this experiences taught me and for those of you who've had me before

00:01:08.800 that i should never start my stories at the beginning i need to start my stories

00:01:15.200 way before the beginning so that's what I'm going to do and that's in part because I want to make

00:01:22.720 sure that I ground him firmly in the period that he's in like I want to make sure that there's a

00:01:29.640 good understanding of why what he does is so interesting and also just sort of a sense of

00:01:38.240 why it matters. I'm gonna start also by making a completely subjective statement

00:01:47.020 that when it gets on the Austin School YouTube channel will draw a bunch of

00:01:52.220 ire and I'll probably get a stream of nasty comments but I like that. So and it

00:02:00.200 is this that Palladabnu Walid was one of the three greatest warriors of all time

00:02:05.960 and that's one of the reasons why I want to cover him

00:02:09.160 is because I just want to do a profile in a person who

00:02:12.260 if you're interested in warfare

00:02:14.860 it totally embodied warfare

00:02:16.860 so this is a talk about war

00:02:18.800 and I'll probably also get a little bit of flack

00:02:21.320 for over glorifying war

00:02:23.000 which is cool too

00:02:24.460 I'm okay with that as well

00:02:25.940 for the record when I was at the University of Maryland

00:02:29.260 University College in their history department

00:02:31.620 we were trying to create a war history department

00:02:33.840 So this is part of my mental illness.

00:02:37.080 So having said all this, I want to start by actually attacking the way history is taught in the United States.

00:02:47.080 And the reason is because of the way we structure Western Civilization courses.

00:02:53.840 So if you take Western Civ I and Western Civ II, the general idea, and most of the textbooks are set up this way,

00:03:01.160 is that Western Civ I will cover everything until 1492 or 1648,

00:03:07.360 whatever arbitrary year they picked, to stop Western Civ I.

00:03:12.420 And then Western Civ II will be everything since 1648.

00:03:16.400 So in other words, we're going to spend 16 weeks

00:03:18.800 talking about the first 5,000 years of Western civilization.

00:03:23.400 And then we're going to spend 16 weeks talking about the last 350,

00:03:27.360 which is based on two really big flaws.

00:03:32.800 The first is sort of a proximity bias

00:03:35.520 because the last 350 years are closer to us,

00:03:38.300 they therefore must be more important,

00:03:40.480 which is definitely wrong.

00:03:43.320 For example, the outcome of the Battle of Actium in 31 BC,

00:03:47.480 I guarantee you has way more impact on your day-to-day lives

00:03:51.560 than the outcome of one of the British defeats.

00:03:56.100 there were multiple in afghanistan in the 19th century but the defeat in afghanistan in the

00:04:02.300 19th century was it in the last 200 years there were the british have been beaten four times

00:04:06.880 two times in the 19th century um and so it's closer to you but it has a much smaller impact

00:04:13.380 than that event 2000 years ago and so the first problem is this bias is wrong

00:04:19.980 The second problem with this bias is its racist implications.

00:04:25.780 It is a profoundly racist bias because what it attempts to do is distill Western civilization into a history of how cool white people are.

00:04:35.700 As opposed to actually looking at Western civilization for what it was, which was not a color-based endeavor.

00:04:43.580 And if anything, it was founded by brown people.

00:04:45.640 So then it's sort of an attempt by French, British, and English scholars to capture something that they didn't create, make it theirs, and then divorce it from its creators.

00:04:59.040 And I can prove this to you, really simply, in fact.

00:05:02.000 When you take that Western Civ I class, weeks one and two cover Mesopotamia and Egypt.

00:05:08.940 In fact, your class is probably structured like this.

00:05:11.260 Week one was Mesopotamia.

00:05:12.280 Week two was Egypt.

00:05:14.200 Every professor is different.

00:05:15.420 every university is different but probably weeks um three four five and six were greece

00:05:22.840 and then maybe seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen were rome and then

00:05:29.740 fifteen was the medieval period which is why nick doesn't accept us is because in america

00:05:34.180 you have to worship the jew on a stick all right bro all right all right all right

00:05:41.800 by time, covered in one week.

00:05:44.960 And then week 16, the first part of the modern.

00:05:48.000 So if they went to 1648, they went to that, right, in that last week.

00:05:53.660 The reason why this is rooted in a profound form of racism.

00:05:59.740 Okay.

00:06:00.940 Also, what you're forgetting, maybe that's Mossad Dono,

00:06:03.260 that we believe Jesus is the Messiah.

00:06:05.100 You shouldn't disrespect him at all.

00:06:06.540 You should not disrespect the crucifixion.

00:06:08.760 It's because of the following.

00:06:09.940 The class admits that Western civilization was created by Iraqis and Egyptians.

00:06:15.520 It starts in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

00:06:18.480 It admits that.

00:06:19.920 And then it pretends that Western civilization got up and ran away and began inhabiting Italy and Germany and England and never again ended up in the Middle East.

00:06:30.980 which is preposterous because all the middle east could ever do as the founder of western

00:06:36.860 civilization is simply evolve its western civilization do you see what i'm saying it

00:06:43.180 it's not like it could lose it it is it it just evolved differently than italy or germany or

00:06:49.420 england but it doesn't make it any less western civ and so the way we teach western civ one where

00:06:56.240 we do one week maybe maybe two weeks on the medieval period actually takes us to the next

00:07:03.260 level because i'm going to talk about an event that takes place in that we act as if the medieval

00:07:09.440 period which we call the dark ages only took place in europe and in fact we've renamed the birthplace

00:07:17.760 of western civilization the middle east as if it's in the east when it's clearly not in the east

00:07:24.500 since it birthed Western civilization, right?

00:07:28.220 And then we ignore everything that was happening

00:07:31.700 in the Middle East during the medieval period.

00:07:34.000 And let me just give you an idea

00:07:35.060 of what was happening in the Middle East

00:07:36.300 during the medieval period.

00:07:38.000 So while Europeans had no indoor plumbing

00:07:41.120 and no paved roads,

00:07:43.280 and their life expectancy was 40,

00:07:45.360 and the way they took care of their waste

00:07:46.760 was they would do it in a chamber pot

00:07:48.100 and fling it into the street,

00:07:50.180 the Middle East had indoor plumbing

00:07:52.160 that brought fresh water in

00:07:53.680 and took sewage water out.

00:07:55.680 The Middle East had streets that were lit up at night

00:07:58.060 with oil lamps.

00:08:00.980 In part because I want to set the mood,

00:08:03.380 show you the technology that was available at the time,

00:08:05.860 and then tell you why what follows fault.

00:08:09.940 It's the Battle of Kadhae.

00:08:12.200 I didn't actually...

00:08:13.540 So I pulled up this map.

00:08:15.380 I was having the hardest time finding a map.

00:08:16.780 I was at the point where I was going to make a map,

00:08:18.300 but I was running out of time.

00:08:19.680 And then I thought, you know what?

00:08:20.700 I've got to find something.

00:08:21.640 And I kept digging and digging and digging in the Googles.

00:08:23.680 And I believe the man who made this map is Polish.

00:08:27.580 If you're not Polish, I'm so sorry.

00:08:29.140 I just guessed.

00:08:30.360 But it's okay because most of the names are in either the Persian names or the Roman name.

00:08:37.500 If I'm wrong, forgive me.

00:08:38.920 But it's somewhere right in there.

00:08:39.880 I'm not shilling for countries, bro.

00:08:41.180 I'm literally watching a lecture right now.

00:08:42.880 Don't take everything he says as face value.

00:08:45.260 People will get seething in the chat.

00:08:47.140 He's going to have bias.

00:08:49.160 This is a lesson.

00:08:50.260 You don't have to agree with everything he said.

00:08:52.340 Okay, don't get your panties up in a bunch because he says one you didn't like.

00:08:55.000 Y'all saw how tough I looked hiding behind the camera while my number goon handled shit.

00:09:00.520 You didn't even handle it.

00:09:01.280 You just started yelling pork with his belly out.

00:09:03.480 Okay, the southern end of Turkey, a little bit to the east, just north of Syria.

00:09:10.220 The reason that battle took place is because of what a guy named Gaius Julius Caesar did.

00:09:16.860 You guys incorrectly call him Julius Caesar.

00:09:18.800 caesar i'm gonna do it too because it's fun who doesn't like to mispronounce things on purpose

00:09:25.880 caesar decided his family was going bankrupt that the best way that he could solve the bankruptcy

00:09:31.680 was to start an illegal war with the celts living in gaul conquer them and then plunder their

00:09:37.080 resources and enslave them and so that's what he does and he becomes fabulously wealthy and he

00:09:41.740 saves his family from bankruptcy who's what's this guy's name again caesar decided his family

00:09:47.360 was going bankrupt bankrupt bankruptcies started a little war he was part of a secret illegal

00:09:54.340 arrangement with two other men the three men were in the senate there were two patricians

00:10:01.540 and a plebeian the senate always wanted a plebeian on board and the plebeian of course

00:10:05.900 was pompey magnus the most famous plebeian to be in the senate and then caesar who was a patrician

00:10:11.100 and another guy named crassus nobody ever remembers crassus crassus and pompey hated

00:10:16.840 each other's guts and there was a little bit of fear that maybe a civil war would break out so

00:10:21.240 to prevent the civil war crassus pompey and caesar got together and created this secret little power

00:10:27.640 arrangement so that they could control the senate and then basically the three of them would rule

00:10:31.960 rome and everybody would pretend somebody else was doing it okay so crassus caesar who's the third guy

00:10:37.560 Crassus, Caesar, and went undercover so others could rule Rome.

00:10:54.200 Pompey.

00:10:56.120 I think he spelled it.

00:10:57.020 Isn't it Pompey with an I?

00:10:58.760 Pompey with a Y?

00:11:00.020 Okay, thank you.

00:11:02.300 Is that cool?

00:11:05.220 Crassus sees what Caesar does.

00:11:06.920 sees how wealthy Caesar becomes

00:11:08.800 and goes, whoa, I want

00:11:10.860 this. Crassus

00:11:12.780 was the governor of Syria.

00:11:15.380 So he thought, who's the

00:11:16.900 nearest rich, what's the nearest rich place

00:11:18.880 I can go conquer? And he went,

00:11:20.900 it's Persia, let me attack it.

00:11:23.240 And so he took

00:11:23.980 40,000 Romans

00:11:26.900 and they marched from Syria

00:11:28.480 into the Persian Empire

00:11:30.560 and they met at Karhai.

00:11:34.320 40,000

00:11:35.300 Romans.

00:11:36.560 You just said 30.

00:11:38.460 32,000 infantry, and they were heavy infantry, right?

00:11:41.280 Think of Roman legionnaires with the interlocking shields and the spears called pilum,

00:11:46.100 and they had a little gladius, a little short sword, and they would march in tight ranks, heavily armored.

00:11:51.380 They were basically just a giant human wall, pointy human wall, because they had the spear sticking out.

00:11:57.720 And then about 4,000 light cavalry and about 4,000 medium cavalry.

00:12:03.220 And they went.

00:12:05.380 And they meet the Persians at Karhai.

00:12:08.300 They meet 8,000 Persians on horseback.

00:12:12.580 8,000 cavalry.

00:12:14.740 Which is what they had.

00:12:15.980 They had 8,000 cavalry.

00:12:17.860 And the Persians that they met were light cavalry with bows and arrows.

00:12:23.320 So the Romans were like, oh, we got this.

00:12:25.840 40,000 versus 8,000, what are they going to do, shoot arrows at us?

00:12:29.180 so the persians ride up and they fire arrows from horseback and the romans were like okay

00:12:35.680 testudo testudo is where you take the shields they interlocked you could you could connect

00:12:40.560 them together and so they locked them together this way and then the row behind them what was

00:12:45.520 the testudo held the shields up like this and then the row behind them held their shields up

00:12:50.500 so that they interlock to make a roof and a wall and the persian arrows bounce harmlessly off the

00:12:56.500 top just it probably sounded loud but otherwise nobody's injured and so at this point the romans

00:13:02.500 are chuckling they're like what are you going to just keep doing that you'll run out of arrows

00:13:05.760 eventually and so then the romans march forward slowly and then persians turn around and fire

00:13:11.980 another round of arrows at the romans and then they ride off so now the romans think okay well

00:13:18.400 let's chase them so they go out of testudo because you can't run like this you can't run

00:13:22.380 holding a fort in the air you need to lower your shields so they lower their shields and they take

00:13:26.580 off on foot running and they're chasing the 8 000 persian horse archers the persian horse archers

00:13:33.840 turn around in their saddles and fire backwards nobody had ever done that in battle the romans

00:13:41.720 are shocked they're so surprised by the thing they don't have time to pull up testudo and hundreds

00:13:47.080 of romans go down this rattles the romans they were on horseback and then turn around in their

00:13:52.940 saddles brown in their saddles horse archers the this rattles the romans they're like whoa

00:14:00.740 we can't just chase these guys okay we need to be a little more cautious and the persians start

00:14:05.560 running up a hill and now the romans are slowly following after them and the persians turn around

00:14:11.300 and shoot but because the romans are slowed down they go back into testudo and not many are injured

00:14:14.980 they don't quite get into testudo in time so some of them do get injured and so it slows the romans

00:14:21.540 down they're getting a little nervous about all of this but then the persians go over the top of

00:14:25.580 the hill so now the romans are like well we might as well run i can't shoot through the hill so they

00:14:30.280 start running and they run up the hill and just as they're cresting the hill to their shock and

00:14:37.300 dismay, the Romans see 1,000 cataphracts. Cataphracts were fully armored soldiers on top

00:14:47.360 of armored horses. The first time Europeans will do that, put a fully armored man on top

00:14:55.740 of an armored horse, is 14 centuries later, at the end of medieval Europe. The Persians

00:15:04.080 were technologically 14 centuries ahead of any european society in terms of heavy cavalry

00:15:09.680 cataphracts 1 000 cataphracts was far superior to 8 000 roman cavalry because they were they were

00:15:16.700 tanks there was almost nothing you could do to them and they're charging up the hill as the

00:15:21.880 romans are charging down the hill so the romans charging down the hill are trying to stop and

00:15:25.480 they're shouting to the guys behind them hey stop running but the guys behind them can't really hear

00:15:29.840 them in part because there are some of them on the other side of the hill but in part because

00:15:33.120 all the noise and the guys running down the hill can't stop running because if they do they'll get

00:15:37.560 knocked down and trampled to death and so they're forced to run towards these cavalry units they

00:15:42.880 can't get into formation and the cataphracts cut through them like a hot knife through butter

00:15:47.120 it's a catastrophe romans are dying everywhere the cataphracts get to the top of the hill they

00:15:52.280 turn around they come back through they get to the bottom of the hill they turn around they come

00:15:55.320 back through the romans are doing everything they can to try to create order and get back into

00:15:58.960 combat formation they can't do it eventually process his son who is up on the hill gets

00:16:04.120 identified by one of the persian warriors they kill him cut off his head stick it on a spike

00:16:08.920 and jam it into the ground so that his dad can see his head the romans are completely disheartened

00:16:15.100 crassus comes up with a new strategy because while the cataphracts are going up and down the hill

00:16:19.900 the horse archers return and they're just shooting arrows at the romans who can't get into formation

00:16:24.980 let alone go into Testudo.

00:16:26.920 And so the Romans are getting hammered by arrows

00:16:28.680 and cut to pieces by these heavy cavalry men.

00:16:32.240 And so he decides, you know what we'll do?

00:16:34.240 We'll just fight this until the Persians run out of arrows.

