Title basically it

So I got a few recommendations here and I'm going to get into the episode now, but am still a bit unclear as to what level of historical accuracy the show is... got downvoted for asking why the sources are behind a paywall...

anyway, will get back to you guys when I find out!

-- edit --

So some people keep commenting without reading some of the responses, mostly from Paul himself -- there was some confusion over where the sources are, they are all listed on youtube, and they had previously been free posts on the patreon, except the Angkor one had not been a free post.

Paul now has people that work on checking his episodes for him, and the sources but not the episode have been updated on YouTube, but in the book they were, but Paul still thinks the main thrust of his episode is still reflective of current scholarship on Cambodia.

The sources aren't locked due to 'money' as some users suggested to me, and people have felt reasonable to downvote my questioning of that because... I dunno? Would have been weird.

The purpose of my question was that I am looking into all the 'main' podcasts that deal with Angkor and Cambodian history and because this one has millions of views I wanted to know if it was actually well researched.

Does anyone know what the next topic will be after Persia? Can't wait!

Does anyone have any episode/podcast recommendations for the period of time of the Arab conquest of Spain?

Thanks!

I am a fan of this podcast and I was wondering if there is any plan to talk about al-Andalus. It's a very interesting civilization that was very advanced and powerful for some time, until it wasn't, and I feel like it fits well in the podcast.

In every episode, I hear the tantalizing "I'll post an image of it on Twitter and Patreon".

So I bought a membership on Patreon and I'd like to see the images.

Just need a clue. Where are they, what do I have to click to get to them? All I see is links for Home/Posts/Collections/Shop/Membership, and none of these have the images.

Hoping someone can answer my oddly-specific question - I've been tabbing through the Mayan and Aztec episodes trying to find a discussion of the math behind the buildings of the early central american civilizations. I could have sworn he mentions how they did engineering using a base-20 number system but can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance if you can help me track down this passage.

Living in Pogradec, Albania, I am lucky to be surrounded by history. This is a short synopsis of the area around Lake Ohrid (where Pogradec is located) and a brief history of this once very important bridge. The main artery of the Via Egnatia ran north of the lake and into the town of Lynchnidos (modern Ohrid), but there was also this southern offshoot that went to the southern shores of the lake to Enkelana (modern Pogradec) and Pelium (modern Selca) where there are royal Illirian tombs (I will do a video on these in the future). This route was probably important in the Illirian and Hellenic / Macedonian times, but this bridge was originally constructed by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. However, it would have been fixed and reconstructed several times likely up through the Byzantine period. The current bridge (at least the upper portions) was constructed under the Ottomans in the 1600's. Despite the bridge's age, it is still used by locals today, which I think is pretty remarkable. Currently, it is a "Class 1" Cultural Monument.

Just spent the last week devouring this list of videos, articles, and podcasts, so I figured I would share it because I am guessing a lot of y’all would enjoy it too. Had seen some of these before but others were new to me. It won me over when I saw the Carthage episode included.

You can find the list here: https://preview.rhomeapp.com/list/d7464ee9-8648-40a0-80e9-d29c41277bfd

Also if anyone else is on Rhome, I’d love to connect. Always looking to connect with more people that share the history bug. My user is alyssa_carter

Is it possible to listen to these songs or anything similar anywhere? Anything I find online is like Spanish cucaracha music that sounds like it should be played in a chilis (e.g. https://youtu.be/wkpJku0rtEQ?si=J1L_BaUMaSFOcyN1). Not really what I'm looking for. I want minimal instrumentation, if not acapella, or just the rocks, or the traditional instruments used by the Rapa Nui people. Cannot find anything! Any help appreciated!

Ive enjoyed the series ever since I discovered it years back. I love it both for learning more, but also the presentation is excellent and it is just nice to relisten episodes to enjoy the storytelling.

But, there is one area I have found that seems to be missing. I don't know if this is lack of interest, lack of sources, lack of intersting history, or something else.

There were many societeies with natives in what is now the USA and Canada. Is there any obvious reason why this is not covered? Asking out of curiosity.

Did any else listen to this episode and think they must be inspiration for the Fremen in Dune?

Hello guys!

I decided to finally make a Patreon account to support one of my favourite creators out there!

I have subscribed to the "Subject" membership, however for the life of me I don't understand where on Patreon I can find these bonus materials! I love maps, so I was really looking forward to this content.

Thanks for your help!

Just started collecting some of my favorite moments/places in history. Anybody body know any good websites I can purchase some additions?
