Someone give this man a show already. Enough with the storage wars reruns history channel, this is actual history. You sir are doing Gods Work….we thank you!
I prefer it not being TV. The slower, meticulous presentation opens your mind's eye. On TV it'd be ruined by re-enactments and cutaways with Tsoukalos.
I was lucky enough to visit Petra in 2015. It is a breathtaking place and I was fascinated by the history of the people who carved the buildings out of stone. Another exceptional podcast!
You have taught me more about ancient history than any teacher ever has. Thank you for bringing such invaluable information to a free platform. Plaudits to you sir
I love this series. This is probably one of the best channels on UA-cam for ancient civilisation history. I especially love the style of storytelling, the sounds, music, and the "voices/quotes" of historical people makes you feel as if you’re right there with them in that time period.
As someone who hasn't been lucky enough to travel much or experience different cultures, these podcasts are a small glimpse into the beauty and rich histories of our world that I am very grateful for. Thank you and your team for such high quality educational and yet emotional videos.
I would just like to say that while traveling is wonderful, you are not limited by your lack of experience. Despite what some say, there are many people who travel, yet remain culturally illiterate. Don’t forget that our recent ancestors, before the age of common travel, were well-versed in the history of many cultures. The men who founded the United States, for example, were typically educated in multiple languages (usually Latin and Greek) and they had deeply studied world history (much more than the average American today). Don’t ever let someone make you believe that you can’t understand foreign cultures because you haven’t had the opportunity to “travel.” It’s not often that people study even their own history these days. I would argue that if you pick a country and study its history deeply, you can, in fact, become more educated on the subject than the average citizen of that country. Nobody gets to gatekeeper history.
I've told everyone I know about how great this podcast is. I think it is one of the best things out there on the Internet right now. I wish you guys sold a CD library of all the episodes!
Needed this so badly. Was stuck in a mental spiral of self hate and suicidal thoughts. This is what i needed to distract myself long enough for the mood to pass.
I don't know you or what religion you are. But i myself had the same issues. Please go talk to a Catholic priest about the suicidal thoughts. They can get you in contact with a priest with faculties who can help. I fought off suicidal tendencies for many years and doing what the priest told me after a few months completely stopped me being attacked by such thoughts. I pray you'll find help and healing like i was. After 25yrs i have life back. Give it some thought? ❤
Petra is truly an amazing place. Had the opportunity to do some archaeological work there in 2014 and I will never forget the first time I saw Al-Khazneh.
I too, explored Petra . And this show answers questions I have pondered since being there! I bet even as an archaeologist, that you learned a lot from this show too. For one thing, who would think the Nabeteans had all that water and knew how to hide it?
May I suggest the Mitanni and Hittites for future consideration. Love your work! The fact that you teach how the people and the land shape each other has this geographer's approval.
Oh my goodness!!!! I really needed this. I keep relistening to the Sumerians and the Aztecs and wanting for more. I’m beyond happy. Normally I like to wait for a season to be over before I watch a show. But I fell on to this podcast and I’m so in love.
I got my interest into ancient civilizations from my world history class in the 8th grade. the story of the Indus River valley Civilization really stuck with me. it made me fascinated with how ancient civilizations around the world end in such a similar pattern. whether that be war, lack of resources, too large of a population, or climate change and other environmental issues. I started to do my own research, and that's when I came across this channel. next year, I'm going into 9th grade. and as someone who still wants to learn more, I really appreciate everything that this channel does. the audio quality is on point. I love to listen as I go to sleep and picture in my head how these civilizations got by until they're subsequent end. I'm planning on going to college when I graduate, and studying ancient civilizations. I love linguistics, and would like to be a linguistic anthropologist. so, thank you for making such great content. it really makes my day whenever you upload.
These are honestly superb, my personal favourite was the Byzantium episode. Superbly researched, superbly narrated, structured superbly, and even bringing in traditional musicians. This channel reminds me why I don't watch TV generally, because this is head's and shoulders above what most producers can do on 6 times the budget. Bravo, you have a new patreon subscriber, long may you continue making these 👏
I was recently wondering when Petra and the Nabataeans would be covered. I visited there in March of this year, and the site was nothing short of spectacular, one of the greatest places I've visited.
@@darrynmurphy4764, I was in Petra in 2004, but I really want to go back. Especially since I saw the documentary 'the sacred city' by Dan Gibson. Would love to see if it makes sense what he is stating.
