Saladin — The King Who Took Back Jerusalem (Full Documentary)

He wasn't born a king. He was a bookish Kurdish boy named Yusuf — and in a single day at the Horns of Hattin, he destroyed an entire Crusader army, captured the True Cross, and took back Jerusalem after 88 years of Christian rule. Then he faced the most famous warrior of his age: Richard the Lionheart. This is the full story of Saladin — Salah al-Din, "Righteousness of the Faith" — from his birth in Tikrit to the siege that stunned the world, and the mercy at the gates of Jerusalem that even his enemies never forgot. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 The Hook — Jerusalem Is About to Fall 01:00 The Boy from Tikrit 06:12 The Day the Cross Fell 08:35 Eighty-Eight Years 12:50 The Lion and the Sultan 👍 If this story moved you, subscribe to Chronicles of Time — a new full documentary every day. 🔔 Turn on the bell so you never miss an episode. #Saladin #Jerusalem #Crusades #RichardTheLionheart #BattleOfHattin #Documentary #History #ChroniclesOfTime #SalahAlDin #MedievalHistory AI disclosure: This video contains AI-generated visuals and AI voiceover.
