Why has there been no producer with the courage to create something truly ancient, unique, and significant on the silver screen? I would love to watch a movie about the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (mid-late 7th century BCE) or about the equally brilliant Achaemenid-Persian king Darius I (mid-6th century BCE), but there appears to be none - not even anything else related to their era... On the other hand, I found a record regarding a movie from late antiquity, namely "The Epic of Gilgamesh" (Sumerian), that was produced years ago, but I have so far been unable to locate any place where I might purchase it In fact, I would greatly appreciate if anyone were poised to provide me with any information thereabouts. Cheers!
Agora! One of the best movies ever! So happy that you put it there. Regarding Gladiator, it’s true it has some inaccuracies but I would forgive them for one reason: at the same time it’s inaccurate, it’s also magnificently accurate! Why? Because it brings something that we don’t learn in schools: the power of the generals. It’s really well depected how the generals might be more powerful than the emperors.
Rome should have had more battlescenes ? Spartacus became a little to long ? Perhaps the new Shogun series will be best ? I feel the best tv-series is missing from this list ?
Lew Wallace wrote Ben Hur after being fired from the Union Army after the Battle of Shiloh. Having nothing else to do he wrote Ben Hur. Troy did not follow The Iliad well enough. The key has always been the actions of the gods.
I am a fan of history movies….. I tried to see Agora 4-5 times and always I had impression that it’s wast times , I think it’s a lot of better movies. Can’t be second 2 place 🤦
Saw Alexander yesterday. Disappointed. It should be called: Alexander the great sexual adventurer. More accurate with what the movie depicts more. Waste of 3,5 hours
The Elyad was not the hisotrical documentation of the Trojan War. According to the website Luwian Studies, the Elyad became the most popular "source" of the Trojan War in the 12th century AD.

I love ancient history from all continents but t does seem HEAVILY weighted towards Ancient Greece, Rome, China and sometimes America
What's stopping you ? Appears to be your time to shine😂
@@TZH_04Maybe he's not an experienced multi-millionaire director with ties to Hollywood....
300 rise of an empire 2 is topnotch. Never gets bored
Also Braveheart & Kingdom of Heaven …thank you for your Top 10😊
Your welcome :) glad u liked the list

I know it didn't do too well or get great reviews, but I loved 300: Rise of an Empire. I always watch it whenever I catch it.
It's a bad movie. But each his guilty pleasure, I guess.
It wasn't nearly as good as 300 but it's not a bad film to watch once every couple of years or so
I agree it had its faults but it wasn’t a bad film still an entertaining watch.
Very cool list, did not know Imperium or Agora!
thanks, Imperium Augustus is a very poorly known film, totally underrated
Fall of the RE is ny all time fave film.I would personally have it at number 1:))
Rome should have had more battlescenes ?
Spartacus became a little to long ?
Perhaps the new Shogun series will be best ?
I feel the best tv-series is missing from this list ?
Your channel is one of my favourite channels .. always wait your update top others historical movie ..
thanks, i really appreciate the support :) im glad uve been enjoying my videos
Lew Wallace wrote Ben Hur after being fired from the Union Army after the Battle of Shiloh. Having nothing else to do he wrote Ben Hur. Troy did not follow The Iliad well enough. The key has always been the actions of the gods.
He also Imprisoned Billy the kid one time very interesting life.
I can't believe they added "Agora" as an historically accurate movie!
What do you think od rome tv series?
I really enjoyed it and recommend it in several videos. Season 1 was great but I felt season 2 was a bit rushed
@@HistorySpark thanks
Augustus: The First Emperor that is what the movie is called. Often you have the wrong titles. WTH?!
It's called imperium Augustus- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperium:_Augustus
I am a fan of history movies….. I tried to see Agora 4-5 times and always I had impression that it’s wast times , I think it’s a lot of better movies. Can’t be second 2 place 🤦
Troy wa best 💥❤❤❤, sad ending. Maybe you have cry
Впечатляющий контент, продолжай в том же духе.
Saw Alexander yesterday. Disappointed. It should be called: Alexander the great sexual adventurer. More accurate with what the movie depicts more. Waste of 3,5 hours
Ben hur, Gladiator, and Fall of the Roman Empire is NOT ancient. They belong to classical era. Please check your timeline.

Thanks for the comment
"Troy" pretty and crappy. yuck. Read the "illyad. So much more gripping. Only thing worse was "Gladiator".
The Elyad was not the hisotrical documentation of the Trojan War. According to the website Luwian Studies, the Elyad became the most popular "source" of the Trojan War in the 12th century AD.
