Thanks everyone for watching! This is our final episode on the Medieval World for this current project!

Is this AI?

Fall of Constantinople is the biggest glitch in History!

Constantinople will rise again and unite the Christian world , God will give us another chance.

Wonderful, excellently researched documentary about the Byzantine Empire. Hold fast to your faith, Christian brothers, because King Jesus Himself will soon vanquish all of His enemies and establish His Kingdom over the world.

I wish there were more videos and media on the East Roman Empire

❤

JUSTINIUS AND THEODORA WERE THE KILLERS OF THE GREEKS STILL BELIEVING IN THEIR ANCIENT GODS , THEY DESTROYED THE PLATO UNIVERCITY OF ATHENS AND THE LAST GREEK THEATERS , ALTERS , GYMNASIUMS AND THE BIBLIOTEKA OF ALEXANDRIA.
THEY WERE THE GRAVE STONE OF THE ANCIENT GREEK CIVILAZATION .
THE DESTRACTION STARTED WITH CHRISTIANAZATION OF ROME IN 330 AC.
HOW EVER GREEKS ADJUSTED IN CHRISTIANITY AND TOOK OVER YHE RULE AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE EAST ROMAN EMPAIER, THROUGHT THE LANGUAGE AND ADUCATION.
UP TO 1453 EAST ROMAN , BYZANTIUM WAS MAINLY RULED FROM GREEKS .

There is is only Roman Empire the west was just barbarism compared to the east

Great documentary. Glad to see a video that used the correct name for the empire... The Eastern Roman Empire not the Byzantine empire which was coined about 100 years after the sacking of Constantinople.

The Eastern Roman Empire: A complete overview

Very interesting fakts. Thx

Such a shame they lost to the Ottomans.

Man I get Goosebumps just thinking about the rumor that Generals/Emperors would take the eyes out from an entire enemy army rendering them completely blind and would only leave their General/Commander with one eye, instead of making them fully blind so they can march their ENTIRELY BLIND army back to where they came from in their lands. I wonder how much evidence we have that this actually happened? I know there are a few texts giving examples of these horrific tactics of rendering an entire army blind besides its one eyed General/Commander... I can't believe that someone went through an ENTIRE army ripping out the eyeballs of 10s of thousands of soldiers smh... so I'm sure this saying was completely unrealistic and embellished... seems like it was meant to be a type of symbolism and not taken literally... Still insane to think about

The Second Greek Great Empire. ☝️ In this respect, Greece is ahead of all other cultures.

As an History Buff & Lover I am in love with these videos you are putting out! Keep up the great work! I recently started playing a game called "Total War: Attila" that takes place during the 400AD's when Atilla The Hun was born and grew up to wreak havoc on the world and its people, especially Eastern Europe.. I usally play as The Western Roman Empire and make an attempt to TRY and hold off Attila & The Huns slowly moving towards my provinces belonging to The Western Roman Empire and its amazing seeing how historically accurate Total War: Atilla is and it got EVEN BETTER when I just downloaded the mod called 1212AD for Total War: Atilla and it basically gives you a whole new game that takes place in the 1200s during the end of the 4th Crusade & The beginning of the 5th Crusade ... its a complete overhaul for many game mechanics and enitre cities & settlements, making large cities and settlements look a lot more medieval than they did in the vanilla Total War: Atilla in the 400AD's of course the best part is the Details Of The Armies & Soldiers in the armies... the amount of detail the mod developers added to this mod is absolutely insane, from the armies, towns, ports, landmarks and down to uniforms and armor of the individual soldiers on the battlefields each Nation/Empire has their own type of units depending on where the army is recruiting from.... and each of these units have incredibly accurate and well done uniforms and armor/weapons if you are a History Buff & Lover like myself then you should play Total War: Attila's 1212AD Medieval Kingdoms mod/overhaul and its completely free but I believe the developers behind the 1212AD Medieval Kingdoms Mod take donations if you are will to support to help with making new content and updating the 1212AD Mod ... even if you do not play video games you should look up videos of battle gameplay & full campaigns especially The Byzantine Empire videos as you can retake Constantinople with the Nicea faction and reinstate The Byzantine Empire and eventually if you are lucky and good enough, the whole Roman Empire all over Europe

Crazy how “hooliganism” during event competition is already a thing even back then. 😂

"Slave" does NOT come from a word "Slav", why are you continuing to perpetrate a racist and xenophobic lie?

Too many ads

Italian peninsula almost became greek speaking land if Eastern Roman empire succeeded

Did you mean Eastern Roman Empire?

If you add subtitles,it would become more great 😃

To call it Byzantine empire is such an insult. The Byzantines did not establish this empire, nor did they structured it, nor did they fought with blood and tears for a piece of land in this world...not it was the Romans who did it, the Byzantines were another Greek tribe that was conquered. They called themeselves Romans, everyone around them called them Romans, the misnomer of Byzantines is of recent origin, they lie to you with words to conceal reality in the open. The objective of the lie is to claim that Christianity caused the collapse of the Roman Empire; where in reality it lived on. The cause of the Roman loss of its western territories, like Hispania, is the invasion of barbarians (Germanic tribes). At that time, the Germans weren't known for logic and engineering, to say the least.

The Middle East is a far better place after the Byzantines were defeated

Slavic is the English word, taken from the original Slavic languages Slowiański/Slaviansky and several other variants. It has two meanings Slovo/Slowo= word and Slava/Slava= glory, fame. In ancient time “Slava” / ”Slawa” meaning “glory”was used as a common greeting.

