Love your work! I've been trying to apply the history of the Fall of Rome and medieval warlording to how a fictional post-apocalyptic Europe would form, and how modern ruins and texts could play the same role as Roman ruins and texts. No nuclear bombs, however!

I would like to recommend/request a separate series for Ancient China. I think it's the only major ancient civilization you haven't started yet.

It's very hard to find good info of Ancient China online (in English), except Wikipedia. But the wiki articles on China and Mongolian Empire are often a lot smaller than, say, the Roman Empire. They just don't get as much attention in the western world. I think both of them deserve separate treatment and shouldn't be mixed together in a middle ages series.

The Mongols were "just nomads" with no permanent settlements, yet somehow arose almost overnight to dominate Asia. So I think it would be a mistake to only cover it in a middle ages series. They're more unique than that, and are totally unrelated to what we normally think of as traditional medieval era of Europe. And China of course is totally unique from Europe and was a major civilization for much longer than Rome.

So yes, I'm recommending two new series lol, China and Mongolia. Well, like you need more work! Though I hope you can at least start the series' with a few videos, kinda like you've done for Egypt and Mesopotamia.

1)where do these monarchs of europe came from?
2)how do you become a noble back then?
