Well this video is a documentary episode of the "Engineering an Empire" series from the History channel. The video is presented by Peter Weller and it is regarding the engineering aspects of the Persian empire during the Achaemenid era.
@Bots30 if you mean the movie 300, it is Longnor recipe from usa uk .... History is not drilling it does not come from the CIA ...hollywood Because of the cold war (Olia) power, they do not want Iran to have power read the history and open the eyes of those age washes your brain with lies that the film 300 and various things about Persian and more ....
This clip makes it look like the win of Marathon was all by chance and not at all by tactics. History channel sucks. Miltiades is one of the Strategos and not because of chance but because of brilliant military tactics!
These dumb people from the History Channel should READ HISTORY BOOKS before they make documentaries.

There weren't 6000 spartans at Thermopylae, there were only 300 spartans and about 7,000 troops from various other city states. It's shocking how much historically inaccurate information is on the HISTORY channel. JEEZ.
3:36-3:57 is a TOTAL lie
first of all mount Athos is not at isthmus of Corinth but in northern Greece
secondly Persians never stepped into Peloponnese
