The only reason I pay for YT premium, so I can fall asleep to these phenomemal videos without being interupted. Don't worry, I alreqsy watched it while awake, they are just so comforting to fall asleep to..
What we did to deserve this kind of quality content for free, I'll never know. But I'll always be grateful! Thank you for your dedication to this craft.
It is not. Machupicchu was NOT completely abandoned for centuries. It was well known, even appeared in 20th century maps already, and the terraces were used for crops from the folk in the valley.
Your documentaries are absolutely stunning, no sensationalism, no biases, no screaming ads, no narration like an American action film, no flashing crazy images, thank goodness for you, thank you!
I just learned in 90 minutes more than every day of high school history could ever have helped me wrap my mind around. Thank you for this unimaginable undertaking and uploading at this very crucial moment in this world
You are confusing 'then' with 'than'. I think it's caused by how society tends to listen and watch videos rather than read books, that is the cause of the problem, it's a worldwide phenomena. Plus, the American accent doesn't help either, when pronouncing the word 'than', which does sound like 'then'. This should help you get it right: 'Then', used to explain something happening next: 'He then went to the market'. 'I get home, then I put the kettle on'. 'Than', (in your case), used when making a comparison: 'It cost more than I could afford'.. The comparison is 'this is more than that'... All the best in future.
You are confusing 'phenomena' with 'phenomenon'. I think it's caused by how society tends to listen and watch videos rather than read books; it's a worldwide phenomenon. This should help you get it right: 'Phenomenon' is singular 'Phenomena' (in your case) is plural (more than one) All the best to you in the future, genius.
You're confusing helpfulness with passive aggressiveness. Phenomena and phenomenon isn't a common misconception on the internet. Whereas then and than, is. This should help you get it right: If you spot a mistake, remember to keep it polite and not sarcastic, because then you aren't actually being helpful, you're just deliberately attempting to cause offence. All the best. @@australl
Having read 1491 & 1493 not too long ago, I appreciate how you connect the Inca to their landscape and emphasize how they built on the success of previous societies and connected disparate environments together to form a remarkable empire. Appreciate all the work that goes into these!
You must ask how desert happen and by what kind weapond 😅😅😅😅 .. pyramid is not build for human 😊😊😊😊 i hv seen it all but must remain quiet as reward😢😢😢😢
The Inca say that the structures were already built before they got there. The Inca did not have the skills or knowledge to build the megalithic structures. There are often three different styles of stonework with the higher quality was on the bottom, a lesser quality in the middle and the Incan on the top is of very poor quality compared to the other two.
what I really love about this series is how respectful it is of these old world civilizations, it always finds something to praise them for instead of calling them primitive or simple. like commenting on how pretty the thatch roofs must have looked. To us they might not have looked very special but to the people living at that time it must have been. really pulls you into what it might have been like living at this age, awesome stuff.
Oh I agree alot of these civilizations were the cutting edge of thier day and we wouldn't have made it as far as we did without building on top of them we sit on the shoulders of the giants who came before.
The buildings themselves even more impressive. There is no cement. Just stone. And those stones were carved without iron tools, so...stone on stone. And in an area that sees minor earthquakes often, it's amazing that they're still standing. If you look into the corners of some bldgs at Machu Picchu, it's even more marvelous, when you see how closely they fit together
