Hi Kings and Generals. Could you video documentary explain why the royalty of the kingdom of Adiabene has a palace in Jerusalem and there relation to the Jewish state and the Herodians and Hasmoneans. Why there is another royal family living in Jerusalem aside from the Hasmoneans and Herodeans. Adiabene is a vassal of Parthia very weird for them to live in Jerusalem in Judea a Roman vassal.
I would love to see either the battle of Nezib 1839, one of the Egypt's greatest victories Or the battle of Megido
" Mongols subdued the muslims but Islam subdued the Mongols" Dr Israr Ahmed
@DTF DTF bro, if you don't know about Islam, just do more research about islam. I recommend you just watch at youtube about the real Islam that been taught by Yusuf Estes, Syeikh Ahmed Deedat and Ustaz Zakir Naik. They can explain about the Islam. Good luck👍
@Skeptical Atheist Do you know that the Islamic empire does not force followers of other religions to convert to Islam and gives freedom to followers of other religions to practice their religion? for example, one of the islamic empires in india, the Mughal empire, gave freedom to Hindus to practice their religion and did not force them to convert Islam, which is why until now there are Hindus. another example, the Ottoman Empire, there are other religions besides Islam such as christianity and jew in the teachings of islam, islam cannot force the followers of other religions to convert to islam and cannot kill them if they do not convert to islam. The Islamic government must protect its people even if they are not Muslims.
@Skeptical Atheist dr israr was died in 90s and youTube first video upload on 2005. Get some water brother
@DTF DTF I swear, Islamophobes are the dumbest imbeciles I’ve ever come across. It was fhe mongols who were tortured and tried to subdued Muslims but even they end up embracing Islam afterwards. Also, it’s also the West who’s attacking Muslim countries with the fake “war on terror” and ironically Islam is the fastest growing faith in the West. Now, your delusional hatred and failed foreign policies will also end up Islam more people embracing Islam.
@Skeptical Atheist he was telling a fortune through in the light of quran, hadees and his knowledge. He tells the fortune according to what happening today. For example he told that one day taliban takes over afghanistan.

11:04 Islam does not actually have a "official dress". It's not un-Islamic to wear something other than what the common Muslims wore at that time and the Mongol dressing (for men at least) does not go against Islam.
Correct
Although the Prophet (pbuh) did state not to resemble the disbelievers. Nowadays one cannot identify a Muslim man at all because the vast majority have adopted the Western man’s outfit, even in majority Muslim countries. The thobe identifies a man as a Muslim which is what the Prophet (pbuh) wore, and he is the primary guide and example for Muslim men.

Back in the day there were only two options, either the conquerors accepted the faith and traditions of the land they conquered, which happened very frequently or they imposed their own way of life and faith. Huns, Kushans and many more were foreign invasion into India and they accepted the local culture n faith. Before Islam all the foreign powers that came into India took to the local customs, it was Islam that converted a lot of people to its own traditions either by force or by people's own choice who wanted to escape the monstrosity of the caste system.
@@saq3329 Its not true that Muslims converted people to Islam by force. The proof of that can be found in current Muslim countries where people of other religions still make-up a small percentage of the population. Based on your argument, all such countries should have 100% Muslim populations, which is not the case.
@@saq3329 Never, forcing anyone is haraam. Quran 10:99 *And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, would you compel the people in order that they become believers?* Quran 10:100 *And it is not for a soul to believe except by permission of Allah , and He will place defilement upon those who will not use reason.*
It has happened before in history, sorry to burst your bubble. The Norse converted to Christianity despite the fact that they had never lost to any Christian power, because it allowed them greater diplomatic contacts and unified their realms. Same reason Islam was successful, might I add. It's also quite racist of you to suggest that Islam "civilised" hitherto "uncivilised" peoples. They had their own way of life and customs.
biggest enemies of Islam became Muslims themselves "Fa bi aiyya alaye rabbikuma tukazzibaan"

Mongolians had no Alphabet, they used Uygur alphabet. They built their first city Karakorum over the ruins of Old Turkic city. Near the holy ground of Tengrinism - Otuken. They used Uyghur scholars for communications with other people around. Uygurs knew Persian and different dialect of Turkic language. They were partially Muslim and were the first people to translate Kuran to Turkic. They have developed millitary first aid methods that were used from China to Iran. In Iran this called Tork-e Chare (Turkic aid). Naymans were Turkic people with Nestorian faith and consisted main part of Mongolian Army. Mongolians were Turkified first then Islamized..

