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.

The writing of "Egypt: Fall of the Pharaohs" podcast is completely amazing. It is so clear and compelling that once I started listening I was happily hooked! 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. Many thanks to the creator for his hard work, creativity and commitment to historical accuracy.

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!

The best History/ASMR channel on YT

[@danirijilla]

I can not describe how happy and excited I became as the thumbnail from this video showed up in my YT feed seconds ago :,)

[@markgaston8316]

The music that plays at the end of the introduction (7:50) is so fitting to the genre. Every time i hear it is so moving and thought provoking. Every episode 10/10. Thank you.

[@caiusofglantri5513]

It has become one of the most moving pieces of music that I hear, stirring excitement for the journey through stunning cultures that the peerless narrative evokes.

​@@caiusofglantri5513 YES YES YES!

Visiting Egypt was one of the great experiences of my life. Looking forward to this podcast.

That was extremaly well done take on whole Egyptian history! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 I am very glad to mentioned Crocodile Queen 👸🏽🐊 Sobekneferu (too many people think Hatshepsut was first female Pharaoh, when she wasn't) and that you didn't end on Persian conquest but went all way to Cleopatra the Great 👩🏻‍🦰👑🏛🔮🏺 and mentioned her skill in speaking Egyptian 💗💗💗 (she is my favourite Pharaoh and it is always nice to see her included - I don't like when people are excluding Ptolemies from ancient Egypt history, as they were as much its part as Libyand and Nubian Pharaohs!). I think this podcast is perfect for someone not familiar with Egyptian history, as it explains well the most important things. I just recently discovered your channel and I am absolutely in love after watching analysis of Aztecs and Incas - I wish there was more talk and documentaries on them and I am glad I found yours❣❣❣

These series’s are an artwork. Its the best free content of its kind. The creator should get a medal

[@karwashblark7499]

The part about poor Snefru trying to build his pyramid but it keeps copllapsing or sinking into the ground reminded me of that Monty Python scene where the guy keeps trying to build a castle in the swamp. "The third one burned down, fell over, and THEN sank into the swamp! But the fourth one... the FOURTH one STAYED UP!"

My thanks to all four of you!

[@Lagaidh]

You and your team's work is so refreshing. I hear a lot of the same notes from old favorite series such as Engineering an Empire or Secrets of Archaeology, but FINALLY... a content hero goes into granular detail ALONG with the well known high points. Thank you so, so very much. My pedantic love for minutiae is so very satisfied and it feels great! I always look forward to what you produce next.

[@FallofCivilizations]

Thank you, that's very kind

[@FOB_the_Builder]

Simply superb! This episode and Byzantium had me captivated with splendor and sorrow as the history of these great peoples ebbed and flowed. Although they may be long gone their influence on our world and our hearts will live on forever!

[@engineering_guy]

Man that first voice actor...so much feeling in his narration...truly a master of his craft.

[@chrisgilbert4016]

I’ve been waiting for this one for a loooooooong time. Your production value and thoroughness is incredible. It got a lot of us through COVID, etc. thanks so much for what you do.

[@FallofCivilizations]

Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed

[@roxanamendoza4189]

Thank you for a new wonderful video!

[@lurker-mq4fp]

Another superb upload. Egypt is such a vast civilisation that you can get lost in all the rises and falls. You navigated the enormous subject with aplomb.

[@ankamentoringyoutube]

My favorite bedtime stories is this Chanel. Cannot wait for the video on Egypt

[@QJW_1996]

Cannot wait to watch this on my commute to work! Thank you for all your hard work with these episodes!

[@DrkBahamut]

Another fantastic addition! Can't wait to watch again with visuals. Very much look forward to the book as well. Please continue chronicling our very own demises... perhaps we'll collectively learn something!?