@@in.der.welt.sein. I don't think the Ottomans taught the Incas anything. You have to go back to school and learn History... For instance, one of the things you need to learn is that the Romans were known for their baths. Hey, maybe *they* taught the Ottomans! :) EDIT - Some English classes wouldn't hurt, either.
Very true. Anyone I introduce this channel two immediately falls in love with this channel. The Sumerian episode might be the best piece of media content I've ever consumed.
I'm a historian by education not trade, and I've been saying for years that these videos are better than an undergraduate course and this is my favorite (well, counting the second Inca video). I never had any interest in south American civilizations at all before, and the original podcast led me into several years of research, this work is absolutely the best I've ever run into. The most fascinating civilization and economic system I've ever heard of.
Because of your comment I’m going to spend 1hr+ watching this. So, there you go. You don’t know me, nor I you, and yet here we are. I find this whole global connectivity quite interesting. Your input is causative to me watching… hmmm. cool. 🙃
This is perhaps the finest history series I have ever seen. Detailed, nuanced, and carefully researched, the series has as its goal an in-depth understanding of history. The author does not approach it with a pet theory or preconceived notion that he wishes to prove, but rather from a true and clear eyed spirit of inquiry.
The Maya, The Aztecs, and now the Inca. You have provided the same level of incredible detail and story telling that I have come to greatly enjoy. As a student of history I find your videos refreshing. I look forward to discovering who you will investigate in the future.
The Inca are a breath of fresh air from the Aztecs, imo. I could see the Inca civilization thriving in modern times. They were very inclusive and respected life big and small.
I have been admiring this fellow and his presentations for some time. I do believe he is the best at any documentary. I would like him to try his hand at other subjects.
as a Peruvian i am very happy to see you making this content... also very cool of you to make mention, or at least show Caral even if only for a moment...
Even as a little girl Peru has always been my first choice of places to go. I have yet to go anywhere outside of the US except for a trip to Jamaica… I will go there one day
@@mandeyoung3495 I have been blessed enough to have travelled many places. Peru was my favorite place of all. Dont want too, plan it. Majestic beauty, nice people, people still living native America ways, the food is fabulous, ruins everywhere and prices are right. Everything but machu picchu was pretty cheap. I got rooms and day tours for under $30. $80 dollars a day for a single traveler doing lots of stuff and stuffing my face..lol Hint..flights are cheap and fast in Peru. Buses are super nice but unless your going up or down the coastal highway, they are slow in the mountains. Huscarean park and Trujillo in the north are not as popular as places in The South but should be. The one is a mountain park. The other is a city with a very nice square and many ruins from 2 cultures right outside town. Loved spain, Austria, Turkey and believe it or not southern Mexico. Maya mexico was super safe, lots of ruins, jungle and cloud forests, native Americans which were nice just not down by cancun. Merida, Palenque, San cristabol de la casas was a trip back in time.
I just came across this episode. I can’t wait to sit and watch this one properly. I adore Peru and have been 3 times. The history of the Inca is amazing and fascinating. I can’t wait to go back.
I love Peru is probably the country in South America that attracts the most attention, in my trip through South America, I was captivated by its history, the enormous archaeological sites, the wonderful food! I would return to the country without hesitation. Love Peru from Portugal.
I absolutely love your docs. I have learned so much. I have seen your Assyrian and Mexica docs so far and they were incredible. Please continue doing this! You are the best! I will donate more when I can.
I have been plugging your channel so much my friends have a "here we go again" meme about it. Love your work! thanks for the video. Been excited for this one.

