18. Egypt - Fall of the Pharaohs
Far in the distance, three colossal shapes tower over the desert horizon…
In this episode, we travel to the Nile Valley, and tell the story of one of the most iconic cultures ever produced by humankind - the civilizations of ancient Egypt. I want to show how this series of related cultures grew up in the floodplains of their great river, and built some of the most enduring and recognizable structures in the world. And I want to tell the story of what happened to bring the age of the Pharaohs finally and cataclysmically to an end.

    There's a pyramidion at the top of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. The original one was aluminum so it wouldn't rust. It's functional through its connection to a cable to carry lightning to the ground.

    As always, the podcast and videos are incredibly well researched and delivered! If I was allowed one quibble, it would just be the expanse of time covered made it feel too rushed to me. I wish Paul had chosen to cover just one "kingdom" and its following "intermediate period", much in the way he chose simply to cover the Han dynasty for China, but not the entire arc of their historical period. I missed the depth of story that seemed possible on this one. Again, a small thing to be sure. It still made my day when the podcast came out, as do all of the episodes!

    As always, another incredible episode of Fall of Civilizations. You never fail to amaze and inspire in the way you tell the stories of empires and peoples now long gone. I have been checking in ever since the podcast episode was released, eagerly awaiting this video version. They are always so well made - better than most other documentaries that I've ever seen. I have told everyone that I know that have some interest in history about Fall of Civilizations. It deserves to be seen by as many as possible. I'll be sure to buy your book as well. Thank you for the job you and your team are doing!

    Westerners always steal discoveries and attribute them to them (a very civilized act!), from Archimedes' theory of Babylonian origin to deciphering ancient writings such as cuneiform and hieroglyphics that were discovered by Ibn Wahshiyya. Coincidentally, the book was translated into European languages ​​shortly before the alleged discovery of Champollion. For your information, the Egyptians did not convert to Christianity because (distorted) Christianity took much of the Egyptian religion, such as the Trinity. Therefore, the Egyptians remained pagans until the Islamic conquest came, and thus they quickly converted to Islam
