- The Order of Assassins were the deadliest special forces of the Medieval world. They were masters of disguise and stealth, wielding psychological warfare as their greatest weapon. Originating in 11th-century Persia, the Assassins, led by Hassan-i Sabbah, targeted prominent figures, including Sunni leaders, employing tactics like stabbing with stilettos and slashing with concealed weapons. The Assassins successfully assassinated key figures, instilling fear and dread across the Middle East.

The part where Saladins two most trusted bodyguards revealed themselves as sleeper assassins was crazy awesome. Imagine the horror Saladin must have experienced in that moment....
BUT WHAT A GANGSTER SALADDIN WAS HE SURVIVED ALL ATTEMPTS AND WENT CAMPAIGNING ALL OVER
Surely, saladin would have had the sleeper cells executed for treason?
@@IFAMILYIH gangster is maybe too little, one of histories finest men. Coming from a dutchy is even more impressive
He forged an alliance with the assassins later on against the crusaders
And we still cannot control them……go figure…..it’s not religious…..it’s cultural….different…..African cultures….like the Arabs…..are tens of thousands years old….europe was under ice 9 out of ten times…..cavedwellers
I thank Abstergo for making this video available.
Also thanks AC for teaching me more then school ever did even if it was a work of fiction
If that is true then you did an absolutely awful job of paying attention in school. Even if all you learned was basic math then that is already more than AC can ever teach you.
So what you're saying is that you have no marketable skills, didn't learn basic arithmetic, are barely literate, and can't offer anything of value to society, but you learned that some guys in the ancient Middle East smoked hash and accepted assassination contracts from a video game and a documentary?
Weird flex, but okay.😂
@@joshuacamacho9755he means history. There's a lot more historical accuracy in old ac games than in most middle school/high school history classes, especially when it comes to history from the 1400 to mid 1700s, and even with middle eastern history in the newest game assassin's creed mirage, in that game there's alot of information about the slave rebellion
Well you obviously didn’t learn proper grammar - we can deduce that much at least 😂
AC def crazy ,especially 2 (I think)
When you see the triangle , and it fits 72 mini triangles in it and you find out that there are 72 core religions or sumn , and the triangle is the strongest structure.... also it arises in teaching me about the masons & what not
Excited to listen to this while I go to sleep!:)
No sleepi time
Same here! Sleep well 😅😊
That’s the plan, but then I always watch 😂
When you wake up you'll be an assassin sleeper agent!
Facts
I'm super surprised that you didn't mention the fact that the cool hidden wrist blade from the game ACTUALLY DID exist and was actually used... they invented and manufactured a type of dagger that was kind of a gravity assisted design that activated by swinging their hand around or flicking their wrist. It wasn't widely used and difficult to make, but they did exist, and some were found, and many were directly mentioned in sources. The design was just kept a secret forever until the discovery, but I think the military banning them or deciding they're "impractical" helped wipe out our knowledge of them even further. I guess it's not really that relevant to the topic and would have added more time to the video, but I think it's still worth mentioning it, and it should have been mentioned in the video because I really truly believe from being a historian and reading sources, and seeing pictures of the artifacts, that this kind of blade was used in at least one of or maybe even all of the attacks that you talked about in the video. It's just an interesting fact to know...so I let everyone else know because I knew it.
I knew
Witch edition of the game was it in? I'm thinking of purchasing one
Thank you! Added knowledge is always a good thing.
Thank you do you have sources of this truth?
Inyetesting do you have any picture or pictures ?
notice how this is a better story than the last few assassins creed games were. they need to make games from real history stories like this.
all you say in this video is historically incorrect, according to studies of history nothing of these statements happened and the persons and roles stated in this video are all mixed up and ironic, and the dates are not correct
@@user-cx1lv3ji6fFirst of all, the original commenter didn’t write the script, so the idea that he was inaccurate is absurd. Secondly, you clearly don’t know what the word ironic means. Thirdly, if you don’t like it, you are free to watch any of a billion other videos on UA-cam.
Lol
Great post. I found it fascinating.
DUDE, its so cool hearing that the world assassin basically means weed head lol. this really puts ac 1 in new light though, makes me want to replay it
Stoner life
The followers of the hashish! bom!
Hashashims. Yeah thought everyone knew that. It's mentioned in film . several times.
Psst....oi, "Auto-correct" has substituted "word" for "World" in your comment, it's a sneaky f-cker, "Auto-correct" assumes that it has control of what you type....