00:16:39.700 It's always a bad day when your goal is to get the other side

00:16:42.540 to run out of the Holocaust all day

00:16:44.300 whilst daily kneeling to the Jew in every church.

00:16:46.380 It's also a really bad day

00:16:47.600 when the Persians brought 1,000 camels.

00:16:51.460 Don't spread division right now.

00:16:52.680 It's just not beneficial, especially if you're Muslim.

00:16:54.980 You understand? Look at me. Look at my life.

00:16:58.500 People are going to attack you all the time just for being Muslim.

00:17:01.820 So don't play into their hand. Don't do it.

00:17:04.620 Just try to be a good person. Try to lead by example.

00:17:09.040 Try to be unifying. Don't do what they do, bro.

00:17:12.760 Let's unify right now. Let Ramadan on the same day.

00:17:15.480 Loaded with 1,000 arrows each.

00:17:20.420 They had a million arrows.

00:17:22.900 And as the Persian horse archers are firing their arrows,

00:17:25.540 the camels just ride up to them and hand them more.

00:17:29.540 For all intents and purposes, a million arrows versus 40,000 men,

00:17:33.700 like the Persians had an unlimited supply of ammo.

00:17:36.900 Crassus' strategy is a disaster.

00:17:39.360 And the Persians, 9,000 soldiers are tearing these Romans to pieces.

00:17:44.900 The only thing that saves the Romans is the sun goes down.

00:17:49.440 And the Persians and the Romans basically call it.

00:17:52.400 They break up into camps to eat and cook and then go to sleep.

00:17:56.280 In the morning, Crassus comes out and he says, let's talk.

00:18:01.120 And the Persian general, his name is Suren, he's on horse.

00:18:06.500 And Suren says, there's nothing to talk about.

00:18:09.820 He had to stick with him.

00:18:10.920 He draws a line in the ground and he says, this side is Persian, this side is Rome.

00:18:17.360 That line is the Euphrates River.

00:18:19.780 And Crassus goes, no!

00:18:21.080 And when he does, one of the Roman soldiers freaks out,

00:18:23.700 reaches over and grabs the rein of Suren's horses,

00:18:27.220 and the fight starts again.

00:18:29.580 Because the Persians see that, and swords come out,

00:18:32.900 and they just tear the Romans to pieces again on the second day.

00:18:37.740 About 10,000 Romans escaped.

00:18:42.080 About 10,000 Romans were captured, including Crassus.

00:18:46.000 and 20,000

00:18:47.900 Romans were killed

00:18:48.760 and we don't have a real firm number

00:18:51.380 but about 200 Persians died

00:18:53.540 Wow

00:18:55.100 Iran

00:18:57.340 When you outnumber the enemy 5 to 1

00:18:59.260 You realize right now war in Iran

00:19:00.680 is the Roman Empire versus the Persian Empire

00:19:03.560 right?

00:19:05.460 It's the same battle

00:19:06.440 And they kill you

00:19:10.660 at a ratio of 100 to 1

00:19:13.880 That's a bad day

00:19:15.120 that's about it

00:19:17.460 they wait

00:19:19.800 until the Persian emperor shows up

00:19:23.920 his name is Orodes

00:19:25.020 Orodes

00:19:26.780 brings Crassus into his tent

00:19:29.380 Crassus was wounded

00:19:31.260 he was in bad shape

00:19:32.320 Persian surgeons were treating him

00:19:35.240 because they wanted to keep him alive

00:19:36.240 so that Orodes could have a nice conversation with him

00:19:38.760 they kept him alive

00:19:40.200 they bring him forward

00:19:41.220 they have him get on his knees

00:19:42.420 in front of the Persian emperor

00:19:44.200 and Aurodus goes, the most important thing in Persian culture

00:19:47.320 is to be a good host.

00:19:50.200 You are my guest in the Persian Empire.

00:19:53.000 You came here for gold.

00:19:55.500 I will provide.

00:19:57.780 They pried open Crassus' mouth

00:19:59.580 and they brought a pot of molten gold

00:20:02.920 and they poured it down his throat.

00:20:05.380 Whoa!

00:20:07.980 That event triggers

00:20:10.420 almost 700 years

00:20:14.760 of back and forth

00:20:16.300 warfare between the Romans

00:20:18.040 and the Persians. Just back

00:20:20.500 and forth.

00:20:22.080 If you were to take all the

00:20:23.940 fights and stumb them together

00:20:26.600 the Romans

00:20:28.620 managed to keep...

00:20:29.640 You guys say religion apiece.

00:20:31.620 Romans were trying to take their land.

00:20:34.600 So this is the border between the Romans and the Persians.

00:20:36.560 They managed to keep something like this

00:20:38.460 for most of that time period.

00:20:40.420 Because the Romans had a fantastic navy in the Mediterranean.

00:20:44.420 So every time the Persians would capture Syria or Palestine or Egypt or Anatolia,

00:20:48.080 the Romans could respond with their navy and deploy troops behind the Persians.

00:20:52.000 And then that made it so the Persians could never really hold any land to the west of their empire.

00:20:58.380 But as a general rule, the Persians usually won.

00:21:01.280 Not always.

00:21:02.140 The Romans sometimes beat up on them.

00:21:03.980 But in the 3rd century...

00:21:05.320 Did I say Saudi Arabia?

00:21:07.260 What are you guys saying, CX?

00:21:09.240 What's going on?

00:21:09.960 We're watching a lecture again.

00:21:10.920 He keeps rating me when I'm watching lectures.

00:21:13.200 One Persian emperor, a guy named Shapur,

00:21:16.280 beat three Roman emperors.

00:21:19.180 And in fact, so badly he captured one Roman emperor

00:21:21.720 with two whole intact Roman legions.

00:21:27.040 He was the first Roman emperor ever captured a lot in battle.

00:21:30.460 Crassus was not an emperor.

00:21:31.660 He was a member of the Senate.

00:21:33.780 And he was a governor, but he wasn't an emperor.

00:21:35.440 The first captured Roman emperor ever was Emperor Valeria.

00:21:38.280 emperor valerian was first

00:21:40.800 in case uh you wanted to

00:21:47.920 rome gets into really big trouble in fact so does persia they both get into really big trouble

00:21:58.220 in fact all of western civilization gets into really big trouble what happened and the reason

00:22:02.820 is because of indonesian fishermen abc thanks for the raid appreciate you bro tim line you know how

00:22:08.140 they can go rogue they're so dangerous the indonesians had discovered there were a bunch

00:22:19.820 of islands through the middle of the indian ocean and you could hop from island to island so even

00:22:24.360 though they didn't have truly ocean worthy vessels they had vessels that were ocean worthy enough

00:22:29.020 you could get between the islands and that made it so that you could start in indonesia and head

00:22:33.880 towards Africa, crossing the Indian Ocean, and you can island hop your whole way across.

00:22:39.660 And before they knew it, they were on this really big island to the east of Africa called

00:22:44.880 Madagascar. And when they got there, there were no humans living on Madagascar. They

00:22:50.160 were just lemurs, our ancestors, but no humans. And they went, geez, let's set up a colony.

00:22:56.960 And they did. And they began growing rice on the colony. And as they grew this rice,

00:23:01.080 they began trading the rice with africa and before long so only libra's living in madagascar

00:23:06.840 it was colonized by the indians uh indonesians colonized by indonesians

00:23:12.360 uh they trade rice with africa

00:23:15.980 so madagascar is indonesian

00:23:20.540 wait a second is that what do they still look like that

00:23:25.820 Indo Madagascar people what do they look like the Malagazi people are distinct

00:23:36.660 ethnic group forming by the blend of Southeast Asia yeah what they look

00:23:42.940 indonesian i did i mix with a lot of black people the malagazi

00:23:50.780 wow

00:23:54.300 super interesting on africa itself began to grow the rice sneaker land really

00:24:04.240 and as they go and before long africa itself began to grow the rice and as they traded with

00:24:12.280 to other people, the rice began to spread across Africa

00:24:15.160 until it got to places like Egypt.

00:24:17.300 And before you knew it, rice was growing in Mesopotamia.

00:24:19.880 And before you knew it, rice was growing

00:24:21.200 even in Southern parts of Europe.

00:24:23.100 This glass empty is probably during COVID.

00:24:24.600 Everyone has masks on, that's why it looks so empty.

00:24:27.280 March, 2022, it was probably filmed during COVID.

00:24:30.260 The reason why this is a problem

00:24:34.800 is because to grow rice, you flood a field.

00:24:38.340 And when you flood a field,

00:24:39.740 We create a place for mosquitoes to grow.

00:24:43.620 Malaria-bearing mosquitoes.

00:24:45.480 And malaria ends up tearing up the entire region

00:24:49.980 from Spain to Iran.

00:24:51.740 Populations, the life expectancy is absolutely plunge.

00:24:55.880 If they were 40, 45, they dropped to 20, 25.

00:24:59.720 And as a result, Rome's population goes into dramatic decline

00:25:03.560 and so does Iran's.

00:25:05.200 And they're just barely scraping by.

00:25:07.540 And then, as if that's not enough, there's an outbreak of the bubonic plague.

00:25:12.220 It's frequently called Justinian's Plague in the middle of the 6th century.

00:25:18.140 And it tears Roman Persia to pieces.

00:25:20.600 The bubonic plague does this really weird thing where it looks like it's on an 800-year cycle

00:25:25.700 where it'll be dormant for 799 years.

00:25:30.080 It'll wake up, tear through the human population for a year, maybe two, max, and then go dormant again.

00:25:36.660 When I say terror through the human population, the last bubonic plague outbreak, which was 1348, killed 40% of Europeans in a one-year span of time.

00:25:46.160 Wow.

00:25:47.020 It killed 60% of Middle Easterners and North Africans in that same year.

00:25:53.380 So just put this in perspective, we're running about a 2% fatality rate with COVID, not a 50% fatality rate.

00:26:01.080 Told you that was a fucking scam.

00:26:02.940 Told you.

00:26:03.920 60% of North Africans.

00:26:06.180 And then the Bumonic Plate goes back to sleep.

00:26:07.980 For those of you doing the math real quick, it's six and a half centuries.

00:26:11.340 We've got a century and a half left.

00:26:12.980 And then it'll kick into high gear.

00:26:14.980 I'm assuming this pattern isn't going to go away.

00:26:16.660 I don't know why it would all of a sudden.

00:26:19.280 It's happened so many times now.

00:26:20.700 I think we're on four or five.

00:26:23.500 So that's comforting to know.

00:26:27.240 So by the time we get to the 6th century AD,

00:26:31.780 the populations of both the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire are dramatically reduced.

00:26:36.460 There are just simply fewer people living, which means less food, smaller armies, and a terrible

00:26:41.800 economy. The Romans are barely... So some of you might be a little confused because you've been

00:26:47.640 taught that Rome fell in 476, and I want to just restate Rome did not fall in 476 AD. Rome fell in

00:26:55.680 1453 AD and that's nonsense. All Rome did was reunify so that there was only one

00:27:01.840 Emperor and the capital was Constantinople which in this map...

00:27:05.040 What the hell did Rome really fall in 1453?

00:27:12.960 It was reunified so that there was only one Emperor and the capital was

00:27:17.340 Constantinople which in this map is spelled with a K.

00:27:21.680 Go. So, um...

00:27:26.680 We was Roman shit.

00:27:28.680 There was a Roman emperor. His name was Mauricius.

00:27:31.680 But of course we mispronounce everything, so I'll just say Morris.

00:27:34.680 Maurice.

00:27:36.680 Mauricius is so much better.

00:27:39.680 Emperor Mauricius had sided with a Persian, trying to become the Persian.

00:27:44.680 What happened?

00:27:46.680 We're back?

00:27:48.680 What the hell happened?

00:27:51.680 Damn. As soon as I said, we was Roman shit. We was Roman shit.

00:27:56.920 Emperor in the middle of a Persian civil war. Oh my God.

00:28:00.420 Had sided with a Persian thing. So I'll just say Morris. Maurice.

00:28:05.320 How do you spell Mauritius?

00:28:06.780 Morris. Mauritius is so much better.

00:28:10.340 Emperor Mauritius had sided with a Persian trying to become the Persian emperor in the middle of a Persian civil war.

00:28:16.740 His name was Khosrow II.

00:28:19.260 And when Mauritius...

00:28:21.180 Oh, when Khosrow...

00:28:21.920 Okay, so there's a lot of information.

00:28:25.140 Mauritius had sided with the Persians.

00:28:27.680 Mauritius sided with the Persians.

00:28:30.740 How do you spell it again?

00:28:34.680 Mauritius sided with the Persians.

00:28:42.280 Trying to become the Persian emperor in the middle of a Persian civil war.

00:28:45.620 His name was Khosrow II.

00:28:48.140 And when Khosrow succeeded, he felt like since Marikos had helped him so much,

00:28:55.220 he had to work with them, and they became friends.

00:28:58.500 And then a Roman general named Focus.

00:29:01.720 Isn't that a good name?

00:29:03.220 Because, you know, like you're distracted and your parent shouts, Focus!

00:29:07.480 It's just the perfect name for it.

00:29:09.400 General Focus was really angry

00:29:13.800 because Mauritius had allowed a group of Focus's men

00:29:17.160 to get killed in an ambush

00:29:19.180 and he held this really nasty grudge.

00:29:23.160 Eventually Focus ends up in Constantinople

00:29:25.440 and he murders the Roman emperor

00:29:27.420 and makes himself the Roman emperor.

00:29:29.880 So now Focus in 602 AD is the Roman emperor.

00:29:34.560 Khosrow II, the Persian emperor,

00:29:36.860 is outraged that his friend Mauritius

00:29:38.800 has been killed like this, and so

00:29:40.640 Hussro declares war on Rome

00:29:42.900 to avenge the death of his friend

00:29:45.000 and to depose focus.

00:29:49.240 Initially, the Persians have some

00:29:50.640 successes, but they don't last,

00:29:52.840 and the war sort of drags on, and a bunch

00:29:54.860 of nothing gets done. And then

00:29:57.120 there is an

00:30:00.920 uprising within the Roman Empire

00:30:02.560 against focus. That

00:30:04.640 uprising is led by a man named Heraclius,

00:30:07.580 And Heraclius eventually takes over and becomes a new Roman emperor.

00:30:10.960 The problem is, is this war now has a life of its own.

00:30:14.680 And so even though focus is taken out of the picture, and in effect Khosrow II gets his way, it doesn't matter anymore.

00:30:22.000 They're in the war. They're just going to go ahead and fight it out.

00:30:24.800 And to make a long story short, a Persian general, his name was Shachparaz.

00:30:32.060 See where there's parts of the Roman Empire that have vertical lines through them?

00:30:38.180 Shahbaraz carved that chunk of the Roman Empire off and began ruling it himself, basically,

00:30:43.960 because he eventually himself rebels against the Persians.

00:30:46.960 And so there actually ends up being three empires.

00:30:49.620 One empire that stretches from Egypt to Armenia, ruled by Shahbaraz,

00:30:53.320 the Persian Empire to the east and the Roman Empire to the west.

00:30:56.080 um eventually heraclius makes a deal with shah baraz to try to make him the new emperor to end

00:31:02.360 the war uh heraclius actually ended up raising shah baraz's son why is he walking around like

00:31:08.560 he's at coachella can you stand still his name was niketas and he raised him as a first day of

00:31:14.340 the 19th the moon was not sighted extra day in lunar calendar i heard it was the 18th based on

00:31:21.080 my friends and stuff. We're telling you it's tomorrow.

00:31:24.220 Emperor Heraclius is thinking

00:31:25.880 Nicetus will eventually become the Christian

00:31:28.000 ruler of the Persian Empire.

