  • phalanx ftw

    that tactic is famous

  • 61 people can't comprehend the EPIC-ness of the song and video.

  • @TheDavidedmond fuck no, . did you even saw the movie?

  • what is this song ? its really good..

  • @dunavidrava no need to tell me,i found out xD

  • laggy

  • (some people are really illiterate in terms of history, anthropology and sociocultureal evolution, yet they still insist to have a view.... let us wait the answer from this guy who thinks Americans (the greatest melting pot ever on earth look like their... partial ancestors and Greeks - living in a small, mountainous (and anything else than a melting pot) region - do not look like their ancestors.

    Well maybe Greek ancestros were Ethiopians or Norwegians then! Here we go!

  • @notgodsemigod I already gave you a link explaining it. You conveniently ignored it. Here's another:

    3xW . historyking . com /Ancient-Greece / Ancient-Greece-Influence-On-Am­erika . h t m l

  • Pretending to read history is one thing. Getting real knowledge is another!

  • And how is it possible that on every single place ancient Greeks established in great numbers we see today still only one and only one type of people : the "Mediterranean", i.e. the "Greek-looking".

  • gun weiledrs have no will....thy dont have honour...no moral...all they know is just shoot shoot shoot....on the other hand...the sword weilder...has an will as hard as the iron of wich is made his sword...he has honour...and moral principles hed rather die than break...so tell me now?whos the REAL winner?the gunman or the swordsman?most of youll say that the gunman cuz hed survive...well...survive...wit­h no honour?most ppl would rather die than lose it:)

  • Forget all this talk about swords and guns, the real form of battle was hand to hand were their is less chance of a man dieing but the winner and victor is still produced, death should be avoided, life was and is to short to throw away so why do people march into wars, still great respect to the un-named warriors past/present who were forgotten yet they were so important.

  • swords are better than guns in my opinion it shows the true test if your a man no dis respect againts the millitary swords and shields are more veasitile dont start putting hate on my message if you agrre thumbs up if not just keep to your self

  • @TheGhostKing123 guns are for pussies. even a paralyzed woman can shoot someone

  • @TheGhostKing123 guns take more skill than most people realize.

  • could you have picked a shittier song?

  • ancient greece versus maharloka

  • yeah turisas rules man

  • manofwar :DDDDD how about the archers?+ it was about strength too. it's skill and accuracy now too.. the fastest and most accurate wins when it's man to man.

    or at close battle. what do you think it is about? the guns? i dont think so :)

  • Strength means absolutely nothing when fighting! It's all about speed and technique. You can be able to break through a rock wall with your finger, but if you aren't quick enough to block a sword thrust, you're just as dead as anyone.

    Secondly, the guns are everything. You give the best trained soldier a gun that jams and you give me a pump action hunting shotgun at close range, and whose going to win? Sure it takes skill to fire a gun accurately, but that doesn't mean it's not cowardly.

  • @ManofWar55: Hello ManofWar. I accept your opinion, but I think, strength IS important. When you block a sword strike you must do it powerful enough or the sword strike will hit you despite of your parry. Oh and don't forget is sword is HEAVY. It takes strength to hold it up through the fight.

  • a duel is a lot more honurable when you use swords. Like the spartans thought i think ranged weapons are cowardly

  • Ajax just throws that poor dude lol

  • love the boat scene with Ajax :D

  • @DarkCrusader7 indeed 

  • i thought achilles would look diffrent then that... he has long hair lol

  • why did they waste ammo on that invincible shield wall in the first place??

  • a normal shield was made from wood, so even if they couldn´t destroy em the spears went through an made the shields to heavy to carry them

  • 50人就搶灘成功!?

    太扯了~

  • music sounds like final fantasy

  • my friend

    nice video but what is the program that u used it when u wrote achilles immortalety ?

    plz tell me and thx

  • He didn't write the song...

  • The music is badass,the power riffs,chorus chanting.Pretty cool.

  • 5 ESTRELLAS!!!!!=)

  • BATTLE METAL!

