There is no greater level of excellence than this series. Mr Cooper has devised and executed the high water mark for documentary history. I started out just listening to these pods as a podcast, not knowing there were YouTube episodes. There are a number that are so evocative you are there back in time with the people , through the narrator - its spellbinding.
The episodes on the Phoenicians and Assyrians are incredible.
You watch this and something like "The Rest is History" seems like a children's story. David Starkey can create worlds and nuance like this series, but Mr Cooper takes it all much further.
I knew a little about the Sumerians and Egyptians and the Vikings. This series brought me real knowledge on those eras . The rest of the series are just peaks of pleasurable listening, deep dives into the mists of time. This series gives the viewer a rich, textured , understanding of our forebears. Magnificent,