I just dont know... I mean where are all the ancient aliens in these series? History channel (it's in the name even) tells me that maybe, just maybe, certainly everything was made by aliens with rock cutting lazers. Though I do feel that Giorgio Tsoukalous hair had something to do with it also.
Love the whole series of podcasts. I would suggest for a future series of shows, a series on what stage various civilizations were at , at particular points in time
I've been mesmerized by your podcast for some time now. It's hard to find captivating history content in this format, and even harder to come across such incredible research and attention to detail. I hope this reaches as many people as possible. Thank you Paul!
I was just rewatching the Inca and Aztec episodes! Thank you for making such amazing works of art and for doing so much research to educate us UA-cam folks! Keep it up and thanks again
The writing is stellar. This is fantastic. Because i have seen films of this place, while i was listening to this - I was almost transported to Petra. I could smell the frankincense - see the colors, you did a spectacular job of narrating. This is precious to me. Thank you. i am very grateful
It feels like my birthday every time I open the podcasts app and there's a surprise new Fall of Civ episode waiting for me, thanks so much for creating this incredible series!!
I was so pleased to see a new FoC released today. Such wonderful storytelling. Every episode is compelling, and through words alone is capable of evoking rich and inspiring imagery in my mind. Truly moving, and a wonderful gift to students of history. Please keep going - and continue even once you have exhausted all possible fallen civs, to other topics. You are clearly a profoundly gifted team, both academically and artistically. Thank you for making my life richer - I've loved each and every episode of this series. Your only fault is that your descriptions of the ancient world never fail to awaken an overpowering wanderlust in my heart. Which, with their touching poignance, makes me want to abandon my own academic pursuits to visit the ruins you so eloquently provide a narrative to match. Looking forward to hearing of the Majapahit, and the heady, haunting tones of the gamelan in the background.
I’m still working my way through your absolutely fantastic series of programmes thinking to myself “what do I do when I’ve finished them all?” and hey presto a brand new episode appears! ⭐️
We’ve all been there! Fortunately they bear up to multiple listens. I put them on at half speed at night and not only do they help me sleep, but it makes it take longer for me to wear out an episode.
Another magnificent and beautiful telling of a once lost civilization. These are truly some of the best historical analysations I've ever encountered. I appreciate your work so much and I look so forward to ever episode you release. Please do not stop!
Try and imagine the way they must have felt, as they watched the time pass on the last podcast available. They must have looked on in fear and dismay and wondered, how could this podcast ever end? They would have pilfered through the youtube channel, taking anything of value, the comments barren and abandoned. All jokes aside, this podcast has given me great joy. I appreciate all the effort you and your voice actors have put into this.
What a joy to come across this. I recall suggesting the Nabateans about a year ago. Was well worth the wait, such a masterpiece! Today is a great day indeed.
I was so happy when I saw a new podcast posted on my Spotify, truly made my day. Ever since I first came across your episode on The Sumerians, I have been captivated. The in-depth explanations really bring history into perspective to many of us who are so disconnected from our ancestors. I just subscribed to your patreon because I feel like what you do is so important. This isn’t something you can find in some ordinary textbook. The amount of research and composition that goes into each episode is obvious.
These videos are extremely well put together, I love the focus on differing perspectives and the information density, and they are told with a true story tellers art
Thank you to you and your narrators this latest fascinating episode. As ever I will no doubt listen to it several times in the coming months; I have revisited your previous works many times, they are so rich and evocative.
this series is absolutely my favorite thing in the world right now. this episode had no moving video for me. i'll continue to check back to see if it's updated at some point. thank you to everyone involved with these episodes, my life is better for having experienced them
Wonderful thing about this channel is it's universal appeal in uncovering humanities enduring footprints left on all continents. I would really enjoy seeing/hearing a series on the long timely story of Human Migrations that led up to the short bursts of civilization worldwide.
37k views in under 24 hours!! Wow! You deserve it man, top notch research and presentation. I'm thrilled to see your channel rightfully grow, congratulations. Please keep it up.
I'm so freaking excited. I've watched the other ones like five or six times in a row and listened to them at night as I drift off to sleep watching battles and armies and mass extinction. It's glorious. I've been starving for some great FoC WOOHOOOOO! My inner fat (okay, outer fat too) history kid wiggles with glee!