I've been waiting a long time for this episode
With me being a big Assassin's creed fan I knew I'd enjoy this thanks very much 👍👍👍👏👏👏
im going to jump on assassins creed now while watching this 😂😂😁😁
What’s your favorite one?
i bought Black Flag on release day and more than a decade later I’m still obsessed with it..
@@agoogolofgeeseEzio trilogy is where it’s at. Unity got a lot of hate but if they stuck with that and perfected it things could have been so much better
😂😂😂😂Same!!!!
@@agoogolofgeese i really like rogue and odyssey even origins,but i hope they just give us a ezio game bring him back brnig back the assassin story and give us italy in all its glory like they did with greece in odyssey..
@@agoogolofgeese black flag was awesome too.. i have them all so i spend a little time each day playing them all.
21:21, actually to the contrary. You use the drug to focus on the task and not worry about everything that could happen. I knew a few people that used to graffiti in really dangerous places, and they say when they are sober, they are thinking of everything that could happen when they are high thinking of the work
It's truly in the way that you use it.
Very educative subject ❤

7:09 Habibi what persian state? Nizam almulk's job was Seljuk Prime minister SELJUKS were turks + Hasan Alsabbah himself was a Yemenite Arab who has just fled egypt , Other than that this documentary is the most detailed and deepest one i have seen being an Arab myself Btw i watched even the arabic works. yet this is the best
They are deliberately lying and twisting history of Arabs as usual.. lies lies lies bluntly given
Seljuks sultans like melishah were turkmens but not all visiers of state were turkmens like nizamulmulk, nizamulmulk was persian and grand visier of seljuks so its makes nonesense your claims and hasan sabbah great grandfathers comes from yemen but he and his father was porn in persia that makes half persian
@@mahadgeedijalawle3538 so if his grandfather comes from yemen hes also yemeni. Iran was part of the Abbasid Caliphate. Also Nizam al Mulk made Arabic the main language of the seljuk state
Brother its Born Born , please brother b not p thats a severe mistake lol, but thank you for your correction I will look into it@@mahadgeedijalawle3538
@@Bibliotecanatalie nizam almulk was a Persian Born in tus Iran, Persian was official language of Seljuk empire, also nizam al mulk have many books written in Persian

