00:30Don't be afraid, my little one, you are my guest today.
00:34No creature would dare to harm my guests.
00:38Do you hear, Raad?
00:42Learn to use your strength for good.
00:46And be merciful to those who are weaker than you.
00:50So that He who is mightier than you may have mercy on you
00:53Don't be like Abraha the Hamashin
00:56The owner of the elephant, who became a proverb used to describe foolishness and pride in power.
01:03And by foolishness I mean Abraha, of course, not the poor elephant.
01:07You don't know the story
01:11Good
01:13Sit quietly while I tell you
01:45majestic
01:46Learn to hit the ground hard
01:50To announce to all your arrival, O majestic one
01:53I will, Dad.
01:54But I wanted to play and bathe in the mud pool.
01:58There are things more important than playing
02:01like what?
02:04For example, searching for food?
02:06Food is everywhere
02:08We eat grass and plants
02:10We do not prey on others.
02:12Just like the lion, the king of the jungle
02:14Who said the lion is the king of the jungle?
02:16Most animals
02:18These are unbelievable rumors.
02:20Dad, I want to bathe by the mud pool.
02:24I am waiting
02:26What will you do?
02:39This is my own dilemma
02:43No one has bathed in it before me
02:45Thank you, Dad
03:03What is the opinion of my lord, King Abraha?
03:06In the training of the jinn
03:07These are all old methods of fighting
03:11All Arab tribes know her
03:14As we know it in Yemen
03:16But our soldiers
03:18They are more skilled in martial arts than others.
03:22This is not enough
03:23I want a special army
03:25Terrify the enemies
03:26He will crush them utterly without resistance.
03:29Should we use chariots?
03:32Like those that existed with the Pharaohs?
03:35I don't want a weapon that has never been used before.
03:39It cannot be confronted or stopped.
03:42Like elephants rushing through the jungles of Africa
03:45Yes, we drank elephant water
03:49Where are you going, Dad?
03:51This is none of your business.
03:53You shouldn't go out alone in the dark.
03:56Will you be able to control your father now that he is older?
04:00No, Dad, I didn't mean it.
04:01But please allow me to accompany you.
04:05no
04:12Why?
04:13Forget the silly questions
04:16Listen to me now, for I may not speak to you again today.
04:20I hear you, Father
04:21I feel my strength
04:23You are leaving me
04:25But I see my strength in your body.
04:29Listen
04:31Listen, my son
04:32I have bought a villa in Sharifah
04:35I don't understand you, Dad.
04:36I
04:38I did not use my power to oppress any creature.
04:42This is the honor of elephants
04:44I did not wrong an innocent person
04:47I did not strike a weak person
04:49There may come a moment when you face a difficult test
04:56May honor always prevail.
04:58It's your choice in life
05:01Count now
05:03And take care of the faction
05:05Have the hunters returned from the forests of Africa?
05:09They haven't returned yet, sir.
05:11Why?
05:13What caused the delay?
05:15We had to arrange for the transport of the elephants, after they were captured, from Africa to Yemen.
05:20And designing special cages for them
05:22Listen, Minister
05:24I don't want to go into details
05:26I want elephants in my palace garden.
05:29As soon as possible
05:30Your command, my master
05:44Sir, Commander of the Elephants
05:46Can we talk to you for a bit?
05:49Absolutely, Jabal
05:50You and Potato are best friends
05:53Therefore, we do not like your constant sitting.
05:58At the elephant graveyard
05:59And your constant sorrow for your father
06:02My sorrows are as heavy as my weight.
06:05This is noble sorrow
06:07But things do happen in the forest
06:09You should know it and explain it to us.
06:13What's going on?
06:14thin sleeper
06:16The so-called human
06:18He started coming to our forest in large numbers
06:23Why is that important?
06:24I don't know
06:25But they do amazing things
06:29They dig the earth
06:31Then they return to cover what they dug.
06:34With leaves
06:36Do you understand anything about what they are doing?
06:39no
06:39But if they think of stealing what remains of my ancestors' graves
06:43They will know the extent of my anger
07:04You cowards
07:06Where was that network?
07:11It doesn't tear no matter how much you hit it.
07:15majestic
07:17Stay away
07:19Get away, you majestic one!
07:20They will hunt you down too.
07:23I must save my friend
07:26No use
07:28I run away
07:28Run away quickly
07:30faster
07:32Hurry, O Mighty One
07:34faster
07:35They are throwing spears in this direction.
07:39Let's move to the other side
07:41My feet believe
07:50My head is spinning with these waves
07:57majestic
07:58Do
08:00Will they kill us?
08:02If they wanted to kill us, they would have done it in the thickets of the forest.
08:08We are their prisoners
08:10And what will they do to us?
08:13I don't know, O mountain
08:19What do you see, elephant leader?
08:22I am no longer a leader of anyone
08:23I failed to protect him
08:46Here are the elephants, my lord.
