They were running. 200,000 Roman soldiers. The largest army Byzantium had assembled in a century.
And then they reached the edge.
The cliff was called Wadi al-Ruqqad. A 200-foot drop into a rocky ravine. And on August 20th, 636 AD, it became the grave of an empire.
The man who drove them there? Khalid ibn al-Walid. The Sword of God. He'd been waiting six days for this exact moment.
🎯 IN THIS VIDEO: ✅ Why Emperor Heraclius sent 200,000 soldiers to crush the Muslims ✅ How Khalid held the line for 6 days against impossible odds ✅ The "Glitch": The tactical trap on Day 6 that caused mass panic ✅ The horror of 70,000 Romans falling into the Wadi al-Ruqqad ravine ✅ How one battle erased 700 years of Roman history in 3 hours
