[pat25c]

good series, but does anyone remember when the history channel actually showed programs about history, although programs like axe men , pawn stars & ice road truckers are enjoyable & have their merits , their not really history documentary's

[aamato876]

@pat25c I totally agree, i miss the good old shows

[beserk27]

I've read too many things and I've also watched some interesting movies and documentaries about the Barbarians and their chieftains. I reckon that the most bowelless, the fiercest and the most furious Barbarian King in my opinion is Gaiseric due to his quality of being determined to do and achieve anything he wanted. He fail not in any masterplan he got, his only weak point was to raise a progenitor like Huneric who didn't have 0,0001% of the great boldness of his father, the Great Vandal King.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

The Vandals were an East Germanic tribe that entered the late Roman Empire during the 5th century. The Vandals under king Genseric entered Africa in 429 and by 439 established a kingdom which included the Roman Africa province, besides the islands of Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearics. In 455, they sacked the city of Rome. Their kingdom collapsed in the Vandalic War of 533–4, in which Justinian I managed to reconquer the Africa province for the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

The Goth leader Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths and regent of the Visigoths, was allied by marriage with the Vandals as well as with the Burgundians and the Franks under Clovis I.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

The reputation of the Vandals among Renaissance and Early Modern writers was that of the barbarian people which sacked and looted Rome. This led to the coinage of "vandalism", meaning senseless destruction, particularly the "barbarian" defacing of artworks. In modern historiography, the Vandals, like the Goths, tend to be considered continuators rather than violators of Roman culture at the transitional period from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages.

[unfukkkmee]

@SuperGreatSphinx THE BYZANTINES ARE GREEKS.

THE GREEK BELISARIUS DEFEATED THE,  VANDALS

[TheSteveRobinson]

@unfukkkmee Yes, the Byzantines under Belasarius did defeat the Vandals in North Africa, then incorporated a lot of them into his army.

[EZBreezy187]

i bet they liked 'vandalizing' things. AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH HAHAHAHAH HOOOOOOOOO HOOOO HOOOOO HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[bosnianking]

@Rsbrian1 how can that be if persians wore considered Aryan before jesus ?

[Frak98]

The shields and spears arent those of the Late Roman Empire.

[mensch1066]

@Frak98 Well spotted. Too many people (including those who make supposedly educational documentaries) seem to think the Roman legionnaire never changed. By the 5th century, Roman soldiers would have had circular shields and spears supplanting the rectangular shield and the gladius sword.

[H8rH8rMstrb8r]

im tired of learning... im gonna go watch porno

[H8rH8rMstrb8r]

History channel is not very accurate btw...... read academic material if you wanna know fact from fiction.......... vandalism came from when vandals teabagged Rome... besides that they migrated out of europe and settled in africa. from there they raided from time to time, but were rather insignificant.... and if im wrong, then go fuk urself dcause im drunk bich

[H8rH8rMstrb8r]

the vandals teabagged Rome.... i mean sacked

[055697]

why does the narrator sound like he's doing voiceover for a horror movie?

''THEY RAVAGE THE LAND FOR TWO YEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRSSS''

[KammeratGak]

Down with the order! barbarism to come!

[PaxAmericana24]

I guess there really isn't a 'soundtrack' for the barbarians' docu. A shame really. the Music that starts at 2:50 is intense!

[DrMabuse2006]

@forgottenrebel88

Not realy. King Gelimer had send away the bulk of the Vandal warfleet to subdue an uprising on Sicily, which may or may not have been instigated by Justinian. And then Gelimers brother was killed during a scouting mission before the battle. This caused Gelimer to lose heart and pretty much left the Vandal army leaderless and that was the beginning of the end.

[DrMabuse2006]

@forgottenrebel88

I meant that Belisarius was lucky to have beaten them. Belisarius only had about 15000 troops to the vandals +- 30000.

[H8rH8rMstrb8r]

@DrMabuse2006 Belisarius was one of the most capable generals in history.... so suck it bich

[DrMabuse2006]

@forgottenrebel88

But from all accounts that was more luck then anything else.

[Bahutsauvage]

That is one pretty bad documentary.

[STIHLmanful]

haha 1:12 . screw going around the sharp wooden wall! we go OVER it hahha

[pcortes1987]

................... if isnt wasnt for barbarians i wonder how far techological we be today.

fucking dogs.

[antarktyka1]

the Vandals was a mixture of east Germanics and Slavs...this Video is not accurate it's because not all Vandals left central Europe...the first polish kings did call them selfs as the Rulers of all Vandals

[DrMabuse2006]

@antarktyka1

Not Slavs. But there was a small group of Sarmatian Alans with the Vandals when they crossed to north Africa.

[alarik36]

Ik hailsa alla þiudans ins allaim europam. Weiz wiljam haban gafridon himma daga. Ik qima fra Swiareikja.

I greet all people in all europe. We want to have peace today. I come from Sweden.

(I hope I didn´t made any errors grammatically)

[mate169]

When the Vandals raided Rome, they also took the Ancient Menorah of the Temple of King Solomon. This had been removed by the Romans in @ 72 AD after burning the Temple and dispersing the Jewish people throughout the Empire. Belisarius returned it to Justinian in Constantinople after winning the Vandalic Wars. A Jewish Rabbi saw the Menorah in the treasure parade and asked for its return to the Jewish people. Where is it now? No one really knows. No Empire has ever survived while owning it!!!!!

[mate169]

Family line continues this day. Family names Vandal, Vandale, and Vandaele are a continuation of that group. Many found in Belgium, the USA. Catholic Church/Augustinian Order have looked down at us since Augustines death. Imagine repressed refugee people in Central Europe living between the Devil(Atilla) a Rock(Rome), & the Deep Blue Sea. Repression and faith hammer the Will. Will sharpens determination and perseverence. Like Moses/Red Sea, God Froze the Rhine.Spanish Andalusia was Vandalusia.

[eidius1989]

@Rsbrian1 no you moron they became christians WAY WAY after. wtf are you saying?

[Waterflux]

Perhaps driving the Vandals all the way down to Southern Spain was not such a good idea! If you have a group of desperate and pissed off people, give them shipbuilding and seafaring skills .... watch out! :D

[SuperTravis898]

@Waterflux to true, the best diea is NOT to piss off the german poeple, espacally if there tall, strong angry men that want revenge on you.

[cartoonkingforeever]

@SuperTravis898 you do not fuck with Germanic tribes they fuck with you

[xxGhostXIIIxx]

thus the phrase Vandalism

[crimsondragoon999]

@xxGhostXIIIxx

thank you captain obvious! xD xD

[xxGhostXIIIxx]

@crimsondragoon999 ;3 anytime XD

[DonWoschto]

@xxGhostXIIIxx And the land Andalusia.

[TheSteveRobinson]

@DonWoschto Not many peple realize that Andalusia comes from the Vandals in Spain. Good for you!