08:54What are you doing?
08:57that it
08:58She is giving a military salute to Commander Abraha.
09:01But in her own way
09:03I like this
09:05Why doesn't this elephant return the greeting?
09:10I don't know
09:12But he does not respond to orders, my lord.
09:15How can a soldier not respond to his commander?
09:19We tried to discipline him and whip him.
09:22But he is extremely stubborn.
09:25Food, Minister
09:27Withhold food from him
09:29When hunger gnaws at him
09:31He will respond to the commands
09:33Your wish is my command, sir.
09:36The food is delicious
09:39All in silence
09:41Excuse me, O majestic one
09:43Our religion
09:44We could have fed you with us
09:47It's easy
09:48Why don't you respond like we do?
09:50And you offer greetings to Commander Abraha?
09:54us
09:55The matter is simple
09:57All you have to do
09:59Lower your head slightly
10:01And raise your hose upwards
10:04I am starving
10:06The smell of the food is irresistible
10:14Look, my lord
10:15The big elephant began to respond
10:22Good
10:23I thought you would be happy, my lord
10:26There are things more important than elephants that occupy my mind.
10:29I want to meet the chief engineer now at my palace.
10:33Omar Moulay
10:34To my supporters in the army
10:37Bahid
10:38You were amazing
10:39They will give us lots of food
10:42Lots of food
10:44Just to raise Khartoum in greeting
10:46How foolish of them!
10:50Why do Arabs make pilgrimages to the Kaaba?
10:53It is the first house built to worship God alone on Earth.
10:57It is located in Mecca
10:59I'm not asking about her location
11:02I am simply asking about the secret of her place in the hearts of Arabs
11:05O my Lord, the Kaaba
11:08The simplest architectural monument in the world
11:11It's just a cube of stone
11:14But its value lies in the fact that it symbolizes the Sacred House of God (the Kaaba).
11:20I want to build a temple better than the Kaaba.
11:23Or do you believe what the Arabs say?
11:27My work is in engineering and construction, sir.
11:30It makes me believe that the universe has one Creator.
11:35He made it with such amazing skill
11:38Without anything being disrupted in it
11:41Betrayal in the palace
11:43This statement is treasonous.
11:45Arrest the chief engineer
11:47And give power to the faction to destroy it
11:56I
11:57I understand nothing
12:00Why are they starving you?
12:02I saluted their leader as they requested.
12:06I deserve punishment because I humiliated myself.
12:09And I accepted to bow before his insignificant ruler
12:13The guards are coming
12:22Unchain him and put him in the cage of the hungry elephant.
12:26You have one last chance to apologize to your master through this
12:30We will say that you were sick and delirious with fever.
12:35I will not lie for any creature
12:38Let God do as He wills.
12:41Now you will see how this hungry elephant will devour you.
12:48What is this?
12:51Is there another prisoner being tortured like me?
12:54In the name of God, the Creator of animals and beasts
12:58Don't be afraid, I won't drive you crazy. You're the first creature I've ever allowed to sit on my back.
13:09Kill the traitorous chief engineer, and as for the elephant, discipline him until he comes to his senses.
13:16Your wish is my command, sir.
13:20Who are you, man?
13:23I am the assistant to the chief engineer, sir.
13:27Did you come to defend him?
13:30No, sir, no
13:32How can I defend someone who is ungrateful for the blessings of my Lord?
13:37I came to offer my services
13:41This is a drawing of the temple that my master Abraha requested people make pilgrimage to instead of the Kaaba.
13:51Beautiful
13:52Great building
13:56Your servant, my lord, at your command
14:01You improve your speech
14:03Start implementing immediately
14:16A magnificent temple
14:19Well done, engineer!
14:21It is your wise guidance, my master.
14:25How many visitors came to the temple?
14:27One Arab visitor was traveling across the desert
14:32How is this?
14:33I built the temple on the route of the Arab caravans
14:37And it included all means of comfort
14:40The number of temple visitors will increase over time, my lord.
14:44And what did this Arab say to you?
14:47He rushed into the temple and said nothing.
14:51What is this foul smell?
14:54My lord, it seems the Bedouin relieved himself in your venerable temple, my lord.
15:01This is an insult, how can I pay for it?
15:04Perhaps he didn't mean it, my lord, for he is a stranger to the place and thought it was a toilet.
15:11This is the greatest insult; the Arabs are mocking me.
15:16But what can I do about them?
15:24Abrat reassured his army
15:27Which at that time had the strongest armies on earth
15:31He slept soundly, confident that he would force people to make pilgrimages to his alleged temple.
15:40After he destroys the Holy Kaaba and humiliates the people of Mecca and those around it
15:53Yes, also our little guest
15:56Don't make a noise that might disturb him.
15:59Tomorrow I will tell you what happened with the elephant and the people of the elephant.
