Rise of the Seljuk Empire - Nomadic Civilizations DOCUMENTARY 

Finnaly I've been waiting for the seljuks thanks kings

@WesterGamers TV 12 i first wht you on abt

@WesterGamers TV 12 ima muslim but not a turk

Dear Kings and Generals. Can I ask you a favor?? Please make a video about 'Goguryeo' in Korean ancient history. If you create such content, it will be enjoyed by subscribers all over the world. I am enjoying your videos. Have a good time ☺

Kings & Generals please add Turkish subtitle?

Turks were good at building states & empires, but their creations were rarely living long. Main reasons were geopolitics, diversity of people and lost of qualified rulers.

Some credit also has to be given to Iran and China. Take the Seljuqs as an example their administration was based on that of the Iranain empires before them.

@@onur6145 Ottomans and Mughal lasted a while tho

@@dogeofgreatness2222 They adopt everywhere they go whether it is their humble beginnings when they were black smiths in the forests of Northeastern Asia to finding Gokturk empire in Mongolia to Seljuks , Ottomans , the Mamluks of Egypt , Delhi sultanate , the Ghaznavids the Khazars, the Golden Horde to Mughal Empire these nomadic people are pretty good at state building

Turks adopted the Iranian style of governance. Even the dynasties adopted Iranian culture.

A bunch of history nuts arguing about flags, lol im in heaven

@Kadir Garip Byzantines didn’t use coat of arms yet and the most common symbol in the Middle Period was the Chi Rho or basic Cross.

Destek

Both Seljuks and Huns used the same symbol on their flags the 'Turul bird' which derived from Turkic mythology 🦅

Magyar too, Khazar too, bolghar too, they are member Kingdom of the Huns

@@nenenindonu Actually it was a symbol of Kayi tribe (Seljuks), and Dulu tribe (Bulgars). That’s it. Do not confuse people with all Huns/Xiongnu., and magyar legend of Tugrul bird.

@Bardia gh there is not a seperate name in history as Turk or Turkic. This is how the westerners called people after centuries. There was a Turk name for longer than a thousand years but also there was a name Turkman/Türkmen. Turkic is just an English word to refer people. If you want to think about this name, both Turks and Turkics established many empires in the history. Because Turks are the part of the Turkic. And if you want to talk about Turkish history, learn it first.

@Bardia gh At 2:07 they say it even in this video that they were Turks.

@Bardia gh what are you on? It is like Eagles and eaglets are different... They are the same...

@Bardia gh I am half Cuman half Tatar. I am Türk.

@Bardia gh ancestors of Turkmenistan and Turkey and also Azerbaijan for example are same; Oghuz. We come from Oghuz Turks and Oghuz are part of Gokturks. Read some books so you can learn Turkish history a little bit.

@Sasist nah

@Sasist great but not better then the ottomans for few reasons

@@kelso7206 to me it ain't

Mainly because they gave up their nomadic Horde-like lifestyles and adopted a more civilized structure of government. The Seljuqs adopted many essentials from the Samanid Persia to produce a machine of an empire which they gallantly became.

@@omarn7650 What about Huns, Göktürks and Mongols?

Living in steppe while you are at early medieval age is the key. Not humans, all livings are stronger when they face extremes

@@MustafaMertSenay they weren't really civilisations either, they were pretty much hordes (although the Mongols were a mix or 'in the process') They carried their empires on the backs of horses and in tents for the most part. Nothing wrong with that, but most Turks only truly civilized after converting to Islam and taking up Samanid influence. Peoples such as Romans, Persians, Greeks, Mayans, Arabs, Egyptians, Israelites, etc. formed civilisations with distinct characteristics to their civilisations. The old Turks, although ruled the steppe are similar in nature to the native Americans of the Americas or the Bedouins of Arabia/Sahara. The Mongols never truly had a civilisation, in its most mediocre definition, they also ran across Asia just sacking city after city, not caring once about a currency, or even statehood nonetheless. This is one of the main reasons why some don't consider the Mongols to have been an Empire but rather just a horde. One wouldn't refer to the Gokturks as a civilisation as they always remained nomadic, the Huns somewhat became civilized but even that is debatable and the Mongols were just way too decentralized to ever form a Mongol civilization and put its name up there with the Greeks, Romans, Abyssinians, Persians, Chinese etc. The first major Turkish civilization were the Seljuqs probably.

Currency as In a unified currency across the Empire, like the Denar.