I was in Petra on February 2019. Not only the tombs are marvelous, also the siq (canyon) you have to walk to get there is astonishing. Going beyond there, you'll find the city's ruins, they are impressive even at the current state of deterioration. When I came home, I got back splendid photos, great memories and a strange cough. I recovered without problems from covid, but memories (and photos) are forever!!! I NEED the video :) "Fall of Civilizations" have become my current addiction. I can't believe there are ONLY 14 videos!!
I do wonder whether the absolutely superb documentaries in the “Fall of Civilisations” series could be picked up, funded by, and broadcast by the BBC and/or PBS. I have been particularly impressed by the quality of the *WRITING* in the series. Nothing I’ve seen on either the BBC or PBS can rival the rhetorically engaging writing; thorough cultural and historical research; or high production quality of each of the brilliant episodes in the series. I hope to see the podcast on the Nabataeans turned into a video as visually alluring and poetic as those on the Han, the Songhai, Vijayanagara, the Assyrians, and Byzantium (my personal favourites).
Saving this for the long drive home. Thank you for your amazing content and the effort it must take to put this together. Your videos are legendary in this space.
Can’t tell you how much I’ve missed hearing your voice! You’ve breathed new life into some areas of history I used to enjoy so much as a kid through your thorough and easy to understand videos
Unfortunately I only saw this late at night and I need to head to bed. Tommorow I'm listening to this because I know it's going to be as high quality as ever!
These always seem to come out right before I have a long drive! Perfect to listen to while driving long distances! Just a few more days of waiting and then I get to enjoy!!!
Many Thanks for providing this episode. It's an excellent listen as usual! I always wonder what fallen civilization is next, but would never have thought of the Nabataeans. The story about the beating of the greek army was particularly exciting. It was presented in a way I could imagine to see a movie about it.
Very nice as always. One particular thing I really like and find remarkable in these podcasts is giving some food recipies of each culture and time period.
Beautiful and interesting. I tried to imagine what your next podcast could be about, but I must admit that Petra never crossed my mind. That city had to be really beautiful in its glory days. The Nabateans lived by trade and, at the end, they died by trade, when their city became irrelevant in the new order of the late Roman empire. The dismissal of Petra by the Romans reminds me of the similar behavior of the Spanish conquistadors in Peru. First they conquered Cuzco, and with it the Incan empire, then they built Lima as a new capital on the coast, because they couldn't endure the height of the Andes. Next time you could make a podcast about the Sassanid empire, Carthage or the Etruscans. They would all make interesting stories.
You really have a way of drawing people in and immerse them in that time period. Even without the videos, I still feel as if I’ve lived as part of them. Amazing job as always. I love all your videos
You know every time I listen to or watch one of these I'm immediately struck with the thought that at some point someone will be making a historic assessment of how Western Civilization fell and what caused it and who we'll leave a mark on in the future .
Thank you 🙏 missed your insightful episodes. The best history lessons ever attended. So vidid, in which you describe everything & music transports one to the time you are evoking
Listened to episode 6 on the way to work (again), only to get to work and find a new episode alert that arrived while I was in transit! No complaints here!
I love these 💗 I have a really hard time concentrating on these for very long, but that just means FoC get so many more plays because I'll put it in and then get distracted or fall asleep. One day I will make it through an entire one!
I knew there was one due always excited for fresh content. My first and favourite podcast time to make a coffee put my feet up and bask in the glory of fall of civilizations.
I'm a huge fan of the channel, and I'm always happy to see a new episode... Being from Jordan I can't emphasize how excited I was to listen to this one! 🙏🙏
Someone give this man a show already. Enough with the storage wars reruns history channel, this is actual history. You sir are doing Gods Work….we thank you!
TV is fallen civilization.
Haha TV is 100% a fallen civ.. My most despised is TLC. It is now the antithesis of a channel about learning.
No joke, I would get cable again to listen to him tell me about fallen civs
I prefer it not being TV. The slower, meticulous presentation opens your mind's eye. On TV it'd be ruined by re-enactments and cutaways with Tsoukalos.

This really is the best history documentary channel on the internet. The production is impeccable.

Petra is truly an amazing place. Had the opportunity to do some archaeological work there in 2014 and I will never forget the first time I saw Al-Khazneh.
May I ask a juvenile question? How real or prevalent are grave robbers?
So did you see the place where Satan landed on Earth?
Wow. Amazing!