00:31:29.860 The struggle between Rome and Persia will finally end.

00:31:32.900 And so he pushes really hard

00:31:34.340 backs Shahbaraz. Shahbaraz

00:31:36.040 finally takes over Thysiphon, the

00:31:38.120 Persian capital, in 628.

00:31:41.560 So this war

00:31:42.240 went 26

00:31:43.580 years. He takes over

00:31:46.400 the Persian capital, becomes the

00:31:48.140 Persian emperor. He even mints a coin

00:31:50.280 with his face on it, and 40 days later is stabbed to death.

00:31:54.320 But the war ended, so that was good.

00:31:57.720 It's just the goal wasn't achieved.

00:32:00.540 6-28.

00:32:03.400 And this is where the intersection takes place

00:32:06.520 between the story I wanted to tell you

00:32:09.520 and the background that I gave you.

00:32:13.740 In 6-10, in Arabia,

00:32:16.720 so if you went right off the map to the south,

00:32:19.680 that's where Mecca is

00:32:21.280 and Stephen is going to scroll down for us

00:32:23.820 right there where it says Mecca

00:32:25.080 there is a man

00:32:27.820 who receives

00:32:29.480 prophecy

00:32:31.020 let's go

00:32:32.160 Prophet Muhammad

00:32:36.200 sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:32:38.320 the archangel

00:32:40.460 Gabriel

00:32:40.900 and his name is Muhammad

00:32:42.860 and he becomes the prophet who will create Islam

00:32:45.560 I'm not going to give you the whole story

00:32:47.200 but I just want to make sure that we're clear

00:32:48.800 approximately what we're talking about in 622 the people of mecca kick him and his followers out so

00:32:55.380 for 12 years he he built his religion in mecca he's kicked out by the meccans who hate his religion

00:33:01.120 in part because they're worried that his religion is going to interfere with their prophets but also

00:33:04.980 his religion might replace their religion when when the prophet muhammad created islam that's

00:33:10.180 why people don't want islamist right it's like all the stuff they bring up oh dogs it's like

00:33:14.620 they just don't want islam to spread because they fear it intellectually because they can't beat it

00:33:21.060 intellectually they need to destroy it with propaganda lies everything that they say to

00:33:24.720 demonize muslims it's all the dumbest goy slop that a pot oh sneaker hates dogs does anyone

00:33:31.100 genuinely believe that so they just need to make up lies because if people heard about islam people

00:33:37.620 heard the truth their power structures would change his original goal was to take christianity

00:33:45.420 and judaism and reunite them he believed that it was a that it was an accident that judaism and

00:33:50.520 christianity got separated and he believed he had received the word of god to fix that and put it

00:33:55.100 back together but as time goes by he concludes that the christians and the jews don't want

00:33:59.960 anything to do with this new religion and he realizes he's created a third abrahamic religion

00:34:04.360 and it's separate.

00:34:06.340 He ends up in 6.2 during the Hijra,

00:34:08.940 which takes him to Yathrib,

00:34:10.240 which on this map is spelled Yathrib.

00:34:13.620 And the people there in Yathrib take him in

00:34:16.260 and eventually the city gets renamed,

00:34:18.480 Medina Tanebi, which means the city of the prophet.

00:34:20.900 Today we just call it Medina.

00:34:22.520 So if you look at a map,

00:34:23.660 you won't see Yathrib on there.

00:34:25.260 I gotta go to Medina this month, man.

00:34:26.640 I miss it so much.

00:34:28.400 I miss Medina so much.

00:34:30.560 Oh, I wanna show you this clip.

00:34:32.260 Stay on this point.

00:34:33.160 Stay on this point.

00:34:33.540 This is a good point in the lecture.

00:34:35.080 Sneeko, Medina.

00:34:36.860 Man, I can't wait to go back.

00:34:39.340 Anyone have that clip with the kids in Medina?

00:34:43.760 You guys know which one I'm talking about.

00:34:46.980 I can't wait, bro.

00:34:48.480 I really need it.

00:34:49.600 I really need it right now.

00:34:51.080 Some of my favorite things in Medina, burying the body.

00:34:53.800 You guys ever, anyone here once in Medina got to do this?

00:34:58.200 Sneeko.

00:34:58.600 Oh, my.

00:35:00.100 Adji, Adji, Adji.

00:35:01.920 Adji, Adji.

00:35:03.540 That works.

00:35:18.020 If you ever go to Medina or Mecca and you need to create a pathway, you want to part

00:35:21.760 the Red Sea of people, because that's what the policemen say, the securities say.

00:35:28.240 It's what everyone thinks you are, and they immediately move.

00:35:30.000 I don't know who this filmer was.

00:35:35.160 You can post it on Twitter.

00:35:38.400 Okay, Sneeko, I stop.

00:35:39.820 We Muslims have just been too nice for too long we ended Persia and Rome.

00:35:44.960 That might be bait.

00:35:46.040 But no, it's not saying we've been nice too long.

00:35:47.580 Just stay steadfast.

00:35:49.600 You're saying whose body was this?

00:35:51.200 I have no idea who this was.

00:35:53.000 I have no idea.

00:35:53.780 And then afterwards, we took shovels and we buried him.

00:35:56.340 Because it said that if you're buried in the city of Medina,

00:35:58.640 that you enter eternal paradise.

00:38:47.840 he's just at the head today

00:38:49.460 a modern map you'll see Medina

00:38:51.200 You know, that's that city.

00:38:53.740 Sneeko, you have to watch how Islam became a world religion

00:38:56.820 by Epic History, a secular video.

00:38:59.320 Is streaming banned in Medina now?

00:39:01.120 I heard that too.

00:39:01.980 I remember hearing that a couple months back.

00:39:03.860 Who's, is that, you think that's my fault?

00:39:08.040 Well, I guess we're not going.

00:39:09.600 No, I'll go on here.

00:39:11.380 Dang.

00:39:12.400 Yes and no?

00:39:13.560 I think it just depends on how you do it.

00:39:15.460 I think it just depends on,

00:39:16.800 on how you do it.

00:39:20.680 No, you're good.

00:39:21.480 You're probably lying right now and you just want to convince me to go.

00:39:26.020 In 625, the Muslims are going to have a fight with the Meccans, a battle, Uhud.

00:39:31.940 And the Meccans beat the Muslims.

00:39:34.080 Yes, the battle of Uhud.

00:39:36.380 Do you know that if you make Janaza prayer,

00:39:39.260 if you make Janaza prayer, you get a reward in heaven the size of Uhud.

00:39:43.640 Do you know that?

00:39:44.240 Allah Akbar!

00:39:45.240 The mountain of Uhud, beautiful mountain.

00:39:47.120 When I did the tour of Medina, you could see it, Uhud Mountain.

00:39:52.260 It's beautiful, bro.

00:39:54.820 Well, you know what's really good?

00:39:55.640 I did a whole stream with the tour guide in Medina.

00:39:58.140 And you could watch back that VOD.

00:39:59.640 Oh, I should upload that VOD on YouTube.

00:40:01.160 Yeah, this mountain here.

00:40:06.380 In 627, the mountain Uhud.

00:40:07.880 Wanting to get into streams like you, do you think Kik or TikTok is better to start on?

00:40:12.000 I think, you know, the Uhud Mountain, I'm trying to pronounce it correctly, Uhud, Uhud.

00:40:16.700 The Meccans attack Yathrib, and they fight a battle called the Battle of the Trench.

00:40:21.880 Khaled ibn Walid was a soldier in both of those battles.

00:40:25.500 In 625, he was there when the Meccans defeated Muhammad and the Muslims,

00:40:29.520 and he was fighting for the Meccans against the Muslims.

00:40:33.220 In 627, he's there again at the Battle of the Trench, where the Muslims defeat the Meccans.

00:40:39.660 Afterwards, and we don't know exactly when, but within two years,

00:40:42.900 he switches sides and he converts to Islam.

00:40:45.460 his uncle he's speaking about the the prophet's uncle here where the most the muslims it's his

00:40:51.460 sides and he converts his uncle yes or no no oh uh halid ibn walid okay okay after uh

00:41:05.220 halid from christianity he converts what does he convert from

00:41:11.620 larper chat i'm not pretending to know everything don't say dj khalid i'm just trying to learn

00:41:15.460 Oh, you're a LARPer, you don't know everything.

00:41:17.320 Yeah, that's the whole point of watching a lecture.

00:41:19.720 After several battles, Khalid converts, I'll say reverts, from paganism.

00:41:32.260 Oh, right, because paganism was super dominant in Mecca.

00:41:35.280 In 629, that's why I know it's within two years, he's marching with soldiers from Yathrib north.

00:41:43.680 so see where it says Petra

00:41:45.480 go to the east of that, there's a city called

00:41:47.620 or a town called Muta

00:41:48.740 Muta, that's the word for

00:41:52.000 for marriage

00:41:54.100 marching north

00:41:55.540 towards

00:41:56.800 the city of Muta

00:42:00.040 towards Muta with this army

00:42:02.120 3,000 Arabs

00:42:03.380 3,000 Muslim Arabs

00:42:04.840 and their goal is to attack the Roman Empire

00:42:07.440 because they're in it

00:42:08.740 see where it says Bani Hassan

00:42:10.700 the Ghassanids were

00:42:12.700 Christian Arabs who

00:42:14.620 fought for the Romans.

00:42:16.860 Where it says, Banullah.

00:42:19.360 Oh, no. Christian Arabs.

00:42:20.720 Fought for the...

00:42:21.720 So, we're Ranids? The fucking

00:42:24.040 captions are so bad. I've got to stop cursing

00:42:26.680 this Ramadan, too.

00:42:28.500 Where it says, Banullah.

00:42:30.880 Those were Christian Arabs who

00:42:32.580 fought for the Persians.

00:42:35.500 So, I'm going to have to be careful

00:42:36.660 when I say Arabs.

00:42:38.360 So, I'm going to try to remember to say

00:42:40.400 Muslim Arabs so that you know I'm not talking about the

00:42:42.440 Christian Arabs fighting for the Romans or the Persians.

00:42:44.880 For the record, there are Jewish Arabs too

00:42:46.440 in the whole mix, just to make it really complicated.

00:42:49.280 In any case,

00:42:50.360 they march to

00:42:51.900 the Romans

00:42:54.020 find out there's this Muslim army coming towards

00:42:56.420 them. They don't take

00:42:58.400 it very seriously, but they take it seriously enough to

00:43:00.280 dispatch a force to go meet them.

00:43:03.000 We don't know the exact size.

00:43:04.840 The Christian Arabs for

00:43:05.540 Romans is called Banu

00:43:08.140 Lahim.

00:43:10.400 Banu Lahim.

00:43:12.760 Is that true?

00:43:14.460 What are you guys saying?

00:43:15.520 What?

00:43:16.840 What are you guys talking about?

00:43:18.460 You think you just can't spell?

00:43:21.320 Oh, uh, Gassanides?

00:43:24.440 He, like...

00:43:26.120 Gassanides.

00:43:30.500 An Arab tribe.

00:43:35.820 Okay, uh, Gassanides, yeah.

00:43:40.400 the Roman coming towards them they don't they're not they don't take it very seriously but they

00:43:50.560 take it seriously enough they dispatch a force to go meet them we don't know the exact size

00:43:55.880 of the Roman force I'm I would bet you like a dollar maybe a dollar ten that it was about

00:44:02.160 10,000 soldiers um sources from the time period say it was a hundred thousand I find that really

00:44:08.160 hard to believe because the romans were having so much trouble fielding a force but why would you

00:44:12.000 bring a hundred thousand men to fight three three thousand men it seems unlikely but anyway the

00:44:16.480 number is probably ten thousand maybe twenty thousand it's not a hundred thousand so the

00:44:22.000 arabs are deployed the muslim arabs are deployed against christian arabs who are fighting for the

00:44:26.200 romans and the romans outnumber them probably three or four or five to one maybe six to one

00:44:32.020 maybe seven to one it's bad and they fight instead of running away like they should have

00:44:36.760 and they get the crap beat out of them

00:44:38.900 and the Muslim Arabs are just in bad trouble

00:44:41.340 and they keep retreating and keep retreating

00:44:42.640 one commander after another dies

00:44:44.380 finally the last commander turns to Khalid ibn Walid

00:44:48.540 and goes

00:44:49.680 I want you to figure out how to get us out of here

00:44:52.600 and hands him the banner

00:44:54.560 to put him in command of the Arab army

00:44:56.680 the Muslim Arab army

00:44:57.500 and what Khalid ibn Walid does

00:45:00.360 is he'll take soldiers

00:45:01.880 and he'll give them a banner

00:45:03.620 and he'll have them sneak around the hill at night so they're behind the hill and then in

00:45:10.440 the daytime he'll have them come over the top of the hill and then when they arrive where the arab

00:45:15.440 army is he secretly sneaks them another banner they sneak around the back side of the hill and

00:45:19.860 they'll come over the top of it again and then he gives them another banner and then they'll go

00:45:23.680 around the back of the hill and they'll come over the top so the romans watching this are like man

00:45:27.160 look at all the reinforcements they're getting and it was just the same group of guys who just

00:45:30.700 He kept marching in a circle around this hill.

00:45:33.200 And then when the sun went down,

00:45:34.740 he would have each man set five, ten campfires

00:45:38.240 and then try to keep walking around in front of the campfires

00:45:41.040 so the Romans watching it would not only see a bunch of campfires,

00:45:43.640 they would see all these men walking in front of the campfires.

00:45:46.680 And he just kept doing these tricks.

00:45:48.940 And what it did was it kept the Romans from attacking

00:45:51.780 because the Romans thought, man, I don't know how big that force is.

00:45:54.120 There's so many of them.

00:45:55.520 And he kept doing this until he finally got far enough away from the Roman army.

00:45:58.940 He could just tell his men to run.

00:46:00.320 Let's run.

00:46:00.700 and they ran. That is the only battle Khaled Ibn Walid was in command of where he didn't win.

00:46:09.420 Wait, so they didn't, because they just had to escape?

00:46:12.300 Many of them, and he kept doing this until he finally got far enough away from the Roman army

00:46:16.740 battle. Khaled Ibn Walid was in command of where he didn't win. It was the first time he was ever

00:46:24.140 in command, and he was put in command after they had already lost. In circumstances that were

00:46:30.620 impossible to win. But they escaped. The Prophet Muhammad will eventually capture Mecca. And when

00:46:39.260 he does, he'll own the western part of Arabia and the very eastern part of Arabia, but not the rest

00:46:43.940 of it. And this is important because Arabia had never, ever, ever in its entire history up until

00:46:50.020 that moment, been ruled by a single political entity. The Arabians had never ruled Arabia.

00:46:57.840 The Persians had never ruled Arabia.

00:47:00.180 The Ethiopians had never ruled Arabia.

00:47:02.420 The Romans had never ruled Arabia.

00:47:04.260 At one point, the Ethiopians had kept...

00:47:06.300 Muslims were getting slaughtered and had to run.

00:47:08.440 They were losing bad.

00:47:09.140 That's what I just said.

00:47:09.740 I literally just wrote that.

00:47:11.140 I said, only battle Khalid ibn Waleed commanded that he didn't win, and they escaped.

00:47:15.360 They were outnumbered six to one, but they got out of there.

00:47:18.220 Peace of Arabia, Yemen.

00:47:21.260 And then, of course, the Persians have that chunk over there in the northeast,

00:47:25.140 and the Romans have that chunk in the northwest.

00:47:27.500 But no one had ever ruled all of Arabia as a single political entity.