@Black Wolf Indeed, this goes all the way to China, especially when talking about Steppe civilizations. The domino effect is real, A stone falls In the far east, and ripples extend all the way to the Atlantic.

“Another excellent, informative video” would’ve said just as much as you did. You tried hard with this sentence.

I love that out of all of the comments in the comment section, K&G decided to reply to the guy asking the big questions here 😂

My grandpa still alive and still nomadic had 9000 sheep and 400 cattle at one point, and every clan had different jobs for each family and those jobs were inherited from father to son, for example they had a family of Shepard’s that were only responsible for herding and keeping sheep, another family commonly called “qurd” (means wolf) would be the thieves and warriors,

The Seljuks conquered a vast realm but they could hardly muster more than 30000-40000 men.Hence they would appoint semi-autonomous leaders in their remote unstable areas that acted under their suzeiranty.

I don't believe the Turkish should be considered as "Turkic" or nomadic because their DNA is pretty much all Greek, Iranian and Arab. Seljuk himself wouldn't look like a modern Turkish person but rather like a Mongolian, Kyrgyz or Kazakh. The modern Turkish language is also not the same as the one that Seljuk spoke because 90% of modern Turkish is made up of foreign words. What do you think of this?

@@jihangirastra3851 İf modern turkish isnt same seljuks language Then how understand each other anatolian türks and Türkmenistan Turks. Seljuks also ancestors of turks of Türkmenistan.

@@vehbisabanc7843 This is because about 90% of modern Turkish words are from the Arabic, Iranian and Greek languages. And the modern Turkmen language is also heavily damaged like this, but not to the same extent as the Turkish.

Good examples are Zengid, the emir of Mosul, the Seljuk of rum, and kharezm.

@@scourgeofgodattila3827 I know ☺️. But their base of power was in Persia, and sometimes Irak, (when the Sultan resided in Baghdad, along with the Abbasid Court), since the Seljuks portrayed themselves as the Guardians of Islam in the name of the Caliph.

@@sodinc But still it is the rule of nature. Look I am no fan of Darwinism ( I am Muslim) but the society prospers and thrives in shadow of great men. Sometimes in literature in my country( Pakistan) the period of Mongol conquests is roughly called " Drought of Men". The Muslim World at that time was suffering from lack of good leaders. In Middle East, some were hunted by Assassins and rest of the situation was not good. Even today our countries are in turmoil suffering from same malice that they faced in 13th century. And the whole World is going to face yet another disaster in shape of Men going weak and Women being in Power. I personally say that by destroying culture and by turning basic social hierarchy that has been the core of Human Civilization will prove no good. Muslim Countries are yet saved from such mess but the Satanists are locking their aim on them. First they destroy Family, then population decreases, then if there are children they are bastards. So a whole society is brought down upon its knees. Muslims are warned from this. Their ideas seem radical to world around them but these ideas are what which is saving them. May Allah protect them. If they follow same Western shit then they will have weak men and gays and their fate will be devastating.

@@usmanzafar4751 yes, this way of life can give more positives in a long run. About the "drought of man" - it is very well described by the passionarity theory of Gumilev. It explains a lot of social downfalls in human history (together with external factors, of course). Not sure if is books were published outside of Russia, but i suggest some reading about it. According to his theory almost all western nations are in suicide spiral, basically.

@@sodinc Yes they are. Look how strange is that often the thing that is your strength becomes your weakness. In case of Western Countries, Reason, Freedom and Logic. They broke free from things that were holding their back and now they are so free that they have fallen from status of humans. They are the same people who brag about going to Moon yet now their logic is so deluded that they are destroying their social fabric. Maybe the nations have some sort of lifetime, they have their Springs and Autumns. Like every Sun which rises, sets.

@@usmanzafar4751 westerners have mostly abandoned logic already and they are ruled by feelings, it seems. Many of them, at least.

Turkey is barely a 2nd world country. There will be no "rise to dominance". The world remembers Armenia.

@@Johnny_Tambourine the world can remember Armenia all it wants. The Turks gave them another arsehole just a couple of months ago, the world did nothing.

Well turkey is regional player in modern middle east politics especially turkey is involved war’s in syria so yeah turkey is a regional player

Nobody will know what the future holds. We are still struggling to have our "Turkish" enlightenment like Europe did after the middle age era. After that, I doubt Turks will become a dominant force in the world, the Turks will become a military section of the United Nations of Earth. If nations decide to unite under one flag.

