@@Iason29 but its a thing about abrahamic religions. they all claim theyre peacefull but if you read their so called holy books and look at history, its always a war between Good and Evil where everything that is not in their religion is considered evil thus war with them! lol
@@jeanmuyuela8112 I'm actually and always been pro religion and value all kinds of religions for what each has to offer to the human conscience. I have also done research in the resurrection of christ which is very likely it did happen as the Roman army back then when taking record of this event had no reason to lie nor did the large part of the population who claimed to have seen him walking around villages after his death. However when it comes to Christianity there is a huge gap between what the message of this unexplained miracle was meant for and how it was hijacked by men of influence later thus there is a chance that the resurrection may have been in fact the only real miracle that ever took place as a real God doesn't need to make another.. 90% of what can be described as Christianity was conjured years if not centuries after Christ's death in order to control the interpretation of christ for reasons of having power over people. The problem in this modern century is now that for the first time science and archeology has given us so many answers and truths people dont bother to distinguish between real Christianity and that which is not, instead they generalize and condemn it all together, nor value the attempts of of those who over the centuries and in this day made genuine attempts to interpret the real purpose of religion. Thus its ironic and hypocritical when people who judge religion claim to do so objectively and scientifically but cannot see that they judge based on a religion of their own making. The many social scientists who did attempt to make a genuine scientific research effort in the resurrection and wrote books accidentally turned from atheists to believers or the very least confused doubters. There was I remember even a researcher who claimed to have turned atheist and believer 5 times over his lifetime in his book.

At 9:20 it is mentioned that the defenders used 2 handed swords and the illustration makes them look like late medieval longswords. This is greatly interesting to me, where are these swords mentioned and how can i learn more about them?
No two-handed in the illustration I believe. Agreed though, it would be interesting to know more about the broad sword or whatever it was. Not the same, but kind of makes me think of Freeman's sword in Robin Hood.
@@JackBlack-py4en the narrator says from 9:00 onwards: "ontop the battlements some defenders used two handed swords." if you look at the scabbard of the defender, his undrawn sword looks like a late medieval longsword. I understand that artists have to fill in the blanks in a often very spotty medieval description and that this can be difficult. Yet there has to be a reason why Kings and Generals included the line about the Fatimids having two handers in their arsenal when those very, very rare in europe at the time. Especially since i know of an African martial artist (with whom i have a mutual friend) that a while ago tackled the the topic of african longswords and said that he knows of no examples.
@@luissengl8436 A german historian explained that the muslims in the crusades didnt have curved swords. Cuved swords were first invented with the Falchion in France. Curved Swords like sabers are more a thing of the early new age and onward. So its possible that the defenders indeed had swords long enough to be two handed. Maybe they created them themselves or captured them after battle. Or its just a stylistic thing. Not every weapon on old drawings looks exactly like it used to look. If you understand german i can send you a link. It covers the general topic of melee weapons of the all the middle ages from early to late. Even with drawings of the crusader bible.
@@sarstenstahlsarsten6577 German is my mother tounge and I would very much like to look at your source. I am also aware that arabs generally adopted the curved sword only around that time and still used straight swords for quite a while.

Eustace III of Boulogne gained notoriety for his actions during the siege of Jerusalem, fighting relentlessly from a siege tower along with his brother Godfrey of Bouillon and the crusaders they commanded. They were among the first to breach Jerusalem's city walls along with Ludolf of Tournai and his brother Engelbert. Eustace commanded a division of the crusader army during the Battle of Ascalon.
I like to think that if there was a god, he would have given the crusaders a miracle in the hopes that they would show love, mercy, and piety in their taking of Jerusalem. Instead they slaughtered indiscriminately. I wonder what Jesus would have thought…