00:47:32.580 The closest anybody had come, in fact, was the Prophet Muhammad.

00:47:35.820 When he died in 632, he had gotten such a big chunk, he probably had about 40% of Arabia.

00:47:43.240 Okay.

00:47:46.480 Muhammad, he dies 1632, closest to conquer Arabia.

00:47:57.500 with 40 percent he was replaced by a name guy named abu bak

00:48:05.580 abu bak didn't take the title king he didn't take the title emperor he took the abu bakar

00:48:11.420 if i'm not mistaken is that the father of uh asia father of

00:48:18.220 As-salamu alaykum, Sheikh Uthman also has many series on Masjid Ribbit Channel if interested.

00:48:27.500 Oh my God, yeah, yeah, cool, cool. You're right. Hold on.

00:48:28.860 Brother! His daughter, Aisha, yes.

00:48:31.840 So what people don't also talk about was the fact that, do you know Abu Bakr?

00:48:36.160 If you visit Medina, he's buried right next to the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:48:40.360 Their graves are side by side.

00:48:42.480 They were best for, Abu Bakr was Prophet Muhammad's best friend.

00:48:45.060 trusted advisor and he was the first male convert to islam outside the prophet's family

00:48:50.080 so they're they're basically they're so close to basically family and so they had a bond and

00:48:56.680 basically so abu bakar i think he passed away in battle oh no no he didn't buy that he was the

00:49:04.560 yeah he was uh okay he ruled for two yes

00:49:11.540 but yeah that's what it was a marriage at the time and even it is marriage today

00:49:19.360 look at trump marrying off ivanka to jared kushner that's a bond between two families judeo-christian

00:49:26.680 that's a bond that's it's a so this marriage is also a bond between the two because abu baka was

00:49:34.400 as close as you can get to being family title follower of the messenger of god

00:49:41.280 and became...

00:49:43.560 Bakr didn't take the title king.

00:49:45.980 He didn't take the title emperor.

00:49:47.900 He took the title follower of the messenger of God

00:49:52.300 and became the ruler of this Muslim-controlled chunk of Arabia.

00:49:59.580 He made two armies.

00:50:01.360 He sent one army from Yatrib due east,

00:50:05.380 and he sent the other army south to Yemen.

00:50:08.120 And his goal is to finally, once and for all,

00:50:10.180 conquer Arabia and rule it. And actually, he was ruling from Mecca at that point.

00:50:17.120 The guy he put in charge of his army that went east was Khaled ibn Walid. And Khaled will do a

00:50:23.860 series of battles against a heretic who was claiming to be the real prophet in an event

00:50:29.500 called the Rida Wars. And Khaled will win battle after battle after battle. And by 633, Arabia is

00:50:37.460 unified so the campaign started in 632 it took less than eight what happened to nick is he okay

00:50:43.160 oh my god this is really good informer i'm really loving this lecture it's fine it started slow but

00:50:48.260 it's getting good what happened to nick fuentes though i have to go to rumble

00:50:53.340 what happened hey what's going on everything's good okay it just got swatted i don't know we

00:51:02.540 have a whole new oh no i guess there's another wave of that i saw destiny got swatted the other

00:51:09.020 day uh i saw it happen to some other streamer we're dealing with this bullshit again but um

00:51:14.880 anyway i'm seeing this play out and everything and uh whatever it is what it is but um but

00:51:22.300 anyway so i think this is where things are headed with iran um or he's fine here and in part because

00:51:29.540 of Khaled's decisive victories in the center of

00:51:31.580 Arabia.

00:51:33.480 Arabia is unified.

00:51:36.480 And

00:51:36.920 by 633,

00:51:39.520 Arabia is unified.

00:51:41.340 So the campaign started in 632.

00:51:43.600 It took less than a year.

00:51:45.820 And in part because of Khaled's decisive

00:51:47.360 victories in the center of Arabia.

00:51:49.360 Former Christian turned Muslim because of you.

00:51:52.020 CK nigga Christ is king.

00:51:53.560 Cool, dude. Nice. Best of luck

00:51:55.720 this one. And I hope

00:51:57.540 your prayers go well.

00:51:59.540 At that point, there's argument amongst historians exactly what happened next.

00:52:04.980 Did Abu Bakr order Khaled to keep going, or did he tell Khaled to stop?

00:52:10.120 It's entirely possible either is true, he doesn't stop.

00:52:14.700 That's the important thing.

00:52:16.300 Whether he was told to stop or told to keep going, he doesn't stop.

00:52:19.460 And he goes towards the very southern tip of Iraq.

00:52:23.920 So see where it says, Sabur, he's headed in that direction.

00:52:27.480 he ends up fighting a battle in what is today kuwait it's called the battle of the chains

00:52:33.460 the persian general hormuz uh chains up his elite soldiers to show the the arabs that there is no

00:52:41.900 retreat that the persians will fight to the death because they've made it so they can't retreat

00:52:45.820 because they're chained together oh my god what army was that was up so because

00:52:52.040 This is some bad, bad butt stuff.

00:52:58.800 I'm trying not to curse.

00:53:00.320 Okay, Persians show themselves chained as a sign of no retreat.

00:53:08.440 That is some dramatic activity, man.

00:53:10.900 Khaled relied heavily on war back then was so, like the warrior spirit and war today is just drone strikes, nukes.

00:53:19.060 It's just, eh.

00:53:20.140 on cavalry it would be impossible to do a cavalry charge through them because there are chains

00:53:24.220 in between them so there's no way to get through with how they'd like to what what the way battles

00:53:30.380 went back then everybody did this the persians the romans everybody did this is they would send

00:53:34.540 champions to go fight each other before the battle but what the arabs like to do was first poetry

00:53:43.420 so they would get their best improv poet because they would improv they would improv right there

00:53:48.540 They didn't have a poem written in advance.

00:53:51.380 And they would get that poet to shout to the other army a poem.

00:53:55.560 And the belief was that if you shouted a good enough poem,

00:53:58.720 the other side should give you the field and walk away.

00:54:02.900 And of course, the Persians are like, screw you, we don't even speak Arabic.

00:54:05.360 We don't know what you're saying.

00:54:07.160 So after the Arab shouts this poetry at the Persians who are annoyed.

00:54:11.120 What type of poem?

00:54:13.480 Does anyone have an example of a poem that made an army retreat?

00:54:15.960 beat is it a diss track it's yeah probably like a diss track it's like the og diss tracks

00:54:22.440 they not like us they not like us they're like oh okay okay a freestyle off the dough yeah these

00:54:31.540 are the og rappers and if you got if your bars were hard enough the other army's out of there

00:54:37.700 walks out and says i'm like this is so funny but the persians were annoyed shouting a poem

00:54:44.600 Imagine how loud you got to be so the whole army hears it.

00:54:47.380 They not like us!

00:54:52.440 Khaled walks out and says, I'm my champion.

00:54:55.960 I'll fight the Persian champion.

00:54:58.240 That's a problem for the Persian general then.

00:55:00.800 Because if he doesn't go fight, it's general versus general.

00:55:04.020 If he doesn't make it general versus general, it makes him look like a coward.

00:55:06.100 Premodern warfare for the devil.

00:55:08.520 Right?

00:55:09.360 It's so much more...

00:55:11.920 I don't know what's the word.

00:55:14.060 Poetic yeah, so much more poetic bring the Persian champion

00:55:18.380 The Persians I was okay

00:55:20.560 Let me fight and they go out and they fight and so do you guys think?

00:55:24.920 I wonder is some of the Sunni Shia split because some of the Persians just didn't want to submit to the Arabs

00:55:30.140 So they want to have some differentiation or no? Khalid will lead kills them within like 30 seconds

00:55:35.820 It's a really quick fight. And so now the Persians are going to go into the battle without their general

00:55:41.860 And what Ghaled did was he just kept using his cavalry to do these charges against the Persians

00:55:45.900 that just kept them off balance, kept them off balance until finally he broke up their order.

00:55:49.980 And what they should have done was they should have repositioned

00:55:51.920 or they should have retreated a little bit and then repositioned.

00:55:54.520 But they can't because they're chained together.

00:55:56.680 And he swings his cavalry around the backside and starts harassing them and he tears them to pieces.

00:56:00.780 The estimate is that he brought 18,000 men against 20,000 Persians,

00:56:05.600 the same Persians who tore those Romans to pieces almost 700 years prior.

00:56:10.980 And he walked away with a couple hundred killed, and the Persians lost, and more killed or captured.

00:56:19.580 And then what he's going to do is he's going to work his way along the western bank of the Euphrates River,

00:56:24.560 and his goal is the city that's labeled as Herat there.

00:56:27.480 So now they're going to the south Euphrates, now they're going to Herat.

00:56:30.840 Then they go to Herat. Where's Herat? It's right here.

00:56:36.860 What is this?

00:56:39.500 This is a map that's too zoomed in for me to tell.

00:56:41.640 But this is like that fight scene.

00:56:42.880 So they're saying, bring the champion, bring your champion.

00:56:44.660 You ever seen Troy?

00:56:45.680 This is where that reminds me of.

00:56:48.460 This is Khaled Ibn Waleed.

00:56:50.920 Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity.

00:56:53.500 You see Troy?

00:56:54.220 I love this movie.

00:56:55.100 Didn't get good ratings, but this is a good example of a movie that will never be made again because of AI.

00:56:59.740 Oh, Herod is a rock.

00:57:02.440 Thank you.

00:57:03.620 This movie will never be made again because...

00:57:05.820 well made this way like all these extras are real they're not going to do that anymore

00:57:10.140 so here these are the greeks against the trojans and so instead of battle battling and losing all

00:57:20.580 their lives they bring out achilles remember everyone's movie we need him my king

00:57:25.260 for now those cloud chasers well you bro be done great film

00:57:35.320 Well, hold on, one more detour.

00:57:37.240 Stay on the lecture, but this fight scene.

00:57:41.820 Blood.

00:57:43.260 Back in blood.

00:57:44.680 All right, back here.

00:57:45.340 So that's, I like to imagine that's what these battles were like.

00:57:49.440 It was called Hira, or at least the Arabs called it Hira.

00:57:53.460 And he's heading towards Hira.

00:57:57.080 And he'll fight three more battles.

00:57:59.620 The river of Waladja, and I'm drawing Ulais.

00:58:04.480 in the river and one of the battles i don't remember which one i'm slightly embarrassed

00:58:10.080 but not really there's 50 battles dude i can't keep all this straight in my head

00:58:13.520 at one of the battles one of the persian generals is like screw this because chela kept going i'll

00:58:18.260 be your champion and he walks out now the persian general is stuck doing the same thing and the

00:58:22.280 first thing that happens in the opening moments of the battle is the persian general gets killed

00:58:25.560 and so this persian general goes okay i bet that bastard's going to do this again

00:58:30.600 So he buried a dozen Persian soldiers in the battlefield right where he thought the challenge would take place with straws so they could breathe through it.

00:58:39.900 He buried them in the night so that in the morning they would come out and do the challenge.

00:58:43.620 And then what was supposed to happen is once the challenge started, the 12 Persian soldiers would jump up and they just murder Khaled right there.

00:58:50.820 So Khaled walks out.

00:58:53.200 The Persian general walks out.

00:58:54.620 The 12 men jump up.

00:58:57.800 And one of Khaled's cousins was in the army.

00:59:00.140 the Muslim Arab army.

00:59:02.200 And he's like, that's not fair.

00:59:03.780 And he runs out and joins Khalid,

00:59:06.860 and the two men murder the 13 Persians.

00:59:11.820 And then they destroy the Persian army.

00:59:15.120 And he would use different tactics every time.

00:59:17.460 And one of the battles, what he did was he had,

00:59:19.440 he'd snuck two cavalry units behind a hill,

00:59:22.040 and the Persians were in between his men

00:59:25.060 on the other side of the hill and his army.

00:59:26.640 And he just kept slowly backing his army up

00:59:28.600 and making a circle, a half circle

00:59:30.680 out of it, so the Persians would kind of go into the

00:59:32.700 middle, and then he signaled his cavalry that

00:59:34.640 came riding over the hill, and they attacked the Persians from behind

00:59:36.620 completely surrounded, destroys them.

00:59:40.320 He captures

00:59:40.880 Hira, and then on the way,

00:59:43.160 so see where it says

00:59:43.880 Paraz Sabur?

00:59:46.460 That is Anbar, the city of

00:59:48.640 Anbar in Iraq today.

00:59:50.380 He's heading towards that place. That's

00:59:52.300 where he wants to go.

00:59:54.000 Real nigga shit, stop watching this shit.

00:59:56.720 Your content is irrelevant, fucking

00:59:58.620 How about?

00:59:59.440 Good boy.

01:00:00.060 Three battles, one after the other in succession.

01:00:04.200 And here's what he does.

01:00:06.380 So there were 60,000 Persian soldiers in three separate armies, 20,000 each.

01:00:13.040 And they're coming for him.

01:00:14.100 And by this point, he's down to 15,000 men.

01:00:17.080 Because even though he keeps winning, he's still taking losses.

01:00:19.880 So it's going to be four to one odds if he lets those three Persian armies merge together.

01:00:23.880 And he's thinking, I don't think I can beat 60,000 men with 15,000 men.

01:00:29.360 So if I'm going to win, I'm going to have to attack them piecemeal.

01:00:32.560 I'm going to have to hit each of the three Persian units before they get together.

01:00:36.780 So he races his army as fast as he can towards the first one.

01:00:40.720 But first.

01:00:42.040 Ramadan Mubarak, my brother.

01:00:43.920 I was praying when you called.

01:00:46.000 I'm excited for this Ramadan.

01:00:47.920 Oh, Warner, you figured out how to do TTS.

01:00:49.360 How are you doing, man?

01:00:50.040 I'm not like that.

01:00:51.120 It's not like Ramadan Mubarak.

01:00:52.240 did you see the do you see the demons come out right before ramadan that's what i was calling

01:00:56.620 you about bro it's it's just we already know this happens but that's what i love about my stream is

01:01:02.660 that you can literally see it you can see it live on stream what happens the army into three five

01:01:09.100 thousand man units and he and he tells them we're we're gonna arrive at 2 a.m and he gives them a

01:01:16.960 gate, like two weeks in advance. And he says, I need you at this location, at this time, on this

01:01:23.920 day. Go. And they take three different paths. And they're going to come at this Persian unit.

01:01:30.940 And he's guessing where he thinks that Persian unit will have arrived to by that point.

01:01:35.860 I challenge you. This is my challenge. Three of you, you and two of your best friends,

01:01:40.260 get into three separate cars

01:01:42.120 and you can use GPS

01:01:43.420 pick a spot somewhere

01:01:46.240 on the other side of the US because it needs to be

01:01:48.500 a long road trip, right, three days

01:01:50.180 I'm not even going to make it two weeks

01:01:52.040 just three days, so I don't care where you

01:01:54.500 want to go, Washington or the other Washington

01:01:56.520 either way, it will work out to be about the same

01:01:58.820 but make the three of you take three

01:02:00.480 separate paths and then time it

01:02:02.580 so that you arrive at the exact same moment

01:02:04.500 Warner, shout out to you

01:02:06.500 you said they are post-it

01:02:08.080 it's Ramadan, they are beep

01:02:10.020 I wish you slapped the beep out of them.

01:02:12.240 That would have been the best Eid gift.

01:02:14.300 Yeah, I was with the future governor of Florida.

01:02:17.020 I'm doing a stream for that.

01:02:19.080 Those are the type of people to sue you and file and press charge.

