As always what a great video. As an Iranian, I have to admit that I have learned more about Iran's history from your videos than from history books in school. Keep the good work man.❤❤❤

One thing I noticed about Darius the Great is that he seems alot more fundamentalist in his Zorastianism compared to both Cyrus and Cambysess. It's a little thing but could have had huge implications for the Achamenids going forward.

I’ve spent years chasing answers in documentaries, podcasts, even ancient texts—and none of it hit me the way The Obscured Principles book by Dorian Caine did. It’s like it was written for the few who are ready to break the illusion and remember who they really are.

"I did not lie, I did not lie, I'm legitimate, all I did was not a lie and you should punish anyone who says it's a lie because I did not lie"<br><br>Hmm... he doth protest too much

Love from Japan. As a student of history I'm relatively ignorant when it comes to the oldest cradle of civilizations, as your gem in this series saved my day! Keep it up! I'll continue to share your detailed engagement of ancient Asian studies on instagram and with my Bible study friends!

Thank you for yet another exceptional video. I didn't know the Persians had their own version of the Suez Canal that far back in time! Persian / Iranian history is so fascinating; I look forward to your future videos on the topic!<br>God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)

I love how the Persians gathered all the great ancient civilizations in one place.

By the time Darius set foot in Egypt with his great Persian empire, the Pyramids of Giza where already 2000 year's old , so Ancient Egypt was also Ancient in the times of Darius,
