Hassan-i Sabbah & Alamut Castle: How the Assassins Terrified the World | Ancient Black Ops

Hassan-i Sabbah & Alamut Castle: How the Assassins Terrified the World | Ancient Black Ops This episode covers the rise of the Hashashin (Assassins), an Ismaili (Shia) sect born in the 11th century in the impregnable Alamut Castle under the leadership of Hassan-i Sabbah, laying the foundations of asymmetric warfare. Instead of fighting massive Sunni armies hand-to-hand, this elite unit chose to strike enemy leaders directly in the heart, eliminating their first major target, Nizam al-Mulk, with a covert dagger attack. The documentary then explores the group's transition to Syria, the incredible psychological war they waged against Saladin under the leadership of the "Old Man of the Mountain," Rashid ad-Din Sinan, and how they murdered the Crusader King of Jerusalem, Conrad, by infiltrating his own guards. 🌐 Explore hidden truths of history 🧬 Dive into the science behind life and the universe 🐘 Witness the beauty and struggle of wildlife 🕵️‍♂️ Uncover real stories, strange events, and unsolved enigmas New episodes weekly.
