How did the Fatimids conquer Egypt? ⚔️ A pivotal moment in Islamic History ⚔️ DOCUMENTARY 

Fatimids were an absolute calamity. They even had their own honorius in the form of Al mustansir.

Can u do battle of Khazer river

The Fatimids temporarily controlled eastern Morocco,

Thank you for this video and once again spreading your knowledge and history to others alike thx much

Nice video

i always feel that medieval Egypt is very underrated. it's always either Ancient Egypt or Muhammad Ali's dynasty and modern Egypt. rarely does anyone speak of medieval times (outside the crusades context(

@@shakalalalalkh1098 Yeah, the politics were like Game of Thrones if not more violent. A political thriller set in this time period would be great!

Especially preislamic ☀️

@AlHasan Sameh with respect to the mongols, not exactly. The Mamluk army was largely composed of Turkic slaves. Also, Beibars, the main guy in charge of the defense of Egypt and Syria, was Turkic and once a slave of mongols.

@@xZxOxVx islamic egyptian history is the one of the best and most underrated fields of history

Welcome to the hypetrain. i liked every video if this channel

dont worry , you are not carthagenian, chill

@@100monotheist-fkeroffalseg8 Carhagenians were middle easterners/north Africans. And the Phoenicians are the true fathers of Europe 😉 ask the ancient Greeks who get that claim.

It was indeed a very important region to control, unfortunately the Egyptians lost their founding culture and language (except the 10 million Coptic Christians but the language is liturgical, like hebrew was until 1947) now Egypt doesn't view itself as Egyptian first but as arab and muslim. Thats why most people don't consider egypt as an ancient nation, because the culture is too different. Iran, Greece, China, Israel, Armenia all were invaded but kept their original cultures and mostly , their native languages

Old Cairo is a medieval Islamic city but modern Cairo include ancient regions beside it. If u visit Cairo one day u will see babylon fortress a roman one and many medieval mosques and churches. Alexandria is a ptolmaic city and in upper Egypt u can see the ancient version of Egypt especially in Luxor and Aswan. I really like the diversity of cultures and architectures in Egypt.

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 Israel didn’t keep it’s native language. In fact, modern Hebrew is an artificial creation. Jews also don’t have a unified culture, and they definitely don’t practice Ancient Hebraic culture

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 honestly China similarly has losy a lot of its identity and history under the current regime. Both Egypt and China have survived as states but the idea of being "Chinese" is quite recent. Most people who lived in ancient China would be quite upset at the Han's cultural dominance and now its total spiritual rejection.

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 "now Egypt doesn't view itself as Egyptian first but as arab and muslim" - That is so wrong, first of all Islam is a religion so there is no conflict between it and nationality or cultural identity, and being "Arab" we don't view ourselves as ethnically arab, but as a part of a bigger nation that shares historical, cultural, and linguistic traits, think of latin america for example. It's a similar case. Another example is Europe but without the linguistic part, being "European" and for example German, or French, is exactly the same as being "Arab" and Egyptian, or Lebanese for example. But first and foremost we are Egyptians, there is a reason that Egypt passed through so many different ideologies, religious sects, and cultures and still maintained its borders and etymology. In addition to all the artifacts, tombs, and temples that you can visit in Egypt today, they weren't just protected by Egyptian people because they look nice, but because we've always viewed it as our identity, and what our great grandfathers left us. I know it is hard to completely realize it, but A LOT of time has passed since the last pharaoh, Ancient Egypt was Ancient even during the time of the Roman Empire.

Thanks.

شحال عندك من كونت ….

yeay, and they're actually not descended from Fatimah, but Ubaidillah, so muslim reference called them Ubaidillahid instead of Fatimid

Fatimid Caliphate is Tunisian. Its first capital was "Mehdia", which is a Tunisian town. Then, its second capital became "Mensouriya", which is another town in Tunisia. The Fatimid caliphate moved to Egypt, making Cairo its capital. Fatimides tried so hard to invade MOROCCO, but Moroccans didn't accept their rule. Algerians PLZ stop lying to ppl here. Fatimide are Tunisians! They have nothing to do with Algeria! The Algerian towns you mentioned were just a part of the Tunisian Fatimid Caliphate. Voila! :D

@@moromohammed4223 yeah Tunisia belonged to the Fatimids not the other way around. And Morocco was invaded by Fatimids too

here we go north african nationalists will start fighting over who the fatimid are from to claim any pride in their mediocre history.

its for the grains

You Kabyle?

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 no, kabyle are more western and I’m more eastern

Mubarak ya Al Jazair 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I love the kutama Berbers So amazing history The founders of the fatimid caliphate Super loyalists and sacrificing

That was rather obscure.

@@davidhughes8357 not at all, I and several other people that gave the thumbs up noticed it too.

You're right. I really enjoy this channel, but I feel this video was a bit rushed.

Quit complaining about normal stuff and enjoy the video

@@AhmedFathy-lt6wl be grateful that they are even making this content instead of agreeing with a dude who just wants to complain

Jawhar could also mean tactical i think. Because Jawhari weapon is word used for Nuclear weapon in Urdu language that has evolved from Arabic.

Jawhar means skill for sure much as I know urdu. When fighter pilots show manoeuvres during air show it's also called Jawhar.

@@blackpanthar906 That's interesting to hear but the timelines don't match at all as Urdu came a few hundred years after Jawhar's time

Actually jawhar means essence Jawhara means jewel

@@ntluck1592 I don't think that matters because language comes from root language and Arabic is root language for urdu as urdu was used by Arabs in order to communicate with their Indian subjects. It contains many words from 9th or 10th century Arabic when Islamic empire was at it's peak. Jawahar literally means a skill.