This is absolutely incredible ! I’ve always wanted to learn about The Inca, and its hard for a layman (like me) to find anything of any great detail anywhere - so i really appreciate that you put this together for us!.

Same. It gives me something else for my brain to focus on. It's sort of embarrassing how many times I have to replay parts of the episodes in order to hear the entire thing, but it's a massive complement that I actually do replay these as many times as it takes to get through them. I haven't given up on one yet. I love them.
I love Peru! It has the most fascinating history of the Americas! since I was a child I dreamed of knowing that beautiful country, I visited it in 2018 and I loved it more, its diverse landscapes, its people, its food, its incredible ancient ruins, it has so much history and wonders!!! for me it is the most beautiful country. Peru love from the USA one day I will return.
lol....i have here stone graves from 40.000 years ago, in my district! not so far away they found wooden spears from 250.000 years ago.... my ancestors fought the Romans and WW2! and i have traveled Peru, too!
So nice to hear your wonderful voice and watch your amazing work. In this messed up world you are bringing some much needed relief. Be blessed. Gratitude snd love from South Africa. ❤️
Machu Picchu is amazing. I travel around the globe n this site is by far the most awesome, better than Rome 😂. Breathtaking perfection. Complete harmony. Peaceful. Serene. Love it. It’s not high altitude, actually lower than Cusco. Coca leaves also help w altitude sickness.
Peru is one place I would love to go back. I spent 6 weeks there. It is beautiful. So many places in the country to see . I even spent a week in the Amazon jungle. Get up to Cusco. Walk the city. I also took a bus to Lake Titicaca
True intelligence has, at its heart, a welcoming presence that brings a light of knowledge onto the populace. Rare is the gift of oratory that transfixes an audience to fully injest mounds of information, only to want more. Mr. Copper, your talents are immeasurable at bringing dusted history to living life with the best historical documentaries I have ever seen! I am a huge history buff, having watched every serious television historical documentary series made over the past four decades and your work is unequalled. You elicit an incredible range of emotions from your audience with your poetic and lyrical approach to the all-too-often tragic ends of past world cultures. Let the lesson ring out every time that we see one of your newest episodes.....every cultural operational system that helps a civilization exist is far more fragile than we can ever think.
Always worth the wait!! As a native Hawaiian, hearing about the incredible feat of these terraces in the Andes gets me excited to hear what you would have to say about Hawaii's fishponds, Heiau's, and taro patches. If the rise and fall of Old Hawai'i ever became an interest to you. -K
If only my university lecturers had managed to retain my rapt attention in the way you do with your content I might have come out with several first class honours rather than the 2:1 and 2:2 that i ended up with. Thank you for the huge amount of work you put into this content. @Fall of Civilizations
I used to live in Bolivia and Peru 10 years between La Paz, El Alto, Sica Sica, Puno, Sucre, and Arequipa. Thank you for making this one. I've been waiting for it! Cheers!

Wow the visuals in the beginning are breathtaking! You’re content is top notch & I loveeeee getting a notification that you uploaded bc I know I’m in for a fascinating trip through history lol. It’s a gloomy Sunday morning & The fact that I can make my coffee & lay in bed to watch this makes me happy haha. Thank you!
Im a Peruvian and i own a large farm in the valley of pisco and Ive found a small pyramid . Peru is weird you se endless desert and suddenly a green valley with large pyramids
Hello from North America! How common is English in your area? How far is the pyramid you found from the main archaeological sites that most of us foreigners would know about?
You must ask how desert happen and by what kind weapond 😅😅😅😅 .. pyramid is not build for human 😊😊😊😊 i hv seen it all but must remain quiet as reward😢😢😢😢
During my brief visit to Machu Picchu, the guide informed us it was built as a type of University, a place for the young to be trained in the priestly, noble study of the stars. I cannot speak to the veracity of this, but found the idea very intriguing.
The very best documentaries that I have ever seen in my life, the amount of quality and detail is astounding and I always love the epic background music.
Heading to Peru for our honeymoon from Liverpool England in 7 days. Can’t wait to see some of these sites in person. This podcast will be playing in my head whilst adventuring. What a podcast!
As a lover of history, I can say wholeheartedly that I have learned so much about these ancient civilizations. And for free. Just oustanding. One of the best channels by far.
The narration is world class. The only thing that saddens me somewhat is that they started showing the presenter and making it partly about them instead of entirely about the topic. It used to be unbelievably refreshing to not have a sequence where a presenter talks about themself.
This is a remarkable body of work, thank you, It also brings back memories of my travels. At 1.16.32, there is a set of steps, on which I was sitting having a cigarette, my backpack between my feet. A man tried to grab my pack and run, but I grabbed his wrist and put my ciggy out on the back of his hand. He didn't 'arf scream !
free to remember that our deeds preceeds us and follows our path. Thanks again to the producers of this magnificent prowess of information for future generations to know what consequences unfold as we believe to be invincible and see enemies in our brethrens
As a sponsor of your work through Patreon, I have been waiting a long time for the completion of the video component of this episode. Well worth the wait ....
Wonderful, I was waiting for this one. I have been listening to the Audio version with Google Maps open to get an idea of the names, distances and landscapes involved. Thanks for your hard work, much appreciated.
I have never heard better recounting of history than in this series. It is so far ahead of any competitors that there is no comparison. Waiting for part 2 in great anticipation.
I went to Peru in 2011. It is amazing. So many things to see and do . I spent 2 days at MP . I'd go back if I had the time and money . There are so many beautiful place to see in the world . We that can do it are blessed.
This channel produces videos of a depth and quality that is superior to well-known international TV companies. History, geography and socio-political presented in an interesting and intelligent manner. The people behind this channel deserve to be better recognised and supported for their magnificent effort. -- Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
I want to thank you for creating this series. I've become almost addicted whereby I can't sleep without having this on in the background. Your voice is so soothing and the delicate music is so relaxing. Only I don't listen to this specific one at night because the story of the collapse is SO disturbing. Gives me bad dreams.
Is this how it feels to see nineveh ruins as Xenophon, just a mere few centuries after it's fall? Machu Picchu is such an incredible wonder. Minus the overgrown vegetation of course, but to imagine it as such fascinates me.
The only reason I pay for YT premium, so I can fall asleep to these phenomemal videos without being interupted. Don't worry, I alreqsy watched it while awake, they are just so comforting to fall asleep to..

