Who else fell asleep and woke up to this ?
Me😂
Me too 😅
Here here 🤣
😂 bruh
Lol same😅
I listen to these almost every night. Learn some things for about an hour then drift off to sleep. Voice is so calming
I do too. It can take me a couple of weeks to listen to a video, depending on the length.
My favourite channel, by far.
Today's my day off. Listening while I clean my house. 😊
Thank you for taking me to the Empire of the Inca.
He left out brown people didn't have the wheel until whitey
@@beyondalpha1072 What!!!
Well worth a trip if you get the chance - as I did in ahem, 1988!
I love cleaning and stretching to these podcasts!
@@elhombredeoro955 He is trying to convey that, despite all the destruction brought by the conquistadors, people in the Americas did not use the wheel for transportation purposes (chariots, wheelbarrows, etc) and the concept was hence introduced by the Spaniards (not altruistically), so it was well worth it!
Well done for representing @beyondalpha1072. Whitey rules!
Hearing the Quechua like my granny spoke is great. Thank you for covering my ancestors, and thanks from all the Huancavilca.
That's beautiful!
That’s so lovely ❤️
please be the grandmother/father to your grandchildren who recall you speaking their language in the autumn of your years
Your ancestors were an advanced race and inspiration to many. They not only show us where we went wrong but remain the most impressive and masterful civilisation this world has known. Thankyou for leaving us your beautiful history and achievements, learning about Quechua people changed the way i view the world and got myself and others past some low times. Priveledged to hear from a descendant. Peace :D
I started using these to wind down and sleep to. Thank you!
I’ve not slept in days 😳.
I fell asleep with youtube on and this popped up. Helped me lucid dream.
Best podcast in the world. Cant wait to listen to this one, thank you FALL OF CIVILISATIONS for all your fantastic work.
Thanks for listening!
@@FallofCivilizations Thank you for making this stuff. Helps me get through work and sometimes i just fall asleep relistening to older episodes. Incidentally, any chance on some more obscure cultures like the Nabateans, Mittani, or pre-Islamic Arabia?
Love this podcast so much!
You are helping get through dark dark times can't thank you enough. Not all heroes wear capes
I don’t know if you saw the Greenlandic Vikings episode, but that’s my favorite
Thank you for all these great podcast. I actually listen to them several times, not only because of the huge amount of information, but also because it is relaxing.
Welcome back!
You make overnight shifts go by in an instant, thank you sir
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
honestly cant believe im this hyped for a podcast
Really hope you enjoy!
Totally agree!
Agree in full. Since I discovered this podcast I am hearing it over and over again. The voice, the unfolding of the content makes the history to Agatha Christie play for me. More Mr Cooper, more ;-)
M my
Mate I got so excited when I saw he released another 🤣
I didn't think there'd be more. Can't wait for the video version
For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”.

Yay!!! Now I can spend the rest of the week trying to listen to this as I fall asleep, and then have to find the last part I remember hearing before dozing off 😂😂😂
Same plan
Very much a description of my week😅. Great voice and tempo!
You, too? 😏
The best and only way to go to sleep
@@lukeclark665 Agreed.
Can't begin to tell you how much I love these podcasts. First time using patreon, but helping to fund this couldnt have been an easier decision. I'd be devastated if these stopped coming out. Listened to them all at least twice, they help me drift off and get the best nights sleep, repeat every night having to find where I ended up the night before. Thanks for all your work!!
Thank you Luke, I'm so glad you're enjoying!
The best dreams too
Always a pleasure to see you pop-up in the inbox! Work became slightly more bearable today.
Glad to help out! Hope you enjoy.
People could learn more about the world we live in today through these podcasts than through years of any modern news source. I appreciate Paul's truly disciplined information dissemination more than I can express in a comment section, but here's my attempt.
Thank you.
Finally! An Inca empire documentary on YT that never mentions aliens!
I've read Prescott, Hemming, MacQuarrie, Vincent Lee and so many others. I have even visited and backpacked to every place you mentioned. Even so I have learned so much from your podcast. Well done.
😊🤪🤪😉😉😂😂😂