They are destroyers, not builders. Destruction takes a minute. Building takes a lifetime. One inherits death. The other inherits eternal life of love and family.
Before creation comes destruction
@@jeffkidd2959 and after destruction comes creation stfu 🤣
Very good documentary full of facts. Learnt so much about the original assasins
Who decided it was a good idea to show cars and modern day outfits on people in the cutscenes? Kills the aesthetic
And you obviously have no idea how to make a film. If you were paying attention the speaker was referencing how long the fight has gone on andnhow it has carried over into modern times. Hence the modern section of video. Get a life.
The creators of the video is trying to educate a modern audience by trying to illustrate the roots of their thinking and ideology. The creators are pairing some of today's events with the historical contexts from which they came.
Probably someone without a time machine lol
Uhm... no @@manuellubian5709
At the beginning, it would have been good of them to cover the evidence that the temple knights (Knights Templar) seem to have been working with them. Possibly as far back as 1080 A.D. But there's better evidence that their relationship started somewhere between 1090 & 1110.
Just like in the video game, the knight were digging under the temple mount hoping to find relics and/or treasure from the time of Solomon. Unlike the video game though, it seems, from what I've read, that they had a much more cordial & mutually beneficial relationship with the Assassins.
You should read David Livingstones work specifically his Ordo Ab Chao series of books. He goes really indepth into the origin and activities of the Templars as well as their interactions and cooperation with the assassins and what it led to.
@@ThatGuy-sc5rx
Thank you.
Assassins Creed Black Flag is my favorite game ever
Worst game out of all of them !!!
@@i2308Mattit’s ok to be factually wrong Matt
Why is Matt wrong ? That game was piss poor compared to the others
What a piece of work carried out on salahadin .
That jujitsu guy seems a little too enthusiastic. Maybe excuse yourself to go to the bathroom if you meet him at a party
😂😂😅
Good vid, but it was jarring to keep having all the recent video clips stuffed in there. There were a couple times there was a late 12th century date shown on screen and then rifles and cars... Only a couple times did it feel like it served a purpose.
Yeah I thought the same, made no sense at all.
The australian blade expert was my favorite part
Great video
How its so relatable in current times...is so enticing 😊
Interesting documentary
"a psychological dent"...understatement of the millenia.
Fascinating observations! Have you ever considered how historical inaccuracies in media influence our understanding of the past? Additionally, what do you think are the challenges in balancing historical authenticity with modern storytelling techniques in documentaries or films?
Oh my god! I saw the documentary on the TV a decade ago!
Awesome Video ❤❤❤❤💥💥💥
As an Assassin's Creed player-fan, this was a huge interesting story. Thank you! ❤
Did that dude just defend terrorists? 19:46
Yes, its impressive. Thats why im here, but the way these people are in awe and are reverent, its like they never considered that these assassins legitimately created and maintained a ruthless cult.
The man who cannot be pictured whom created the cult that became a religion, was a terrorist warlord in his days of the 7th Century,
...it is one of the reasons why many terrorists are from that religion, because that concept is completely allowable and enshrined within its teachings, for those types of humans with that innate mindset.
You mean, kinda like here in America? We like to throw the word “terrorist” around at others as if our government doesn’t fit that word to a T. We are terrorists, we have AND use invasion forces, and our government outright admits it spies on and deceives it citizenry.
Thx, i really enjoyed this video. It teached me more than i knew.
I don’t see the correlation between men who hit a specific target and people who blow up a building of innocent bystanders those two things are inherently different
💯✅️
Huh? Flawed logic. Why? Killing one innocent man is as evil as a room full of innocents. There are no "degrees of malevolence"... the only difference is being a paid mercenary/assassin or a religious zealot.
@@LostInMarxism at no point during that video did they say the assassins was walking around killing innocent people they were in a war that’s not the same as me going into a Walmart or whatever the British equivalent is and setting off a bomb killing thousands of innocent people
The 2 implore a common thing, terror tactics that cause psychological effect.
@@marckennethcabanero7467 but that’s kinda expected between 2 entities that are at war and both know there at war

Problem is you have to keep tacking more to gain the same effect.
It should not be implemented in your normal life.. should only be used as entertainment...
Being sober is still the best option to live
@@RadzeefRamlinope. Sobriety sucks. If I'm stoned, I don't have to deal with people. People make life miserable. I'm happiest when I'm high and walking through the woods. I'd take that over sober human interaction, any day. Maybe when people learn not to be trash, that'll change.
Very WELL done, The actual Truth is revealed
that jujitsu guy really stabbed that dude
I expected Simon whistlers voice and was shocked when it wasn't 😂😂😂😂
We need them now
Political assassins is still in operation
M sleeping n want to watch the visuals too so I'll watch it later.
Great 👍