01:02:22.740 There's the perfect example of somebody who's going to try to sue you.

01:02:27.160 And I'm also doing a stream with James Fishback.

01:02:30.800 I'm not trying to make the whole thing and interrupt and waste his time.

01:02:35.340 First Ramadan is a revert.

01:02:37.680 Alhamdulillah, you're the reason I looked into Islam.

01:02:40.220 Wish me good luck.

01:02:41.460 Alhamdulillah. Good luck.

01:02:43.200 Bet you can't do it.

01:02:44.900 Now take away GPS and navigate at night,

01:02:49.740 trying to guess where you think the enemy army is going to be.

01:02:54.440 They're there.

01:02:55.880 When the three armies converge at the exact same moment,

01:02:59.620 they catch the Persians, sleep in their camp.

01:03:02.040 They tear them to pieces.

01:03:04.440 He's like, all right, one down, two to go.

01:03:06.020 he looks at his men and goes

01:03:07.820 this is where the Persian army

01:03:09.420 the next one's going to be

01:03:10.460 and he tells them

01:03:11.900 I want you there

01:03:12.880 this day

01:03:13.620 this time

01:03:14.420 go

01:03:15.080 three different ways

01:03:16.160 and the three units

01:03:17.500 charge as fast as they can

01:03:19.160 and they get there

01:03:20.600 and the Persian army is there

01:03:22.500 and he destroys that one too

01:03:24.560 oh my

01:03:25.200 that's such a smart strategy

01:03:26.720 so

01:03:27.680 Khalid ibn Walid

01:03:29.100 he only had 15k soldiers

01:03:30.960 and he didn't want to be caught

01:03:33.200 because he was outnumbered

01:03:34.140 so he divided

01:03:35.100 Divided his army in three

01:03:37.800 And told them

01:03:41.140 Meet

01:03:42.520 Target point

01:03:45.160 Repeats

01:03:51.720 Three

01:03:53.500 Division

01:03:55.380 Meet point

01:03:58.140 Strategy

01:03:59.180 Tells his men

01:04:03.200 Alright we got one more

01:04:04.020 one more uh what did nick say oh i said nick's talking about me

01:04:11.540 do i have addd and then he literally corrected himself he's like i mean you know like what's

01:04:21.980 going on but he he caught himself because even that was too stupid for his show but that was

01:04:28.240 literally the question he asked me we're gonna do this conversation about porn oh no okay

01:04:33.960 and

01:04:36.680 go

01:04:38.180 and they arrive at the right time

01:04:41.720 on the right day

01:04:42.940 in the spot where the Persians were

01:04:44.940 at night and they wiped up

01:04:47.420 the third 20,000 man unit

01:04:49.120 with almost no losses

01:04:50.520 they dispatched 60,000 men

01:04:53.000 in a maneuver that I bet a contemporary

01:04:55.220 military force would never

01:04:57.400 be able to execute

01:04:58.560 do you guys eat before sunrise prayer

01:05:01.280 if so what time to

01:05:03.400 What time?

01:05:04.100 I don't know what time,

01:05:05.020 but you have to Google

01:05:05.740 what time is sunrise in your location.

01:05:07.680 And so you just eat a bunch.

01:05:09.520 Eat a bunch.

01:05:10.120 It's probably around 5, 6 a.m.

01:05:11.240 And then you got to make sure

01:05:12.540 that you're going to be good.

01:05:13.320 You're hydrated enough

01:05:14.140 so that you can sustain all day long

01:05:15.920 until like 7.

01:05:16.960 Oh, I interrupted you.

01:05:17.580 I would never have a thousand men

01:05:19.040 in a maneuver

01:05:19.880 that I bet a contemporary military force

01:05:22.340 would never be able to execute,

01:05:24.820 let alone three times in a row.

01:05:29.560 Insane.

01:05:30.500 It shouldn't be doable.

01:05:33.000 He gets to where it says Dura.

01:05:36.980 That's the city of Firaz.

01:05:40.360 Firaz was the border between the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire.

01:05:44.600 The Persians and the Romans hated each other's guts.

01:05:48.100 They had been fighting each other.

01:05:51.560 628 plus 52, right?

01:05:54.840 It was 53 BC, the Battle of Kahe, but there's no year zero, so you have to subtract one.

01:06:00.020 That's why I'm doing 52.

01:06:01.660 So what is 28 plus 52?

01:06:03.520 80.

01:06:04.340 For 680 years, the Romans and the Persians had been fighting each other.

01:06:10.220 Can you comprehend 680 years of war?

01:06:12.880 Like, I don't even know what that means.

01:06:14.900 What does that even mean?

01:06:17.020 By the time Khalid ibn Awali gets to Firaz, the Persians and the Romans looked at each

01:06:22.580 other and went, you are no longer the enemy.

01:06:25.000 We have a new enemy.

01:06:26.040 I don't know where these guys even came from.

01:06:28.060 Because you have to remember, at this point in time, the Persians had been an empire for 1,200 years.

01:06:39.020 And the Romans had officially been an empire, calling themselves an empire, for 600 years.

01:06:44.580 But they had been imperial for the 300 before that.

01:06:48.280 Because even before Rome was an empire, it owned Spain, it owned North Africa, it owned Syria, it owned Turkey, it owned Greece.

01:06:56.200 Right?

01:06:56.500 And so you have 900 years of imperial history for the Romans and 1,200 years of imperial history for the Persians.

01:07:04.700 There's 21 centuries between those two empires.

01:07:08.960 And they're also technologically the most advanced civilizations on earth.

01:07:12.760 And they had massive populations compared to the Arabs.

01:07:15.580 They're down because of malaria.

01:07:17.480 But the Arabs don't have any rivers.

01:07:20.400 They don't have the agricultural capacity to support large populations.

01:07:23.760 The Arabs are outnumbered.

01:07:25.680 As an Orthodox Christian, wishing you best luck and happy Ramadan, brother Goiz Unite.

01:07:30.200 Goiz Unite.

01:07:30.940 Happy Lent, Brandon.

01:07:31.640 I appreciate that, Jake.

01:07:32.920 Shout out to all the Christians, and I hope it's a successful time for you.

01:07:35.740 God bless you.

01:07:36.540 Out-moneyed.

01:07:38.120 They're out-experienced.

01:07:39.820 They're out-equipped.

01:07:42.360 And Khaled, in one year, has captured Iraq.

01:07:45.760 Our military was there for eight years.

01:07:47.600 We didn't capture anything.

01:07:49.720 We captured IEDs in the face.

01:07:56.600 So the Persians go to the Romans, they're like,

01:07:58.620 okay, we're going to fight this one as allies, right?

01:08:00.520 And the Romans are like, yes, yeah, we're good.

01:08:03.120 Because in the meantime, an Arab army has attacked from this side

01:08:06.340 and is trying to get to Jerusalem.

01:08:08.800 And so the Romans know that the Arabs...

01:08:11.000 Who's trying to go to Jerusalem, the Muslims?

01:08:12.140 The side, yes.

01:08:13.520 Yeah, we're good.

01:08:14.540 Because in the meantime, an Arab army has attacked from this side

01:08:17.680 and is trying to get to Jerusalem.

01:08:20.280 And so the Romans know that the Arabs...

01:08:23.460 You're outnumbered.

01:08:24.360 you're out technology you're out money and you're facing two empires do you attack both at the same

01:08:30.900 time that makes no sense but it's exactly what the arabs did oh my god they attacked the two

01:08:37.920 oldest most powerful empires at the same time even though they were outnumbered by one let alone

01:08:44.680 both and so the romans are like yeah yeah we'll work with you so at filaz the combined roman and

01:08:52.700 Persian armies, which, by the way, was largely made up of Christian Arabs. Not completely,

01:08:58.040 but there was a huge contingent, probably about 50,000 Christian Arabs. The combined Persian

01:09:02.340 and Roman army was 150,000 men against 15,000 Muslim Arabs. So Khaled arrives. Khaled is on

01:09:15.820 the east bank of the Euphrates. The Persians and the Romans are on the west bank. There's a ford

01:09:20.780 and a bridge which is convenient if you're moving an army it's nice and so Khaled is on the Khaled

01:09:28.220 needs the Persians and the Romans to cross the river to fight so he very politely backs his army

01:09:34.380 up from the bridge in the ford and split it into three 5,000 man units like that and he put one

01:09:41.980 up river one down river and then pulled the other one away from the river and he just waited so the

01:09:48.940 the Persians and Romans start to cross the bridge and they're also crossing the

01:09:52.000 Ford at the same time. And he waits and he waits and he waits. And then he does a

01:09:58.260 prayer as he's waiting. And he says, God, if you give me this victory, I will go to

01:10:04.520 Mecca and I will do the Hajj. I know I'm going to die. I know there's no way we're

01:10:10.740 going to defeat 150,000 men today. But that's what I will do. I'll run and I'll

01:10:15.520 do the hajj. And I'm actually happy that I get to die as a warrior here today. When 50,000 Persians

01:10:24.520 and Romans had crossed the Euphrates, he blew a horn. The men that were up and downriver attacked

01:10:30.640 them by going along the riverbank and tried to then merge at the bridge and the ford so that

01:10:36.720 they would cut the guys who had crossed off from the guys on the other side. Then what Khaled did

01:10:43.020 was he took the 5,000 men who against 50,000 and he has them charge into him and he had his men as

01:10:49.380 thin as possible and then he backs his men up and then he charges again and then he backs his men

01:10:54.760 up and he charges again and every time his horses go in to those men it compressed them a little bit

01:11:00.700 it compressed them a little bit more so after a while the persians and romans are so compressed

01:11:05.460 they can't move their arms they can't swing their weapons he's just compacted them together

01:11:09.840 and they realize what he's done to them

01:11:12.380 and they panic and they

01:11:14.380 turn around to run back

01:11:16.360 to the river to cross it.

01:11:17.940 50,000 men turning all at once

01:11:20.420 to stampede.

01:11:22.660 You could hear the bones breaking.

01:11:27.180 And then the Muslim Arabs

01:11:28.500 just went in and started killing them as they were running.

01:11:31.860 By the time

01:11:32.680 the battle was done,

01:11:33.420 you could hear the bones breaking

01:11:36.060 all at once to stampede

01:11:38.180 to cross it. 50,000

01:11:40.420 men turning all at once

01:11:42.180 to stampede.

01:11:44.420 You could hear the bones breaking.

01:11:48.940 And then the Muslim Arabs

01:11:50.280 just went in and started killing them as they were running.

01:11:52.620 What does that mean by stampede?

01:12:03.080 Okay.

01:12:05.720 Run over.

01:12:06.940 Oh, with horses?

01:12:09.140 oh muslims with horses

01:12:22.020 horse and foot but how many men stampede the 50k men okay man as they're retreating

01:12:38.180 by the time the battle was done

01:12:51.260 1,000 men turning all at once to stampede

01:12:55.360 you could hear the bones breaking

01:12:58.440 and then the Muslim Arabs just went in

01:13:02.980 and started killing them as they were running

01:13:04.220 by the time the battle was done

01:13:07.900 200 Muslim Arabs were dead.

01:13:10.040 Okay, so the other army, Persians, tried to stampede.

01:13:21.800 50K soldiers slaughtered as they were shooting.

01:13:31.940 50,000

01:13:37.700 Persians and Romans were dead

01:13:39.020 what is this

01:13:45.700 God's like okay I'm alive that's a surprise

01:13:52.020 and so what he does is he orders his men back to Hiram

01:13:55.880 they trampled themselves

01:13:57.060 dead

01:13:59.840 by the time the battle was done

01:14:02.740 200 Muslim Arabs were dead

01:14:04.940 50,000 Persians and Romans

01:14:07.120 were dead

01:14:07.620 what is this?

01:14:15.220 God's like okay I'm alive that's a surprise

01:14:17.060 and so what he does is he orders his men

01:14:19.200 back to Hira

01:14:19.700 so what he does is he says okay

01:14:21.520 I need to arrive at Hira

01:14:24.240 I need to show up at the front of my army

01:14:26.020 but I've got to now go to Mecca to do this hajj

01:14:28.020 so he takes his fastest horses and his best men

01:14:29.760 and they race

01:14:30.780 across the desert

01:14:31.460 as fast as they can

01:14:32.200 they get to Metta

01:14:33.060 he puts on a hood

01:14:34.400 so that nobody

01:14:34.960 will see his face

01:14:35.620 he quickly does the hodge

01:14:36.540 he jumps back on the horse

01:14:37.300 and he rides as fast as he can

01:14:38.480 he gets to the front of his army

01:14:39.500 just as it's arriving

01:14:40.200 at Hira

01:14:40.720 and he assumes the position

01:14:42.040 as if he was there

01:14:42.500 the whole time

01:14:42.960 and he marches his men

01:14:43.720 into the city

01:14:44.180 what the hell?

01:14:53.240 close up

01:14:54.040 undercover

01:14:55.140 goes back

01:14:58.840 to

01:14:59.160 to Hajj

01:15:01.120 and then goes right back to war.

01:15:09.120 And a few days later, a messenger arrives from Mecca

01:15:11.340 sent by Abu Bakr, the caliph.

01:15:13.740 And it said, you were spotted in Mecca.

01:15:15.340 Don't do that again.

01:15:18.140 Abu Bakr then orders him

01:15:19.400 to invade Syria. So he's going to basically

01:15:21.200 miss Dura. He's going to go south of Dura and he's heading towards Damascus.

01:15:23.820 Wait, so they said don't even go back to

01:15:25.440 Abu Bakr

01:15:27.200 got mad at him?

01:15:29.160 Abubakar got word, went to Mecca for Hajj, said, don't do, why was, because he left the army?

01:15:45.800 Yeah, there's a little quick little Hajj, quick little Hajj back and forth.

01:15:49.160 And it said, you were spotted in Mecca, don't do that again.

01:15:53.720 Abubakar then orders him to invade Syria.

01:15:55.740 So he's going to basically miss Dura, he's going to go south of Dura, and he's heading towards Damascus.

01:15:59.160 that's his goal is to capture Damascus because the Muslim Arabs are thinking

01:16:02.860 if they capture Damascus they'll get Jerusalem in the aftermath because the

01:16:05.560 Romans will be there'll be an Arab army north of the Roman army and they won't

01:16:08.420 be able to maintain the supply lines so they'll just simply retreat and that's

01:16:11.020 how they capture Jerusalem. Khalid takes his men across this really nasty chunk

01:16:14.820 of desert in a logistical feat that would be hard to replicate with a

01:16:19.360 contemporary army today. He just takes his men through a spot that has no water

01:16:22.740 and no food and he gets them across they show up in Syria they come up to

01:16:26.080 Damascus and he captures the city. At that point, Emperor Heraclius is tearing his hair out trying

01:16:31.720 to figure out what to do because all of this is a shock and a surprise. Nobody ever thought the

01:16:36.620 Arabs were a threat. Where is this even coming from? So Heraclius goes to Antioch, which is on

01:16:42.820 that map as Antiocheia, but it's Antioch, and they have renamed it Theopolis, which is the city of

01:16:49.940 God. And he shows up and he's hunkered down in there and he gets together his generals and he

01:16:55.640 decides to launch a counter-attack.

01:16:58.120 And what Heraclius' idea is

01:16:59.840 you send four Roman

01:17:01.840 armies and you catch the four

01:17:03.500 Muslim Arab armies in four separate

01:17:05.700 locations and you take them out piecemeal.

