- Join us on a captivating journey through history as renowned historian Will Durant delves into the life and legacy of one of the most extraordinary rulers in the annals of human civilization, Suleiman the Magnificent. In this enlightening video, Durant masterfully brings to life the reign of the Ottoman Empire's iconic sultan, Suleiman I, and provides invaluable insights into the socio-political landscape of the 16th century.
Rocky - miss your presentations. Not a word from you since 2019. Fear you have become part of history. If so, thank you for the wonderful gifts you have left behind.
The channel just scheduled a 12 video series. They're back.
My name is Daniel Sanderson, I purchased the channel from Rocky last year for $500. Rocky needed to go on to other things. I haven't made any substantial changes to the channel beyond updating the thumbnails (with the help of Midjourney's AI) and responding to comments.
I am a philosopher and want to do more Will Durant content and offer a free course. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
@@DurantandFriendshello Daniel:
I believe you may be interested in reading the books of scholar Amaury De Reincourt. Very heavy on philosophy.
@@DurantandFriends thank you Daniel for keeping it going and for the graphics.
Is it possible to add visuals as well? It would make the experience and digestion much easier! Please :)
@@DurantandFriends do you know where these clips are pulled from? I think this is from the Age of Faith book but I want to find the audiobook with Grover Gardner reading
Come back Rocky!!!! The people cry out for your return!
You're the only person I can find who seems to have the original books-on-tape recording of Story of Civ. Will and Ariel's writing simply isn't the same without Grover's magnificent reading, and we get neither without Rocky C's posting ;)
No matter what, best wishes to you. I hope this comment finds you happy and well-read
This pulls together so many fragments of information I've randomly, inadvertently learned. It's little a Knowledge Quickening.
I listen to Will Durant like religiously. So hard to find long form content like this.
Amazing resources brought to listeners around the world enjoyable with lasting gratitude . Thanks!!
Rocky is back with more Will Durant! Thanks friend

This man has The Voice.
Thank you for putting this collection together for everyone to enjoy, Rocky C. It's a well written comprehensive collection.
Thanks for turning me on to Will Durant. Diggin' him and these kooky scholars!!!
You are awesome for posting these!
Durant's writing is elegant and fanciful but to the point. You get this birds eye perspective on stuff.
Thanks RC, hope you are well.
The Story of Civilzation: Book VI - The Reformation. The Strangers In The Gate - Suleiman the Magnificent pg.695-719
(For those whom like to read along.)
Thanks for sharing your observations..there have been only a FEW voice narrators of that calliber thUS far and ROCKY IS ONE OF THEM IN MY OPINION
It's unfortunate that such a seemingly glorious history has fallen so.
Great content thank you from Turkey 👍
So I absolutely love this channel! I really appreciate all the uploads. One thing though, do you think you or someone could make a playlist/label which videos belong to which book? I kind of tried to figure it out myself but haven’t been able to.
thanks
Special efforts 👍
Hey Rocky, I would love for you to please do a review of the book W.I.L.D., What Is Life Definitively by A. Radical.
Thank you.
Is it legal to convert this in a UA-cam to MP3 converter? This audiobook is great to have in my collection!
Can you make a video about Alexander the Great?
Hope everything is going well with you Rocky.
Real history. Rightly explains the origins of the crusades
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
damn you still alive fam?
these names are tough
Read or listen to Empires of the Sea, by Crowley. It fills in a lot of his life and conquest. Bloody......
Thanks for the book suggestion.
What sort of videos are planned to be uploaded?
Lets get to aknowledge that Zafavid Persia was pillaged left and righ by the usual powers
Will Durant could have posted some pictures of Iranian masterpieces, stolen by the British.
At 11:01 is he saying he was as "amenable" as a girl?
Amiable
Today's Muslim vices of persecution are the Christian vices of yesterday it seems.
Islam today is about the same age as Christianity during the Reformation.
History prefers a cyclical existence.

51:00 "...were welcomed with open arms." Weird way of saying they were raped indiscriminately.
Perhaps you should write your own history book.
Should I not have more specifically named what was being alluded to in that line?
@@CulainRuledByVenus Had you read Will Durant more vigorously, you would have noticed that Mr. Durant has no problem addressing rape if it had been the case.
Thanks for assuming what I've read. My comment was only for that line, as specified. I never claimed he shied away from the subject in general.
I like colonnades.
Is this his voice?
This is the narrator of most of Durant's books, Grover Gardner.
@@LetsFindOut1 Thanks for the reply :) Do you think I could use portions of his audio for making animated videos here on UA-cam without a copyright strike
Let's Find Out ASMR thanks - was wondering about the voice for months
@@LetsFindOut1 Cool to see you around here, I always enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!
30:32 ?!
Barbarossas origin is albanian
The new AI art thumbnails are not good, sorry.
We would welcome your efforts to improve the thumbnails. Do you have any experience creating compelling thumbnails that represent the value of audio recordings? We would like to have some image consistency across the channel and would welcome your expertise in this area if you have that to offer.
@@DurantandFriends What I have to offer, friends, is healthy feedback of a longtime listener and of someone who has read every Durant book from cover to cover. The AI images look cheap, plastic and often ahistorical. For this specific video, the old thumbnail of a Suleiman's Tughra was perfectly appropriate. I don't know why is aesthetic consistency necessary for topics that span three thousand years of history. I teach history, as an example, and the images I use are the most common statues or paintings of famous figures. It's free, quick and timeless. The AI aesthetics are already aging poorly. I can tell that you must have put much effort into it, but the point stands. What would really bring more attention to to the channel if your were to put up new excerpts from the books.
@@LukeGeoDude thank you for your feedback and suggestions.
