I'm super surprised that you didn't mention the fact that the cool hidden wrist blade from the game ACTUALLY DID exist and was actually used... they invented and manufactured a type of dagger that was kind of a gravity assisted design that activated by swinging their hand around or flicking their wrist. It wasn't widely used and difficult to make, but they did exist, and some were found, and many were directly mentioned in sources. The design was just kept a secret forever until the discovery, but I think the military banning them or deciding they're "impractical" helped wipe out our knowledge of them even further. I guess it's not really that relevant to the topic and would have added more time to the video, but I think it's still worth mentioning it, and it should have been mentioned in the video because I really truly believe from being a historian and reading sources, and seeing pictures of the artifacts, that this kind of blade was used in at least one of or maybe even all of the attacks that you talked about in the video. It's just an interesting fact to know...so I let everyone else know because I knew it.

21:21, actually to the contrary. You use the drug to focus on the task and not worry about everything that could happen.

[@abitoffcenter383]

Personally I think it depends on the "drug" and the person. I can't stand anything having to do with weed. But I've tried others with amazing success. One in particular that most folks (imho) couldn't stay on task to save their life. But of course these days it's far to dangerous to use. I personally don't have any desire to wake up dead. The risk FAR outweighs the benefits!!! So I'll leave y'all to it. Y'all be safe out there!!

At the beginning, it would have been good of them to cover the evidence that the temple knights (Knights Templar) seem to have been working with them. Possibly as far back as 1080 A.D. But there's better evidence that their relationship started somewhere between 1090 & 1110. Just like in the video game, the knight were digging under the temple mount hoping to find relics and/or treasure from the time of Solomon. Unlike the video game though, it seems, from what I've read, that they had a much more cordial & mutually beneficial relationship with the Assassins.

I’m Iranian and here are some facts about assassins that are told nowhere( I know some of these from lord of alamout and Idk how credible the book is). Hashashin was their name because they were medicine producers. There are many herbs in that area that even to this day are used as medicine. The reality of their intention wasn’t religious war(at least during hassan sabah era) the goal was to pick a creed and change so that restore iranians original traditions and culture before Islamic era.most of the assassinations weren’t as easy as planning and killing the target. They would study for years to reach to become a high status person and reach a position close to important political figures. As a part of their beliefs they did work out once a week. Even the regular followers had strong physic and when they fought they conquered many bigger armies with small number of warriors. Idk how they are compared with today’s terrorists, they didn’t kill regular people they. Just so you can imagine Nizam al mulk was prime minister in one the strongest countries of that time. It’s like we see presidents and ministers from USA Russia UK etc get assassinated.

[@Xirsiev]

Thanks, but there is no evidence supporting the idea of restoring ancient religions, and it doesn't seem to be the case-it is simply a distortion and fabrication of history driven by personal desires. Their primary goal, especially under Hassan-i Sabbah, was rooted in a specific religious and political mission tied to the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam. He aimed to establish a purist Ismaili state and spread his interpretation of Islam!. The comparison to modern terrorism is merely a Western perspective, fueled by resentment and jealousy. What else could be expected from them, really?-Nothing 🤷‍♂️

Why do you think there are so many mosques called al-akrad in the middleeast? Because it means mosques of the Kurds! It was a persian prince that invited the Seljuk to help him take over the Persian empire for himself from his brother, this lead to the turkic people to get to power after betraying him and stealing the power for themself. So how can you deny that there were no Persian state? But I have seen people try to cover up the identity of Kurds, the oldest people tribe in Mesopotamia, and tried to pass them on as "mountain turks" in order to steal their lands, ban their names, language, history and music by oppression and massacres...

I know the story of Hassan i Sabah very well. What's missing here is the fact, that Hassan had 2 groups of men. One group was smoking Hash, and, when they were high, they were brought into "the gardens of delight" - which they believed, is paradise. Young women, music, - everything. These were the Assassins, the "Hashishins" - but, on duty, dope was nit used. Then Hassan had a second group, which didn't like being soldiers, - who had the capacity for "more" - these were thought in the spiritual ways and secrets. Hassan was a clever man. He knew, whom he can use as an Assassin, and whom he could teach the spiritual ways. But, the Assassins were the active, political killers, a deadly force. That's, what's missing here. Greets. Tom.

Didn’t these guys pay tributes to the knights Templar at some point?

[@JafarEmhotep]

💩

[@ΓρηγορηςΓυροπουλος]

Indeed they did,in order to stay safe from the Templars.The Order of the Temple was getting an annual large amount of money so as to leave the Ismaili alone,not persecuting them or besieging their castles and keeps.They were no real match for Knights Templar.And they knew that even if they assassinated the Templar Grand Master,the Order would simply elect someone else at his post,continuing his goal,so there was no real point killing him anyway...

[@MrBottlecapBill]

@@ΓρηγορηςΓυροπουλος That's pretty much what happens after every assassination which is why it's never been an effective way to build empires. Someone else always just takes their place.

One particular Mongol. The great Khan himself. Their ruthlessness was no match for his.

Maybe that should be the last assassins creed game to end the franchise ac mongol even the crusaders got hit

[@romanhama5377]

@@unoe4481 Nah the assassins live on, their remnants are living in Portugal. They managed to kill several high officials of the mongols leading to the power struggle, thus scattering mongol unity. However their castles stod 0% chance against the fire power of cannons, forcing them to leave. Maybe after that they may still have had an hand in European affairs in return for land or protection, but we will probably never know to what extend.

The one expert kept on showing back grip knife techniques but i think front grip thrusting would be more useful.

[@seansimmons73]

Reverse grip or ice pick grip as it's sometimes called makes it easier to conceal the blade behind your arm from someone you're facing

I first heard about the assassins via William Burroughs Jr. which was a much different and strange doorway into this information/history. Uncle Bill created quite a character out of The Old Man of the Mountain.

One important detail was left out: the practice of being an assassin comes from the Sassanid Persian Empire’s military practices, which was practiced on the Khalif Omar Ibn Khattab by Pirooz Nahavandi, a captured Sassanid military strategist. Iranians globally associate bravery and courage with the Assassination of Omar by Pirooz and celebrate it annually, regardless if you’re Shia or typically agnostic which most Iranians are.

[@LeixWUxLong]

You Persians try to claim everything, no the practice did not come from the Persians. You just wanted to say what you just said. Do you still cope hard after the Muslims defeated the Romans and Persians? You should be happy that it happened. Shia sect is a deviancy from Orthodox (Sunni) Islam.

I guess you missed the part where they explained that these people are the first in the history of humans to be called assassins. That fact is why they are saying it began with them. Chronicle writers are fully aware that there were people who killed others for profit, theological, or political reasons. Those people, however, were not referred to as assassins. 😒

[@SameerKhan-jf4sb]

It does but Hassan Sabbah shaped it and gave it a proper organisation. It was perfected by him. Jews did use suicide attacks against Romans but not on an enterprinorial level. Hassan turned it into a proper John Wick from Max Payne.