  • great music! great film! Poor editing though... sorry! But there is absolutely no link between the music and the film...

  • battle metal - Turisas

  • What song is this?

  • what is your source? that the trojans were greek

  • 'insafbe' ur an idiot turk! before you mongols came to the region Greece was ruling those lands for thousands of years...just to add my comment too!!

  • The film is horrible (read any popular version of the Iliad and you will understand what I say...). The song is nice, but has nothing to do with Troy, Achilles, Greece and the like.

  • Good movie & Good music:)

  • Battles were meant to be fought sword and sword. It was the man most skilled who could dominate, not the one with the biggest magazine and bullet. Agree?

  • @ManofWar55 battles were meant to be won by any means. There are really no warriors that are noted in history, only the kings and victors. Glory usually comes to the ones who least deserve it.

  • @ManofWar55 What sword battles have you been in?

    None.

    The Illiad talks much of lowly cowards killing great heroes. So they must have died as randomly.

  • @IDNeon. Aren't you just ridiculously intelligent? Fuck off asshole.

  • @ManofWar55 Well not really. Some people are born to fight and follow orders. Some people are born to plan and command.

  • @TAC412. What does that have to do with sword or guns?

  • @ManofWar55

    agree ^^

    

  • @ManofWar55 well tech advances now tell me who would win a man with a sword or a gun. you bring your sword ill bring my mp5 and well see warg1

  • @WolveZGuY guns are coward weapons, sword and shield rules XD

  • @VampireMech LOL back in the sword and shield days not too long ago people probz said swords are pussy weapons lets fight with bare hands lmao that rules.

  • @ManofWar55 all wars should be fought like they were of old no jets no tanks no artillery no guns man vs man sword vs shield archers vs cavalry if wars were fought like that da U.S.A wouldnt be super power EUROPE and SCANDANAVIA would.

  • @konnod321. Well, I'm from the USA, so let's leave countries out it.

  • @ManofWar55 didnt mean it in bad way just meant america has never fought combat with swords and shields

    if ya get me

  • @konnod321. Well they fought with bows, arrows, spears, long knives, etc. But no hard feelings dude!

  • @konnod321 With sword and shield Greek fuck all of Europe combined...

    Greeks hold the world's record of smallest armies facing the greatest armies and that even well into the gunpowder era.The world record is a siege of a hotel defended by 118 Greek rebels encircled by 8,000 Ottoman infantry & 1000 cavalry. Greeks killed about 400 of them, gravely wounded another 800 and so the Ottomans had to wait for canons. But Greeks escaped in the night though enemy ranks losing on total about 6 men.

  • @notgodsemigod So Thermopyles and the 300 (who were 300+700) are far from being any achievement for Greeks... it was more one of the usual..

    That should teach you why world powers are so anxious not to see Greeks bossing around again and why they do everything possible to keep them down by forced imposed foreign governments and such. They fear Greek dick (though their women love it... well what can we do?).

  • @notgodsemigod The greeks of those times have since long been interbred and have died out. Greeks from now are mixed with several european countries and from the middle-east, since the saracens conquered and held greece for a very long time.

  • @ElmerAwesome This is far too abstact and vague especially when modern Greeks are day and night different with their nothern European neighbours (the Slavs and Albanians) as well as vastly different to the average Turk (original Turks were mongolic-like, modern Turks derive from islamified christians of Minor Asia, evidently some Greeks in there too but that has nothing to do with Greeks themselves, unless the existence of Jamaicans means that modern English are descendants of Africans...)

  • @ElmerAwesome Then you fail to explain why Greeks look similar to Italians... do you claim that """"Saracens"""" passes from there and left their trace too? Quite of easy excuse isn't it? Saracens passed from England and Holland too for your information.

    The reality is that Greeks and South Italians had a drastically different history with South Italians never having to deal with any Slavic or Turkish invasion, yet they remain the closest human population to Greeks of today.

    Explain this.

  • @notgodsemigod My point was that ancient greeks do not exist anymore today.

