History of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, Part I (550-486 BC; Cyrus the Great - Darius the Great) History with Cy 2021-03-21 | In this first of a two-part series, we'll take a concise look at the history of one of the greatest empires in all of antiquity - the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Founded by Cyrus II and expanded by his successors Cambyses II and Darius I, the Achaemenid dynasty would not just go on to rule most of the known world at the time, but also transmit the ideas and innovations of its many subject peoples to from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus River valley and beyond. We'll start with examining the Achaemenid's rise to power, the world that they lived in, their religion including Zoroastrianism, and the beginning of their encounters with the Greek-speaking peoples of the Aegean and what would eventually lead to the Greco-Persian wars.

History of Ancient Egypt: Dynasty XXI - The Start of the Third Intermediate Period (1069-945 BC) History with Cy 2024-03-27 | The glorious era of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom, when Egypt was the envy of the world, went out with a whimper. What came afterward would be a seemingly tumultuous time in Egyptian history that was characterized by political fragmentation, cultural change, rampant corruption and eventually, foreign domination. Egyptologists call the four centuries of so after the New Kingdom era the Third Intermediate Period. The Third Intermediate Period started with the rise of the 21st Dynasty of Egypt, a time in which both pharaohs and priests ruled the kingdom of the Nile in relative peace. This though was the calm before the storm that would eventually sweep in from the east and change the trajectory of Egyptian history forever.

Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, Greece History with Cy 2024-01-07 | The Agora in Athens, Greece, was the heart of ancient Athenian life, functioning as both a marketplace and a civic center. This vibrant area served as a focal point for a wide range of activities, including trade, politics, social interactions, and cultural events.With its name meaning "marketplace" in Greek, the Athenian Agora was a bustling hub where merchants, politicians, and citizens converged. Key architectural elements included the Stoa of Attalos, a reconstructed building with shops and offices, the well-preserved Doric Temple of Hephaestus, and the Bouleuterion, where the Athenian Council (Boule) convened. Additionally, the Agora featured various public structures, statues, and altars.Playing a pivotal role in the democratic governance of Athens, the Agora provided a space for citizens to engage in discussions, make political decisions, and actively participate in the civic life of the city-state. Today, the Agora stands as an important archaeological site, preserving the historical and cultural heritage of ancient Athens, attracting visitors keen on exploring its rich past.#athens #ancienthistory #ancientgreece
History of Ancient Egypt: Dynasty XX - Sea Peoples, Late Bronze Age Collapse and the End of an Era History with Cy 2023-12-18 | In this program we'll take a close look at the period spanning the 20th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, which may have arguably been one of the most trying times in the country's history. After years of internal turmoil, Egypt faced a massive foreign invasion by a mysterious group of marauders and migrants who modern scholars have collectively called the Sea Peoples. Not only did they threaten Egypt's vast empire in Canaan and the Levant, but possibly even the existence of the ancient Egyptian civilization itself. The aftermath of this great confrontation resulted in the gradual decline of Egypt's fortunes as a whole as well as the decay of perhaps its last great dynasty. With harem conspiracies, corruption and the famous royal tomb robberies and trials, the events and intrigues of 20th Dynasty Egypt could make for a great HBO series like Game of Thrones. So prepare the popcorn and get comfortable as you won't want to miss this episode of Ancient Egypt, Dynasty by Dynasty.

Introduction to the Seriously Underrated Indus Valley / Harappan Civilization History with Cy 2023-05-26 | In this program we'll take a solid look at the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) of northwestern South Asia, also known as the Harappan Civilization. While it is clear that the people of this civilization were experts in urban planning, sanitation and drainage systems as well as some of the greatest traders of the ancient Bronze Age world, they are also among its most mysterious. This is in part due to their writing system still not being understood as well as the puzzle of their seemingly sudden disappearance from history.

It's here that the four Achaemenid king Darius I (a.k.a. Darius the Great), Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I and Darius II were laid to rest. The site was so special that several Sasanian kings added their own reliefs and inscriptions there, including on the mysterious building known as Ka'bah-e Zardusht. For these and other reasons, Naqsh-e Rustam is one of the most important and interesting archaeological sites with regard to Iran's ancient past.

Did the Babylonian Marriage Market as described by Herodotus really Exist? Daily Life in Mesopotamia History with Cy 2023-02-12 | One of the most memorable passages from the traveler and historian Herodotus’ monumental work, Histories, is when he describes how a Babylonian marriage market worked. But was this rather strange (he would say "wise" and "best") practice actually a thing in ancient Mesopotamia? Let's take a look at the institution as well as marriage laws in ancient Mesopotamia.
