18. Egypt - Fall of the Pharaohs
[AUDIO ONLY, VIDEO COMING SOON]
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.

Rethinking Civilization - Crash Course World History 201
In which John Green returns to teaching World History! This week, we'll be talking about the idea of civilization, some of the traditional hallmarks of so-called civilization, and why some people would choose to live outside the civilization model. It turns out that not everyone who lives outside of what we traditionally think of as a "civilized" social order is necessarily a barbarian! To defuse any tension you may be feeling, I'll just tell you now that the Mongols are back. You'll learn about Zomia, swidden agriculture, and even a little about anarchy!

World History EP7 - Early Civilizations and Urban Societies - Ancient Mesopotamia
Ancient Mesopotamia, often hailed as the cradle of civilization, encapsulates the dawn of urban societies and the birth of complex civilizations. Flourishing between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers around 3500 BCE, Mesopotamia's cities like Ur, Uruk, and Babylon epitomized the essence of early urbanization.
At the core of Mesopotamian society were bustling urban centers characterized by monumental ziggurats, sophisticated irrigation systems, and vibrant marketplaces. These cities served as epicenters of commerce, culture, and governance, attracting merchants, artisans, and rulers alike.
A defining feature of Mesopotamian civilization was its invention of writing. The Sumerians devised cuneiform script around 3200 BCE, revolutionizing communication, administration, and literary expression...

2. The Bronze Age Collapse - Mediterranean Apocalypse
SUPPORT THE SHOW AND WATCH AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/fallofcivilizations_podcast
Sometime around the year 1100 BC, right at the end of the Bronze Age, a wave of destruction washed over the Eastern Mediterranean. It wiped whole civilizations off the map, and left only ash and ruin in its wake.
This catastrophe, known as “the Late Bronze Age Collapse”, has become one of the enduring puzzles of archaeology. I want to explore how so many societies could collapse all at once, and seemingly without warning, as well as examine the lessons it might teach us in our increasingly globalised and interconnected world.

A city in ruins. A dynasty in tatters. An empire in ashes...
This episode, we look at the remarkable story of the first empire of ancient China, the Han dynasty. With ancient Chinese poetry, songs and folk music, we look back at the first empire's rise, its remarkable technological advances, and its first, tentative attempts to make contact with the empires of the west. Finally, we look at all the reasons behind the first age of Imperial China's final, dramatic fall.

In which John Green returns to teaching World History! This week, we'll be talking about the idea of civilization, some of the traditional hallmarks of so-called civilization, and why some people would choose to live outside the civilization model. It turns out that not everyone who lives outside of what we traditionally think of as a "civilized" social order is necessarily a barbarian! To defuse any tension you may be feeling, I'll just tell you now that the Mongols are back. You'll learn about Zomia, swidden agriculture, and even a little about anarchy!

Ancient Mesopotamia, often hailed as the cradle of civilization, encapsulates the dawn of urban societies and the birth of complex civilizations. Flourishing between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers around 3500 BCE, Mesopotamia's cities like Ur, Uruk, and Babylon epitomized the essence of early urbanization.
At the core of Mesopotamian society were bustling urban centers characterized by monumental ziggurats, sophisticated irrigation systems, and vibrant marketplaces. These cities served as epicenters of commerce, culture, and governance, attracting merchants, artisans, and rulers alike.
A defining feature of Mesopotamian civilization was its invention of writing. The Sumerians devised cuneiform script around 3200 BCE, revolutionizing communication, administration, and literary expression. This early form of writing facilitated the recording of laws, trade transactions, and epic tales, leaving an indelible mark on human history.
Mesopotamian society was structured hierarchically, with kings wielding political power, priests exerting religious influence, and farmers sustaining the agrarian economy. Religion permeated every aspect of life, with temples serving as centers of worship and economic administration.

Sometime around the year 1100 BC, right at the end of the Bronze Age, a wave of destruction washed over the Eastern Mediterranean. It wiped whole civilizations off the map, and left only ash and ruin in its wake.
This catastrophe, known as “the Late Bronze Age Collapse”, has become one of the enduring puzzles of archaeology. I want to explore how so many societies could collapse all at once, and seemingly without warning, as well as examine the lessons it might teach us in our increasingly globalised and interconnected world.