A TRUE example of what happens when a big nation threatens a small nation ! ... 😊👍 They were small in numbers, but, managed to put fear in the hearts of some of the greatest, and, most powerful nations, of that time !. .. 😊👍
Culminating in the war on insurection freedom fighters..just insertca narco economy sell weapons to em,then call it terror ..and the insertion of the war on drugs and narco economics upon every place they destabilise teach em to sell drugs to the USA youth they are protecting by the war on terror . Let them sell drugs to them so they can sell weapons back to the freedom fighters. .then....whenever they get beyond control..they call them terrorists .a construct .bizzario..suffer apple pie drug users. Collateral..we got concentration camps in Palestine being bombed by boeing,Lockheed Northrup.. Palestine is a USA aircraft carrier.....bunker busting 2 ton bombs on refugee camps. And leveling the land so they can't return to tents. Cus the command centres are all under refugees and hospitals ..wow
Boils my blood the CIA central south America and middle east situation .sell arms to the Saudis so we've got Arabs to fight properly.....teach em opium..same in golden triangle.vietnam. then ..Peru n columbia .noriaga.panama ..Iran..Olie North. The war on drugs and insurection at root is a a war against the American kids they are holding to random on pretext to usher in these 2 false psywar masterclasses. They are the market for the narco economics they installed. All figured into that plan. No conspiracy. .....all bases covered. Simple ones ard best.
That's big country influences small country.. nutshell
One important detail was left out: the practice of being an assassin comes from the Sassanid Persian Empire’s military practices, which was practiced on the Khalif Omar Ibn Khattab by Pirooz Nahavandi, a captured Sassanid military strategist. Iranians globally associate bravery and courage with the Assassination of Omar by Pirooz and celebrate it annually, regardless if you’re Shia or typically agnostic which most Iranians are.
I read this many years ago in a book on the history off hashish.
The young men he recruited were wined and dined, so to speak, well.
They were hash smokers.
Hassan-I-Sabbah Clearly of the Video Games of Assassin Creed was a Famous Game and yet in Fate Stay night of Assassin Class like Hassan-I-Sabbah from it
Older than dark ages.
Still around.
The Sicarii, also known as the Assassins, were a Jewish extremist group of bandits and assassins who opposed the Roman occupation of Judea in the 1st century AD. The Sicarii were a splinter group of the Jewish Zealots who originated around 54 CE. Their name comes from the Latin word sica, which means "poniard" or "curved dagger", and sīcārius, which means "murderer" or "assassin". The Sicarii were known for carrying small daggers, or sicae, hidden in their cloaks and using them to attack Romans and Roman sympathizers in public gatherings. They would then blend into the crowd to avoid detection....
This video brilliantly explores the real-life counterparts to the legendary assassins of the Dark Ages, shedding light on the deadliest special forces of that era. The historical insights and attention to detail make for a captivating watch, offering a fascinating glimpse into the shadowy world of covert operations in medieval times. Kudos to the creators for bringing this intriguing piece of history to life!
They lie about stuff deliberately. They were in egypt and they are arabs! Hassan al sabah is from yemen! There is no Persian state! It was the Seljuks! Who were allies of the Abbasids Arabs in Baghdad!

I didn’t knew London had so many assassins 🔪
They'll be the death of us all. Flood us, rule us, kill us.
This documentary is filled with errors. First of all, his name is Hassan Al Sabbah not Hasani sabah. He is Arab from Yemen from Himyar tribe. Second, the Seljuks are Turks and allies of the Abbasid Arab caliphate. Third, Hassan’s sect were not prosecuted and it wasn’t dangerous to be a shia at that time. The Fatimid caliphate was already there. Its funny how your siding the story to make them seem as victims and that the sunnis were prosecuting them
you are such a loser lol
Do you have a channel coz I want the truth.
Sounds like he said Hassan Al Sabbah at 23:00
Not prosecuted you mean persecuted
@@stylichobecause he did

