The way you spent 16 min going from dinosaurs to horses and their extinction, just so you could point out the irony that the Aztecs would meet their downfall by Europeans coming over on horses was BRILLIANT.

I tried watching History and Discovery Channel documentaries about the Aztecs, but they were literally unwatchable with the overly dramatic music and jump cuts like it was a bad action movie with very little substance. Thank you for respecting your audience enough let the history speak for itself! What a fascinating story you tell here.

Other Historians: to tell this story properly we go back a little and start from the beginning. Paul Cooper: D I N O S A U R S

Paul and team - Thank you again for another masterful content. I’m going through your videos rather slowly and in random order, but every video elevates my senses and transports me to these amazing ancient & medieval lands / cultures. This is my second gift to your channel because I feel this incomparable depiction of world history needs continuous encouragement of all kinds. Thank you again - I never thought that an Aztec story could be so captivating. Brilliant 👏🏼

Damn brother that bit with the dinosaurs. Things like that set you apart.

As a Mexican- American historian, the end of this documentary-and the way you described the Ameridan people as ignorant to the approaching treat of European invasion, just as the dinosaurs were of the asteroid that destroyed their way of life, really hit me hard. Thank you for your creativity, Paul!

I really appreciate how this documentary ACTUALLY spends time retracing the history of the Aztecs and doesn’t just skim through it and go directly to the arrival of the Spanish like every other one does, even though this a series about the fall of empires! Your work is very impressive! I really enjoyed it!

You produce some of the best history media content, not only on YouTube, but anywhere at all. The attention to facts, the writing and narration, the production quality are all magnificent. We're very fortunate to be able to be watch this, and even for free

I've literally listened to this episode at least 10 times while sleeping, and the imagery so far (I'm 20 minutes in), is answering so many questions. What a brilliant production.

This is has got to be the best documentary on the Aztecs that I've ever heard. I love your documentaries but this one has given me a whole new level of respect for them. Bravo.

When you brought back the quetzalcoatlus at the end to tie in not only the dinosaurs, but the Aztec language, I was absolutely floored. Great content
