    20. Persia - An Empire in Ashes
    Nov 12 2025

    In the highlands of the Iranian Plateau, a collection of enormous pillars reach up to the sky...

    In this episode, we tell the story of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Find out how this remarkable ancient power sprung up from the rubble of a ruined world to become the most powerful human society on earth. Hear how they raised their grand palaces and monuments, and brought an unprecedented number of people together within their borders, as well as coming into conflict and cooperation with other ancient peoples. And finally find out what happened to bring the palaces of the Persian kings crashing down in fire and flame.

In my opinion the right amount of information, to give you a overview about a civilization. It gives you a great base knowlege and possibly starts the intrest to learn more.

Right amount of information

my journey with fall of civilisations started on YouTube. I genuinely think this is the best informational format about history you can enjoy outside of professional lectures from history professors. I really realty highly recommend this! Paul Cooper is extremely proficient as a narrator, researcher and writer.

Best history podcast you will find.