When they learnt peaceful and just way of Islamic life and found out about Qur'an, the mongols (many kings, princes, commanders, etc.) had the holy Qur'an narrated and were amazed. whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land- it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.... Qur'an 5:32. Mongols learnt about the two lives (this one and the afterlife) and how a muslim king could lead a life of material poverty while enriching his afterlife. The strict rules or ban on rape, extortion, murders, theft during those times under the guidance of Qur'an opened their eyes to follow the path to truth. Mughals (mongol empire in India spanning for several centuries) in many of their recorded writings are found to mention constantly these terms "pride and arrogance". As Islam preaches in equality and justice where a king and a slave, blacks and whites, arabs and non-arabs, all are equal and what differentiates is good deeds and bad deeds. This also amazed many of the mongols. Bottom line: Narrate history by compiling all accounts and more importantly with those of the region. you narrating mongol history by referring to western historian is totally Bullshit.
Interesting story. I hope you mention the religious debate between the Buddhist monks, Islamic Imams, and Christian priests when one of the Khans was trying to decide which religion to convert to. (Edit) misspoke earlier, turns out there weren't any rabbis at the debate, which seems rather odd.
No it is not odd like there is not a lot of jews and probably khans dont going to convert to judaism or something like that
Many ancient jews saw the religion and the genealogy as sympatico. Conversion is relatively new as far a Judaism concept, and doesn't even exist amongst Talmudic jews.
Interesting
@@Alejandro-te2nt only the upper class really converted. The vast majority of Khazars were not Jews.
@@flemishnationalist-prayfor9809 The same was true with Rome. Most Romans in the 3 rd century were not Christians, but Constantine conversion carried a powerful influence
mughals were literally mongol desendents, and they ruled a huge chunk of india for generations.
Mughals were Turkic mixed Mongols were Buddhist and Buddhism is from India
Proud laqay and muslim of Centra Asia
The same case goes to Islamic conversion in Nusantara (Indonesia and Malaysia, Philippines, Southern Thailand etc) . Some elements of Hinduism and Buddhism still persist until today although it is gradually replaced with more mainstream Islam.

@Naruto Uzumaki Are you an expert in Classical Arabic and interpretation of the Koran?
@Naruto Uzumaki The word comes from the root M-K-R "plotting, scheming, planning" while the root word K-DH-B is for "decieving, falsifying, telling lies"...do the two root words look the same to you?
This is the main reason why my previously muslim family Converted to Sikhism. Surely, Allah is best of planner. 😁
I don't understand English too much but this channel is really good because it picks up the historical facts and I like the story continues the videos and if possible put the subtitles in French that would be great for me 👍🏽 i subscribe
Thanks for telling my favorite stories, it must have been so hard to live through those times of turmoil and change both political and upheaval, I can't even imagine.
Nice graphics from mas Galang! Salute
Great work as always guys❤ Im still waiting for what i presume is the last ep on your celtic documentary. Where is the showdown between Britons and Saxons. Its been 2 months. Pretty please with the cherry on top? Thank you K&G for your work❤
17:01 That sound effect! Amazing!
There are 5 to 6 million descendants of gheghis Khan and his army are in Pakistan and Afghanistan,more then the whole population of modern Mongolia and they are Muslims.
No there isn't Hazaras are barely 800,000
@Ali Ahmed no they are more than 5 million you can check on the Internet there population in Pakistan is 1.5 million
So beautifully explained wow...!! Your animations are so good... are these from stock or your own animations?
Next week on K&G: The social structure of early Mongolian hatmakers.
No lie, i would totally watch that
I mean I wouldn't mind that either
And I'll bet that would be as enthralling as the other Mongol videos
Interesting video and much needed. As many of the names and places are unfamiliar to me (and I have been to Mongolia!), it would be wonderful to see the names of the individuals and towns mentioned spelled out. The life of "Oldetu" who changed his religion some 5 or 6 times is fascinating.
Nice informative video. Thank you. With best wishes, lots of prayers for your well being and prosperity from India .Regards

