The Real Assassin's Creed: Deadliest Special Forces Of The Dark Ages - Ancient Black Ops

The Order of Assassins were the deadliest special forces of the Medieval world. They were masters of disguise and stealth, wielding psychological warfare as their greatest weapon. Originating in 11th-century Persia, the Assassins, led by Hassan-i Sabbah.

They targeted prominent figures, including Sunni leaders, employing tactics like stabbing with stilettos and slashing with concealed weapons. The Assassins successfully assassinated key figures, instilling fear and dread across the Middle East. The part where Saladins two most trusted bodyguards revealed themselves as sleeper assassins was crazy awesome.

Imagine the horror Saladin must have experienced in that moment....I'm super surprised that you didn't mention the fact that the cool hidden wrist blade from the game ACTUALLY DID exist and was actually used... they invented and manufactured a type of dagger that was kind of a gravity assisted design that activated by swinging their hand around or flicking their wrist.

It wasn't widely used and difficult to make, but they did exist, and some were found, and many were directly mentioned in sources. The design was just kept a secret forever until the discovery, but I think the military banning them or deciding they're "impractical" helped wipe out our knowledge of them even further.

I guess it's not really that relevant to the topic and would have added more time to the video, but I think it's still worth mentioning it, and it should have been mentioned in the video because I really truly believe from being a historian and reading sources, and seeing pictures of the artifacts, that this kind of blade was used in at least one of or maybe even all of the attacks that you talked about in the video.

It's just an interesting fact to know...so I let everyone else know because I knew it.
