Far in the distance, three colossal shapes tower over the desert horizonā¦
In this episode, we travel to the Nile Valley, and tell the story of one of the most iconic cultures ever produced by humankind ā the civilizations of ancient Egypt. I want to show how this series of related cultures grew up in the floodplains of their great river, and built some of the most enduring and recognizable structures in the world. And I want to tell the story of what happened to bring the age of the Pharaohs finally and cataclysmically to an end.

The piano introās haunting melancholy is perfect. It sounds like a fallen civilization saying āremember usā.

I'm a Historian myself and I absolutely love this channel. As a blind person, I particularly enjoy the little sound effects here and there, thunderstorms, waterfalls, people marching through the desert... it really transports me through time into that world. There's another history-related channel I really enjoy called Geschichtsfenster. That guy focuses on the European Middle Ages, especially the HRE. His episodes are always very specific and go into great detail. For example he can easily spend 2 hours talking about the diet of peasants or women's fashion in late medieval Germany. By contrast, Paul takes the bird's eye approach, covering millennia and thousands of square kilometers in a single episode. Paul's videos are also very refined, using professional voice actors etc., while Andrej from Geschichtsfenster basically just presents sources and lectures without much editing, so it feels like sitting in an university seminar. Both styles have their charme in my opinion and I like to switch back and forth between them because they complement each other so well.

Hands down the best channel to exist on YouTube. It's not just a barrage of information, it's an immersive journey through time and landscape. Thank you so much Paul, amazing work, wishing you all the success with the new book!

This is the only channel on YouTube who's viewers have waited centuries for the stories and history to be told. Ironic that a channel about ancient history never gets old. Well done. Cheers from the States!

These episodes always leave a lasting thought in me. The Sumerian episode still pops into my mind every now and then.

Dude, this is a master work. Incredible. Egypt is a romantic topic and I knew you would need to basically cover all the mini-apocalypses those civilizations experienced. It would not be enough to simply cover the very end. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this, not just the script, but the little touches in the sounds and mastering it properly so I wasn't struggling to hear you. CivFall-senpai, we are not worthy!

As many have said before, this is the greatest series of history presentations ever produced. I recommend it to everyone i know that is remotely interested in history. Thank you for your work and please never stop making these.

Dr. Cooper, as a passionate former student of the Classics, your documentaries are truly singular among a sea of lower-quality "content." Thank you for the work required to bring this information to life.

Goosebumps, all over, the poetic parallels in the end at 3:50:00 crossing eons of time.
Words forgotten, but the human connection remain. I always love this channel for the way you weaved history into a relatable narrative. It really helps drive home that these aren't just names and dates in a book, but people who once lived.

I always seem to be brought to the verge of tears by the end of these episodes. Please, never stop what you're doing.

This channel produces the finest historical content on any medium available today. I have not found any programming more compelling, interesting, informative and entertaining anywhere ever.