I'd beg to differ with Si-Fu Julian Hitch with all due respect of course but Hash, of which the main psychotropic component is THC. THC can (not always) INCREASE the user's ability focus. Trust me I've done extensive....wait what was I talking about? Seriously tho there are diminishing returns however. Overuse of any substance is a problem, all things in moderation. Including drug fueled assassinations.
Yeah, but it can also make you paranoid. Not good for an assassin
I love how they have a photo of someone using binoculars. Long before binoculars were invented. Such historical accuracy.
I find this adds to my understanding of the extreme antagonism between Sunni and Shia. The recent attack of IS on Irans funeral followers demonstrates…..it’s still there
When I play this, I take out everyone with a number over their heads. Makes sneaking around easier when everyone is dead.
All that death over silly religious differences, sad. Still fascinating,
That is what middle east are good, bad fanatics terrorist , assassins, all are religous the engine of mid east is religoun even today israels say god promised muslims are saying god promised us
It's control...power.
Never heard of.
I thought the movies were fantasies.
I realise how little I know the world.
It is a story of survival and adaptation. 👍
Interesting fact, the Agha Khan is a descendant of the Old Man of the Mountain. Conrad should have ordered in instead.
Why,?......the war on terror and drugs should be nullified as war legitimisation and public acceptance of war for oil strategic areas. Against peasants. Cus it's saving the white bread psy fodder from scary .and from fear of savage genocidal campaigns. Ie Israel and Russia....and the whole of south a x central America .wherever the CIA go they leave em narco economy to give currency for to purchase guns by s we cling drugs to the USA youth that they are saving from scary. Ie .. insurrection freedom fighters...IE terror. That were taught narco economics by cia so they can fight the insurrection ,sorry. ""terror""..got to get it right. And ...so the world turns ...the war on drugs and terror pyramid scheme ..go figure
Yeah and now the global seat for the nizari ismaili imamate is in Lisbon.

They lie about stuff deliberately. They were in egypt and they are arabs! Hassan al sabah is from yemen! There is no Persian state! It was the Seljuks! Who were allies of the Abbasids Arabs in Baghdad!
@@Bibliotecanataliejust like Arabs love to name the Persian gulf as Arab gulf.. get over the reality man
@@Bibliotecanatalie You are wrong, the area was Shia before the invasion of Seljuks that converted to Sunni Islam in order to justify their occupation of Mesopotamia.
Those that still stayed true to their Shia faith were Persians, and due to risks to their lives they isolated themself in the mountains.
Stop turkifying everything and steal other peoples history, I have even heard turks say that Saladin was a turk, and have recently made a turkish serie about him to brainwash the people into believing that 😂
The whole world knows he is a Kurd, even says so from all the books from his era especially in the biography that his close friend (Beha Ed-Din) wrote in year 1234 mentions this, ask anyone in Egypt and they will know. Why do you think there are so many mosques called al-akrad in the middleeast? Because it means mosques of the Kurds!
It was a persian prince that invited the Seljuk to help him take over the Persian empire for himself from his brother, this lead to the turkic people to get to power after betraying him and stealing the power for themself.
So how can you deny that there were no Persian state?
But I have seen people try to cover up the identity of Kurds, the oldest people tribe in Mesopotamia, and tried to pass them on as "mountain turks" in order to steal their lands, ban their names, language, history and music by oppression and massacres... So I shouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.
Assassin was born in Iran, there are still their castles in Iran
@@BibliotecanatalieThe official and court language of the Seljuk government was Persian, and the Seljuk kings used Persian names even though they were Turks. Names like Ki Khosro and Ki Qabad

Legend says that they dispatch 400 hundred assassins to Mongolia in order to shank the Great Khan. But they failed in their disguises because every single one of them are Arabs and no Asians, so they're all rounded up in a roadside and stomped to death under the horses of a Tumen (a whole Mongol division of 10,000)
Many of them were Iranians, not Arabs, of course there were Arabs among them.

