The Armenian Empire: Tigranes The Great "King of Kings"

I made this video as simple as possible, yes i did leave out many factors, especially how Tigranes almost single handedly destroyed the Seleucid Empire, but i was trying to make this video as easy as possible to understand without too much thinking to do.

this video covers the Armenian empire, sources from primary historians

like Cicero, Plutarch, Strabo all exist in the video, so for all those jealous Azeri (Tatar) and Turk deniers, you actually want to go against the words of greek and roman historians who existed during the period? lol

only jesus desrerves name KING OF KINGS. alexander had a bigger empire yet he isnt called king of kings.SO screw all of you people who still accpet tigranes is king of kings.he was our greatest leader but doesnt mean you have to give our lords rank away....

@ArthaxtaDaVince777 relax.. thats what he was hailed as during his time, i personally do not like Tigranes, nor do i find the Armenian empire my favorite period in Armenian history, we have much greater things than just an empire, and King Tigranes... i will not get into the religious aspect of things, but i agree, many rulers were egotistical, and Tigranes existed B.C. (BEFORE CHRIST) he was hailed king of kings by Persians, all Caucasian tribes, Phoenecians, Cappadocians, and Israelites.

All countries around the world had great men, heroes and mitic conquerors. I am sure that in Armenia with all it's history are full of great warriors, kings and heroes. Thank you for tell us about Tigranes, the Great.

@Thrashgu yes thankyou for your kind words.. it is not in the Armenian nature to be imperialistic.. we are just freedom lovers.. keep in mind that when Armenia had an empire.. our King Tigranes was held captive in Persia almost all of his life, his father tried to regain lost territory against persians and failed.. hence his son was sent as a truce for peace.. there Tigranes learned Persian tactics of Imperialism.. Armenians have fought for freedom most of the time.. thankyou for your interest

"Как сказал английский философ Джон Толанд: "Чем древнее ложь, тем опаснее. Значит, она глубоко пустила корни". Веками армянскому народу внушалась идея о существовании "Великой Армении" и что эта "Великая Армения" занимала территории современной Турции, Азербайджана, Грузии, Ирана и т.д. Армяне, которые всегда предпочитали находиться под покровительством у кого-либо, превратились в заложники авантюристических и абсурдных амбиций своих руководителей".
