This very informative piece, posted on the Cracked YouTube channel reveals the inaccuracies presented in the 2006 Hollywood film, ‘300’ about the battle between Spartan King, Leonidas and his force of 300 men who fought the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 BC.
At the time of its release, the film was criticized for its bigoted depiction of the ancient Persians but this piece really breaks down how factually wrong this film actually is, presented by a dynamic American youth.
It’s important to note that 50% of the population of modern-day Iran is under the age of 35 and the Theocrats ruling that country today may not be around for too much longer, in this ancient nation, which has seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations – and which we discover here, have contributed to institutions which are considered to be “Western”.
