The Fall of the Sassanian Persian Empire: How Ancient Iran Collapsed

Описание: Welcome to History of Us, where we explore the incredible story of humanity.

How did the mighty Sassanian Empire, a superpower that rivaled Rome, fall so quickly to a smaller army from the desert? In this documentary, we uncover the tragic fall of Ancient Persia. From the golden halls of Ctesiphon to the bloody sands of Al-Qadisiyah, this is a story of internal betrayal, exhausted armies, and a child king forced to fight an impossible war.

We explore the deadly mistakes of King Yazdegerd III, the heroic stand of General Rostam Farrokhzad, and the cultural tragedy of the Baharestan Carpet.
