Thank you for the informative video
The most comprehensive video on the Parthian Empire I've seen on here. Pronunciation of some of the names are off but thats a small price to play for this kind of content. The perfect thing to go with my new Parthia campaign in Total War Rome 2.

Thank you for watching!
The Parthians weren’t Persian to begin with, they were persianized

@Drone Time most Persians today dont even call themselves Persians commonly, they go by cities usually.
Excellent ! This is by far the best and the most authentic documentary about Parthians I've seen on CZcams. Great job !
Incredible comprehensive work as always on the history of the Parthian Empire. As only Yore History could do!🥇👑
Thanks for watching Jack!
Magnificent
The best I've ever watched from Parthians.
Thanks for watching!
Your channel is amazing! I am fascinated by Iranian history. Keep blessing us with new contents.
Thank you for the story of Parthia. There is precious little material on Parthia and Sasanid Iran, so I am glad you had chosen to make these videos.
And I thank you for watching :)
Да но вте времена это греки воуют между собой
This is the best account of the Battle of Carhhae that I've ever heard! I think you did a great job of contextualizing each side and its great to hear how the battle fit into the political landscape of the Parthians. I never understood why Surena was killed but it makes a lot of sense with how unstable the top position was at the time. Damn shame that guy missed out on a crazy career.
He should've marched to the capital and taken the throne by force. The Surenian dynasty would've been a force to be reckoned with...
@@hisholiness4537 Scythians will kill this man
@@hisholiness4537 I feel this way about Hannibal and Carthage. The war was never gonna be won in Italy. He needed to hold onto Spain and lead the charge on Sicily and the best way to do that would have been a deliberate march on Carthage and strong arming his position as supreme commander of all military resources. Patience in general I think would have given him more options. He kinda just rushes to Italy after Saguntum and then he was stuck there. Even just ferrying his army to Sicily after Cannae could have swung the war even greater. The lesson to learn for future conquerors is that loyalty only matters if it benefits both parties. If you have the means to seize control, a justifiable reason to march against your state, and the will to carry that burden, to me there's no consideration. Hesitation is defeat.
@@hisholiness4537 Surena had something called loyalty
Which Orodes II didn't deserve
And that would've been considered usurpation and very dangerous for the dynasty that had done so
Sure house of Suren was famous and gained great victories but usurping the throne was never easy
And the people weren't unsatisfied with Orodes rule
Even when Surena was executed, other 6 noble houses didn't do anything
The Sassanid general, Shahrbaraz, is a good example
Even with all those great victories in battles and years of service, he lasted only for 40 DAYS after usurping the throne of Iran and was assassinated by other nobles
@@geordiejones5618 You misread the historical facts.. Hannibal could have executed a more passive warfare focusing on Sicily if it was the first punic war but it was the second and Carthago did not have a relevant fleet anymore. If Hannibal focuses on Sicily Rome sails to Carthago and destroys his home, blocks the trade income they so much need. Hannibal understood the only valid consequence out of that in marching on Rome. His downfall was that Rome had a superior way of governing and instilled loyalty into it's allies that was not breakable.
Thank you for such a detailed and great documentary about Parthia, I just ate the whole thing like granny' cupcake. You deserve to be up there with other big history channels on YT. Elegant narration and Storytelling as well, your voice doesn't get boring. I just downloaded your video and will keep coming back to it for information. God Bless
Excellent in-depth presentation with a good cadence and pleasing visuals. As a historian with a guilty pleasure for Iranic history, Subscribed.
Cheers the TheShah, you may be interested to know I will be release the first episode of a new series dealing with the Sassanian Empire later today. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video. Thanks for making this. I learned many new things. Looking forward to your other videos
Anyone think it coincidental that three of the four great Eurasian Empires of the time, faced turmoil at about the same time? The fall of the Parthian Empire, Rome's Crisis of the Third Century and the fall of the Han Dynasty all happened within a few decades of each other.
426mak It was the age of religious empires rises.rise of theocratic States.
@@aradsstates9584 Really? But Christian Rome was was still a long way off and China never became a Theocratic state. how did you come to that conclusion?
426mak according to William Durant (the story of civilization: age of faith )this revolution(religion dominant as political power) started with Sassanids and it affected the Roman state but I have no idea for China, I comment on it to see actually what is your point of view for saying that actually(your comment)!
@@aradsstates9584 My original comment was just an observation I found interesting, my reply to yours was genuine curiosity. Thanks for the reading reference, I'll check it out when I have time. PS are you sure you got the period right? Sassanid Persia emerged after the Crisis of the Third Century didn't it?
426mak no actually they were at the same time.
I'm a curious person just like you
I'm glad for your comment its interesting, cheers.
Keep the lessons coming.
Love it.
Epic, thank you m8! :)
Fantastic documentary, Yore! (just worked out the pun on Yore name..I like it!) Great pacing to this, methodical and clear. I like in particular the images you have sourced. The way you have displayed them is a serious inspiration to me. I will be looking to find some of these and use them in forthcoming artistic projects. To me, this period of history has always been vague and I feel like an archaeologist unearthing an important find. It feels like I have found a serious piece of the puzzle that is our collective history and I haven't finished watching it yet! Bravo, Sir... Many, Many Thanks
I just watched this. Amazing work! Thank you. I specially loved the introductory scripts which really sets the right mood for the story.
Thanks Saeed. Any other history you would like to see in the future covered?
@@YoreHistory I haven't seen alot om Sassanid Empire. There are scattered episodes by other channels here and there. But there are no solid documentary. However, I understand Sassanid takes way more work as there are way more records available comparing with Parthians. Is there a way we can support your channel?