@@TruthSeeker8834 Funny. There was a 4chan thread a couple days ago where a Saudi was crying that his country was being taken over by liberal degeneracy. Music concerts and rock festivals, transgenders, and videos of hijabis dancing and doing drugs were posted. Many Muslim posters came to the thread, either to express shock and anger at the state of their "Muslim" countries or to laugh at Saudi Arabia. There were photos and videos of this happening all across the Muslim world. I wonder what happened to the so-called chosen people of Allah? Not a single Muslim poster came to reject it and to deny it, they were crying at how sad it was. Very interesting, don't you agree? The thing is, my dear Muslim friend, no country is "immune" to Western liberal degeneracy. It started in the West and it will spread to wherever you are too. It is inevitable. Already it is happening everywhere. Sucks but it's true. Even in China, the supposed "enemy of the West", LGBT and liberalism is rising. But keep telling me to cope I guess, lol.
"i give safe passage to every Christian, men woman and children including your Queen. No soul shall be harm." "When we christians took this city, we killed all your people" "am not those men.

@@HughMungus11 Salahudin and his army really respected the lives of the defeated christians who surrendered Jerusalem ; including the priests, women, children and the elderly. They even allowed the Christians to make pilgrimage to pray in the christian holly chuches in the city of Jerusalem. This is also one of the reasons why Salahudin became known by his chivalry and honor in western Europe,when the crusaders went back home and told the story.

Hello guys! I just interedted about the resources which you used for the first crusade. May I ask which are those? As a history teacher I find that information crutial

Great video, information and quality, thank you Unfortunately, the massacre committed by the Crusaders cannot be described. The Fatimid state and the Seljuks bear what happened, except for the differences between them. They could not read the scene and appreciate the strength of their opponent, but this does not diminish the achievement of the Crusaders in this campaign despite their differences.
@@hornerfarah2282 they exterminated the christian population of syracuse, taormina, rometta, (sicily) genoa (northern italy) otranto (southern italy) for example
Muslim at that time only defending themselves against Crusader from Europe is that wrong? what r u expecting? Muslim letting the Crusader massacre Muslim and Jews?
It’s so easy to get hyped as we recount the Crusaders’ exploits so many centuries later… but then we remember the horrifying results, and what all this _really_ meant for the world.
I think that your division of quarters in Jerusalem is a latter division more modern than 1099. The Jewish quarter was in the northeast part of the city, not the southeast part of it

@@muslimresponse103 considering Islam spread by the sword; slaughtering and/or enslaving innocent men, women, & children (including making child brides) for hundreds of years before the Crusades: I think you don't have much room to speak pal.
Furthermore, I don't condone everything that happened on Crusade; same as K&G.
I'm not out here trying to insult your faith or anything, but sure: go off.
Merry late Christmas and I do earnestly hope you come to see Christ some day.
Awesome!
I'd love to see a realistic adaptation of the first crusade, people don't seem to understand how bad they were.
it would b like 30000 Talebans coming in east coast, conquering n holding NY, Virginia n Illinois for 2 years...9/11 for 24/7 2years...do u really hope for that impossible n terrible fate?

