The Rise and Fall of Sparta (Full Documentary)

Описание: Discover the complete, unvarnished story of ancient Sparta, the most militaristic society in human history. This 2-hour feature-length documentary explores the brutal truth behind the legend, from Sparta's bloody rise to its spectacular, self-inflicted fall.

Witness the forging of the perfect army through the "agoge," a state-sponsored system of child abuse designed to create human weapons, and the "crypteia," a secret police force that used murder to terrorize an enslaved population that outnumbered their masters ten to one. We explore Sparta's finest hour at Thermopylae, their hollow victory in the Peloponnesian War, and the fatal demographic crisis and strategic inflexibility that led to their shocking defeat at Leuctra and their slow, painful decline into irrelevance.

This is the story of how an obsession with military perfection built a legend, and then destroyed a civilization.