Thanks and appreciate you watching!
Fun fact, all the houses of the royal Parthian houses claimed ancestry from Cyrus the great, Achaemenid Persians and their goal was to resurrect the Achaemenid Persian borders.
It is also interesting that his grandfather was the last Media (Mada) Scythian king.
Were that Parthians Iranians from present day Iran, or were they Iranians from present day Tajikistan?
@@AK-fe1lu Thet were Iranians. Don't be jealous bro, and Scythians are also Iranians. Dude you sound jealous in your comments, and after 2 years not one person liked your comment. Some people can't handle the fact Iranians have such great empires, kings, scholars, etc. They always try to take it away from them.
@@agostocobain2729 I don't want to upset you, but what you're talking about is just wishful thinking. As for Iran, a country of many nationalities, this is the reality. As for me, I belong to a group of people you call Scythians, I speak that language, and I realized that it has nothing to do with you, your history is a gigantic lie, I can prove it! For example, Winston Churchill invented Iraq while smoking a cigar. So much for the history of the region. Iraqi Foreign Minister Tareq Aziz asserted that the Iraqi people today have nothing to do with Mesopotamia. If you really want to know who the Scythians are, ask the Iranian man who practices horse bowman, he knows!
@@agostocobain2729 Ive heard they came from North Iran or possibly central asia like all Iranians in the mena region
Praise Mithra and the Parthian Pahlavans, the true horselords and first knights. A true brotherhood with a unique warrior culture that made Eranshahr a world power that rivaled Rome and kept it so for almost a thousand years.
They were real men, and how I long everyday to be like them...
I can tell by your Profile Picture you're a fan of the old Iranian empires. Me too brother. Praise Mithra! Ahura Mazda protect us!
@@liammagner7614 where are you from ? why mithra and not mohammed?
@@Beatsbeebur Mohammed is not the perofet for the real Iranians.
@@masoud03 🙏🏻
@@liammagner7614 If you are interested in the real history of Iran, then you should look up the Scythians, because they are of great importance in all areas (religious, imperial, military). Other lines are misleading regarding the reality.
For example, the Seleukid Empire was defeated by the Scythians, followed by the enormous media (Mada) empire, the mother of the great Kurus, the daughter of the recent Medic king, and when he attacks the Scythians.530, because after the Scythian relatives, the King of the Scythians he wants to be, then he goes to war and dies. The whole world at that time was the family war of the Scythians, which is presented differently today.
I'm so glad I found this channel, it's addictive and very enjoyable to watch.
Glad you did too. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your lovely videos
Damn man you know how to narrate so that I absorb all the information. Monotone is boring but some people overuse tone while your form of narration is in the sweet spot somewhere in the middle. Great pace too, it’s hard to gather all the information when the presenter speaks too quickly. First time coming across this channel definitely subbed now.
Thanks so much Shabukmed. It helps when you are passionate about the history of the region as I am :) Happy you found the channel though. Cheers!
For real, he's right. It pours right into the mind. Well done!