01:17:08.120 Heraclius does not want to ever

01:17:09.880 have a situation where he's bringing all four of his armies

01:17:23.760 together because he doesn't have the economy to support having that many men in one location

01:17:27.000 there's just too few people the infrastructure has fallen apart word reaches that the Muslims

01:17:33.700 that there are these four armies now coming towards them the commander of the four armies

01:17:39.560 is a guy named Ubaidah Abu Ubaidah Abu Ubaidah was told that he was in command and Khalid was

01:17:47.660 relieved of command he could still be a general but he would not be the guy in charge and the

01:17:53.020 reason is, is because the new Caliph, Abu Bakr, only lived two years as Caliph. He's

01:17:56.500 dead. He's replaced by a guy named Omar ibn al-Khattab. The new Caliph is Khalid's first

01:18:01.620 cousin, and he doesn't trust Khalid. He thinks Khalid...

01:18:05.400 All four armies delegated to just commander. I don't know if the word was commander. Delegated

01:18:16.400 So, there's commander, new caliph, there's Omar, his cousin.

01:18:29.560 Omar doesn't trust him.

01:18:33.460 Isn't it Omar?

01:18:36.180 So, the third, yeah, third caliph.

01:18:42.040 Or no, the third caliph is Uthman.

01:18:44.180 The second caliph is Umar ibn Akhatab.

01:19:14.180 out what to do they decide to hold a conference and then what they do is they ask an interesting

01:19:18.500 what do you guys think out what is he doing what people idolize what's going on

01:19:24.660 what's not true that's false he did not chose highly but umar did

01:19:31.300 oh he did chose to highly but umar did this is to show allah we send it how islam became

01:19:36.820 a world religion by epic history inshallah you react to it okay i'll put it in the discord

01:19:41.540 he didn't demote because he didn't trust him but that's what he said that's what the professor said

01:19:46.420 no but it's not because of that but that's like another reason i'm not saying that's why

01:19:51.700 that's just what the professor said question abu raida does the commander okay the question he

01:19:56.960 asks is would you guys rather have halid in charge or me and everybody looks at looks at him like

01:20:03.400 you know i feel guilty saying this but yeah and he goes me too i would like to propose that we

01:20:09.980 promote Khaled to being in command unofficially because I'll be officially in command. But

01:20:15.140 unofficially, he'll be in charge. And everybody votes yes. And so he takes command of the army,

01:20:19.960 even though he can't because he's been demoted. And he comes up with a plan. And the plan is

01:20:25.960 to head back a little ways towards Damascus to get away from the Hassanids to a spot where the

01:20:31.420 Muslim army... I don't know how I should do this. Should I aim myself like this? It's weird talking

01:20:35.080 with my back. I'll do it this way. So on the south end of the Muslim army is this giant ravine.

01:20:39.980 and then there's a plateau it's called the plain of Yarmouk and the ravine is

01:20:44.960 the ravine of Yarmouk and then across from the ravine is another ravine so you

01:20:49.600 can't really use them as an army because you'd be falling off a cliff to go into

01:20:52.820 them they're really steep so he's got his left flank his southern flank covered

01:20:56.720 by this ravine and they just wait which now forces because now all four of the

01:21:01.140 Arab armies are in one location it forces the Romans to bring their armies

01:21:04.300 together which they didn't want to do the commander of the Roman army is an

01:21:07.680 Armenian named Vahan.

01:21:10.120 But a huge chunk of this Roman army, probably about a quarter

01:21:12.420 of it, was actually made up of Arabs, Christian Arabs.

01:21:14.920 So this is going to be an Arab versus Arab fight

01:21:16.840 at some core level.

01:21:19.020 Vahan brings his army up, and he puts it

01:21:21.900 in between the second ravine in the west and the Muslim army.

01:21:26.280 On day one, he does a really light, gentle probing attack

01:21:29.760 just to try to figure out what he's up against,

01:21:32.060 how the Arabs are going to respond to his attack.

01:21:34.020 He's just going up and touching to figure out

01:21:36.880 going on uh the arabs feel the pressure because they're outnumbered again now this isn't your

01:21:42.240 ass level outnumbered but it's still bad we don't know the exact numbers but it's probably in the

01:21:47.040 ballpark that there were 120 000 romans and about 40 000 muslim arabs so the muslim arabs are

01:21:53.440 outnumbered by about three to one dude just seems autistic you verify notes yeah it's a professor

01:22:01.360 not everything is fact this is why it's good to watch different professors and take different

01:22:05.120 information in bro you can't verify but this is his interpretation

01:22:14.160 checking things out because he knows these muslim arrows are good fighters he doesn't

01:22:16.800 want to do anything risky on day one the sun goes down they disengage a few hundred people

01:22:21.120 are wounded or killed it's not heavy casualties on day two vahan decides he's going to have the

01:22:28.000 roman left flank and the roman right flank hit the muslim army as hard as it can because he

01:22:33.520 he figures he's got the numerical advantage hit them as hard as you can so he orders that

01:22:37.280 the muslim commander on the left is a guy named yazid and the muslim commander on the right is

01:22:42.500 a guy named amr ibn al-as and abu ubaida is in the middle the guy who's supposed to be in charge

01:22:48.520 and then khalid's in the back controlling everything and the weight of the roman army

01:22:53.760 is so overwhelming both muslim flanks are collapsing and they're in full retreat and

01:23:00.480 in the north, on the

01:23:02.820 Muslim right flank, the women

01:23:04.600 so, it's worth pointing something out that's

01:23:06.840 actually really interesting. Women have always

01:23:08.980 been an integral part of warfare

01:23:11.080 in all times.

01:23:13.420 We pretend like we've just recently let

01:23:14.940 women in the military. The Persians had an

01:23:16.880 all-woman archer division.

01:23:19.780 The stories about the

01:23:20.940 Amazons, that wasn't made up.

01:23:23.580 That mythology was based on a real

01:23:24.880 event. A rogue

01:23:26.780 archer division of women, we don't know

01:23:28.940 why, decided to go on a tear and attacked a bunch of Greek city-states on the Aegean Sea

01:23:33.540 and burnt their temples and set their shit on fire. I cussed. I said I wouldn't. And they

01:23:39.080 deserved it, just for the record. And then the Greeks were so traumatized by this, they were

01:23:43.880 like, we were attacked by Amazons. And they were. And it really did happen. Isn't that cool?

01:23:50.180 I think it's cool. Usually, women were support staff. They weren't in direct combat roles.

01:23:57.320 Notice I didn't say it always, I said usually.

01:23:59.780 For example, the Vikings fielded women.

01:24:01.720 The Persians, the Vikings, the Armenians fielded women.

01:24:04.120 The Romans did not ever field women.

01:24:06.340 They were against it.

01:24:06.820 In modern education, they always have to feminist it up, huh?

01:24:09.740 But women still played a support role in Roman legions.

01:24:13.840 And the Arabs were the same.

01:24:14.860 They did have some women warriors, by the way, just so we're clear.

01:24:18.260 But for the most part, there were very few women who participated directly in battle.

01:24:21.580 In any case, the women on Amr ibn al-Assad's side pull down the tents, grab the posts, and charge the men who are retreating.

01:24:32.200 And they shout at them, you've shamed your wives.

01:24:36.720 And now you have a choice.

01:24:38.360 You can be killed by your wives, or you can be killed by the Romans.

01:24:43.420 Bahan's blown away. He can't believe that he attacked an army.

01:24:47.260 None of you, they're not taking any notes.

01:24:49.260 Well, I'm writing a fucking, oh, sorry.

01:24:52.480 I'm writing a whole essay right here.

01:24:55.560 A whole, I wrote four pages.

01:24:58.460 They're just sitting there cross-armed.

01:24:59.840 There's not even a desk out.

01:25:02.680 The size, they broke it.

01:25:04.540 It rallied and pushed them back.

01:25:06.680 But he thinks, I've got it.

01:25:07.980 I've killed enough of them.

01:25:09.040 This was a bloody enough affair.

01:25:10.420 I can probably break them the next day.

01:25:12.000 So the next day, which is really day three at this point,

01:25:15.220 he decides to focus everything he's got

01:25:17.200 on the Muslim right flank.

01:25:18.780 So he's going to ignore half the Muslim army.

01:25:20.900 He takes everything and he smashes it in.

01:25:22.760 And sure enough, the Muslims are being pushed back.

01:25:25.000 And the women take the tent post back and are holding a line against their own men.

01:25:30.060 And the Arab men turn around and re-engage.

01:25:32.120 And they stabilize the situation.

01:25:33.520 Khaled brings his cavalry units around.

01:25:35.260 And he smashes into the Roman flanks that are attacking.

01:25:37.980 And they slowly push the Romans back.

01:25:39.900 And day three ends right where it began.

01:25:42.960 Vaughan is now really upset because he can't comprehend how he's not moving this Arab army.

01:25:47.560 but he thinks okay i think we're still in this so day four he decides to do the same thing push

01:25:52.740 that same muslim right flank just hit him as hard as you can with everything you've got

01:25:56.380 and the halid this time had assumed this was going to happen so what he had done is he had

01:26:00.980 redeployed his cavalry so that it would be able to respond more quickly and he manages to stabilize

01:26:05.300 the flank even though it does start to collapse they do start to fall back and they manage to

01:26:08.680 push the romans back and they stop day four right where they started day five vahan sends a guy to

01:26:15.100 talk. And he's ready to come up with a compromise. Like, maybe you get Jerusalem and we keep

01:26:20.880 Damascus, something like that. Khaled goes, oh, the Romans only talk when they're losing.

01:26:26.740 Okay, I'm going to refuse to talk. Day six, he took all his cavalry. It was about 8,000 men.

01:26:33.420 Out of his 40,000 men, about 8,000 were cavalry. And he put all of them on his right flank.

01:26:38.140 When the sun came up, he swung it around. So now the Romans are trapped between his army and the

01:26:43.480 two ravines there was a bridge over the western ravine during the night he had sent 500 cavalry

01:26:48.680 around through the plain they had snuck down into the ravine and they captured the bridge

01:26:53.540 and his goal is to get the romans to run towards the bridge because there's nowhere to go because

01:26:57.380 muslims actually have the bridge just the romans don't know and he comes swinging over the top and

01:27:01.620 he smashes the roman left flank really hard he breaks the roman cavalry unit that was there and

01:27:06.460 he breaks the roman army that was there it's the cavalry unit and the army start to retreat they're

01:27:10.260 running in two other Roman units, sending them into disarray.

01:27:14.260 And then the Romans try to respond with heavy cavalry.

01:27:16.440 Vahan sees what's happening.

01:27:17.500 He organizes cavalry.

01:27:18.720 He draws it in, but it's heavy cavalry and it's slow.

01:27:21.600 Khaled comes in with his light cavalry and attacks them before they can get into formation,

01:27:24.880 destroys them.

01:27:25.720 Then he takes his cavalry and he slams it into the back of the Roman army.

01:27:28.060 It breaks and goes into full retreat.

01:27:30.520 And that's how he took 40,000 men against 120,000 men at Yarmouk and destroyed them.

01:27:35.020 Vahan got away with a cavalry detachment.

01:27:38.580 Khaled grabbed his fastest horses and his best men,

01:27:40.600 and they took off and they chased General Vahan.

01:27:42.820 And they caught up with him just outside of Damascus.

01:27:46.620 And Khaled lets his men tear up Vahan's men

01:27:50.060 until the only man standing is Vahan.

01:27:53.080 And Khaled had told his men, don't touch him.

01:27:55.320 And then he comes up to Vahan and he says,

01:27:57.060 you are a man, a man's man.

01:27:59.560 And so I'm going to give you a man's death.

01:28:01.760 And they duel one-on-one, and he kills Vahan.

01:28:04.480 and then oh my god bro

01:28:08.400 you are a man i'm going to give you a man's death oh my oh my god

01:28:23.860 Here we go, 1v1's him, and that sounds like some top G activity.

01:28:36.860 Stole that shit.

01:28:37.860 Khaled goes and recaptures Damascus.

01:28:40.860 Emperor Heraclius holds a council, and he asks his remaining generals, what should we

01:28:48.860 do?

01:28:49.860 And the generals tell him, we've lost Syria.

01:28:51.620 It's done.

01:28:52.160 There's nothing we can do about it.

01:28:53.960 And so Heraklius gets on a ship and he says, farewell, Syria.

01:28:57.400 You have been a lovely province.

01:28:58.460 Any Persian diaspora begging for war should enlist U.S. Army and do the bombing of civilians.

01:29:07.140 Yeah, it really pissed me off seeing people begging the U.S.

01:29:11.060 It's the same thing like during Venezuela.

01:29:12.640 You see all these Venezuelans begging Trump to go fight.

01:29:14.900 I'm just tired of fighting other third world.

01:29:17.400 Not third world, just fighting random wars.

01:29:19.860 we can do about it. And the generals tell him, we've lost Syria, it's done. There's nothing we

01:29:25.180 can do about it. And so Heraclius gets on a ship and he says, farewell Syria, you have been a lovely

01:29:30.700 province, and now you will be a lovely province for the Arabs. And he withdraws. And that was the

01:29:36.520 last time, second to last time, there was a Roman army in Syria. They'll get in one more time, but

01:29:40.360 they don't really keep it for long. Khaled and his army now return to Jerusalem, which on this

01:29:47.020 map is hero sulima in case you were wondering and when they get there um the romans have

01:29:54.940 it's crazy he's doing all this in like what is this like two years largely abandoned the roman

01:30:00.220 military has but there's enough people manning the walls that you can't get in so they are already

01:30:07.180 stuck outside trying to figure out how to get inside so they can capture this holy city

01:30:11.020 and now the highlight of today is dj khaled bro he's disrespecting his own name imagine being

01:30:21.480 named after one of the greatest warriors of all time who demolished the persian and the roman

01:30:27.360 empire simultaneously and now you get we the best zionists we the best bootlicker

01:30:36.640 can't even say a word about his own people

01:30:41.080 Khalid

01:30:42.840 at the time of the prophet

01:30:45.180 peace be upon him was conquering

01:30:47.620 Syria

01:30:49.280 Iraq

01:30:50.620 going to Jerusalem

01:30:51.860 making the Romans panic and shiver

01:30:55.420 with the Persians

01:30:57.460 simultaneously fighting the Christian

01:30:59.540 Arabs

01:31:00.100 that name has so much aura and DJ Khalid just

01:31:05.220 threw it away

01:31:06.120 threw it away we the best goyim we the best goyim

01:31:13.740 the archbishop of jerusalem a man named sophronius by the way a christian era a loyal roman citizen

01:31:22.740 indicates he's willing to negotiate but only with omar abnal kattab after dj khalid finished

01:31:29.880 sucking off netanyahu he went another say that as a persian muslim ramadan kareem but

01:31:35.460 the chick dish for beach uh glm after dj khalid finished sucking off ehud barak he goes another

01:31:42.640 one the chalif well the chalif is all the way back in mecca it'll be weeks before he can be sent for

01:31:48.980 and then return so they come up with a scheme and the scheme is i'll play last of us after

01:31:54.260 since chalid is omar ibn al-khatav's first cousin he actually looks like him so they pretend

01:32:00.500 Khalid Ibn Walid is the caliph. They meet with Sofronius and while they're talking, somebody

01:32:06.320 had actually met Omar Ibn al-Khatab, I'm sorry, had met Khalid Ibn Walid and knew that was

01:32:11.580 Khalid. And so he tells Sofronius, you're being duped, it's not really the caliph, it's some

01:32:16.240 other dude, it's that general that's been tearing us up. Sofronius is outraged, he goes

01:32:20.180 you lied to me and he calls off the negotiations for the surrender. So now the Arabs are stuck

01:32:24.940 getting the caliph.

