am an Iraqi citizen. I tell you that there are wonders and wonders in Iraq. In Iraq, there are in every civilization ax and traces of the Sumerians and Babylonians. Talking about Iraq does not end because it is the origin of humanity. Faithful revealed the prophets and messengers. And you, as a European citizen, thank you for this work and spreading the history of Iraq, and that it is not only the history of Iraq, but the history of mankind. thank you brother. I am from the city of Nasiriyah (the city of Ur).

The thought of Xenophon, a man so ancient to me, standing and staring in awe and wonder at an ancient ruin… it just gives me chills

I really love how each episode starts off with a real life account of someone stumbling across some magnificent ruins and being left in awe of them. Really captures the mystery behind the collapse of civilizations.

How is this called a "podcast"? This is top-tier TV, almost movie quality. 10 minutes in and discovered its a series, so Im subbing and going back to episode 1.

3 hour documentary which is higher quality than most commercial documentaries. What a legend.

I like the way you have the music at a low volume. It adds to my enjoyment of the series. It sets the tone without covering the sound of your voice. I say this about the 12 I have already watched as well. Thank you.

Wow, this is amazing! I am Assyrian and was born in iraq and my parents tell us these stories all the time when we were kids. It was so beautiful to watch!

I am from Nineveh, specifically from Mosul. I lived my childhood among these monuments, walls and archaeological hills, and I remember how I used to pass every day in front of it. I was very impressed by it, and I wished to be an archaeologist who would take care of the antiquities of his city, but I ended up as a refugee in Turkey looking for his future, I wonder if Ashurbanipal would return to see his sons and his city like this, what would he have said?
Thank you for showing our history to the world

I am from Iraq. One of my teachers at year 7 school, Master Zuhair; may he rest in peace, taught us history and he has covered all this document and more about the Assyrians, and I thought no one would come close to him, you did Dr Cooper. Master Zuhair used to know the Akadian language too.
Knowing Iraq history, I find it amazing how history repeats itself. The story of Assyria and its geo relationships has manifested repeatedly for the last 3000 years.
Your documentary has taken me in an emotional journey across many levels and boosted my realization of why we need to study history!
I am sure, with whatever subjectivity, objectivity, and projection this document is consumed under, it is so enriching to one sense of existence.
Thank you so much.

Not only do you have incredible voice actors, you clearly put a lot of thought and care into matching the voices to the words. It's like each of them, for just a few lines, has committed their entire self to the person behind the words. You all bring it every time and it really, really shows.

Paul Cooper, the grand master of narrative work, meticulous research and just superb storytelling.

Couldn't click fast enough. The prime example of historical documentary on YouTube.✌️
History Time, Kings and general's are excellent too.

I have watched all of your youtube videos several times over. I should also note that your tone is very relaxing and peaceful, and have often used the audio as a tool to help me fall asleep. Thank you very much for the incredible work that you put into these.

These documentaries transport me back in time; they are enthralling masterpieces. And I am infinitely grateful that I have unlimited access to them FOR FREE. Your work is brilliant and you deserve all the success that has come and will continue to come your way.

I'm Assyrian and speak the language fluently. Thank you for the great job on my people's history.

What a wonderful narration of History seldom found elsewhere with such poetry and meticulousness.

I've watched this particular documentary 5 times from beginning to end. I think I'm obsessed, but it's the best kind of obsession: even though I'm a Greek, from a completely different culture, through this video alone I have been acquainted with Assyrian history so much, to the point of being passionate about it.
I truly hope that any coverage of ancient Greece, be it the Minoans, the Mycenaeans, the classical age or the Hellenistic period, receive such lengthy, meticulous and immaculate coverage. Because anyone just immerses himself into this.
Thank you, Mr Cooper, from your contribution and giving these precious bits of knowledge for free
Edit: Mr Cooper, you have covered the Byzantine age of Greece, remarkably as well.