Interesting to learn that the root of the word slave was for white people, who were allegedly never oppressed

Not bad for a gpt . Impressive most impressive indeed. Please be opened minded enough to question this shared knowledge as if you were a citizen through the ages of ages taught and shared. We are the human race and it's us whom shape history. Everything is in flux. Such is life

Judaiochristian theocracy, genocidal for the greek nation, following orders from Jerusalem's grand rabbi

Its Instabul not Constantinople now. ❤❤

But wait, if the city got reconquered from the Latins, it was successfully invaded 3 times, wasn't it?

I wonder how Turks feel when they see every ancient and Byzantine monument in their country with Greek inscriptions on them ?

☦️Free Constantinople☦️.

There's a common pattern between Alparslan and Attila both inflicted heavy defeats against the Romans in Manzikert and Ravenna respectively and died just the year after at the height of their power

The Qur'an includes the Surat Ar-Rum, the sura dealing with "the Romans", sometimes translated as "The Byzantines," reflecting a term now used in the West. These Romans of the 7th century, referred to as Byzantines in modern Western scholarship, were the inhabitants of the surviving Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Since all ethnic groups within the Roman empire had been granted citizenship by 212 AD, these eastern peoples had come to label themselves Ρωμιοί or Ῥωμαῖοι Romaioi (Romans), using the word for Roman citizen in the eastern lingua franca of Koine Greek. This citizenship label became "Rûm" in Arabic.

The Eastern Roman, or Byzantine, Empire traced its origin as an institution to the foundation of Constantinople as the new capital of the Roman Empire in 330 by Constantine the Great. The Byzantine Empire survived the 5th century, when the Western Roman Empire fell, more or less intact and its populace continually maintained that they were Romaioi (Romans), not Hellenes (Greeks), even as the empire's borders gradually became reduced to in the end only encompassing Greek-speaking lands.

Greece culture is the most beautiful and important culture in human History , greetings from Latin America all presidential palaces in latin america are base on Greek architecture also their Christian Art and values the westerns just copied ❤✝ Constantinople will be Greek and Christian again i assure it

Why did the " crusaders" ransack and loot CONSTANTINOPLE....the BYZANTINES were CHRISTIANS????
WHY WERE THE LIONS REMOVED FROM CONSTANTINOPLE AND TAKEN TO VENICE ???
GREED GREED GREED from the catholic pope

It was an occupying state that was established as a continuation of the political environment that emerged after the Trojan invasion of greeks (Fall of Troy for us) and was finally destroyed by Fateh. Hector's soul was embodied in him. now for the invaders its named Fall of Constantinople. Minor asian natives and their asian and thracian siblings already established the Ottomans in Bursa. Of course, this situation is explained differently to the world. Because they need new wars. But we took back our lands. Tell the story however you want. Let the invaders know that we will continue to defend our own lands forever. We won't let you into a place that doesn't belong to you.

If Jews recovered Israel , Greeks will recover Constantinople and entire Anatolia sooner than later !
Turks belong to asia not to europe !

Thanks to the Eastern Romans for enlightening us in the true Christian faith. I thank them on behalf of all Russian people.

Almost no mention of the foreign affairs of Constantinople with the Bulgarians and the Arabs, which has made the story told here quite shallow. Being the most powerful enemies or allies of the Eastern Romans, the interactions with would explain most of the events in this video. A few years only - 681, 717-718, 811, 865-870, 917, 968, 1185, 1205, 1230.

Constantine XI died like a true emperor and has my respect.

Constantinopel is lost forever as it has been defiled by heathens.

Rome was occupied and they had an agreement with the Illyrian Dardan tribe to speak Latin in the church and in political leadership, because after the arrival of Rome, Illyria fell under the Roman influence and Latin was spoken in the church masses from then on, but the people in Illyria spoke Albanian, at that time they did not there was neither Greek nor Serbian blood, everything is a lie because in antiquity you can find neither Greek nor Serbian, only Illyrian tribes, and Constantinople was built by the Dardanians and the biggest churches were built by Justilian who was emperor and was of Illyrian Dardanian blood, after of the latest findings in Kosovo, namely in the heart of Dardani, there is a mosaic with the inscription Justiliani with Teodora in Dardani, it is written in the mosaic that Justilani was Dardan, with the origin that Justiljan himself had built in the 6th century, don't slander the lies, Rome was the conqueror, but Constantinople was built by the Illyrian Dardanians , even though the Dardanians were the ones who built Troy, Rome, Paris, London, I speak with facts, antiquity belongs to the Illyrians and today to the Albanians who fought for survival after the Ottoman invasion and everything changed with the lies and propaganda of the modern Serbs and Greeks because not even in Ottoman times there were no Greeks, they were Albanian Arvanitas, but when the Ottoman Empire was extinguished, the coalition between the Turks and Europe was for the Turkish, Arab and Asian Catholics to migrate to modern Greece and drive away the Muslim Albanians from their lands, because how Justilian was the Illyrian people living in their own land and in peace, but with the Slavic influx, their enemies tried to assimilate the Albanians or Illyrians into the Slavs, until the arrival of the Turks, then some of the Illyrians or Albanians converted to Islam, while the rest fled to Italy, where today they are Arbreshes and in Turkey, Albanian is written, the first Albanian language in the world, 7500-8000 years old, a week ago the news came out in the world and European media, the Greek language came out technical, and the second language came out the Armenian language, now tell me in the oldest language autochthonous Albanians, everything is related to Albanians and Illyrian tribes, how can Slavs and Greeks come out with a language 1500-2000 years older than Albanians, traditional Albanian clothes are the same as those of Trojans and Illyrians, I don't understand Slavs and Greeks they lie a lot, dear public, for all the truth, search in the Vatican, don't believe in the Slavic-Greek videos because they didn't exist at the time of the Roman occupation of Illyria
