I am but a humble barbarian. I see "Bronze Age", I click and I like.

I'm subbed to a lot of ancient history channels, so I see videos about Rome and Greece and Egypt and Mesopotamia every day, and I love those, they're great, but this channel gives me so much more, things I never hear of on any other channel. Thank you Cy, the world is a smarter place for having you and your videos.

I remember when Cy was just a tiny settlement on the river, but has now grown into a strong and prosperous city state! I think we're entering the period of empire building for the channel, one we will all look back at as the golden age of ancient civilization content on YouTube.

The further back the civilization goes the more interesting even if there’s less known about it

Love it. What a unique civilization!<br><br>Honestly seeing these lesser-known civilizations with totally unique aesthetics refreshs one's day. We are so used to the endless coverage of Rome or "The Last Last Last True Last Roman 3:0 Aetius Bellisarius Majorian no for real" etc that seeing something totally unique and not covered much on YT is a gem.

I know a lot of people holds "videos that I watch while eating" in high regard. Your videos, however, I hold to a even higher importance: the videos I hear while I work. Looking foward to this one!

OK, the next one is Jiroft, please. And may be Helmend, as well. We need to fill up all those blank spots on the Bronze Age map between Mesopotamia and Indus Valley.

A video from Cy on a Monday?<br>And about an obscure culture too?<br><br>This channel is criminally under rated.<br>Thanks for all you do Cy!

My son and I both love your videos on ancient civilizations. Thank you for covering so many of the less well-known civilizations.