Very nice. We need more attention to videos like these.
Thank you very much for this extraordinary comprehensive documentary on a particular part of Iranian history.
Me as a person, who is half Iranian and half German has been strongly interested in the ancient history of the near and middle east in particular Iran.
I am grateful for having found this documentary on the partian empire, which gives detailed information about this time, the conflicts, the reigning kings and what they achieved.
It provides much more than a superficial description of an era.
I appreciate the vivid illustration and context about this period I've been looking for so long.
Let me congratulate you for your successful presentation !
My dear friend do not believe in what you read these all have been done past few centuries when average person did not believe in reading and writing specially Ottomans Turks and Turks families have ruled AR- ATTA ( iran) have brought in farsi those people that read and write farsi they have had done it in their own version of history with the time they have modified it where it is now ! Turks have ruled the empires fars gets the credit ..
@@eddieonsorudi5052 turks came to iran in the 11th century (Seljuks). They established several islamic empires. At the time of the Parthians noone knew anything about Turks.
@@antidweller6373 really ?? Who has thought you all that to you ? Slaves ( ar-yans) came over and they took over in 1936 and they established 10000 years AR-YANA history !!! Gezel Osen by Ormieh is over 6000 years old river Fars have changed to the Zerine a Rood .
AR- DA -BIL city with over 5000 years old name !
Gazwin . Is after Gaz daughter of Ar-yage or Afrasibe according Fear dosie ..
Ar Bil city with over 5000 years old name '
Tramiz or Tarbiz ( fars has made it Tabriz) is over 4000 years old name
lets Talk about the tribes !
Gezel But two bailirlks one by orimieh an other one by the Parsua or Pars
MADAY , MADA , PARMUSH , XARXAR . KISE -SUE SILBER . ARAPHA ..... over 50 tribes just in today's Iran . Kurds was brought in by MADA from Khrasub and Fars was small tribe that they had settled in southern of occupied ELAM by Assyrians ..
Do you know why they used to call our country AR-ATTA for over 6000 years because AR -ATTA MEANS my fathers land . Tribes used to moved out centuries later some used returned back to their fathers land ( ar -atta ) So you picked up one returning tribe history and you have related 600 million Turks history exists in the world to the them . Are not you a fucking a liar fars !!
QUTE ELIE or according you fars qutian empire in 2700 BC established new empire ..
Turck came in power after Qute ELI then Assyrians wars started with Turk tribes ..
Assyrians have written this history if Assyrians did not write it I would settle down to the ALTYA theory . which it dose not answer the questions ..
Turks were in middle east before gods walked on earth .. western policy have been to take out turks from history books .. Turkey did not read Ottoman history for 100 years until 2016 !!!!

hey Yore History, I gotta say that I've really missed this channel. About a month ago my smart phone was accidentally destroyed and for the last few weeks my internet consumption has been quite limited. Hopefully today though I will be able to binge a bit.