Correct, Kings and Generals was an amazing channel in the past as they were using multiple sources and trying to tell history as accurate as possible but sadly after a point they completely ditched this and accordingly their video quality dramatically dropped!! Such as in this video they didn't only make a huge Jand-Cend mistake also managed to claim a complete nonsense as ''Seljuks only had 100 men'' while in reality Selçuk wasn't only an Oghuz Yagbu general also an Oghuz Yagbu BEY (Similar to lord) so his own oba (Nomadic village) had thousands of people if not tens of thousands without any question!! In fact his force was strong enough that he was planning to become the ruler of Oghuz Yagbu but he revealed his intention too early and had to retreat after loyal forces united against him. And he didn't retreat into Jand indeed rather stayed in southeastern Oghuz Yagbu called Cend where Muslim Turks were majority and became a Muslim as well. He continued gathering a force there and started a Muslim rebellion against Oghuz state which was partially successful and he died in today's Kazakhistan. It was his sons who decided fighting against Tengri Turks for barren lands was just pointlessly dividing their forces so they started to invade southwards and westwards while even more Turkic people joining their army in a search of fertile lands, in fact vast majority of historians agree that majority of Seljuk armies were Tengri not Muslim after a point. And Seljuk Beys kept returning to central Asia for recruiting more soldiers even after their victory against Byzantine!! Such as it is known Kütalmışoğlu Süleyman went all the way back to Tashkent in 1072 and recruited a large army with much larger following ''army'' which was families of those soldiers!! After Süleyman captured several towns in Anatolia many Turkish families migrated into those places. Turkish invasion was much much less destructive than Mongol invasion etc and they tried to use diplomacy as much as they could indeed simply because they didn't only want gold like Mongols rather they wanted to live there which wasn't possible if they made locals their enemies...

I am from Punjab From what I can see, Jand wasn't of any significance in Punjabi history, it appears to be just a small town, I highly doubt the death happened there. The closest notable city to Jand would be Attock.

@Black Wolf Thank you very much for this enlightening information, hopefully over time I will become more knowledgeable of the Suljuks and can let more people know about their achievements!

@Black Wolf If Seljuks were so determined and successful in their sunni shiite religious war then why did many Turkmens became Batıni Shia and almost destroyed Anatolian Seljuks in Baba Ilyas revolt?

@Black Wolf Madrasah education was a doctrinal education. That was the problem with it. Due to this its propaganda was limited to urban centers. Shia had the superior propaganda power. It would send "dai"s to Turkmens. Baba Ilyas, Dede Garkin, Hadji Bektash Veli etc. Many of these would spread their propaganda among Turkmens by playing baglama. Vefaiyyah, Batiniyyah, Khaydariyyah were the most widespread among Turkmens. I am telling this because you said majority of Turks adopted the sunni hanafi interpretion of islam but in fact sunnism was limited to urban centers and Turkmens were uneffected by the doctrinal madrasah propaganda. Of course Baba Ilyas revolt was a revolt what do you mean? It was such a great revolt that Seljuks had to hire Frankish mercenaries to destroy them because Turkmens completely destroyed the Seljuk army. In fact Mongols seeing this weakness attacked Seljuks and thats how battle of Kosedag was lost.

@Black Wolf Where did I ever say the state wasnt sunni? Did I ever contradict this? I am telling you, madrasah education was limited to urban city centers. All those scholars, clergs you listed, they meant zero to nomadic Turkmens. It was ''the few names'' I listed that inspired the Turkmen spiritual mentality. It was highly doctrinal so sunni madrasah teachings couldnt make their way to nomadic Turkoman tribes. Shia dais were far more successful at relating to Turkmens. Unlike the doctrinal madrasah teachings they would know how to relate to illiterate nomad Turkmens. They would use baglama and inspire the Turkmens. It was the Baba Ilyas, Baba Haydar, Dede Garkin, Baba Ishak, Hacı Bektaş who were esteemed the highest among Turkmens. Not those ''litteratours''. And it wasnt the creeds like maturidism that played a spiritual role among Turkmens. It was the syncretical shia sufi tariqahs like Haydarism, Babaism, Batinism, Kalenderism, Vefaism and later Bektashism that had credent on Turkmens. The state and cities were sunni thats another case but Turkmens were not. In fact there were some Seljuk statesman who previously created strong bounds with some of these Turkmen tariqahs to have political backing of the Turkmens.