    Modern greeks are completely different.

    You just proved my point, thank you

    I don't need to go into details

  • @ElmerAwesome You talked of proof and there is non other than the fact that you know nothing of history and even less of ethnology and anthropology. Ancient Greeks did not suicide. I also ignore any point in history were any other nation came to Greece and replaced Greeks. When did that happen? And why Greeks are still looking like South Italians?

    Do not expect any answers from you, your ignorance is radiating!

  • @notgodsemigod You already proofed my point that the ancient GReeks as known then don't exist anymore. There isn't 1 "people" left on the earth; theire all pretty much mixed. THis counts most for europeans.

    Also I study history and you obviously don't so be carefull of what you say.

    I never said ancient greeks commited suicide and it has nothing to do withg the discussion.

    An anthropology article proofing that southitalians are mixed

  • @ElmerAwesome If you believe there isn't 1 people left on earth that is your point of view but since you spoke of history can you pintpoint to me when on earth did Greeks disappear? Did they suicide or something? And who did establish there?

    And above all, why on earth Greeks are so different so their nothern neighbours and why are they so different to their eastern neighbours too (apart those Turks derived from muslimifications of hellenophone christian populations)? How is this explained?

  • @notgodsemigod I don't "believe" that, it's a biological and historical fact. Look it up as i've asked you bevore.

    The Greeks didn't dissapear; they mixed with other peoples.

    Americans don't look like chineze. But they do like like British. There is no "american" and there is no "greek"; that's merely to identify then with the nation. Theire blood has been mixed centuries ago with several other people's. THe correct term to identify them with is "Latins" by the way ;-) not Greeks.

  • @ElmerAwesome A fact? And you studied ancient, medieval and modern Greece? Really? So how did it change? Inform me so that I know. You say Americans look like British (all of them? obviously you mean only those with most of their origins there). And then you go on to say that Greeks of the present do not look like Greeks of the past. Really? Did not know Greece had become a melting pot!!! When did that happen?

    Tell me what kind of populations mixed with Greeks? When, where and how!

  • @notgodsemigod I don't owe you an explanation for all of that. You cling by a theory that has been disproven after WW2. There is no such thing as human races or people's nationality divided by where they life. You can google that yourself.

    Also you are extremely childish talking to yourself. You prove you have little experience with adult discussions since you degenerate yourself going into cheap mockery and offences.

    A good day to you.

  • @ElmerAwesome I did not offend and do not need to offend you when you are offensive to yourself by showing your total lack of capacity for logical thinking. I like as a hobby to commend illiterate people like yourself in youtube instead of watching football. But no I won't be following your links of pure junk. The net is full of junk, that is known, I do not need your shit to prove it.

    You ignore the existence of nations, tribes you can ignore thus history itself. That is your problem.

  • @notgodsemigod You did degenerate yourself into using offences. Look it up.

    A GREEK himself just admitted his people was mixed on this page.

    Perhaps you should.... stop?

  • @ElmerAwesome A Greek himself just admitted... what kind of bullshit is that? You wanna use this faggot stupidity of yours as an argument or what? By the way, question, did you finish primary school or not cos in the latter case I will understand you total lack of capacitty to think logically.

    The world is full of leftish people whose only aim is to fight the idea of the nation and as it happens in all countries, Greece too has such idiots. So why is anyone supposed to take them seriously?

  • so just go back to the library and start reading something for a change. It is never late, you live and learn...

  • @notgodsemigod I stopped reading after the first sentence were you said "faggot stupidity" and I realised your just a pissed of teenager.

    I'm glad the host removed the bulk of our comments.

    You say the Greek was wrong, I am wrong, the studies I've sent you are wrong. And you give no evidence at all to proof yóu are right, only questions.

  • @ElmerAwesome A ! You like to play the serious dear? You say to have presented studies, what studies dear? What studies? Historyking? WTF is that tacky site? Go get yourself some proper education before getting the ambition to talk on such issues. And youtube or any other tacky site is not science so do not try to play it serious when you are being based on such "knowledge foundations". Now get the fuck out of here, people wanna talk about Achiles not your own inner insufficiencies.

