In this episode, we look at one of history’s most incredible stories of survival - the thousand-year epic of the Byzantine Empire. Find out how this civilization suffered the loss of its Western half, and continued the unbroken legacy of Rome right through the middle ages. Hear about how it formed a bridge between two continents, and two ages, and learn how the impregnable walls of Constantinople were finally brought crashing to the ground.
This episode we're joined by members of the St Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral Choir in London, and a number of musicians playing traditional Byzantine instruments.

This channel is actually the most wonderful thing I have ever found on youtube. I am not a wealthy person; all I have to offer is my sincere thanks for this wonderful and heartbreakingly melancholy series. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the hundred billion screaming ghosts trying to tell the present their story.

There’s something so hilariously human about a city being saved from disaster not by the fear of disaster, but teams of sports fans wanting to one up each other.
Genuinely touching to see that sports fans almost a thousand and a half years ago were just as insane as they are today.

Descended from ye imperial lyne
Of ye last Christian
Emperors of Greece
Churchwarden of this Parish

A direct descendant of the last Imperial family found his way to the new world,I was amazed.

If you do not have at least a small understanding of the ancient world, the fall of Rome, and the Byzantine empire, you have little chance of making sense of the modern geo political world...this is riveting, incredibly well done, and should be in middle and high schools everywhere! Absolutely amazing.

This is some of the best history content on Youtube, probably even the internet.

The byzantine music used in the beginning, although indeed byzantine music, is actually written by Saint Nectarius of Aegina (1846-1920). As a famous traditional song says. H Ρωμανία κι αν πέρασεν, ανθεί και φέρει κι άλλο. The Roman Kingdom, even if in the past, flourishes and brings more. Even though now long gone, its legacy will last forever. Excellent documentary.

One can`t help, but to be overwhelmed with sadness for the tragic demise of Eastern Roman Empire and the fall of once great Christian Orthodox city of Constantinople

Mr Cooper, in advance of my comment, I'd like to give you my thanks for making this 2 part series. As a Greek, I deeply appreciate it. Came late to the documentary, but in case anyone wonders why Greeks claim the Byzantine Empire:
It's because we indeed made it. The Byzantine Empire was Roman only in name. The administration and law were Roman. And based on that, we identified ourselves as "Romans" (Ρωμαίοι). But it was a political, not an ethnic identity.
Because the inhabitants of the Empire were anything but Roman. They spoke Greek in their entirety, in everyday life, and was thr official language. They developed a different dogma of Christianity than Western Rome did, if we are to say that Western Rome did stop being pagan. The Byzantine Greeks developed an entirely different architecture. A completely different culture. They preserved mostly ancient Greek literature, making sense as the East was always Hellenic-dominated.
The Byzantine Empire however was both Greek and Roman. Roman because it retained the name, the political entity. But it was also Greek because it retained Hellenic culture, and was made up by the Greeks in essentia.
Plus: on a funny note, the choice of Byzantium, a Greek city founded in 660 BC, as the new capital, is also the embodiment of Horace's quote: "Captive Greece captured its rude conqueror".
