Your Life as a Spartan

Описание: YOU'RE A SPARTAN (AND THAT'S YOUR WHOLE LIFE)

You're standing in the front row of the phalanx. Thousands of Persians are running towards you. Your spear is broken, and your shield is cracking from the blows. This is not a movie. These are Thermopylae through the eyes of a warrior.

Welcome to 480 BC. In this video, we will live the fate of one of the 300 Spartans of King Leonidas — from the brutal training in Agog to his last breath in the rain of Persian arrows.

This is not a boring history lecture. This is a hard POV simulator (Point of View) where you will feel the weight of a bronze shield, the pain of wounds and the fury of melee combat.

Historical background: The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the most famous battles of antiquity, where 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Greeks held a narrow passage against the army of thousands of the Persian Empire led by King Xerxes. This feat has become a symbol of courage and military discipline. We used Herodotus' data and modern archaeological research to recreate the details.

, In this issue you will see:

Biomechanics of combat: How the Spartans fought in close quarters and why they were called the "living tanks" of antiquity.

Equipment: Complete disassembly of equipment — helmet, shell, Dori spear and Xiphos sword.

Psychology: How does a person feel when he knows that he is going to certain death for the sake of the law "Not a step back"?

Myth Busting: Were there a million Persians? Did the Spartans fight bare-chested?