01:32:28.480 So Fronius comes out of the gates weeks later

01:32:30.860 to meet the caliph because he sees the caliph's army arrive.

01:32:34.300 And as he's approaching,

01:32:35.980 he sees a man leading a camel at the front of the army.

01:32:40.060 So for the record, the rich Arabs,

01:32:42.480 the Arabs who were good soldiers,

01:32:44.100 didn't usually ride camels.

01:32:45.240 They usually rode horses, Arabians.

01:32:48.200 And for those of you who don't know,

01:32:49.080 Arabians are fast and agile,

01:32:50.600 and they have crazy personality.

01:32:52.740 And so they're perfect for warfare.

01:32:54.880 Camels are a little bit clumsy and slow.

01:32:56.900 They serve a purpose in warfare, but you're better off on an Arabian.

01:33:00.520 In any case, the Arab army is being led by a man leading a camel with a man on the camel.

01:33:06.220 So Sophronius, he's got a giant red hat.

01:33:08.960 He's also a cardinal, right?

01:33:10.160 He's got gold tassels, actual gold, hanging from his hat.

01:33:13.840 He's covered in gold jewelry.

01:33:15.300 He's wearing red robes.

01:33:16.480 He's covered in perfume.

01:33:17.620 He's on a lectica.

01:33:18.700 The lectica was the couch that the Romans would ride, and then they'd have like four or eight men,

01:33:22.260 depending on how big it is, carrying it.

01:33:23.520 And then he has two men, one on each side, fanning him.

01:33:25.960 Of course, right?

01:33:27.040 That's what Jesus would want from his bishops.

01:33:29.160 That's exactly right.

01:33:30.620 And he's coming out on this lectica being fanned.

01:33:33.820 And he comes up to the guy on the camel, and he says, where is the chalif?

01:33:39.160 And the guy on the camel does like this.

01:33:40.960 He nods with his head at the guy leading the camel.

01:33:42.900 So Sophonius turns to the guy leading the camel and goes, where's the chalif?

01:33:45.420 And the guy leading the camel says, I'm the chalif.

01:33:48.040 And Sophonius goes, dude, you're dressed in rags.

01:33:49.840 the guy's pants were mended multiple times his shirt was mended multiple times

01:33:54.600 and he goes no no i'm the chalif and siphonius goes you've just conquered iraq and syria and

01:33:59.820 all of palestine minus jerusalem how is it you're so poor and the chalif goes well why would i

01:34:06.300 collect wealth we're not doing this war because i'm trying to plunder anything facts i'm a humble

01:34:10.660 facts and you know what's so funny about this is because the christians the romans were a christian

01:34:15.800 and they worship jesus but the reason the jews rejected jesus was because jesus was approached

01:34:21.520 and dressed in simple robes and they the jews thought wait the messiah is going to be dressed

01:34:27.320 in gold so they rejected him and he's like wait no no i don't need to be wearing gold and wearing

01:34:33.160 a cartier iced out watch and have a chain and be filming in the club i could just wear these clothes

01:34:38.460 and they said no no no we need a rich messiah and here we go the romans are approached and they see

01:34:44.080 caliph, the Muslim leader,

01:34:46.500 dressed in rags, and they

01:34:48.420 fall victim to the same arrogance.

01:34:51.580 A man with

01:34:52.300 humble needs. I just need good meal.

01:34:54.900 And then Siphonius goes,

01:34:56.080 why aren't you riding the camel? And

01:34:58.000 Omar goes, that's my servant on the camel.

01:35:00.500 And we take turns so that neither one of us gets exhausted.

01:35:03.320 At this point, Siphonius

01:35:04.380 is like, who just conquered us?

01:35:06.520 What, are these Marxists?

01:35:08.720 And so Siphonius gets off the

01:35:10.360 lectica, because he's

01:35:12.300 shamed off of a thing. And he says, okay, I want to talk to you about our surrendering the city to

01:35:18.600 you. And the caliph says, I have an idea. Let's walk to the city, and I'll tell you what I was

01:35:26.080 thinking the terms would be. And then, so we'll start there. And Sifonis goes, yes, of course.

01:35:32.520 And as they're walking, Omar ibn al-Khatab says, why don't we do this? All Roman politicians

01:35:39.220 leave

01:35:40.960 Jerusalem. You just go

01:35:42.920 if you're a Polish.

01:35:45.000 So if you're a top bureaucrat,

01:35:47.020 an officer, and you can take

01:35:49.200 anything you can carry.

01:35:50.900 So you can take gold, as long as

01:35:53.220 you can carry it.

01:35:55.580 And Sophonius goes, okay.

01:35:56.920 I mean, that's reasonable. That's actually more

01:35:59.200 than reasonable. I just assumed you'd enslave them and take their gold.

01:36:02.220 I don't see how

01:36:03.160 anybody would be mad about that.

01:36:04.760 And then what else?

01:36:06.220 And the chalef goes, oh no, I was thinking that's it.

01:36:08.080 we don't do anything else.

01:36:10.560 And Sophonius goes, wait a minute, I am really confused.

01:36:13.300 So when us Romans capture a city,

01:36:15.420 we enslave a segment,

01:36:17.040 we plunder the city,

01:36:18.680 probably a little bit too much raping too,

01:36:20.860 we might even burn some of it, just for grins and giggles,

01:36:23.420 and then we declare it to be ours.

01:36:25.300 Israeli.

01:36:26.200 What about that?

01:36:27.700 And Roman Ibn al-Khattab goes, no, no, no, we're not going to do any of that.

01:36:30.180 No plundering, no raping,

01:36:32.580 no enslaving, we don't do that stuff.

01:36:34.660 And then Sophonius goes,

01:36:35.780 oh, but you're going to seize property in the city.

01:36:37.340 and the caliph goes no

01:36:39.080 no we're not going to take anybody's property

01:36:40.400 we're going to leave the city exactly like it is

01:36:42.520 the only thing I want to do is eject the Roman politicians

01:36:45.020 with whatever they can carry

01:36:47.080 and Sophronius goes

01:36:48.880 there's nothing to negotiate

01:36:49.620 yeah we surrender the city this instant

01:36:50.940 I don't understand actually

01:36:53.280 they walk into the city

01:36:55.200 Khalid is one of the men following

01:36:57.180 all these guys are on foot

01:36:59.520 if they've got their horses with them

01:37:01.180 they're leading their horses by the reins

01:37:02.320 because the leadership is on foot

01:37:03.700 there's no way they're going to ride in

01:37:04.700 they're walking

01:37:06.380 And this is a holy city to them, because Jesus is holy to them, because the Jews were holy to them.

01:37:10.400 And so they see this as a holy city.

01:37:13.400 Sophronius goes, tell me about your religion as they're walking through the streets.

01:37:18.240 And so Omar ibn al-Khattab starts telling him about Islam.

01:37:21.920 Sophronius goes, it just sounds like a variation of Christianity.

01:37:25.220 I feel like our religions are shockingly similar.

01:37:29.320 And Omar ibn al-Khattab goes, yeah, because they are.

01:37:32.580 I mean, we thought we were doing Judaism 3.0.

01:37:35.760 It never occurred to us that we were going to be received as being so different.

01:37:39.660 And he goes, okay.

01:37:42.480 This is still going on today.

01:37:44.860 This exact conversation and situation still goes on today.

01:37:53.540 Since you've given us such amazing surrender terms, my alarm is going off.

01:37:58.680 I can't turn it off.

01:37:59.580 It's so embarrassing.

01:38:00.180 It's telling me to put my kids to bed.

01:38:03.260 So someone in the chat said you don't have Holy Trinity.

01:38:05.060 okay dude like be proud of it congrats you have the holy trinity great great like i'm not trying

01:38:10.600 to convince you of anything it's like you can believe what you want to believe in bro but it

01:38:15.380 doesn't mention the trinity one time in the bible it doesn't say it i should have remembered to turn

01:38:22.460 it off but it didn't occur it says you've given us such amazing surrender terms and because i feel

01:38:26.080 such kinship with your religion will you do me an honor will you come to my church and pray in your

01:38:31.240 Muslim way next to me as I pray in my Christian

01:38:33.260 way. And Omar Ibn al-Khattab goes

01:38:35.280 never. And Zephonius goes, why?

01:38:37.880 Well, you know, we can pray in

01:38:39.260 Jewish temples. We can't pray in church. Oh, because

01:38:41.400 they have idols, right? Temples

01:38:43.440 are absent of idols,

01:38:45.380 so we can't pray there. But in a Christian

01:38:47.620 church, we're not

01:38:49.340 supposed to pray to Mary or, okay.

01:38:51.660 Is that correct? He goes,

01:38:53.360 I'm the caliph. The first place

01:38:55.360 I pray in Jerusalem is going to become a

01:38:57.280 mosque. The Muslims will take it and they will

01:38:59.280 create a place of worship for Muslims and

01:39:01.160 you will lose it. And I don't

01:39:03.240 want you to lose your church.

01:39:06.400 And Sophonius goes,

01:39:07.900 oh, okay.

01:39:09.720 What if we find an empty piece of Jerusalem

01:39:11.340 and we just pray there? And Omar

01:39:12.800 goes, yes, I accept.

01:39:15.260 An empty piece. Something that nobody else.

01:39:17.760 So they go and they find an empty lot

01:39:19.120 and they pray.

01:39:21.940 The archbishop in his Christian way,

01:39:23.420 the caliph in his Muslim way, side by side.

01:39:25.520 Wow. It is a mosque today.

01:39:27.320 That spot. Commemorating the first

01:39:29.300 place but the first whistle god of brayden in jerusalem whoa alexa is that alexa

01:40:23.240 and is this the first mosque in jerusalem

01:40:24.840 He nailed it, commemorating the Muslim way side by side.

01:40:28.680 It is a mosque today.

01:40:30.120 That's God.

01:40:31.120 Commemorating the first place that the first Muslim had prayed in in Jerusalem.

01:40:35.040 He nailed it.

01:40:35.840 He knew what was coming.

01:40:37.340 And he saved the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians.

01:40:40.780 Because that's what I'm talking about, bro.

01:40:42.920 That's what I'm talking about.

01:40:44.420 This is exactly what this is about.

01:40:46.440 He doesn't destroy the church.

01:40:47.700 He doesn't pillage it.

01:40:48.780 He keeps it out of a sign of respect.

01:40:51.820 And Sophonius asked Umar for dawah.

01:40:53.320 and he realizes oh wait Islam is so similar

01:40:55.580 and they pray side by side

01:40:57.680 they didn't beef

01:40:58.520 the Goyim United

01:40:59.740 this is what I want

01:41:05.000 this should be me and Nick Fuentes

01:41:06.680 this should be me and Nick

01:41:08.340 and said he's like

01:41:10.460 why are these

01:41:12.560 Muslims coming in I just want more

01:41:15.160 claviculars I just want

01:41:21.360 more club maxing

01:41:23.920 I'm joking.

01:41:24.740 Don't get mad.

01:41:25.520 That's the church.

01:41:26.400 Sophonius wanted him to pray in.

01:41:31.480 At that point, the caliph says, I want to see the Temple Mount.

01:41:36.240 And Sophonius goes, why?

01:41:38.100 And the caliph goes, because it's holy.

01:41:40.240 It's holy to everybody.

01:41:41.480 It's holy to Christians.

01:41:42.080 It's holy to Jews.

01:41:42.620 It's holy to Muslims.

01:41:43.520 And Sophonius goes, nah, we haven't been treating it as holy to anybody.

01:41:46.060 What?

01:41:46.940 And Omar ibn al-Khattab goes, what do you mean?

01:41:49.280 And so Sophonius says, so after we tore down the second Temple of Solomon,

01:41:53.040 when we conquered Palestine.

01:41:53.980 This is so embarrassing.

01:41:55.020 Bro, Alex is in Jerusalem.

01:41:58.840 It's right there.

01:42:01.300 Oh, right, right, right, right.

01:42:02.460 Alex and Moscow is built on top of the Second Temple.

01:42:04.040 You and Nick should go there and do it.

01:42:06.300 Goyim, united.

01:42:07.980 We will never be defeated.

01:42:09.960 Well, I don't think we're going to be safe in Jerusalem right now.

01:42:12.900 Probably not a good idea to go there.

01:42:17.020 Yeah, I remember Alex and Moscow is built on top of the Second Temple.

01:42:23.040 we turned the Temple Mount into a garbage dump

01:42:25.680 to punish the Jews.

01:42:28.280 And so, and...

01:42:29.760 Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew.

01:42:32.900 Dude, you spanned it, Nick got swatted 30 billion times.

01:42:35.420 We've already covered it.

01:42:36.100 Shut up, dork.

01:42:36.800 Get out of my chat.

01:42:37.680 Take an hour off.

01:42:40.120 The chalif goes, what do you mean?

01:42:42.200 And Staphonius goes, yeah, we've been,

01:42:43.900 there's like 500 years of refuse on that thing.

01:42:45.960 It's just a garbage dump.

01:42:47.740 And he goes, show me.

01:42:49.200 They walk up to the Temple Mount

01:42:50.740 and the chalif can't believe what he's looking at.

01:42:53.340 He falls on his knees and he begins clearing the garbage by his hands.

01:42:56.960 His army sees their leader on his knees clearing garbage

01:43:00.440 and they run up and they start clearing the garbage themselves

01:43:02.420 and they clear the garbage off the Temple Mount.

01:43:06.760 The chalif goes, okay, I want to meet some of the Jews living in Jerusalem.

01:43:11.620 And Symphonius goes, there are no Jews in Jerusalem.

01:43:15.860 And the chalif goes, what do you mean there's no Jews in Jerusalem?

01:43:18.360 The city is holy to the Jews.

01:43:20.120 How could there be no Jews?

01:43:21.540 And he says, well, us Christians,

01:43:23.460 we pretty much murder them every chance we get.

01:43:25.560 We really...

01:43:26.020 Oh, my.

01:43:35.160 Wait, so what's his response?

01:43:37.600 And you mean there's no Jews in Jerusalem?

01:43:39.480 The city is holy to the Jews.

01:43:45.720 Why not?

01:43:47.440 This is a holy city to Jews.

01:43:52.060 My bad, we kicked him out.

01:44:02.260 How can there be no Jews?

01:44:03.920 And he says, well, us Christians,

01:44:05.860 we pretty much murder them every chance we get.

01:44:07.900 We really hate Jews.

01:44:09.080 In fact, in the war we just did against the Persians,

01:44:11.780 the Jews sided with the Persians.

01:44:12.980 And so we murdered 20,000 Jews in Jerusalem.

01:44:16.020 oh my

01:44:17.260 we learned about that when the Jews

01:44:20.440 sided with the Persians

01:44:21.220 I can't remember what battle it was

01:44:23.380 it was from the other lecture

01:44:25.260 can't remember

01:44:26.560 Romans

01:44:28.020 murdered 20k Jews

01:44:32.140 in Jerusalem

01:44:33.140 Jerusalem

01:44:35.900 because

01:44:37.080 they sided with Persians

01:44:41.420 the Zoroastrians

01:44:46.020 completely purged the city of its remaining Jewish population.

01:44:52.080 And Omar ibn al-Khattab goes, no, this is wrong.

01:44:54.700 You can't do this.

01:44:56.600 And so he turns to a convert to Islam, a Jewish convert to Islam,

01:45:00.760 and he says, I need you to find me 80 Jewish families

01:45:03.320 that were willing to volunteer to move to Jerusalem

01:45:06.040 so we can reestablish a Jewish presence in the city.

