313 men against a thousand: how thirst and cold calculation crushed the Meccan elite. Great battles and world history in this documentary.

In the spring of 624, the fate of Arabia was decided in the Hejaz desert. We will study infantry tactics (the "saff" formation), analyze the mistakes of the Quraysh command, and present a large-scale historical reenactment of the Battle of Badr. Why did the discipline of the exiles prove stronger than the cavalry of the aristocrats? You will see how the personal vengeance of the former slave Bilal turned the battlefield into a place of bloody retribution, and discover the terrible price paid for Abu Jahl's hubris.

Subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with new investigations. Was it fair to use the literacy of prisoners as ransom, or was it simply a pragmatic move by a political strategist? We look forward to hearing from you in the comments.
