Crusader Fortresses: Military Marvels of the Lebanon and Middle East - Full Easy Documentary

Discover the military and architectural inventiveness of the Crusaders’ castles, built to defend the Middle East, a region where Christian and Muslim forces clashed for nearly two centuries.. 🏰⚔️ At the end of the 11th century, the First Crusade armies swept across the Near East. After taking Jerusalem in 1099, they controlled a Christian territory with shifting borders that they would defend by building the biggest and strongest fortresses ever constructed at the time. Each new weapon deployed by the Muslims would be systematically countered by an architectural innovation. And over the nearly two centuries in which those Crusades continued, a fever of construction and innovation was ignited that is matchless in the annals of military architecture. But beyond their expertise in building defenses, the Crusaders were also excellent construction site managers, erecting their castles quickly, skillfully and solidly. We see it in Crac des Chevaliers in Syria, Caesarea Wall in Israel, Belvoir Castle in Israel, Sagette Castle in Lebanon, and Gibelet Castle in Byblos, Lebanon. The Crusaders demonstrated extraordinary military genius to invade and retain territories in the Middle East. Through the history of these five emblematic places, and thanks to interviews with the greatest international experts and spectacular three-dimensional reconstructions, we will discover the secrets of these impregnable megastructures. 🔔 Subscribe now and hit the notification bell to embark on a journey of knowledge and discovery with us.