01:45:10.020 And that's how the Muslims conquered Jerusalem.

01:45:13.000 and that's the stuff that's left out of your history books

01:45:18.480 isn't that crazy yeah you know why it's because they want to push the narrative that muslims are

01:45:26.860 evil they go religion of peace isn't the scene peaceful the romans are like hey look uh raping

01:45:33.040 plundering pillaging uh rape muslim like nope we get off that they're getting fan

01:45:39.880 hmm hello why are you in poor camel clothes and they're like well yeah we don't do this for money

01:45:46.220 we don't do this for money and they're like uh the most like hey where are all the jews at

01:45:51.800 they're almost like what jews jews they're in the gas chamber and the most like no no no stop

01:45:58.140 there's a holy seat of here bring them back bring them back coexist unity we don't need to kill them

01:46:02.680 we know that we're right so they're going to convert anyway not an amazing story

01:46:06.520 and look at how ungrateful the zionists today are look at how ungrateful they are

01:46:13.920 after jerusalem omar turns to halid and goes i know you fought at yarmouk and i know you

01:46:21.000 impersonated me i really hate you you're going to go to mecca and you're going to spend the rest of

01:46:27.400 your days there you're not no more combat for you i'm retiring you i actually don't think he died

01:46:33.660 in mecca he did leave but he never fought another battle that was it that was the end of his

01:46:37.280 military career he was he died in bed at age 50 i don't know what was ailing him something got him

01:46:43.620 and his final words were you cannot put your hand anywhere on my body without touching a combat wound

01:46:52.040 i am covered in scars it was my dream that god would let me die as a man on the field of battle

01:47:00.760 Here I am

01:47:02.640 In a bed

01:47:03.880 Dying like a cow

01:47:05.420 Is that his last words?

01:47:14.120 Oh my god

01:47:15.880 Here I am

01:47:21.480 In a bed

01:47:22.720 Dying like a cow

01:47:24.240 And that's where I'm going to end the story

01:47:30.760 Wow.

01:47:36.840 Let's quickly go over these notes.

01:47:38.600 What a lecture.

01:47:40.060 Khaled Ibn Walid,

01:47:42.120 the greatest general,

01:47:46.480 is one of the three greatest warriors of all time.

01:47:49.020 I don't know who else he puts in there.

01:47:51.240 And he's saying that the reason we don't know about the story

01:47:53.100 is because the racist Western bias focuses on white warriors.

01:47:56.700 It's whitewashed history.

01:48:00.140 Whitewashed.

01:48:00.760 quite

01:48:02.460 what's this

01:48:05.800 oh I can get rid of my notes here

01:48:08.300 it's a quick review

01:48:10.100 Western civilization created by Iraqis and Egyptians

01:48:14.600 I'm not sure why he said that

01:48:15.480 Middle East is not the East

01:48:16.580 freshwater plumbing

01:48:17.320 they have oil-like landing before others

01:48:19.140 Caesar saved his family from bankruptcy

01:48:24.180 part of an undercover group

01:48:25.280 the crowd of Caesar and Pompeii

01:48:26.920 went undercover so others could rule Rome

01:48:29.620 romans not doing well here attack persia with fruticae romans to get money because persia was

01:48:35.040 rich and they met ak persian horseback with calvary uh persians using bows and arrows romans

01:48:41.980 lock shields using the testudo persian arrows bounce right off they had shielding up bing bing

01:48:47.320 bouncing off the persians turn around in horses and shoot more bows by surprise so they're going

01:48:52.960 back uh-oh you didn't think we're gonna do this and they start sniping they start no scoping out

01:48:57.400 the back of their horses the persians go up a hill and the romans follow up the hill where a

01:49:03.320 thousand more persian soldiers hiding called cataphracts basically tanks juggernauts shielded

01:49:08.640 up ready to go and then they identified crassus's son and crassus is one of the three leaders

01:49:15.100 they identify crassus's son and behead him in front of everyone humiliating the persians loaded

01:49:23.100 with a thousand arrows each and camels keep coming back and forth to come and reload them

01:49:26.760 They have unlimited ammo.

01:49:28.180 The sun goes down, which saves the Romans because they're getting slaughtered.

01:49:32.300 Crassus talks to Persian general the next day demanding land.

01:49:35.660 Give me that land.

01:49:36.980 And they say, no, no land.

01:49:40.980 I'm going to put that in.

01:49:45.700 Persians refuse.

01:49:48.720 Fight breaks out again and 20,000 Romans were killed.

01:49:53.760 Rome.

01:49:54.280 200 Persians died

01:49:57.040 Romans were 100 to 1

01:49:58.780 But the deaths were 5 to 1

01:50:00.380 The Romans completely outnumbered them

01:50:02.240 But they got slaughtered

01:50:03.980 The Persian Empire prides themselves with hosting

01:50:05.980 They said we're such good hosts

01:50:08.120 So here you want to

01:50:09.960 Have you noticed all the superpowers religions

01:50:12.580 Are in the East Russia China Islam Empires

01:50:15.440 Just noticed that

01:50:23.980 Why is Nick texting me?

01:50:27.820 He says, oh, because we probably were self-hosting, you came here for gold, huh?

01:50:32.140 They opened up Craster's mouth and poured melting gold in his mouth.

01:50:38.020 Oh, you want a gold so bad?

01:50:39.060 Here you go.

01:50:40.540 Oof, brutal.

01:50:42.320 The first Roman Empire was captured by Valerian.

01:50:45.900 And this pissed them off, and they had a lot of wars afterwards.

01:50:51.380 I'll write that.

01:50:52.320 I remember he said it.

01:50:53.040 this angers Romans they continue battling for years and years first Roman

01:51:02.960 Emperor capture was Valerian Indonesians caused problems for the I don't know why

01:51:06.060 I even wrote this note I don't remember why someone deleted it

01:51:12.280 Indonesians caused problems for the Persian and Roman Empire replenished the

01:51:16.740 whole world only lemurs are living in Madagascar was colonized by the

01:51:21.320 the Indonesians. They traded rice with the Africans, and to grow rice, you flood a field.

01:51:27.820 Mosquitoes love flooded fields. Malaria tears up the region from Spain to Iran. Roman and Persian

01:51:34.060 empires crumble from malaria. Bubonic plague comes and tears them up for 800 years. To put

01:51:41.160 it to context, in 1348, the bubonic plague killed 40% of Europeans in one year and 60% of North

01:51:46.440 Africans and the comparison if we're talking about a plague two percent of population died

01:51:56.640 from is that even true was it really nothing it wasn't two percent that got COVID that died from

01:52:01.900 COVID it's not really that's true 600 AD the Roman Persian Empire populations dwindled terrible

01:52:06.920 economy we are taught Rome fell in 476 AD but Rome really fell in 1453 AD

01:52:13.140 so Rome was still around

01:52:16.840 when Mohammed

01:52:17.900 arrives

01:52:18.720 Rome reunited

01:52:21.180 so there was one emperor

01:52:22.460 so I guess they kind of disbanded

01:52:24.480 but they reunited

01:52:25.000 Mauritius the Roman Empire

01:52:26.960 sided with the Persians

01:52:28.320 trying to become

01:52:30.260 Persian Emperor

01:52:31.040 during Civil War

01:52:31.800 Focus

01:52:36.540 the general

01:52:37.960 then Roman Emperor

01:52:39.180 was mad at Mauritius

01:52:40.060 because his soldiers

01:52:41.380 were allowed to be killed

01:52:42.720 Mauritius allowed

01:52:48.100 Focus's soldiers

01:52:50.120 to be killed

01:52:53.360 he kills them in Constantinople

01:52:58.140 Heracles leads a revolution

01:53:00.480 and becomes Roman Emperor

01:53:01.560 Heracles

01:53:03.420 and so here's Heracles

01:53:04.820 I think he's the guy in charge

01:53:06.320 when the Muslims started conquering

01:53:08.960 there's a 26 year war with Persians

01:53:11.240 he gets a coin with his face

01:53:14.980 he's killed 40 days later

01:53:16.840 Russia, China, Islamic empires

01:53:19.000 Mongols, all the world religion's

01:53:21.080 oldest civilizations in Asia

01:54:56.280 He got shot?

01:55:07.180 No, okay, why do you guys say that

01:55:11.940 Well two days in a row is crazy

01:55:23.620 Took my memo

01:55:25.620 Okay, there's a 26-year war with Persians.

01:55:41.820 He gets a coin with his face.

01:55:43.940 Heracles is killed 40 days later.

01:55:46.820 Then, 620 AD, Muhammad, peace be upon him, arrives.

01:55:51.540 In 622 AD, he's kicked out by, why is it 628?

01:55:59.000 I don't understand why it's backwards.

01:56:02.260 I don't know.

01:56:02.980 But 622 AD, I'm just going to delete that note.

01:56:08.200 Muhammad PB, because we know this stuff.

01:56:10.500 We'll delete this note.

01:56:13.140 Kicked out by Meckins.

01:56:19.040 Okay.

01:56:21.540 uh he wanted to unite the jews and christians uh he takes uh there's the hijra to medina

01:56:28.640 because he's expelled with the meccans by meccans by meccan paganists

01:56:34.340 islam becomes its own religion he thought it was going to be uniting and they're like

01:56:39.780 not something else they got really mad at monotheism and then in the battle of ahud

01:56:43.600 After several battles, Khalid reverts from paganism.

01:56:49.100 629 A.D., marching north towards the city of Mutah with 3,000 Arab Muslims.

01:56:54.300 The reason is they were there to attack the Roman Empire.

01:56:57.720 The Christian Arabs who fought for the Romans were called the Gassanids.

01:57:02.420 How do you pronounce this?

01:57:04.120 Gassanids?

01:57:11.420 Gassanids.

01:57:11.940 how do you pronounce this real quick

01:57:13.760 oh my god why is there an intro on this video

01:57:19.780 never mind i don't care um 10 to 20k romans against 3k muslims the muslims

01:57:25.580 unnumbered maybe six to one

01:57:26.740 put that one note

01:57:29.700 six to one

01:57:35.320 But the Muslims slaughter them

01:57:42.640 They're coming to slaughter your daughter

01:57:46.000 Slaughter your daughter

01:57:48.420 Mogged by Klov

01:57:51.740 Khalid Ibn Wani chosen to get the Muslims

01:57:54.660 To escape

01:57:56.240 He tricks the Romans by swapping banners

01:57:59.880 To fake reinforcements

01:58:01.040 and also i remember he said setting up campfires and having people walk around

01:58:09.020 walk around to fake

01:58:12.820 camp the only battle that hibben uh halid ibn wali commanded that he didn't win

01:58:22.140 so it's really the first time he's in charge because he's selected to just get them to escape

01:58:27.360 the notes are wrong

01:58:29.760 what's wrong

01:58:31.020 say it

01:58:31.820 he didn't command the battle

01:58:36.220 that's what he said

01:58:36.960 in the thing

01:58:37.400 I didn't say command

01:58:41.280 okay I won't say command

01:58:46.800 he commanded the escape

01:58:51.160 yeah dude

01:58:52.080 okay you're being

01:58:53.680 nitpicky little halal

01:58:54.720 Arabia had never been ruled

01:58:56.500 by one political entity.

01:58:58.060 Muhammad, peace be upon him, dies 632 AD.

01:59:01.620 It's the closest to conquer Arabia with 40%.

01:59:04.000 He's replaced by Abu Bakr.

01:59:05.820 He ruled for two years.

01:59:07.400 Abu Bakr, the second caliph, or first.

01:59:10.820 Abu Bakr, his title is

01:59:12.780 the follower of the messenger of God.

01:59:18.020 Abu Bakr had two armies

01:59:19.460 in the goal to conquer Arabia.

01:59:23.240 Khalid ibn Wali led the army going east,

01:59:25.380 One of two armies

01:59:26.660 In 633, Arabia is unified

01:59:29.140 The campaign took less than a year

01:59:31.200 Less than a year

01:59:33.380 It keeps going to the southern tip of Iraq

01:59:37.360 The Battle of Chains in Kuwait

01:59:39.120 Persians show themselves chained

01:59:41.180 As a sign of no retreat

01:59:42.640 Because again

01:59:44.820 They're referencing the last battle

01:59:47.300 Where they escaped

01:59:48.160 It's traditional to send champions

01:59:51.240 To fight before a big battle

01:59:52.680 The Muslims would use poets before battle

01:59:55.320 If the poem is good enough, the other army retreats.

01:59:58.380 Khalid ibn Walid shouts, I'm my champion.

02:00:01.160 Bring the Persian champion.

02:00:10.160 Khalid ibn Walid kills the champion in 30 seconds.

02:00:15.320 Then it's 18k Muslims versus 20k Persians.

02:00:18.600 And these are the Persians who tore the Romans apart.

02:00:25.320 Khalid

02:00:30.840 only a couple hundred soldiers lost

02:00:32.520 they destroy Persians

02:00:34.500 destroy Persians

02:00:37.600 ooh man

02:00:38.620 these are some brutal soldiers

02:00:40.540 then they go to Harat

02:00:42.520 in Iraq

02:00:43.280 the Persians are so scared that they try to set up a trap with 12 hiding corpses

02:00:46.720 Khalid

02:00:48.760 and another man

02:00:49.540 kill all of them

02:00:52.440 all 12

02:00:53.420 all 12 traps destroyed persians with surrounding and flanking strategy because they were outnumbered

02:01:02.080 they would flank they head further into iraq they fight three battles

02:01:06.360 60k persian soldiers separated in three armies there's 15k muslim soldiers

02:01:13.420 highly strategizing because outnumbered because they're outnumbered he divides his army to three

02:01:17.840 and told them to meet at a target point they catch one persian army asleep at camp and slaughter

02:01:22.220 of them slaughter your daughter it repeats three division meat point strategy same time and place

02:01:29.380 i'm going to delete this three make it simple they wipe out 30k persians with almost no losses

02:01:35.280 they use this strategy three times and wipe out almost 60k persians they go to faraz border

02:01:40.180 between persian and roman empire and for 680 years the persians or romans were at war

02:01:44.820 halle gets the ferraz and persians and romans say meh let's ally up and focus on them that's too

02:01:53.560 much work that's too much work the persian empire is 1200 years old rome roman empire is 600 years

02:02:02.580 old well it's really actually 900 years but the history gets whitewashed to yeah the muslims

02:02:10.400 outnumbered out experienced out equipped right they also didn't even have access to rivers

02:02:14.780 so they don't even have the same supplies in one year the muslims capture iraq one year

02:02:21.920 i already said that um yeah then hallowed attacks both empires at once the persians and the romans

02:02:29.260 and 50k christian arabs in persian roman empire but there's 100k soldiers in total

02:02:33.800 the Muslims go behind a river

02:02:37.140 and wait for the enemy

02:02:38.220 Khalid prays for victory

02:02:40.300 and says

02:02:41.280 if I win this

02:02:42.220 I will do hajj

02:02:43.420 I will perform hajj

02:02:50.800 hajji, hajji, hajji

02:02:52.960 200 Muslims dead

02:02:56.080 50k Persian and Romans dead

02:02:58.100 5k Muslims versus 50k soldiers

02:03:02.960 This is the fighting of the Christian Arabs.

02:03:05.360 Khalid charges men back and forth repeatedly.

02:03:10.600 Khalid cloaks up undercover after winning this and goes back to do Hajj.

02:03:14.120 Returns, then returns back to war.

02:03:17.340 Please fit it.

02:03:18.140 Please fit.

02:03:19.980 Goes back.

02:03:22.000 Goes back for Hajj.

02:03:24.640 Returns back to war.
