The Real Assassin's Creed: Deadliest Special Forces Of The Dark Ages | Ancient Black Ops | Chronicle

This was probably the most successful guerrilla group that history has and truly earned the term ancient black ops.

The part where Saladins two most trusted bodyguards revealed themselves as sleeper assassins was crazy awesome. Imagine the horror Saladin must have experienced in that moment....

notice how this is a better story than the last few assassins creed games were. they need to make games from real history stories like this.

I thank Abstergo for making this video available. Also thanks AC for teaching me more then school ever did even if it was a work of fiction

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.

Excited to listen to this while I go to sleep!:)

DUDE, its so cool hearing that the world assassin basically means weed head lol. this really puts ac 1 in new light though, makes me want to replay it

With me being a big Assassin's creed fan I knew I'd enjoy this thanks very much 👍👍👍👏👏👏

21:21, actually to the contrary. You use the drug to focus on the task and not worry about everything that could happen. I knew a few people that used to graffiti in really dangerous places, and they say when they are sober, they are thinking of everything that could happen when they are high thinking of the work

Who decided it was a good idea to show cars and modern day outfits on people in the cutscenes? Kills the aesthetic

Had no clue assassin's creed was so accurate to the real assassin's

im going to jump on assassins creed now while watching this 😂😂😁😁

That jujitsu guy seems a little too enthusiastic. Maybe excuse yourself to go to the bathroom if you meet him at a party

I've been waiting a long time for this episode

Great post. I found it fascinating.

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 am a nizari ismaili and there are a lot of sources which defame our community's history, i would encourage others to take a look at us today

Very educative subject ❤

"a psychological dent"...understatement of the millenia.