Because they're motivated by profit rather than intrinsic love. That's why markets lose and fail in the long run.

my ancestors fought the Romans and WW2!
and i have traveled Peru, too!
@@Arltratlo those are not signs of civilization. Peru has pyramids, geoglyphs and megalithics that are still a mystery to signs
Sweet words!
Big hug from Peru
So nice to hear your wonderful voice and watch your amazing work. In this messed up world you are bringing some much needed relief. Be blessed. Gratitude snd love from South Africa. ❤️
This channel has been saving my life during lockdown
Paul's work is so excellent! They are the best on UA-cam, if not the whole of the internet AND TV! Spread the word people ! ! !
Thank you! Great job!
Machu Picchu is amazing. I travel around the globe n this site is by far the most awesome, better than Rome 😂. Breathtaking perfection. Complete harmony. Peaceful. Serene. Love it. It’s not high altitude, actually lower than Cusco.
Coca leaves also help w altitude sickness.
absolutely! The most incredible place I have seen in my life.
and did you see anything like art or pictures to prove it was the Inca who built it?
@Janitor Queen your just trying to make me look dumb. It was us who built them
Machupichu takes your breath away, and yes it's lower in altitude compared to Cusco.
¡¡Me llegás Bencho!! Mis respetos por tus pods. Es decir sin quitarle lo picante le entrás al punto a la información y abordaje del purrún.
Dear Sir, I can’t thank you enough for Fall of Civilisations. You’re my absolute hero!
Agreed
Hero?
Between Fall of Civilisations and History Time, both have the high quality documentaries that cannot be matched anywhere. Please keep it up!
Peru is one place I would love to go back. I spent 6 weeks there. It is beautiful. So many places in the country to see . I even spent a week in the Amazon jungle. Get up to Cusco. Walk the city. I also took a bus to Lake Titicaca
True intelligence has, at its heart, a welcoming presence that brings a light of knowledge onto the populace. Rare is the gift of oratory that transfixes an audience to fully injest mounds of information, only to want more. Mr. Copper, your talents are immeasurable at bringing dusted history to living life with the best historical documentaries I have ever seen! I am a huge history buff, having watched every serious television historical documentary series made over the past four decades and your work is unequalled. You elicit an incredible range of emotions from your audience with your poetic and lyrical approach to the all-too-often tragic ends of past world cultures. Let the lesson ring out every time that we see one of your newest episodes.....every cultural operational system that helps a civilization exist is far more fragile than we can ever think.
I literally LOVE how this guy starts the videos. Best intros ever
Always worth the wait!! As a native Hawaiian, hearing about the incredible feat of these terraces in the Andes gets me excited to hear what you would have to say about Hawaii's fishponds, Heiau's, and taro patches. If the rise and fall of Old Hawai'i ever became an interest to you. -K
I really like this idea!
If you didn’t know. Hiram Bingham was born in Hawai’i, early missionary family.
@@Darjeelingla did not? 🤔 Thanks for the bit of history!
I always wonder how much knowledge we would have now if all the old civilizations weren’t conquered by the Europeans.
@@shellecapos8574 the world would definitely look a different place, that's for sure 🤔
If only my university lecturers had managed to retain my rapt attention in the way you do with your content I might have come out with several first class honours rather than the 2:1 and 2:2 that i ended up with. Thank you for the huge amount of work you put into this content. @Fall of Civilizations
I used to live in Bolivia and Peru 10 years between La Paz, El Alto, Sica Sica, Puno, Sucre, and Arequipa. Thank you for making this one. I've been waiting for it! Cheers!
One of My favorite things to do on Sunday mornings is listening to your history lessons. I thank you from my soul.
There are about 3 UA-cam channels where I always watch the ads because they deserve any compensation they can get and this is one of them. Great work as always.
Could you name the other two, please?
@@alvarorubenvera5915 No I'm not naming them because I feel like you want to give a lecture on the right UA-cam channels to support and I don't feel like hearing it.
I have been waiting for this. Your work is truly incredible Paul
Thank you! Hope it's worth the wait.

