Armies of the ancient world

[ktintin2010]

What about the Islamic empire power, they finished two Large empired with the strength of faith.

[PolizeiGestapo]

Kingbigdawg9 I agree with you, my ancestors found Germany 1300bc by trebeta son of king ninos step son of shamiran and also Ashur found Germany as well. The Assyrians and the Jews migrated into Europe Jews went to Britian and the Assyrians to Germany Austria and maybe Norway and Denmark. Even Thor the norway God is God Ashur with a hammer and the chariots. Thor and Ashur means Thursday in Assyrian. Good you know our history. Peace

[karteorhan]

@PolizeiGestapo but oden or odin or wodan is known as leader of tirkiar tribe. runes are known to be originated in north europe only but there were surely more in asia. sumerians have so many common words with turkic languages. and asian people known by greates horse riders and metal workers of all time. sycthian and sarmatian bow is originally central asian bow. u all come from us

turks are odens!!

[PolizeiGestapo]

GermanWarrior22 I agree with you, I'm an Assyrian myself and yes we are not Arabs we are Semetic people the first well advanced civilized people. Peace

[PolizeiGestapo]

Go Assyrians

[TheRedDeadNerd97]

Yeah.

[kingbigdawg9]

honestly your all idiots trying to find an answer and when some one has an answer your deny and insult

[AdalDrottinn]

You stupid fucks! Haha dont put words in my mouth! I NEVER SAID ASSYRIANS ARE ARABS! So please stop replying to me and sending me pm on this.

How does me quoting CSI MIAMI make me think that Assyrians are Arabs? WTF? xD I personaly think Assyrians ar NOT Arabs... So... xD

[akkadianarab]

LONG LIVE THE ASSYRIANS

[Fravahar]

typical europeanracist you have censured the best military cavalry of old world the iRANIANS parthian and sassand catphracts the elite cavalry of ancient world, who fighted over 900 years against rom and east rom

[Blindanddumb]

@Fravahar i think sarmatians count as iranian people.

[SteelWool91]

@Fravahar Wow, don't get all bent out of shape. I originally planned to make a follow up series featuring other nations but I never got around to it. If you think these civilizations deserve the amazing respect only a Youtube mention can give, you should do it yourself, and if not? You got no right to cry like a bitch. BTW how am I a European Racist if I featured the Assyrians and Sarmatians?

[HunHorda]

@SteelWool91 where are the magyars?

[trueschoolmetal]

@Fravahar WHITE POWER FOREVER! 88

[goran21715]

[goran21715]

I hope anyone who watches this video notes that it faces, the faces of the Bedouin, or the faces of the Yemeni and clothes the same clothes that they wear these days, Yemenis, and bare feet and a black face and black curly hair. Video showing their origin and desert nomads and they really were invaders, and took the upper Mesopotamia, but they were strangers to Mesopotamia extinct after the fall of an empire

[GenMata]

@goran21715 English isn't your first language is it?

[goran21715]

@GenMata ofcourse its fourth language . l thing is not wise question my native or mother language is kurdish

[GenMata]

@goran21715 I questioned it only because your English is terrible and confusing.

[Persianos82]

@XRostamDastanX

Yeah idd, a lot of pics of the persians in both Assyrians aswell aswell as the Sarmatians

[nilliterto]

vikings forced their way in LOLX

[scorpian8king]

[extrememark13]

[a09tma]

u put the pictures of Iranian/Persian fighters under other names? why?

[PakistaniShaheen]

Great video. I made a similar one but it's not as good as yours.

[nikecordovilla]

08:57 This IS a Roman SolDierS!!

[ImperialGuard9001]

@nikecordovilla Consediring that most of the Roman Army were Germanic by this era I would say is fine

[ruben3198]

we need to make russia,and armenia

[fas852]

What time period are you talking about when you say ancient? All these people look muslim or semetic.

[ViruzNoob14]

@fas852 This is before Islam, Einstein. 

[adycob2000]

some pictures have warriors the have the wolf banner! those warriors are from Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior from the balcan recions! you put them as germanic tribes when in fact they are thracian tribes! thy are the Dacians! Interesting video!

[EnforcerAnderson]

8:58 are byzantines and also other mistakes

but nevertheless entertaining work

[falloutintohell]

to much europe

[SteelWool91]

@falloutintohell *puts on sunglasses* deal with it..

[falloutintohell]

@SteelWool91 Eat a dick most of those armies arnt acient in the first place dumbass.

