@Bomber0907 Fuck you!

[VigiTV01]

Greek Hoplites they're just , wonderful , with well aware commander in hand , they could do almost anything in battle. They are very well trained , and well toned with the Greek Courage and Fighting spirit and trust in they're comrades. One dead greek is a great lost to them , not losing a comrade in battle , i think that is what in they're head when they battle . That's why they end the battle with very low Casualties.If i could go back to time , i would really go to battle with them!

[MoogieOh]

[NVerkris]

How do you know if someone is a Turk, show them a dead mouse if they cry because one of their relatives is dead then you've got a Turk.

[TheSlimLP]

@NVerkris nice!

[189bundy]

herodotus over estimated he well well over estimated. in marathon he over estimated 2millions persians.

[vagos13legend]

@189bundy Thats true but again modern historians agree that the Greeks were heavily outnumbered

[PoitierFrance]

@vagos13legend The greeks were heavily outnumbered, but i don't think that really matters if you think about the fact that the greeks soldiers were heavy armoured and long spears compared to light armoured persians with short spears and sword. Even then the persian infantry still hold their ground at marathon and especially at plataea where at the center, mardonius and his 1000 persians fought against the spartans.

[vagos13legend]

@PoitierFrance Their equipment was better than the persians but again the persians were unbeatable .Thats why the greeks used strategies to beat the persians and also the greek hoplites were better soldiers too,The historians say that the greek hoplites was the best soldier of the ancient world

[PoitierFrance]

@vagos13legend True, greek hoplites were better soldiers, they were proffesional soldiers and also athletes. Herodotus mentions that the persians while equal in courage and strenght to the greeks still lacked the training skills the hoplites had. They also seemed to lack discipline as herodotus mentions that at plataea the persians would sometimes in small groups or even singly rush toward the greek formation. But they probably did that to impress their commanders.

[Pcamacho911]

Well Done Historyisthekey.

[Historyisthekey]

how did this video end up with these kind of racist, aggressive comments on it?

[mirmontazeri]

[leaanka]

[Flipstar117]

[Flipstar117]

@famemonster1993 Are you fucking high?

[MegaMufti]

Cut the irritating music next time! Struggling to hear what you are saying over the din.

[captainveteran1]

nice work, i like it, possibly if you do another slow it down a little bit, but it sounds quite accurate and useful, cheers

[teachinggypsy]

What's to elaborate? He's mumbling and tripping over his tongue every other sentence. It's terrible narration.

[Historyisthekey]

@teachinggypsy fair enough, so you know; I did the narration am interested in your statement for future reference. Whereabouts are you referring? I can understand that there are a couple stumbles in the video, but a stumble every other 3 minutes or so is hardly the same as every other sentence. So perhaps I am missing your meaning, so if you'd just reference the first issues you had with it then it would be useful.

[teachinggypsy]

@Historyisthekey Oops, I didn't mean to offend then. :P You're just going a bit fast and the voiceover is mixed a bit low. It is coming out as a bit too conversational...should be enunciated a bit more clearly I guess. I just had some difficulty following since my accent is not the same as yours.

[Historyisthekey]

@teachinggypsy none taken, and thanks; I'll keep it in mind in future videos.

[teachinggypsy]

Terrible narration.

[Historyisthekey]

@teachinggypsy care to elaborate? Without any detail that comment is useless.

[PkayerZxz2]

Nice video.

[worldofpaul12]

i love the greco-persian wars truly memorable in history :D

[EllyMcCormack]

That's incredible. That quote of what they said of their liberty, was particularly hard hitting. Love your channel and the detail you go to clearly stating everything that happened.

[ConsularCandidate]

What? No reenactment?

[Historyisthekey]

@ConsularCandidate that was the original plan, but the video was already about a week late so I just finished it off with what had. I'll get the whole thing sorted for the Gallic Wars vids