I just went to machu picchu, it's the most beautiful place
I tell everyone i know about this page. Even have to watch episodes multiple times just so i can retell the stories better! Thanks thanks thanks sooo much! ❤️
Wow the visuals in the beginning are breathtaking! You’re content is top notch & I loveeeee getting a notification that you uploaded bc I know I’m in for a fascinating trip through history lol. It’s a gloomy Sunday morning & The fact that I can make my coffee & lay in bed to watch this makes me happy haha. Thank you!
Thank you! Yes I love these aerials so much.
I remember sitting up there watching the clouds. Peru is amazing.
Possibly if not the most well made documentary I’ve seen in a very long time. Watching everything in this channel
Such a great channel! Have to rewatch it now, as i fell asleep. Paul’s voice is just too soothing…
then speaks the first reader who sounds like the male google translate voice, but actualy a human instead of google translate.
Yes his voice is more interesting than the information as this didn’t teach much as to acquiring real knowledge
Im a Peruvian and i own a large farm in the valley of pisco and Ive found a small pyramid . Peru is weird you se endless desert and suddenly a green valley with large pyramids
Hello from North America! How common is English in your area? How far is the pyramid you found from the main archaeological sites that most of us foreigners would know about?
I am, too because I identify as Peruvian.
You must ask how desert happen and by what kind weapond 😅😅😅😅 .. pyramid is not build for human 😊😊😊😊 i hv seen it all but must remain quiet as reward😢😢😢😢
Hi from Croatia
@@marinpope1729hello from Pennsylvania
I've watched all the episodes and I have to say the ability to visualize these stories brings such satisfaction
That was a fascinating journey, thank you!👍😊🙏
During my brief visit to Machu Picchu, the guide informed us it was built as a type of University, a place for the young to be trained in the priestly, noble study of the stars. I cannot speak to the veracity of this, but found the idea very intriguing.
I visited as well, and have never heard that theory, either (and read extensively on the pre-Columbian civs, as I taught Spanish for years)
They were lying. It was a temple of doodoo worship
This is a great documentary. Covers the history of Peru and the Incas extremely well.
The very best documentaries that I have ever seen in my life, the amount of quality and detail is astounding and I always love the epic background music.
Bedankt
That’s my sunday evening sorted. I have been on the edge of my seat awaiting this one. Thank you for your phenomenal work.
Heading to Peru for our honeymoon from Liverpool England in 7 days. Can’t wait to see some of these sites in person. This podcast will be playing in my head whilst adventuring. What a podcast!
It's an amazing place - enjoy!
Omg I couldn't have asked for a better timing!!!! I literally just finished watching the last video on your channel!! Thank youu!
As a lover of history, I can say wholeheartedly that I have learned so much about these ancient civilizations. And for free. Just oustanding. One of the best channels by far.
Thank you, I really enjoy this long episodes of this nicely narrated and beautifully illustrated series.
Glad you enjoy it!
Ashame the plains dont make a sphere
Well said and I completely agree-👍