[AdalDrottinn]

@SteelWool91 YYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH .. dudududu dudududu.. We dont get fooled again...

[GermanWarrior22]

@AdalDrottinn Assyrians were not arab! Get smart you fool!

[AdalDrottinn]

@GermanWarrior22 LOL where did I say that?

[GermanWarrior22]

@AdalDrottinn Err...I have Assyrian friends you dumb ass. Many here in Germany. They are not Arab they speak Assyrian/Aramaic. They have also been invaded by Roman/Greek empires they are mixed in genetics. Look up DNA facts. You would actually know if you had decent history books too, but hell, you Americans are dumber then...nevermind.

[kingbigdawg9]

@GermanWarrior22 easy their buddy we never got invaded and our dna sure as HELL isnt mixed ....you have no proof of that ....you being german is the closest thing to being "Assyrian" Dutchelands first inhabitant was Ninos son of Shamiran theres stone relief in your country that dates back before all of europe to prove it

[GermanWarrior22]

@kingbigdawg9 sorry one thing you can read is a book called genology by Danile J. Addams it is conducted on tests done by vast majority of researchers. Everyone has mixed blood, and it is proven that the DNA sampled by Assyrian string of DNA was taken and proven that the people if not 75% are mixed I am not saying you dont have Assyrian blood. It is mixed. And yes you have been invaded. By Persia, Greeks, and many other Kingdoms. The only blessing is you did not

[GermanWarrior22]

convert to Arabism because what do you call present day iraq? An Arab occupied land. And yes, I have been to Trier and although I hate Hitler He himself stated the Germans have Sumerian, Akkadian blood.

[MrDevilnote]

@falloutintohell THATS WHAT SHE SAID



[falloutintohell]

@MrDevilnote LOL It seems like you don't know how to use a proper joke. sad sad

[clouduiss]

you forgot thor

[keube666]

I sometimes wonder if i am a decendant of the Gaul the Germannic or celtic tribes.

I also want to go and see the statue of Vercingetorix, does anyone know excactly where it is? it should be somewhere in France, near Paris.

[Silentbob515]

@keube666 As far i know the holland was for long time sanctuary of the truly last barbaric germans.Or better say they are mentioned in the First Crusade chronicles as canibals and early christianized.However they also participate in first crusade.So i believe you are descendant of the Germans:).But there is question how much your germanic ancestors are the same germans who come to touch with celts and romans.

[Silentbob515]

@keube666 Because new various german tribes somehow manage to apper from nowhere in the east.For example Goths was nothing like the germans who fight in teutoburg forrest.Better say u are descendant of pre-medieval something like german.Because all germans around holland start to catch their national identity centuries before inhabitants of holland.Comparable to minnor slavic tribes in north and east germany with same fate..fully germanized:).

[wolfgang911]

@Silentbob515 caucasian mummies from 2000 BC found in the steppes had blond hair and wore only but wool woven tissues comparable to modern day "scottish" cloth, no fur not skins already

Finno-Ugrians are NOT germanics; they're not even Indo-Europeans.

[actr808]

song list please :D

[narekjuu]

4.25 is an armenian warrior fighting for west armenia

[diliprai]

watch this video --> "Kiratas:the Himalayas Race"

The Scythians(Aryan) used to call Mongoloid people as Kirat. Kirat fought the Aryan invasion into Himalayas.

[MrYuusufdheere]

@diliprai scythians were mixed both aryans and mongoloid races the reason which made them to unite was they were both pastural people and they shared same believe, they had common enemies like persia, china and etc.according to Russian archiologist they discovered graves of scythians, some were aryans and some were mongoloid or turkomongloid people. that is evidence. another evidence is that they all central asian people wether mongloid, aryan they had same culture and used same tactic of fight.

[MrYuusufdheere]

Where are the Romans where are the Spartans where Are the Mecadonians where are the Huns Many are missing.

[MrYuusufdheere]

That man who is taking the spear and the shield inthe Assyrian site is not Assyrian But Persian, even though you can tell to the ignorants is Assyrian even though if you tell some christian is jesus Christ with spear and shield they can believe you. I am talking about the man of 01:53

[G33KN3rd]

@MrYuusufdheere hmmm how do you know he wasn't an Assyrian who was incorporated in the Persian army? Persians took every nationality in their army

[MrYuusufdheere]

@G33KN3rd Because It is evident in historic walls the dress and the shield he is taking is not an Assyrrian design But Persian. the Assyrian shied was rounded similar disign to that of babylonians. Anyway Assyrian where excellent warriors.