  • @notgodsemigod I said I'd stop this conversation if you couldn't stop talking like a teenager. Again your first sentence betrays you. A grown man wouldn't degenerate himself into mockery.

    I gave you plenty sites, what did you give me? Nothing. Stop ignoring my questions and posting more of your own. And stop having such a big mouth where is your dignity.

  • @ElmerAwesome Little faggot, you are not going to play the serious now, you have done your gay thingie by giving as """"proof""" the historyking site - for which it goes withoutsaying that it has absolutely nothing to do with any serious effort to present any historic fact whatsoever... You even claim - like a faggot you are - that I ignore your questions. On the contrary I went to the sites you read and, here you are!, You are a victim of propaganda but that is normal for a faggot like you.

  • @notgodsemigod racialreality 110 mb italians < google that. Can't post links in youtube.

  • Comment removed

  • @ManofWar55 lol we should go back to fighting with sword like the Greeks did 3000 years ago just because it's more fun!

  • good nice cool

  • wow you guys are geeks...good song though

  • Comment removed

  • O KAIROS GAR EGGYS !!!

  • still we set the foundations of todays civilisation and technology and besides we didnt fall back on our own we were dragged back by the othoman empire but the time is near.......

  • when we the greeks developed astronomy mathematics and put the bases for every scientific field and shaped the todays societys all the others where climbing trees and eating peanuts so dont talk like you know so many things because most of the things you learn to your universities are based on the works of ancient greek philosofers and scientists

  • well in the past we were the guys climbing in trees and eating peanuts, but today you guys are doing it :J

  • The peanut, or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), is a species in the legume family (Fabaceae) native to South America, Mexico and Central America. It is an annual herbaceous plant growing to 30 to 50 cm (1 to 1.5 ft) tall. ;) ;) ;)

  • Comment removed

  • because as a matter of fact all weapons are brutal.

  • XAIRE ARXAIA ELLADA

  • Ancient battles are so cool :(

  • Using guns is so cowardly..

  • Not really. It's just far more sensible. Why get close enough for your enemy to kill you unless you have to?

  • its for pussies who cant fight, unless your at war and need it to safe your life

  • Tell that to Richard Sharpe.

  • just as obi wan kenobi said after using a gun: "So uncivilized"

  • Whereas dismembering somebody and giving them a moment of heartstopping terror as they see a blade about to fall on them is civilized?

  • well, blades used to be carried by civilians and army back then. as for guns today only the army carries them and a few thieves. Back then you could'nt just go around stealing and threatning with your blade, because somebody that carried one would have put you in your place. You cannot do that with guns today, it would be a very rare case that the victim carries a gun as well... that is why swords were (still) are more civilized

  • That's why thieves used to sneak into houses and kill everyone inside. Or they'd have a sword and armour and be in a group. The fact they're killing people brutally isn't changed by the fact other people have a greater change of killing them too.

  • look dude being a civilized weapon, doesnt mean it hasnt have to be brutal

  • Then how can it be civilized?

  • guns, knives, swords. All weapons are civilized because they belong in a highly developed society. Its just that because of the reason i explained to you before, the swords was more* civilized

  • So "civilized" to you just means it exists in a developed society? That's absurdly shallow.

  • here's the definition for civilized: Adj. 1. civilized - having a high state of culture and development both social and technological. it does not just mean to me.

  • Correction, there's "a definition for civilized." And if that is your only definition then it still in no way proves swords to be more civilized than firearms.

  • just because firearms are the latest technology on warfare doesnt mean they are more civilized. Civilization is mostly based on Society and Its culture than technology. The sword has been used by many civilizations for thousands and thousands of years, even to this day. Enough to make it the most civilized.

  • A civilized weapon is a weapon that kills efficiently and without undue harm. In this way, guns are far superior to swords. The prevalence of swords is irrelevant and to claim it is relevant is a fallacy.