I believe the real reason behind the formation of the Assassins’ cult in Iran was to put an end to the reign of Arab caliphate in Iran and it was a continuation of many other uprisings against the invasion of Arab Muslims in Iran which still is continuing through other forms of movements.
You can also read about Babak Khoramdin and Khorramdinans’ movement with a lot of similarities.
I know the story of Hassan i Sabah very well. What's missing here is the fact, that Hassan had 2 groups of men. One group was smoking Hash, and, when they were high, they were brought into "the gardens of delight" - which they believed, is paradise. Young women, music, - everything. These were the Assassins, the "Hashishins" - but, on duty, dope was nit used. Then Hassan had a second group, which didn't like being soldiers, - who had the capacity for "more" - these were thought in the spiritual ways and secrets. Hassan was a clever man. He knew, whom he can use as an Assassin, and whom he could teach the spiritual ways. But, the Assassins were the active, political killers, a deadly force. That's, what's missing here. Greets. Tom.

Our military is trying to fight hand-to-hand combat, especially the special forces.
Hand-to-hand combat training is an essential component of military training, particularly for special forces units. Special forces personnel often operate in diverse and unpredictable environments where they may find themselves in close-quarters combat situations where firearms or other weapons are not practical or available. Therefore, mastering hand-to-hand combat techniques can be crucial for their effectiveness and survival.
Military hand-to-hand combat training typically includes a variety of martial arts and self-defense techniques tailored for real-world combat scenarios. These may include techniques from disciplines such as Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, judo, boxing, and wrestling, among others.
Training in hand-to-hand combat provides several benefits to military personnel:
Close-quarters combat effectiveness: Soldiers learn how to engage and neutralize threats in close proximity where firearms may not be practical or feasible.
Physical fitness: Hand-to-hand combat training enhances physical fitness, strength, agility, and flexibility, all of which are crucial for military operations.
Confidence and mental resilience: Mastering hand-to-hand combat techniques can boost soldiers' confidence and mental resilience, enabling them to remain calm and focused under pressure.
Versatility: Hand-to-hand combat skills provide soldiers with a versatile set of tools for various combat situations, whether it's urban warfare, hostage rescue, or unconventional warfare.
Non-lethal force options: In certain situations, soldiers may need to use non-lethal force to subdue or restrain adversaries without causing lethal harm. Hand-to-hand combat techniques offer options for such scenarios.
Survival skills: Hand-to-hand combat training equips soldiers with skills that can be valuable in survival situations where they may need to defend themselves without access to weapons or assistance.
Overall, incorporating hand-to-hand combat training into military programs, especially for special forces units, enhances soldiers' overall combat effectiveness, survivability, and mission success.
Assassins Creed documentary before GTA 6
These are my crack!
Since when was Saladin considered a warlord?
Man, i just love these documentaries. They are both informative and told in a story fashion. Just absolutely great!!!!! I just read another comment that said the video is full of inaccuracies. I don't know if that's true or not. In the video there are other people, scholars and people like that that seemed to support the video. I don't see @bibliotecanatalie making any videos. Instead of criticizing shit, why don't you make one that's more accurate! A******!!!!
Can anyone answer this? Was prince of Persia based off the young prince who became the leader after his father was assassinated?
Do you want to know how this righteous man recruited so many devoted followers, incl. Villagers and nomad herdsmen communities who never betrayed him ? Get this secret knowledge: He saved and helped hundreds of orphan children adopting them or placing them in other families, whom had been destroyed by expanding Muslim armies going to and fro all over the countryside, fighting rival factions for power over lands.
The Ismailis were an esoteric sect seeing mystical teachings in the Koran ['batini interperation, means 'inner meaning'] And though not Sufis, could easily imitate Sunni Sufis, as being 'Shia Sufis' since they had all the training in pan occult knowledge.
Their ideas regarding Arab rulers of all sects, who destroy villages when expanding or fighting their rivals, caused this Righteous Man [and his disciples] to decide that to take out the political leaders saves a lot of innocent blood being shed.
Get it ?? This is why many mountian fortresses sprung up over about 200 yrs. - needing support from local villages - because the populace hated the central government.
