I love this format of 20 min videos about lesser known civilisations.
Some of the best content YT has to offer atm.

Pre-Islamic Arab culture is not something that is discussed very often, thank you for this contribution. The Kingdom of Kinda, The Qedarites, The Ghassanids, The Lakhmids, & The Palmyrene Empire would all make great additions to your catalog.

Kudos for the good work, & keep it up! Cheers!!!

"And that is a legacy more fragrant than all the incense in the world".

What a beautiful quote to end the video!

[Alex_FRD]

"The Nabateans will always be an example on how to forge beauty in the harshest of terrains, and how to prosper and flourish autonomously in a land of empires. And that is a legacy more fragrant than all the incense in the world."
Damn, that's deep.

Check out "fall of civilizations " episode on the Nabatenans. Its fascinating.

"Spice must always flow" haha, a good reference to the Dune universe where the Fremen are based on these people.

It's always good to have more knowledge, learn about forgotten kingdoms in history with Kings and Generals, taking advantage of the theme about desert kingdoms, we hope for a video about the kingdom of Sheba or Axum.

[vitorpereira]

You should make an episode about the kingdoms of the Suebi and the Visigoths.

Nabatea was and will still be one of the greatest arab kingdoms of the pre-Islamic era, the people themselves are believed to be extinct but their legacy is still apparent in the pink city (Petra)
as an arab and a Jordanian, watching you spreading the history of our old ancestors gives me chills, Arab kingdoms are underrated and unfortunately not well known so thank you for your effort

[BrandonStewartCS]

Thanks for these vids man, been watching for a few years and they've always been solid

[nemos]

Literally yeasterday i tryed to find something about the Nabateans and Kings and Generals just drop a vid day later👏

[Rome.s_Greatest_Enemy]

Ok hear me out ... I love your channel and almost every topic ... but please don't private the 2nd Punic War ... that's history gold

[daveharrison]

So, when Greeks went to war with Nabateans for the bitumen trade, was that history's first war for crude oil?

[Ryzexus]

Thanks kings and generals for this new knowledge god bless yall

[m.v.r.]

Love these vids! They fit perfectly in with the research we are doing for a board game design. Some suggestions on civs I'd love to learn more about: Carthage, Nubia, Vandals, Frisians, Iberians.

Also, the Nabatean king Aretas IV (spelling)defeated Herod Antipas in a battle. Josephus mentioned the belief that Herod lost the battle due to his execution of John the Baptist.

Great vid K&G, obviously a different style but tough to top Fall of Civilizations masterpiece on the subject :)

[abcdef]

Just love the way the camels move on the start of the video.

Suggestion: A video about the Sultanate of Bahmani, one of the most underrated medieval kingdoms of India, almost always remembered as "those guys who fought against the Vijayanagara Empire", and also the first Indian realm to use gunpowder.

[joshlesure]

Really enjoyed learning about this civilization, and the city of Petra too. Another excellent example of why I remain subscribed!

Thank you for the video to show the ancient Arab civilization.. The world only sees that the Arabs have a civilization after Islam, not before it.. But there are many ancient Arab kingdoms and civilizations.