Weren't some fatimid crazy and a bit greedy, a read about one that imposed the jizhia on the sunnies and didn't allow them to travel in the nile.

It is not possible to explain the history of Egypt in detail during the study period. If you focus, you will find many things like this, so you will find us watching channels like these.

I think that the reason is a sectarian reason (unfortunately some peoples have not yet got rid of the religious heritage of the Middle Ages)

They weren't like "sure,why not ?" They were heavily persecuted but they kept their faith.

@@azizbey4334 Isma'ili culture never adopted mass conversion, even today we don't proselytize. Fatimid Vizirs included a practicing Jew and a Catholic and Oriental Christian generals, so one didn't need to be Isma'ili to gain power or status. We're pretty chill about religion.

Their only contender would be Carthage

@@nenenindonu Or Bahri Mamluks and Khedivate

@@papazataklaattiranimam Bahri Mamluks had a solid win ratio trashing Crusaders and Mongols at the same time. I'd say they are the greatest N.African empire in terms of military

Was the fatimids of berber or arab origins?

@@kk-en8ns Thank you so much for your kindness 🤗 Is my English really good? 😅 In fact, I am a university student. I study English literature and Inshallah a year later I graduate.

Actually the accent of the speaker of this channel is very good 😊. Anyway, nice to meet you bro. I hope to have a good day. And if you need something to know about Islam or our Middle Eastern culture, I am ready to answer or help you Inshallah. Best wishes 🌹

qaher means dirty, not mars

But most of peopel know how they end, with tbe conquest of salah eddine

The Graphics of kings and generals is impressive

the people who live under fatimid caliphate are mostly sunnis this is why they never accomplish the shism and also in north africa they lost power to zirids sunni and the seljuks also from the east

Yeah the literal Abbasid Caliphate was a vassal of a Shi'a state .

Buyids, Qarmatians and Fatimids💀💀💀

And I thought that Shia islam originated in Persia. Ive always readed "Persia s'islam is Shia"

جاء صلاح الدين وأنهى دولتهم في مصر وحاربهم في اليمن تلك الأيام وحرر القدس من الصليب 💪

Yes they conquered Sicily and it remained under Muslim rule till the Normans conquered it

Really cool part of history were islamic, Jewish, eastern and western Christians lived pretty well together. The cross over culture is unique and amazing. Norman sicily left some really beautiful art and architecture.

Sicily got passed around like a blunt throughout the millenia, fascinating history to look into

@@handsofrand6660 well thats an expression ive never heard.... Dead on in this case! Lol

Subnautica is a good game.

He was born a muslim and was raised in Tunisia

Both were shia but Al-Mukhtar was at the time of the Martyrdom of Al-Husayn some 400 years before the Fatimids, at his time their was no split between shia as the Fatimids were Ismaili while the main stream shia are twelver, the revolt of Al-Mukhtar was to revenge Al-Husayn's murder

@@mhmadbedrddeen3414 1000 years? dude, mukhtar and husayn and fatimids lived 400 years apart, not 1000

Was it like not holly not roman and not an empire?

@@puraLusa Late Abbasid had Caliphs that were drunkard puppets (=Not Holy), No longer from Quraish (=Not Roman), Had many "vassals" who were in reality independent and even sometimes controlled the Caliphate (Not an Empire).

Nah that was the Seljuks. The Levant was stable until they attacked the Fatimids, Hamdanids and Byzantines who had peace with each other.

@@tylerellis9097 the Seljuks saved Levant a** tbh. The only force that faced the crusaders were the Seljuks and from their Emirs and generals the restoration campaigns started. If u read the bloody fallen of Jerusalem, u will see how the Fatimid were so wicked to support it or even do any resistance. A big caliphate like the Fatimid was expected to stand for the holy city. A to prove my point, u will see that clearly after the restoration of EGYPT to the Abbasid Caliphate, uniting it with Levant it was just a matter of time to retake back Jerusalem.

i think he will mention it because the main army is from kutama and ikjan still stand today and it was the first capital of the fatimids

Yeah, it was the kutama tribe that basically built the empire

Another algerian trying to still other's history, the Kutama tribesmen were nothing more than just mercenaries, they did not build the empire nor did they rule it, they were just mercenaries just like the numidian mercenaries of hannibal, does that mean that the Numidians ruled Carthage ? Of course not, and even then the area were the Kutama tribe lives at the time was part of the Aghlabid dynasty and therefore Tunisia, we should not mention modern borders when talking about history, specially since the border between Tunisia and Algeria were established in the Ottoman era, before that Tunisia was called Ifriqiya and eatern algeria and western libya were part of it

@@hamzahammami22 kutama belong to central Maghreb and ancient land of Numidia which today is Algeria and all kutama people are Algerian. So yeah Tunisian mate. You’re lano was basically conquered , stop crying

@@nourerrahmanebrahmia4035 the kutama are from what is now eastern algeria, and the "ancient land of numida" was part of Carthage for centuries before having their independence with the help of Rome, and as I said before eastern Algeria was part of Ifriqiya, and that's something you can not deny, and Tunisia is the obvious successor of Ifriqiya, the thing you call "conquest of Tunisia" was a revolution not a conquest, and I'm pretty sure a what I assume a guy/girl with some knowledge in history would know the difference between conquest and revolution, if not then I'll explain to you, a conquest usually means a war between two countries, which is not the case here since the Fatimids did not actually rule a country nor did they have a capital, amd secondly a conquest can not happen within a country since as I said the Aghlabids controlled the land in which the kutama people resigned

jaffar ibn fallah😊 it was a caliphate because imam abdullah al mahdi was blood of ali and fatima❤