    Although there are many definitions of civilized, it would be uncommon for someone to say a weapon that kills efficiently and without undue harm is less civilized than a weapon that often requires many blows and incurs, often, far more terror whilst often killing slowly.

  • "a civilized weapon is a weapon that kills eficiently and without undue harm"? dude do you even know what does the word "civilization" mean.

  • Yes. One of the distinguishing characteristics of "good" development in civilization is that it is efficient and does not cause undue harm - such as an electric car or an apartment building. Each one has been called enormous developments in human development and obviously a characteristic of civilization. So I am correct, an efficient weapon is a useful weapon, like an apartment complex is useful for housing, and it doesn't cause undue harm, like an electric car.

  • hahaha are you serious? look , when you find out what the word "civilization" really means we will continue our conversation, later.

  • I know what the word means, I'm studying classical civilizations and classics in university, you are the one with a shallow conception of what "civilization" can mean. Whole books have been written on the topic.

  • Nice video.

    And I won't say that 'Achilles wasn't immortal' because I'm quite sure that has already been pointed out.

  • i think it means to be immortal is to never be forgotten, not the actual definition

  • NAME OF THE SONG?

  • battle metal by turisas

  • what the heck you all are talking about? Let's just enjoy this brilliant music video, not talking shit. I suspect we all know who Achilleus was and that he killed many men :)

  • Do you imagine what will happen if his tomb was found and if somehow he was cloned.

  • He was creamated(wrong spelling?).

  • lol

    Creamated, meaning smothered in cream....

    I hope it was whipped...

  • if you dont like the music/movie

    DO NOT watch it

  • agreed

  • yeah, i agree :D

  • Hear me, my warriors

    soldiers from all the edges of the world

    let us join our forces

    to an army, UNITED!!!.

  • good good exelent gran videon

  • brat pitt fighting style was great for this movie playing achilles. his persona was one of brains over brawn mentality. He used terrain and unorthadox fighting to defeat his oppenents on the battle field. I really feel achilles fought like this back in the day.

  • Im currently doing a seminar on achilles - the historical and mythical features that he has been in placed in. You cannot say that achilles was a great hero considering what most we know of him comes from literature in which a great deal of allusion takes place

  • Could you tell me what is historical and mythical about achilles?

  • his immortality, he was the hero of the trojan war, he killed a shitload of men, he kicked ass, he was just the greatest warrior who lived if you challenged him to a sword fight he could kill you in 1 swing, because he was called the swift runner, becasue of his amazing speed and it says in the book he fought like the gods

  • Ummm.. immortal mean he couldn't die. And theres no real immortality except god. And Achilles just invincible.

  • yeah, i know, he had a really distinctive way in which he moved, which his cousin was able to mimic to convince achilles' soldiers that he was achilles

  • @fraggelroxx. sure brad pitt had a good fighting style but i dont think any human of today can exactly copy their actual fighting style.

  • It is like to say that 300 wasn't realistic enough -- it was never intended to be. The same with Troy - the is not about copying the actual fighting style. Maybe you should do some research first and learn about people's intentions than put a lame remark on something you know little about, to make yourself feel better.

  • what is your problem navelele. 300 was realistic and it was meant to be, i think you need to do some research dumbass. what do you know about the spartans anyway, they fight that way. it was done magnificently, their style was imitated outstandingly. you idiot. it was called the battle at thermopolye and it was real. so dont tell some other guy to do research IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. honestly, arrogance.

  • TURISAS IS METAL

    PURE WIN

  • no editing and a terrible song, u deserve no praise for this....

  • how can you dare say that Battle Metal of the great Turisas is a terrible song ?!?!?!

    are you a little posh that only listen pop and rap? you little asshole!!

  • hahaha slipknot, one my fave bands... i know rock, i kno metal and i kno editing. This had none of em. 100% terrible vid please reomove it from this world!!!

  • piękne 5

  • turisas sing it?

  • achiles fights bogeylicious!
