In this episode, we tell one of the most colourful stories of civilizational survival: the story of the Bagan Empire of Myanmar. Find out how this kingdom rose up in the Irrawaddy river valley of central Myanmar, and built one of the most remarkable series of monuments to have survived from the medieval world. Discover what life was like for the people who lived there, and find out what happened to cause its sudden and complete collapse.

Top Comments of this video!! :3
It's not often I burst into laughter while watching these masterpieces but I loved both the 18 million soldiers and Paul Cooper's deadpan response of "seeing as this would be a quarter of the world's total population, we can assume this is an exaggeration."

Every time an episode starts wrapping up I brace myself for the insanely poignant passage of ancient poetry that will rock me to my emotional core

As a Burmese studying abroad, your documentary significantly helps with my homesickness. Really appreciate for your great effort in going far beyond the other historians to create this documentary 👍😊☺️

It isn't an exaggeration to say this is by far the Highest quality of historical documentary that YouTube has to offer. Dare I say, that modern media has to offer. This is simply amazing work. As others in this comment section have expressed I too was limited in my awareness of "important civilizations." I was totally unaware of the depth and complexity these societies possessed. Thank you for presenting this information in a way that is both soothing and informative, not distracted or muddled down with unnecessary humor. You're doing a great service to all of humanity with these videos. Thank you

You don't know how excited this notification just made me!!!

Just finished watchnig episodes 1 through 16. Phenomenal work through and through. I can't say how many times Ozymandias popped into my head while watching these. I think the thing that struck me most—besides existential dread—was how broad civilization is, both in terms of age and distribution. I used to believe that as "important civilizations" went, it was limited only to the last 2000 years and even then, only to the Mediterranean and China. Thank you for expanding my horizons in such a detailed and engaging way! I'm eagerly looking forward to the next episode.

Visited Bagan years ago at the tail end of the tourist season. It was basically empty and since the rains had started to come in, everything was green and misty. It made an already magical place even more amazing.

I'm from Myanmar and really appreciate to your effort on this video and that was an amazing document and i love it so much

I don’t understand how this series is possible. Given the quality of the video, audio, editing, narration, and research each episode should cost a fortune. This is amazing.

These never fail to bring me joy. I get to learn a lot more about civilizations I've always been curious about yet often have no time to collect knowledge of on my own. Paul's team always launches me into the vivid world of different cultures and their histories. I am sincerely grateful. Surely, one day, all I've learned and continue to learn from your podcast will help any creative endeavors I may have.

I used to be bored by history as an academic subject, but this podcast has changed this for my wife and me. Fall of Civ's is amazing! ...it teaches history, culture, geography, geology, and makes an ancient civilization so interesting that I want to travel to all these places. Thank you!

Probably one of the best, if not the best, choreographed and narrated history channel, and series on YouTube and probably elsewhere. Full of knowledge, coherent thought, and inspiring cinematography. Thank you so much.

I visited Myanmar and Bagan in 2017 - did the hot air balloon which was great, but the best part was hiring an e-motorbike and exploring the many temples, seeing the most stunning sunset on the river, enjoying the delicious food and hanging out with friendly locals. One of my most favorite countries and city to visit in SE Asia.

Netflix would be lucky to have you direct & produce historical documentaries for them.

Hats off to you! As a citizen of Myanmar, it gives me chills.

Every single one of these documentaries is a work of art. Worthy of network syndication. Which ever channel picks these up will see a huge leap in audience figures. Imagine the quality of work Paul could produce with a real budget from a TV Station. Again thank you Paul, watched every single doc several times. Love your story telling, the respect you give of these civilisations, their language their culture. Love the voice overs given to actors. Love the way you place each in some kind of historical context. Truly outstanding work.

what a champion. he learns about the subtle differences between the formal and informal diction of a country's language, just so he can use the proper name of the country in the correct context. an absolute champion of historical documentaries 🏆 😎👍