I dream of going there and seeing it and experiencing it some day. That must have been awesome!
I too, explored Petra . And this show answers questions I have pondered since being there! I bet even as an archaeologist, that you learned a lot from this show too. For one thing, who would think the Nabeteans had all that water and knew how to hide it?
even though it only came out today, i'm still a bit offended that it doesnt have a billion view already. These are the best thing on youtube.
May I suggest the Mitanni and Hittites for future consideration.

Beautiful, beautiful storytelling - I cried a little for Petra and its people, caretakers of a rich desert culture long gone. Thank you.

Thank you. Listening to this is absolutely magical.
Can't wait for the one with one with visuals! Love seeing artifacts, paintings, maps, etc.
I love this channel. Production quality is great.
Now I know the history every time I build Petra in Civ 6. Gotta love it. Can't wait for the next ones.
Many Thanks for providing this episode. It's an excellent listen as usual! I always wonder what fallen civilization is next, but would never have thought of the Nabataeans. The story about the beating of the greek army was particularly exciting. It was presented in a way I could imagine to see a movie about it.
Very nice as always. One particular thing I really like and find remarkable in these podcasts is giving some food recipies of each culture and time period.
Excellent - I'm going to save this for after work, so I can concentrate on the content.
Two hours that seemed like 20 minutes. This is the second time I’ve played this. There will be more. Encore! 👍
Great voice and I love listening to the history of the past❤🇸🇸
Beautiful and interesting. I tried to imagine what your next podcast could be about, but I must admit that Petra never crossed my mind. That city had to be really beautiful in its glory days. The Nabateans lived by trade and, at the end, they died by trade, when their city became irrelevant in the new order of the late Roman empire. The dismissal of Petra by the Romans reminds me of the similar behavior of the Spanish conquistadors in Peru. First they conquered Cuzco, and with it the Incan empire, then they built Lima as a new capital on the coast, because they couldn't endure the height of the Andes.
Next time you could make a podcast about the Sassanid empire, Carthage or the Etruscans. They would all make interesting stories.
A lovely summary, and thanks for the suggestions!
@@FallofCivilizations Please add the Achaemenids to that list.
@@FallofCivilizations if you can do anything on the sassanids or the etruscans, I will have no choice I will have to send you money.
You really have a way of drawing people in and immerse them in that time period. Even without the videos, I still feel as if I’ve lived as part of them. Amazing job as always. I love all your videos
Thanks for the consistent quality on your vids, simply amazing. Please never stop.
This channel carries on the spirit of the original History Channel.
You know every time I listen to or watch one of these I'm immediately struck with the thought that at some point someone will be making a historic assessment of how Western Civilization fell and what caused it and who we'll leave a mark on in the future .
Western society is falling now
Thank you 🙏 missed your insightful episodes. The best history lessons ever attended. So vidid, in which you describe everything & music transports one to the time you are evoking
Listened to episode 6 on the way to work (again), only to get to work and find a new episode alert that arrived while I was in transit!
No complaints here!
Happppyyyyyy!!! You and your team make THE BEST documentaries on youtube, by far!! Thank you a million. Dank je wel.
I love these 💗 I have a really hard time concentrating on these for very long, but that just means FoC get so many more plays because I'll put it in and then get distracted or fall asleep. One day I will make it through an entire one!
I love these documentaries so much!
I am very excited to see this new drop! Thank you for all you do!!!!
I knew there was one due always excited for fresh content. My first and favourite podcast time to make a coffee put my feet up and bask in the glory of fall of civilizations.
your videos always leave me feeling smarter after watching, and thinking about all those who were almost forgotten
I'm a huge fan of the channel, and I'm always happy to see a new episode... Being from Jordan I can't emphasize how excited I was to listen to this one! 🙏🙏
Brilliant! Fascinating stuff, thank you for your hard work.
A masterpiece, as usual, thank you so much.....I can't wait for your episode on the fall of Ancient Egypt!
One of the best podcasts all categories. What a find for new subscribers. I envy you!
Another beautifull podcast, thanks a lot for bringing the past back to life. It always leave me with a strange and deep feeling of wonder
It seems like every time I stop looking for a new episode you drop one just weeks later. This content 👌
Another solid hit, Paul. Looking forward to the video version. And I’m still waiting for your show on the fall of Old Kingdom Egypt.
Dear Peter, You produce the most valuable content on YT.
Thank You cordially.