The narration is world class.
The only thing that saddens me somewhat is that they started showing the presenter and making it partly about them instead of entirely about the topic. It used to be unbelievably refreshing to not have a sequence where a presenter talks about themself.
This is a remarkable body of work, thank you, It also brings back memories of my travels. At 1.16.32, there is a set of steps, on which I was sitting having a cigarette, my backpack between my feet. A man tried to grab my pack and run, but I grabbed his wrist and put my ciggy out on the back of his hand. He didn't 'arf scream !
I know it’s not really a small channel, but I like to see this as a secret little corner of the internet that only few of us know about
Yeee :3
Too late. this has 3.2 million views already.
Very well prepared and educated. You include a multitude of information not usually taught on these civilizations
Was in Machu Picchu in 1989, brings back a ton of memories. Thank you. Just saw this channel. Subscribe right away.
Anthropological aspect of these civilizations is absolutely fascinating! I need to pay a visit in Peru!
Brilliant research and presentation 🤙🏼🤘🏼
free to remember that our deeds preceeds us and follows our path. Thanks again to the producers of this magnificent prowess of information for future generations to know what consequences unfold as we believe to be invincible and see enemies in our brethrens
I absolutely love getting to re-experience the podcast all over again
High praise, coming from the King of Kings.

As a sponsor of your work through Patreon, I have been waiting a long time for the completion of the video component of this episode. Well worth the wait ....
Thanks for the support Andrew, glad you thought so!
Wonderful, I was waiting for this one. I have been listening to the Audio version with Google Maps open to get an idea of the names, distances and landscapes involved. Thanks for your hard work, much appreciated.
This post is so Amazing! I am of the age when a study of my past (and passing),... is now more important to understand my future yet!
Paul? I just love these. The way its narrated, the way its researched. Kudos.
Another mesmerizing episode. I'll never get enough of these podcasts. Will be watching them again and again.
The quality of these videos is literally unparalleled. 👍🏻🔥😁
I have never heard better recounting of history than in this series. It is so far ahead of any competitors that there is no comparison. Waiting for part 2 in great anticipation.
Yeaaaaaaah!!!!!!! I WAS SOOOO EXCITED THAT YOU UPLOADED AGAIN!!! LETS GOOOOOO
I went to Peru in 2011. It is amazing. So many things to see and do . I spent 2 days at MP . I'd go back if I had the time and money . There are so many beautiful place to see in the world . We that can do it are blessed.
It is an incredible place
Some of the best content on YT, hands down. Always make me want to play AoE2 as well lol

All countries are beautiful and that’s subjective.

This channel produces videos of a depth and quality that is superior to well-known international TV companies. History, geography and socio-political presented in an interesting and intelligent manner. The people behind this channel deserve to be better recognised and supported for their magnificent effort.

I want to thank you for creating this series. I've become almost addicted whereby I can't sleep without having this on in the background. Your voice is so soothing and the delicate music is so relaxing. Only I don't listen to this specific one at night because the story of the collapse is SO disturbing. Gives me bad dreams.
Is this how it feels to see nineveh ruins as Xenophon, just a mere few centuries after it's fall? Machu Picchu is such an incredible wonder.
Minus the overgrown vegetation of course, but to imagine it as such fascinates me.
What a wonderful story through history . . especially the naration's well spoken language comes to mind