[MrYuusufdheere]

This video is Bullshit where is the Nubians where are the Babyloneans where are the Persians where are the Huns.

[IanHunedoara8]

While Kyrgyz and Uighur will argue that Scythians were a Mongolian people with epicanthric eye-folds wer'e waiting for some frozen Siberian mummies to turn up and close the file on the arguments

[Cyricist001]

The Germanic people rule! But the music was not epic enough.

[samioa]

1:54 is a persian warrior, you can see it by his shield & cloths

[Rafaelchecalavera]

good job.

[MrYuusufdheere]

@Rafaelchecalavera what is Good job? where are the Huns?

[Rafaelchecalavera]

on the prairies.

[Ace4Tree1]

Nice collection & the last piece of music was more appropriate & less overwhelming.Is the implication that Amazons are Sarmatian a fact ? Some of the words I couldn't read unfortunately.It's nice to get a glimpse of ancient warriors as it helps decoding images & stories from the past.But how accurate are they ? Is Angus Mc Bride accurate & which are his drawings ? There are some excellent drawings,but are they merely an artist impression,a payed assignment or did the artist go to the maximum ?

[05candyman]

how could you leave out the great egyptian empire or the very great persian empire, or the Chinese empire or the roman empire or even the greek empire????????? like the persian empire ha the largest ancient empire why are they not in here and the romans were all so very big??? this vid sucked!!!

[G33KN3rd]

@05candyman the Assyrians were the first empire on earth with a standing army, at the time, Assyria was also the first superpower, the Persian empire wasn't even that powerful, just because they were big doesn't mean they were strong. Roman empire fell from barbarians and not professional armies from a different nation....

plus, Assyria destroyed the Egyptian empire, then the Babylonians fought back the Egyptians, then Persia took it over, and so on and so forth.

[MrYuusufdheere]

@G33KN3rd Assyrians never fought Egyptian Empire but it was the Cushites who were in Egypt(Egypt where Under Cushites)they managed to drive cushites out of Egypt But they did not take Cush.

[G33KN3rd]

@MrYuusufdheere actually, the Assyrians did take Cush or Kush

[MrYuusufdheere]

@G33KN3rd Assyria never take Cush. show me evidence From historic book.Cush was was always Cushites where the only army that resisted to become under Roman rule also.

[G33KN3rd]

@MrYuusufdheere look at any map of the Assyrian empire.

[MrYuusufdheere]

@G33KN3rd I looked They end up in Egypt not beyond so that it is evident they have not bieng in cush. look at wiki the Green and the light grean is the Assyrian empire. where which site you saw that Cush was part of Assyrian Empire?

[ImperialGuard9001]

@G33KN3rd Roman Empire didnt fell it colapse those "barbarians" were actualy in ranks of the Roman Army the last Emperor of Western Roman Empire for example was deposed by a Germanic "General" of the Roman Army. So in sense they were "professional" since they serve in Roman Army

Assyria didnt destroid Egypit it dominated it but had few control over it and when Egypcians recover they actualy were allies it as Egyptians that came to aid Assyria in last stand against babylonia and iranian tribes

[emokiller907]

The Vikings were pussies when compared to the Scythian Aryans of Asia

[MrAmethystium]

@emokiller907 Scythian Aryans in Lithuania also made Vikings to look like pussies, so instead they tried to be friendly. Even now you can find Lithuanian/Sarmatian weaponry in Scandinavia which was held by Scandinavians as great gifts.

[Nightmonkey17]

These are all barbarian armies! Needs more Greeks and Romans! And Persians!

[G33KN3rd]

@Nightmonkey17 don't call my ancestry barbarians, they had the worlds first standing army, plus, didn't you see the huge wooden tank at 0:51 ? barbarians didn't have that....

[diliprai]

These Aryans migrated and invaded into ancient India where they made slaves(dalits) of local population.

Then some Aryans also invaded into Himalayas region including Nepal.

check this video==> "Kiratas: the Himalayas Race"

and

"sakela~the greatest festival of Kirat people"

and you discover more about early human civilization and culture before the Aryan invaded and broke down the Kirat civilization in the Himalayas.

[MrColuber]

These images make me miss Angus McBride.

[SteelWool91]

@MrColuber I hear you, that man was one of my idols...