Cheers man, glad to have you back :) Have a new episode within the hour and more after that :) Cheers!
@@YoreHistory that's awesome Bro. I had started watching this Parthian Empire video, but then I got called into work. Luckily for me though, I didn't have to go to the States, so I'll be able to binge for a while tonight. I'm glad to see that you haven't been idle, (but I'm not surprised, haha). I also just wanted to say that I had tried being a Patreon to your Channel a few months back, but I'm pretty sure that the payment didn't go through. What had happened was, I had actually gotten my identity stolen (i.e. bank account info). Apparently, One should be very careful when using certain ATMs in the U.S.A. (although probably in Canada too). So I've actually wanted to become an actual paying Patreon, but these last couple months I've been fairly unlucky with technology My Friend, hahaha. But I know that Yore not offended if it takes me a bit to figure it out again, i mean shit I purposefully reverted back to a flip phone recently, hahaha. It's easier for me to manage a flip phone I think.

@Yore History Great video! I really like how you had the dates in the top left of the screen throughout the first half of the video. Is there any chance that you would add that to the second half of the video? Thank you for your hard work!
Hi Alan,
I resorted to mostly reading out the dates in those last videos but have returned to it with the new series (Ottoman/Sassanian). However, its not possible to retroactively go back and add it to an old video. Once it's up, CZcams doesn't allow you to make any additional changes other than trimming.
@@YoreHistory Ok, understood. Have you thought about posting it to additional platforms? They might allow updates.
@@alanbutler7712 I haven't no. I use Facebook and Twitter to promote the channel here but don't post anywhere else :( I mention the date everytime a year is different in the later ones but I know what you mean it was nice for the visual and is why i have gone back to it.

Unfortunately, it is not true. Their history is full of lie and fake histories and this fake history make, Iranian minorities like Persian people, a racist nation and they think they are the best and GOD creat them to be boss for the world but if you look at them today, you will not see anything, that you read in their history.
Thises histories mostly made up by freemasons to defeat Turkish people inside Iran, who had great empires in Iran over 2500. This meaning Iran is originally belong to the Turkish nation not Persian and Persian still are a minority in Iran.

Luv these ancient history tutorials.But,,wish they add modern geographic names wen describing the land this history took place
First thanks for watching and commenting Danya. As for the second portion of your comment. It is always tough deciding on how to present it. I like to present (keeps it interesting for me) it as a time travel piece. IE you are travelling to this time period to experience things as closely as I can make them to how they were recorded. Unfortunately that means i may label a sea differently and I realize not everyone is as good with geography or history as me or wants to do the research after. What I can do is add that to the descriptions of future videos. For example, this series take place in what is now: Mostly Iran, parts of Iraq, Syria, Armenia, Italy, Israel and Egypt.

Sorry, where i can find a list of parthian and sassanid inventions?

