Ordine degli Assassini: la VERA storia

Discover the TRUE history of the Assassins, a journey that begins with Marco Polo's chronicles and reveals the identity of the feared Old Man of the Mountain (Shaykh al Jabal). The sect was not simply assassins, but a powerful religious faction: the Nizari Ismailis. Who were the Assassins, really? This video takes you back to the Middle Ages to explore the origins of the word "assassin" (which has nothing to do with hashish) and life in the elusive fortress of Alamut, the Eagle's Nest. We'll see how the Nizari Ismailis managed to extort tribute from kings and emperors like Frederick II, and their complex and secretive political relationship with the knightly orders of the Templars and Hospitallers in the Holy Land. We'll analyze the most famous assassinations associated with the order, from Nizam al-Mulk to Conrad of Montferrat, and the legendary fall of Alamut to the Mongol horde, which ended their rule and destroyed their library of esoteric knowledge. 🔥 Buy my novels of blood and sharp iron: https://www.lorenzomanara.it/bio/ 👉 The article on my blog with bibliographical sources: https://www.lorenzomanara.it/ordine-d... https://www.lorenzomanara.it/emissari...
