    Far in the distance, three colossal shapes tower over the desert horizon…
    In this episode, we travel to the Nile Valley, and tell the story of one of the most iconic cultures ever produced by humankind - 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.

    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.

      I completely agree with this OP. The podcasts and videos of Fall Of Civilizations are without a doubt the highest quality of all that exist. I'm proud that I was 1 of the first to say this, and I'm very glad so many others have joined me. It would grieve me greatly if Paul wasn't getting the credit he is due, so I'm SO very glad that he is being credited as the Master that he is!
      I can't wait for him to finish the video of this one, but that will take a LOT of time. That's ok though, because it takes time to create the masterpeices that are Paul's hallmark. I'll be so excited to see it, when it comes, so the waiting will be hard, but it will be so worth it!
      Thank you so much Paul, for the wonderful work that you do! I know that it's painstaking, but your fans love you for it! I hope you get joy from knowing how much joy you give us! ❤❤❤

That meticulous research went into making this presentation is obvious. Ancient hieroglyphics are given new life through dramatic readings, while the narrator provides a concise and interesting discourse on this fascinating period in human history.
    I have listened to and enjoyed several other "Fall of Civilization" podcasts and they are all wonderful. But there is something special about this one... perhaps it is the glamour of ancient Egypt and its bygone pharaohs. I just know it is an excellent production and source of information.

I have a busy schedule and these videos allow me to learn about my favorite subject on the go for free. I don't have to buy books or dedicate days to reading through one. Also, they break the information down so it is easy to visualize and understand. Thank you so much for your hard work.

    The timelines of Ancient Egypt blow my mind. It was ancient by the time the Greeks and Romans came around. Cleopatra is closer to us in time than the Great Pyramids were to her.

    YES! I literally said out loud, not 30 minutes ago, “I wonder if we’ll ever get another Fall of Civ episode?” And, here we are, sipping tea, and staring blissfully at the screen and feeling like this was exactly what I needed (over 2-3 sessions, most likely).

    Listening to Spotify today at work, and a fall of civilizations episode starts playing… I think wth, Spotify doesn’t replay old episodes that have already been played. Then I looked at it and said… “18? There’s no way that’s new” and I am visibly shocked that this dropped today. Hopefully it won’t be years to listen to another of these masterpieces. I am lucky that I found these when there was already 17 in the catalog available to binge. Thanks Paul cooper for one of my most cherished podcasts that gets me through a tough work day out in the world.

    It's one thing to tell a story and another to reach your imagination.
    Really well done with great attention to detail.
    Just as well as another impressive reminder on how even the biggest empires can fall, just in those very days.
    Well done Paul, keep the flame alight!

    I check your channel regularly for new uploads and to think the day after my vacation a new one arrives. I'll have to make time in the next week to sit and listen to this with no interruptions. Something about these videos require time alone to think and reflect on the epic stories you tell. Nothing on UA-cam or any other media has even come close to making me feel the way your content does. A perfect mix of human emotion and historical knowledge allowing me to transport my mind back in time to these places of wonder and rich history. Thank you for all you do and thank you for allowing me to peer through this window you create, right into the heart of our shared human past. So excited for the journey this time to Egypt. One I have been waiting for the most. And will be looking forward to whatever else you create in the future. I am poor so cannot financially support right now but I can always give a view and a like to such an amazing channel and wish you nothing but success!!!!!
