Inside Islam’s Legendary Assassin Order | Relaxing History Documentary

Описание: In the rugged mountains of Persia and Syria, a secretive brotherhood emerged—masters of disguise, infiltration, and targeted death. This documentary tells the story of the Hashashins, the feared Nizari Ismaili sect whose name would echo through history as the origin of the word “assassin.”

Wielding daggers instead of armies, they operated through fear, precision, and absolute devotion. Who were the men behind the cloaked myth? How did a small sect challenge sultans, crusaders, and caliphs alike? And what truths lie buried beneath centuries of legend, secrecy, and propaganda?

Climb the heights of Alamut, trace the silent footsteps of covert missions, and uncover how a mountain stronghold gave rise to one of history’s most enduring shadows.