[thecelticwarlord]

@SteelWool91 love this well done., Angus mcbride is an inspiration to all artists, thank you for showing his work off.

[vlad9vt]

@MrColuber you Angus McBride ??? Just one question why your germans not realistic . why Germans are not in the skins of fur and animal skins.

In those ancient times, tissues actually was not in Germany -but it looks like you, this fact is not known

i mean about germans from period 500 b/c to 500-600 a.d.

[ImperialGuard9001]

@vlad9vt They werent Germans. There were no Germans in Ancient History. These Germanic are reaslistic you think Germanic always look the same? First Germanic were several tribes not all wear the same type of cloths and second like all peoples they evolued in migration period for example many Germanic Warrios wear the same type of armor weapons and used the same type of tactics like Roman Army many were soldiers in that army like the Goths

[Gegart88]

@MrColuber

he is greatest illustrator

Celtic power :)

[0mp0y]

Great pics. Thanks for posting.

[SteelWool91]

@0mp0y No problem

[MRELTUCO2]

@SteelWool91 Hey where can I get the first song from?Basil one of riddle of steel but your version not the mainstream one.Thanx and great video I have a few videos of Iberian and CeltIberians.

[helpdonate1]

I would love to have a time machine to see those old civilizations and the different tribes.

[SteelWool91]

@helpdonate1 That would be pretty awesome....

[SternMann93]

I wonder how you left out the romans, greeks/macedonians etc.?

[SteelWool91]

@SternMann93 The video was 11 minutes long, but I probably could have fit them into 30 seconds...

[ZecaPinto1]

the vikings where germanic too?

[SteelWool91]

@ZecaPinto1 No they're from Minnesota....

[ZecaPinto1]

Yeah right and I am Santa Claus

[SteelWool91]

@ZecaPinto1 I know, you forget that I myself am the easter-bunny

[ZecaPinto1]

Vikings where´nt germanic they even are not in the goup of germanic peoples

[ZecaPinto1]

If you have doubts, do a search on wikipedia for the list of Germanic peoples

[BataviNL]

@ZecaPinto1

The Vikings were not a race genius

Viking means warrior, merchant, and pirate

The Danish,Swedish,Norwegians are known as Viking descendents.

[ZecaPinto1]

I´m not saying they are a race but a people.

[BataviNL]

@ZecaPinto1

but still Germanic peoples.

[Belizaris]

@SteelWool91 hahahahahaha good one. Zeca if you have problem with who is who always you can use wikipedia :)

[ZecaPinto1]

05:37 that´s the battle of Clontarf!

[Illidanee]

Celts and Scythians rulz!

[OmnipotentUnknown]

[iamageek1000]

nice use of conan music :)

[ignisacimpetus]

if i am not wrong the assyrians and the scythians look very much like the panjabis in modern day pakistan and northern india.

[Hippiemoose911]

I like the Assyrians, they were brutal because they put prisoners in dens of lions!

[earthwormjim3D]

1:55 is a Persian warrior from Elam.

[THEKINGS001]

[zagtaga]

[versmex87]

mmmm not all the images belomg to the cultures you placed them in, anyways great video, great music

[SteelWool91]

@versmex87 yeah I have been made aware of that....hundreds of times but thnx

[versmex87]

@SteelWool91 yaaaaaaaah sory about that, i had to say it, as the hundreds of people before me also did. still man, awedome vid

[viceslavsimek]

@SteelWool91 ok

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

u missed a whole range of people in the ancient world. China,Korea,Japan,India,Egypt,­Turkic people,Greeks,Romans,etc,etc,e­tc

[SteelWool91]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican For christ sakes, I meant for this one video to be dedicated to only a few, i couldn't possibly fit ALL of them into one video even a series would be difficult. I meant to make more but i eventually scrapped the idea, not to mention it isn't easy to find enough images for all of them so that they would be represented equally.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@SteelWool91 lol ok... Those people are important in the ancient world.. But its ok..

[SteelWool91]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican Guess what?

[524mab]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican and you turned other great peoples into ETCTERAS  you should have taken the time to mention them and not bitch at others for their lack of time and space

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@524mab Umm...I didnt bitch at all. I just state other groups of people that had major armies in the ancient world. You make it out to be like I non stopped trolled about it.