@@based_kaiser9015 Nah,,,Islam is still standing while crusader country’s got infected by degeneracy, liberalism, promiscuity etc. So cope harder.
@@TruthSeeker8834 Funny. There was a 4chan thread a couple days ago where a Saudi was crying that his country was being taken over by liberal degeneracy. Music concerts and rock festivals, transgenders, and videos of hijabis dancing and doing drugs were posted. Many Muslim posters came to the thread, either to express shock and anger at the state of their "Muslim" countries or to laugh at Saudi Arabia. There were photos and videos of this happening all across the Muslim world. I wonder what happened to the so-called chosen people of Allah? Not a single Muslim poster came to reject it and to deny it, they were crying at how sad it was. Very interesting, don't you agree? The thing is, my dear Muslim friend, no country is "immune" to Western liberal degeneracy. It started in the West and it will spread to wherever you are too. It is inevitable. Already it is happening everywhere. Sucks but it's true. Even in China, the supposed "enemy of the West", LGBT and liberalism is rising. But keep telling me to cope I guess, lol.
@@TruthSeeker8834Christianity still standing
Is there also coming up a video about the second cruscade, because I know there is already one about the third.
Glad to finally understand the reference to this massacre from Kingdom of Heaven
"i give safe passage to every Christian, men woman and children including your Queen.
No soul shall be harm."
"When we christians took this city, we killed all your people"
"am not those men. I am Salahuddin"
"Under this terms, i surrender the city. If this is the Kingdom of Heaven, then let God do to it as he wills"
"Assalamu alaikum"
@@HughMungus11 we never said it wasn't fictional. But facts still stands that when Salahuddin Ayubi took Jerusalem, no masacres took place.
@@HughMungus11 Salahudin and his army really respected the lives of the defeated christians who surrendered Jerusalem ; including the priests, women, children and the elderly.
They even allowed the Christians to make pilgrimage to pray in the christian holly chuches in the city of Jerusalem.
This is also one of the reasons why Salahudin became known by his chivalry and honor in western Europe,when the crusaders went back home and told the story.
@@HughMungus11 i think that better that getting killed and seeing your wife mother and sister being raped infront of your eyes before dying.

Hey just asking where’s the next part is it coming out in a week or two
Merry Christmas K&G!
These videos are a blessing
Time to rewatch "Kingdom of Heaven", though it's not about the First Crusade. Cool animations and maps!
Kigdom of heaven is ahistorical. Real story is much more interesting.
@@7gromojar Still an awesome movie, though. Just make to watch the director’s cut; the theatrical cut is garbage.
@@Dreigonix I saw the theatrical cut originally as a kid and still liked it even though the plot was flawed. I saw the directors cut and it totally changed the movie.
@@emmanuelcalderon1982 I can’t believe they cut the ENTIRE BIT WITH SYBILLA’S KID. Like, that’s so crucial!
@@Dreigonix I know right? That scene explains so much of her motives. The plot just isn't right without that scene.
Long ago for shorts video
Great video! The savagery and barbarism of the crusaders is hard to wrap one's mind around, even knowing well how brutal warfare was in general.
Merry Christmas 🎅
When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem, they destroyed the Jews and Muslims and even He massacred Christians without mercy, and this event was proven by European historians.

Hello guys!
I just interedted about the resources which you used for the first crusade. May I ask which are those? As a history teacher I find that information crutial
Based AF
Killing Children women and innocent men I don't think so
Thank you brother
The description of snatching babies from their mothers and smashing them against the wall breaking their necks was too much... is there even a word to describe such savagery.
Their musliman(the civilians) ancestors did the same to the siriac cristians who dwel in Jerusalem more that 500earlier
@@raduraducu2668 You need some sources to back that up, also, only a psychopath will even attempt to justify what happened.
@@elivinture6672 ,I am not tring to justify it but I try to make the world know that the muslimins where the first to comit atrocities in the name of religion in the area.
@@raduraducu2668 Again you need to back up with sources else to me you are just a psychopath trying to justify what they did. (btw you are wrong that area was in constant war of religions before Christianity even existed, from Assyria to Babylon...)

did you really have to ask about my love life in that ad? damn k&g i love you but you're bringing me down. it's complicated, ok?
Great video, information and quality, thank you
Unfortunately, the massacre committed by the Crusaders cannot be described. The Fatimid state and the Seljuks bear what happened, except for the differences between them. They could not read the scene and appreciate the strength of their opponent, but this does not diminish the achievement of the Crusaders in this campaign despite their differences.
It does diminish it pretty greatly. The Crusaders lost all respect and were pretty pathetic in doing so.

I wonder how God must have felt watching his worshippers dying and slaining in his name, whether Christians or Muslims.
Muslim at that time only defending themselves against Crusader from Europe is that wrong? what r u expecting? Muslim letting the Crusader massacre Muslim and Jews?
I'm sure God was sad

I think that your division of quarters in Jerusalem is a latter division more modern than 1099. The Jewish quarter was in the northeast part of the city, not the southeast part of it
