This episode explores the rise and fall of one of history’s greatest cities — Babylon. From its humble beginnings to Hammurabi’s empire, from Assyrian domination to Nebuchadnezzar’s golden age, and finally to its fall under Cyrus and decline under Alexander — we cover the full story.

We also dive into the myths and legends that shaped Babylon’s reputation, from the Tower of Babel to the “Whore of Babylon,” and separate fact from centuries of exaggeration.

🎬 Monthly Update – August Plans! 🎬

Hey everyone! Time to share what’s coming to the channel this month — and it’s going to be a busy and exciting one 👇

📌 On the way:

• Pompeii: The Day the Sky Fell — A dramatic, eyewitness-style retelling of the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius. Life, death, and volcanic fire in one of the most haunting disasters of the ancient world.
• Slave Prices in Ancient Rome — A detailed look at how human lives were bought and sold in one of history’s most complex slave economies. We’ll break down real prices, market trends, and what it all says about Roman values.
• History of Ancient Babylon — From Hammurabi to Nebuchadnezzar, we’ll uncover the real history behind the myths — kings, conquests, and the city that shaped empires.
• Battle of Dyrrachium — The fourth installment in our Caesar’s Civil War series. This was one of Caesar’s most dangerous moments — a narrow escape, a tactical lesson, and a turning point in Roman history.

👉 Plans may shift a bit — sometimes an episode takes longer than expected or gets ready ahead of schedule. But for now, this is what we have in mind for August.

💡 Got ideas of your own? Drop them in the comments! We always read them and often take them into account when choosing topics for future videos.

Thanks for following along — let us know which topic you’re most hyped for! 👇

🌀 Early Access for Patrons & Members: “Who Were the Minoans?” — Now with Human Voiceover! 🌊

Hey everyone!

We’re excited to share early access to our remastered video “Who Were the Minoans?” — now featuring a brand-new human voiceover for a smoother, more immersive experience. This upgraded version replaces the original AI-narrated release and will go public on Monday — but you can watch it right now.

The Minoans were Europe’s first advanced civilization—brilliant builders, seafarers, and artists whose legacy echoes through Greek myth. In this documentary, we explore their rise, their mysterious script, their powerful queens and priestesses, and the cataclysmic eruption that helped bring their world to an end.

If you’ve seen the original, we think you’ll enjoy this improved version even more. And if you’re new to the story of Minoan Crete — you’re in for a ride.
