very good video my friend . i am greek my self . some facts . greeks = 10.000 persians = 300.000 ( according to herodotus ) spartans exactly 300 . they held 4 about 3 days & fall after the betrayll of ephialtis ( nightmare ) who was a simple sheep herder . not deformed as in the movie . he just wanted money . not a tragic figure . simple traitor . xerxes dispite the movie was very wise & clever . but greeks knew the place better & better generals . leonidas was king of sparta . 2.500 years ago
@hobitcook Most people do not know that when the 300 Spartans had there last stand, there were also 1,000 Athens that chose to fight with him, and perish. Some people disagree about this because "it was not in the movie, 300, that the Athens were cowards and decided to leave." Also, there were more than 300 spartans at the pass, Leonidas had most of his men leave after he knew that he was going to die, his "rest of his 300 spartan army" as-well.
hmm, if that's what I said then thanks for the correction! This battle at Thermopylae took place about 2500 years ago! Nice monument there in Greece, 300 Greek stone workers built it, kind of poetic.
@tatulover01 mate the next thing they will be saying is that they won the battle even tho they werent around back then they always steal glory from the british
@CenturionWarriors Making a piont that you ppl from the USA think your the best and steal glory here is an example you think you won WW1 AND 2 that if it wasnt for you Germany would have won BULLSHIT.
IF IT WASNT FOR THE BRITISH THEIR WOULD BE NO USA, JUST THE NATIVE INDIANS.
For af fact you never won WW2 u screwd up your D-day landings it was the Russians that invaded Berlin with 2 million soldiers and took the Reichstad not the God damn Americans. IVe made my point.
@CenturionWarriors LMFAO at you! I speak the truth Im not saying all Americans are like that but most are and the majority that Ive talked to think it, Im not stupid I speak the truth, USA stole glory from us British no dought about it.
@MAIDENrules100 No i'm not even gonna wast my time with the bull shit that we steal glory from you But you said "IF IT WASNT FOR THE BRITISH THEIR WOULD BE NO USA, JUST THE NATIVE INDIANS." That is a huge load of bull shit have you ever heard of the Revolutionary War we fought you then and then in WWII we had to save you from the NAZIS your welcome
@CenturionWarriors HAHAHAH see you think you needed to save us NO you didnt u sem to think that but we didnt.
OH and actually people from our country went over to America fought the nataive Indanians, then they decided to fight us cus they wanted their own country, Ta da you now have USA.
if i ever went to thermopylae i would spend probaly 2 weeks there! i would like to find the hidden goat path on which zerxes outflanked them. maybe some day i will have a chance to go...
i think he's standing right in the Egeo waters. the Thermopylaes are that piece of mountains

@hobitcook that's not right. There were 800 and they managed it no longer than 6 hours but still a huge achievement.