I’ve hiked the Inca Trail going up into arid mountain and then down into the jungle. We made it to the Sun Gate at dawn and then watched the clouds briefly clear to reveal Machu Pichu in the valley below. I explored Machu Pichu that afternoon taking no photos save for a booklet of sketches (which I lost that same year). It’s the cleanest air I’ve ever breathed and felt like being on a different planet.
Cool story bro!
These podcasts make you feel what it is to be human and connected to our common past, full of grandeur and sorrow. It gives me shivers..
I agree, truly a gift 🎉😊
Whoever you are who can't sleep tonight, is tired or sad, believe that there will be tomorrow that will light up your beautiful days.
You just need to endure a little more, a little more, and a little more ...
Thank you for being patient, thank you for being able to survive. And as you read this, promise yourself that you will be able to get through your toughest days in the future.
Promise to keep smiling, no matter how you are ...
You deserve to be happy :)
oh thank you. very nice message to read!
Thanks I need to read this I have trouble sleeping some nights.
This comment saved my life man
@@remmurray4318 be here now, in the moment, not in the myth of the months
Been rough for à long time. I keep trying and yet nowhere. Life has pretty much beaten me down. Ih well
I love 3 hour operas - same as "Fall of Civilisations", that brings music to my ears!
Literally the only thing in the world that I can be completely fascinated and enthralled by and other times fall asleep immediately at the same moment in the production. Bravo. Truly.
I love listening to these on my walks. I also love listening to these when I go to sleep, always gives me cool dreams. Furthermore, these make me love history and make me want to learn more.
It's hard to find quality documentaries for free on the Inca, thank you very much. Excited to learn more about this great civilization
Try reading a book then...

Literally the best documentaries ever made. I’ve watched hundreds of hours of them and there is no comparison. I know these take months to make but keep going, you have serious talent.
Right?!? Better than history channel or discovery.
Haunting and moving. I've learned so much.
@@ryanmackenzie4678 CZtbzf
Me too!
Aa
My heart aches. Thank you for the honesty and the Beauty
I love how your podcasts are just a whole different type of experience- even within the history genre.
Does he have other podcasts as well? I just discovered this one today
@@9Nails No, just “Fall of Civilizations”- the first 12 episodes- though each one is like an event when launched.

So true, I see there are a few dislikes and I am thinking who in the world could dislike this content..
The calm music and background noise really makes a difference
I like these vids so much I didn’t even skip the Raid: Shadow Legends ad, just to support your channel 😃

I love how you'll use the same kinda obscure word repeatedly in the same podcast. Today's is 'craggy'. Love it.
Haha thanks
I know I comment on every video... but can’t get over the quality of these! Please, please keep them coming.
The piano entry on all these episodes is so hauntingly beautiful.
It absolutely captures the moment in time, and at the end of the episodes I find myself in a sort of Thought paralysis as I reflect on Everything And can almost imagine and feel as if I was there during that time in history. Very, very well done and memorable.
amen. to me the choice of piano says that the civilization has fallen so thoroughly that we don't have their music so we use our own instruments to lament a dirge for them as best we can.
The whole story is hauntingly beautiful.
I’m so sorry
So well written if you close your eyes you are right there! And the Mood is al dente. Superb! Thank you very much
I asked about a podcast from my Inca ancestors a few months back and got my New Years gift of listening to you at work!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Making my donation when I get home tonight! Thanks again!!!
Another one! Hooray. That's my evening sorted.
Ditto

