    Excellent content and narration, provided by a soothing yet authoritative voice. Learning ancient history, and its lasting impact today, has never been more enjoyable. Hours seemed to only last minutes, leaving a thirst for more.

  • @Sandouras
    The problem with the venetians wasn’t their presence. It was that they controlled trade through the empire, gaining 10 times from it that the emperor himself. The empire was more or less their protectorate. That’s why the Greeks hated them. They had no issue with all the other peoples running around.
  • I'm soo excited for the ending of this series. I've listened to this one countless times already.
  • @Lukas-dg4gj
    What a watch. I'm glad you went into such depth explaining the fourth crusade. It was a tragedy, one of the worst the world has seen. Makes you ponder what could have been. Thanks as always for the entertaining and informative videos that you provide.
  • After watching your detailed documentary, I finally understand the reference "Byzantine Justice."