[implerazure]

Wow, that was very nice. Thank you. I am glad to see there are people who like ancient military history :D

[SteelWool91]

NP, I like military history PERIOD

[mukkSkillz]

Hey this was recomended to me by youtube put in my videos I might like, since I`m always checking out dark age and viking documentaries I`m really getting into celtic history as well,..... the one thing though is that I cant seem to find anything on the varangian guard (documentaries)here on the tube, maybe someone can give me some titles to look up, thanx all you war nuts!.

[SteelWool91]

In my barbarian tribute there are a few images of Varangian guard fighting turks at Manzikert, see if you can point them out!

[lifes40123]

wheres china? china has the best army in the ancient world.

[SteelWool91]

I didn't have enough space to add them in this video, and I quit the 'series' a long time ago, would be a good idea to restart it again I guess.

[lifes40123]

china had over 1 million soldiers in 500 bc.

[TheTurkishFalcon]

wheres ottoman like there not that anciant

[SteelWool91]

Ancient to classical, not medieval.

[TheTurkishFalcon]

oh i see what you mean

[ArmeniaDbest]

[SteelWool91]

[narekjuu]

[cell455]

not true.

[superquino]

I want to see the Alans!!!!

[OkurkaBinLadin]

@superquino Scythians and Sarmatians in video were direct ancestors of Alans ;-) Alans are already medieval people, no need to put them here.

[superquino]

nice thanks!!!!

[Assyrianland]

Long live Assyria, The first empire, one of the greatest army's in history. This is a fact if you people like it or not!!!! Khaya Atour!!!

[narekjuu]

hello

I'm armenian and I like assyrians

but when rome atacked assyria the assyrians asked help from the great king of the king tigran the great

after armenia defeated the intruders

the assyrians asked tigran the great as their new king

[WalesiBard]

@Assyrianland But many of your kings in history were unbelievably cruel and killer emperors...

I do not hate assyrians - I don't know the present ones -, but you should proud of the valueable parts, elements of your history, not the cruel conquers and genocides.

Greetings from Hungary - a Scythian descendant.

Bless and peace to the Middle East, freedom and justice for the nations and people!

[ASSYRIANZOWAA123]

assyrian army was the strongest army we ruled whole asia!!

[anticomunas]

@ASSYRIANZOWAA123 assyria was destroyed by the powerful Rome

[A55YRlAN]

@anticomunas When Assyria was around Rome was not in existens..

[kexember]

Germans may have succeded at Augsburg and Merseburg, on their native land, so what?? Even though they wanted to eliminate us, they didn't dare to attack us afterwards on OUR territory, for at least 50 years. They knew they would have been smashed to the ground. And when they finnaly attacked us - they were.

[HHimmler33]

lol? O.K goofball

[kexember]

Try to leave some intelligent comment you jerkface, or just keep it for yourself. Also get thinking about your use of English - it's quite shameful, considering your "great" ideas. "lol" What the fuck is this?! I've also taken a look at your profile and it's very shameful too that you are only interested in "well manoured intellegent Germanic and/or Celtic ppl", given that WW2 was the struggle of the whole of Europe.

[HHimmler33]

VVhat did you mean 'my use of English'? lol,, my reply didn't have an artistic sentence-structure strong enough for your tastes??, , and if I wanted to keep it to myself I would have, I see you boasting rabble, I call you a goofball,! ww2 dosen't have much to do w/ anything here I think, btw.. I'm sick w/ Arischer/Aryan examinations on the word. Origins obsolete, we know who we all are called Aryans or ballons,,xD The best ppl ;) /but I see you're offended?,xD, I had too dlete 4o% of reply...

[kexember]

It's not about being artistic, it's about being readable. But you're right, it wasn't strong enough for my taste. But I simply don't care anymore, your reply is worthless.

[kexember]

Yes, even of Magyars, Bulgars, Latins, Hellenes, Illyrs, Slavs, Balts and Finns. No Celtic countries were part of the Axis anyway. Not to mention the case of true Aryans, the so called Indo-Iranian peoples. Do you Germans have any ancient documents mentioning your aryanness?? You seem to be intelligent, so I'd appreciate some thoughtful and well-written comments instead of the shit you left here.

[HHimmler33]

Basil Poledouris?

[SteelWool91]

YuP

[HHimmler33]

A very nice Video, Basil's great *****

[THEKINGS001]

For the LORD of Heaven's Armies will say, "Blessed be Egypt, my people. Blessed be Assyria, the land I have made. Blessed be Israel, my special possession!"