I've been waiting for this. Your teams work is always amazing and well worth the wait.
Glad you like them!
@@FallofCivilizations will there be a video version of this episode?
I've been having sleep issues lately, and your podcasts help me forget myself and drift off.
try burials self titled first album. a true masterpiece.
@@sa.8208 thanks for the recommendation
“Let them be happy and blessed…!” … absolutely overwhelming.
Thank you for all of your efforts.
I love finding the comments full of people just as excited for these podcasts as I am. Huzzah!
In all of your podcasts and depiction of long gone civilizations, this one hits the hardest. To think a people with such promise are toppled and ruined by the brutish greed of those who are seen as more civilized is truly a tragedy.
Sounds familiar
Easter Island, Aztecs and this one all kind of hurt.
It's all about greed and power. Evil abounds in mankind.
mesoamerica taking vengeance by migrating en masse to NA
@@daniel3231995 no amount of migration can take vengeance for 100s of thousands of deaths due to slavery and being worked to death. The meso American migrants are paying tax and building up the society once they are in and settled.
My favorite podcast does it again! I love all your episodes, the Aztec is my fav atm.
Keep it up, you are the best!
The Aztec one was exquisite. Just watched it yesterday so it's fresh in my mind,lol. Never had a documentary fill me with such a sense of loss and melancholy. Colonialism and war have destroyed so much of what humans have achieved. It's unreal.
@@ikediz Keep in mind that the Aztecs were a very violent war like culture who prayed upon and conquered the neighboring tribes who were weaker than them. It was not only the European colonists who sinned :)
time for sleep 😌 listening to this podcast, i travel to different worlds lying in bed at night
Honestly get excited to fall asleep listening to it lol
A most excellent rendition of history,
In the words of Tolkien, history passed to legend and legend passed to myth
My thanks
I know the lengthier contant is difficult to push on UA-cam, but thank you for what you do. Best history on UA-cam or television
Its amazing how similar the empires/governance/religion in the Americas were to those in the rest of the world, and yet there are huge differences as well.
Yes, the differences you kind of expect, the similarities are often more surprising.
Last one. I am gonna cry, lol. Discovered FoC only about 2 weeks ago. Tore through all of them now. Just blown away by the quality and scope of these documentaries. Thank you.
Really deserves more than a couple hundred thousand views. Surprised it’s not in the millions to be honest.
Thank you for your podcasts. I listened to the one about the Mexica aka 'aztecs.' Amazing work. This one about the Inca is also mesmerizing. I am a native Mexican from Tenochtitlan, aka Mexico City. I happen to be from Azcapotzalco, where Tezozomoc used to live with his Tepanec empire. I don't know if it's just me but a lot of emotions surface up when I listen to these podcasts between anger, pain, sadness, and wonder as to why these events happened the way they did. In my mind sometimes I imagine the Mexica empire and the Inca one making contact and creating an alliance that would have been magnificent to witness. Thank you for your amazing work. 🙏
They may have been in indirect contact, there was a lot of north-south trade along the coast.
Simply the best podcast. I’ve had to leave the active dissection of daily news for this respite. Thank you.
This series is the greatest Historical Podcast I've ever heard = This Mr Cooper is Fantastic!
KEEP GOING! You are exceptional. I have listened to and watched thousands of documentaries and podcast and these are BY FAR the best. The combination of your research, storytelling, voice acting is second to none.
Mm
When do we nominate you for being the saviour of all history nerds during a world wide pandemic. Thank you once again Paul you are irreplaceable and your content is incredible you never let your standards drop and I love every bit of it.
Finally! Thank you so much for the upload, I sincerely hope that this series will persist, even if it deviates a little from the downfall of civilizations. You seem to have the ability to make almost any historical matter seem interesting and engaging! Keep it up, my man!
You're very welcome!
Surely there are plenty of fallen civilisations still to cover? We’ve got thousands of years of them and we’re about to add another from the look of things :)
@@dontdeletemeyoutube6689 Next up, The Fall of the United States Empire...
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I was thinking the west in general but sure the US is looking... over ripe shall we say.
The outstanding quality of the research, writing and presentation of these podcasts is second to none.
I almost feel guilty admitting I too listen to them as I go to sleep.
At least I'm not feeding my subconscious with some of the drivel offered by lessor documentary makers.
You are worth the weeks or months between episodes. Thank you for taking the time to do it right.

