In this episode, we look at the Vijayanagara Empire of Southern India, a civilization that has all but faded from memory in many parts of the world.
Find out how this remarkable society rose up out of an age of conflict and fragmentation, how it built one of the largest and most impressive medieval cities in the world, and developed an identity that was both South Indian in nature, and global in its outlook. With readings in Sanskrit, and the sounds of traditional Carnatic music, find out what happened to bring the great stone temples of Vijayanagara crashing down in fire and flame.

My father was a history teacher but sadly passed away about 10 years ago. Wish I could have showed him this channel. Best presentation on ancient history I have ever seen. Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻

I visited this Kingdom as part of our High school tour . City of ruins overwhelmed me .Reflecting on it after 20 years ..Every WORD in this video is a fitting tribute to VIJAYANAGARA Kingdom .. In today's narrative war, your unbiased and well researched content stands testament to your commitment to truth.. Amazing storytellers ..

I have visited Hampi (ruins of Vijayanagara empire) and it is such a beautiful place! It looks like a different planet because of the strange rock formations and boulder landscape surrounding the ruins.

This was honestly incredible. As an Indian and living in Karnataka, I’m surprised that I didn’t get learn the grand history of Vijayanagara even in school history classes. I remember learning about Mughal empire and British empire in India for years together but perhaps only a fleeting paragraph on Vijayanagara empire.
I cannot thank you enough for making such an elaborate and detailed accounting of Vijayanagara empire. I feel like I have gained a lifetime’s knowledge in these 3 hours. I am even inspired to travel to Hampi and see these runs in real.
Thank you!

Thanks a lot for making a video on my culture. Nowhere in our goddamn school curriculum were we able to learn anything even close to this detail and emotional closeness. Thank you so much if I may, from all the Telugu speaking diaspora.

Thank you for making this episode. My mother tongue is Telugu, and I was only briefly aware of the great VijayaNagara empire. Compelling storytelling! Kudos.

As as Indian, this documentary makes me proud of the rich heritage we have inherited but also sad about countless other countrymen who are unaware and are not able to appreciate this age of Indian history. Thank you Paul for all the hardwork you put into these videos. You should keep in mind that so many out there are always waiting for another one of your podcasts to be released.

These episodes are always quietly chilling, for all the empires of old that thought themselves Invincible, but are now almost forgotten no matter how powerful and impressive they were in their time.

This was so beautiful! Thank you so much for making this feature film length documentary about not just a lost Indian empire, but describing Indian culture at large!

Easily one of the best podcasts available. Paul Cooper and his team do an absolutely brilliant job. Gratitude from the US o/

So happy for this film! I went to Hampi in 1996 as a photographer, shot film after film after film. Sadly, they were later all ruined by a photo lab in Dehli. I’ve been to many places but nothing compares to this. I rented a bike and got around quite a bit. In the warm, lazy afternoons I often went to a small cafe a kilometer upstreams from the village, had a tea and a refreshing bath in the river. Oh glorious memories. Thanks for telling the story of this part of India and letting me see Hampi again.

That last bit starting 3:07:01 had me crying by the end. It reminded me so much of that lovely Chinese poem that detailed the destruction and collapse of the ancient Chinese capital of Luoyang in the late 200s AD that you profiled in an earlier video. The reality of life is so inescapable--its transcendence, its beauty, its utter impermanence and fragility. Thank you, again, for ending on the universal truths that define the cycles of life and death. We will never escape them as long as we're humans on this Earth.

The fact that they discussed the geology and geography of southern India to put context to human history is just perfection.

I read the upanishad 10 years ago. There really is no other ancient document more beautiful, and more pure of spirit.

Thanks, as an American witt guy, I am fascinated by the history of India. Like most other places, what a beautiful place. I'll never go there but I love you India 🇮🇳.

I am really enjoying the Fall of Civilizations podcast! I watch a lot of videos about history, and this series is the most comprehensive and enjoyable one I've come across. Thank you very much for your dedication to writing and editing each episode is such a spectacular manner.

The Vijayanagara empire is epitome of musical and literary prowess with Karnatic music and Kannada literature. And the architectural feats achieved are unfathomable to even todays visitors.

Seriously, the fact that you put out such lengthy, well produced, and well researched documentaries can't be overlooked. This channel is better than the History Channel. EDIT: People, stop dissing the History Channel in the comments. I'm giving this channel credit for outdoing a TV channel that has much greater resources, and the constant bashing of another channel isn't uplifting to anyone.
