I find the simple but effective animations (with the icons formed by the kings' names/depictions roaming over the maps) to be a clever solution. It helps the listener to make the connections between people and places. I also think it is important to always show the hieroglyphic names of kings with a translation of the meaning (this matter will be complicated in future dynasties, when kings start to have multiple and more complex names). Other nice practices are the references to the artifacts shown, even including the repositories and credits of the authors of the images.Thumbs up!

I appreciate the fact that you're not an AI voice and the simpler graphics. I've seen many documentaries but get lost with all the polished cinematic quality. I've never had a grasp of the order of the peoples. Now I am.

The best Ancient History course on the internet and every bit as good as any book ever written

I'm so glad you put this series together. I need to go start from the beginning and watch them all.

Oh yes I am early this time! Thank you Cy for making my Friday a celebration:):) I love your videos - I was a history major back at the university but no lectures could make history seem this interesting like you do.

[LiorOpler]

Wow! I never thought something could get me into history, I always thought it was this boring thing nobody cared about, but this series is getting me to like history.
Thanks Cy!

This is going to be a great series. Always enjoyed learning about ancient Egypt. Incredible thinking that there was an advanced civilization in Egypt over 4500 years ago! One dynasty down; only 30 more to go. ;)

This is fascinating history. It's hard to find without going to scholarly sources. So thank you, Cy!

Thank you, I really enjoyed this. I'm by no means an expert in any histories, I really love the beginnings of the different civilizations.