@MERAJ Plays karma?
Mongols now: "We can't update the gauge size of our train tracks because that's the only thing keeping our powerful neighbor from exercising political and economic hegemony to extract the mineral wealth from the region"
@Ashhhadic Century China. Mongolia had been using a Soviet era gauge, the Soviet era Trans-Mongolian railway was constructed as a symbol of "Soviet-Chinese solidarity", but it used the Soviet gauge tracks instead of the standard gauge being used in China. Interestingly, it looks like Mongolia began constructing a standard gauge railway in 2019, connecting a coal mine and a copper/gold mine to China. It should be finished in 2022.
@MERAJ Plays hazara are not completely Mongols. It's likely that Mongols who settled in the area merged with the many native tribes in the area, which led to the hazara - the hazara are therefore unique from the Mongols.
The scream of the Shaman at 17:00 had med laughing, wasn't expecting that sound effect lol
Fascinating video. It reminds me that I would like to see further videos about some of the early modern Mongol successor empires like the Dzungars, the Kalmyks, the Uzbeks, or the Khanates of Crimea, Sibir, and/or Khazan and Astrakhan. I really appreciate your excellent coverage of little-appreciated topics.
dont forget Yakut and Kazakh also sucessor of Mongol Horde, Kalmyks and Dzungars culture, tradition, religion and architecture very close to China-Tibet, while Khanate of Crimea, Sibir[Siberia get it name from Khanate of Sibir, Sibir-ia or land of Sibir], Astrakhan and Kazan share similar culture, architecture with Persia and Russia. Uzbeks, Turkmen more to Persian, their cloth, architecture, writing script and tradition but spoke Turkic, Turkish in Anatolia mixed Syrian/Levant Arab architecture, tradition with Byzantine. Kazakh dont change much very same to Mongol, they still live in nomadic and yurt, but have mixed with Persian architecture too.
Kazakhs are descendants of GoldenHorde

Fun fact : Mughal empire (mongol sultanate of india) is the reason why islam spread in India and made it extremely rich and it's why it has variety of cultures in there That was before the Brits invade and Sikhs betray the empire
@@mohammedyassine9263not really, Mughal empire was persian in nature with some arab ifluences. The mongols were never able to conquer the Indian subcontinent. They tried but were defeated by the Delhi Sultanate but also because they were busy with their campaigns in the middle east.
@@7sunit true, but the first Mughal Ruler Babur's mother was a daughter after ten generations from Chagatai Khan (Cengiz Khan's son) and Babur's father was related to Timur who fought against the Ottomans. So you could say that the Mughals were indeed descendents of the Mongols.

That total war music is great. I played most of these scenarios to an extent
It's like crushing beautiful flowers in your hands, after crushing it, you smell its beautiful unforgettable scene in your hands, then felt the urge to study and identify the flower, then falling in love with it
I understood it different way. If you are violent and barbaric, you become inclined to a religion that advocate violence. The people have not changed but now they can use Allah or Islam as excuse for their barbaric behaviour. You don't need to study psychology but you need to be intelligent to understand this.
@@nathiryouhanna4867 You expressed Islam to be a religion allowing or promoting barbaric behaviour and actions done by the Mongols, which is not at all respectful. But regarding the matter, the message of the video was pretty clear in terms that Mongols did not treat religious affection as seriosuly and close to heart than the original communities. That's why they allowed themselves to easily break the laws of Islam for their own sake And their lifestyle and mindsets did not allow the swift and total convertion. That's why, even though they adapted new religion, they continued with some elements of their previous lifestlyes and beliefs. And again, using the religion for the political means is also obvious.
