I learned about this on a show on history channel about ancient persia, but I never saw the battle like this! I understand more now!

Now i finally know how many Greeks were there.

also note:
there were 300 thousand persians not 250 thousand as far as other sources go, including another history channel show.

30 thousand not 10 thousand persians died, as far as other sources go, including another history channel show.

also a minor problem with their graphics: the greeks most likely had arm armor, but we're not completely sure.

i saw it and learned more about any historical event faster than i ever have (no offense mr. bally) and i never knew a thing about the persian wars, now i feel as if i know everything about that battle. [Hey! I found the video! That's kind of like teaching...right?]

Like Faran said, this was a very time-saving way of learning about the ancient wars. (no offense) I guess the video made it easy to see exactly what was going on, so the words had more impact.

i guess you are right Mr Bally you found the video so it is like teaching. also i bet you learned something from it. also, Zack maybe this show was right and the other sources were wrong. that is the hard part with archeaology. you never know if you are right or wrong.