Welcome aboard!
Awesome, but I should note something really important here, the name “Parthia” is a title not their actual native name. Their native name was “parnian” and the land they settled was called “Partho-wan” meaning “the land of the sunrise” or sometimes can be translated as “the natives of the East” the word “Parthia” comes from the word “Parth” alone means “those who’s shot never misses” in the ancient Iranian language and has Sanskrit Roots. During their wars against selucia and later the s title was given to them by any other Iranic nations they met. They we’re greatest horse archers of ancient times ,just like their cousins the Scythian.
Also you forgot to mark the Farataraka’s kingdom on the map from 295 b.c. To 220 b.c.
Did you watch the start? I mention that literally first thing i talk about...first part is even called rise of the Parni :) i go into detail on where the name came from.
Yore History yes you mentioned Parni but you didn’t mention why they were called parthian (ofc you didn’t knew it, but later you can add this information to your later videos) that wasn’t their native tribal names nor their lands name, we don’t care about the western names stock on people by historical inaccuracy, that’s why you should have mentioned the current name of their lands too, which is parthowan. Is like someone call Washington , washingmachine, wouldn’t sounds weird to you? Parth is an adjective not a name (Parth-I-an in plural form) It never used in Iran, it was probably how romans heard of parthians horseback skills, like “these warriors are Parth” in Iranian language mean “these warriors are unmatch archers” and if romans of that time used to hear this a lot, that’s where the Latin name Parthicus comes from (Parthia). It’s not an age we ignore eachother, as much as we learn English language and history correct, you should start learn our language and history correct, only because romans sources wrote something doesn’t mean they were correct and smart all the way, they probably didn’t knew much about other people’s and languages outside Italian peninsula. It’s same with these historical terms, if you have a channel you could start teaching the correct information to your viewers. Because we are able to communicate and you are able to understand the meaning behind cultural linguistic values.
@@topgears7775 I did mention it :) They took the name of the Satrap of Parthia which was not their native land and they adopted their language. I mention this all :) I don't go into extreme detail on it but all of it is mentioned. Thanks for your additional information great for those reading the comments. As for me I have studied it extensively and do know :) With videos I usually have to omit some details for pacing etc but their original name and their new name I do cover.
My main goal with the Iranian history videos is to bring the history of the region to those people who grew up watching movies like 300 or other movies where Iranians were the "bad guys". So yes I do use latin/english pronunciations but on occasion if I can find the original pronunciations I will use them. Like for example, Darius. I used his old Persian pronunciation at the start.
Do you know of any Farsi language history channels where they pronounce the names? I could use that for future videos and do a dual pronunciation.
Yore History ok that’s something a lot of Iranians care about, including myself, but also the future people of the planet would be intressted in ,the eastern moral and culture are kinda unknown to the western people, that’s why many of the facts goes missing in the western movies, and sadly in Iran most of movies today are about Islam or family dramas, I hope your channel grows fast, your work worth’s a lot to the people.
realized you have good knowledge of the history of the region ,no doubt about that, I just added these details in the comment to say the Latino name of Parthia is not the same as the native Iranian word for that region. But its not rare anyways, many cultures names are changed when they are heard by other nations.
I myself use persian sources, I use to watch a lot of documents from Afghanistan and Baluchistan to get a better idea of how the parthian words usually pronounced ,since they are very close to eachother. My documented sources are these, one is called “Deh khoda” dictionary. Is all the Middle Persian words gathered by a persian scholar few centuries ago. Also I look at Zoroastrian dictionary for knowing the right pronunciations, i never could find any direct left overs of an ancient achamenid times, there only sources of the ancient Persian sites and tablet plates are translated by pr.zacharia zitchin and pr.Irving frankel that are also available on CZcams and I always watch, the professors usually read the tablets in the native tongue for the audience.but one other and actually really good one is here, you can look for their vids on Avesta-pahlavi ,middle persians, Medes and Ancient persian and all other ancient and modern languages.
Edit: the channel I used to watch is removed, it was called “I love language” I assume they made a new channel, so if you wasn’t to follow them ,I think they are adding all their old videos soon.
@@topgears7775 I now understand what you meant and appreciate your input. Thanks so much for your sources. Too bad the old channel is gone but I will try to find the new one. I will also try to find the others you mentioned. Hopefully once I have some additional time I can focus on learning to read as well as speak. That will make research much easier.
Thank you again, very much appreciated!
Hello, I would like to ask a question.
I found a video on CZcams in which the claim was made that Parthian officials were called "Sophoi" and priests "Magoi" - to make a reference to the Magoi mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, but according to current theory, they were rather Zoroastrian priests from Media (Moghu). Both are, in my opinion, Greek terms that were probably used for these persons in the Hellenistic period, but certainly not by the Parthians or Persians of that time themselves.
Is there any historical evidence that Parthian officials bore such designations? I cannot find any references to this anywhere.
Interesting, I would also be interested in hearing an explanation of this

@@YoreHistory your welcome sir.
A bit long and hard to follow in places. Easier by reference to Roman rulers and military commanders tho. All in all, a worthwhile history.
wish i found this channel sooner
parthian empire, the empire that fought rome to a stalemate and manage to crush rome ambition in the east, sad that it is hardly study in western academics, its always about hannibal, the gauls and the germans when it comes to rome enemies in western universities.
I mean parthian did not have that big of a influence on Rome itself just raid Or skirmis