In primary school my class had to do a project on an ancient civilisation - I chose the Inca. Cannot wait to digest all of this!
Yes! Thanks a lot for the amazing efforts!
Can you do the Indus Valley civilization next?
Ur documentary are best, bcoz it never makes us feel bored.
👍👍👍👍
Please do the fall of Persia (under the Muslim conquest) this is one of the most dramatic cases of Fall of Civilizations. The fate of Zoroastrian faith and its miraculous refuge in India is one of the chapters of this amazing story.
@Manichaean: I second the motion. If you haven't already, you might enjoy reading Gore Vidal's 1981 book "Creation". I just 'lived' in that book for about 2 weeks. It's a long historical novel that takes place during the time of Darius and Xerxes.
Finally I caught up to this episode! Can't wait to inevitably rewatch again with visuals!
I listen to a lot of podcasts but these are surely one of my favorites! Have listen to most of them multiple times. The one on Byzantine is one of my favorites, just love learning about the Romans. The Aztecs one was also phenomenal. Thank you so much!
Please don’t ever stop these podcasts are amazing!!!
Listened to every podcast. They are awesome.
These documentaries hit the soul in an amazing way
Your story telling ability, well presented fascinating content sprinkled with beautiful and interesting music ( not like History Channel that makes me feel like a freight train is going to run over me any minute) make all of your series a delight to look forward to. Thank you for sharing your great talent and the time and energy it must have taken to make these podcasts for us. Much appreciated!
Wow. What an excellent episode. Thankyou.
I love that you go into your sources for these things. It helps a lot with understanding how these stories reach us and what influences it might have had on how we're hearing it today.
These are the best history videos I've ever found on UA-cam, keep up the amazing work! I'd like to suggest the Ottoman Empire, Edo Japan, the Mughal Empire, Carthage, the Maori, the Kievan Rus, the Iroquois Confederation, Roman Italy, and the Mongol Empire as possible episode ideas
I’m interested in the Algonquin Confederation because they were living in my Town. The Tappan Zee Bridge was named for the Tappan Tribe and the Dutch word for Sea, Zee. Coumo changed the name of the bridge to the Governor Mario Coumo Bridge. We refuse to call it that.
I have no words to describe how much i love your podcast. And i hope you achiewe all your goals man !
This channel is absolute historical gold
Thanks man nice work, best company for the night shift
Quechua is such a beautiful-sounding, expressive language. I was moved hearing the poem at the end, both in the original and in the translation. Superb.
1:04:24 te CC CC CC free weeeeeew
I stumbled onto these podcasts a few months ago and they have been my escapist salvation in a world seemingly in the midst of its own fall. Thanks so much for the gift of compassionate historical storytelling. You continue to prove the adage that the truth is often stranger (and more fascinating) than fiction.
EàTvx7',hc、わ〜
I love all your episodes, and they affect me on a deep emotional level, but this one had me sobbing. Then the poem was read at the end, and I was in pieces.
N😮
Unreal the amount of depth you put into these videos. Thanks so much!
The problem with going asleep to these is that you stay awake for four hours! :D
so true!
Same!
just means you get to listen again tomorrow ❤
Yup yup!
Then your phone battery dies and your alarm doesn’t go off in the morning.
Ever since the Aztec episode I’ve been waiting for this...
thank you !
You’ve made my coursework feel a little bit easier to do.
Can’t wait for the documentary version!
High quality stuff! Better than anything on TV.
Narration is just amazing. Definetly worth the wait.
Yay! I've been waiting for an Inca episode!
Yes I get super excited with every release. I use this podcast to go to bed haha!
You are a part of my every day. I appreciate the long hours you put into these podcasts and learn so much every time I listen.
Thanks for listening Janet!
This podcast is just building up to it's greatest and probably longest episode: The Fall of Rome (In the West).
I’ve already listened to this 5 times..
Best way to start the year
These podcasts are great. I’m hooked.
This podcast is art.
I can't wait for the US of A episode.
Hmm let's see how you feel when China is the daddy of the world.
Best historical content on UA-cam hands down! Well done and thank you!
A superb addition to an already outstanding channel!
I'm amazed at how many like me fall asleep listening to you. Then I have to listen again. I listen to you throughout the day, your so relaxing and I've learned so much. Your so thorough in your historical renditions
I have been eagerly anticipating your next publication. Especially in recent weeks because I figured the time was about right. Very happy to see a mesoamerican civilization again.
I also just want to reiterate that I love and greatly enjoy the length of these. Some content creators attempt to be concise and short, I highly favor the longevity of these. Thank you for doing this.
WOOOO! Love being surprised by these
I can't wait for the video version,.Excellent work!,
This is the best series on UA-cam. I love every episode
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE VIDEO VERSION!!!!
Coming soon!
Ahhh I'm so excited. You have the most captivating and well-produced series. I'll be watching this for weeks
The music alone is fantastic...
This is a top 5 channel on Y T and will soon be in the millions of subs , well deserved
I always look forward to these videos! Thanks for the effort you put into them
My pleasure!
