    Historia Civilis is great, he has covered plenty of Roman history, but he's also currently doing a series about post-Napoleonic Europe and has done a number of really great one-off non-rome episodes

    One of my favorites: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo

      You won't believe what has just occurred.

      I read through your list and saved the ones I found interesting. I didn't save Al Muqaddimah because I am not particularly interested by the abrahamic religions. However, I was listening to the Vijayanagara episode of fallen civilizations while I smoked and it mentioned the Mughal empire so I looked up the history of the Mughal empire and clicked on a 2hr video by Al Muqaddimah about the Mughals because I figured someone with that name would know better than any of these other 15min bland looking animated history videos. I checked out his channel and noticed he did quite a lot of history videos so I came back to this post to tell you about this guy I found. Only to find him at the top of your list 😭

      Maybe this isn't that crazy and I'm just high but I found it funny at least lol.

    Fall Of Civilisations one of my favs because it goes into everyday life for people in these societies and he paints a really good picture.

    the videos are just supplementary but would highly highly rate

    Primitive Technology

    John Plant goes over how our ancestors from around the world made things by re-creating those same processes on YouTube. Right now, he's building a hut with a tiled roof and trying different furnace methods for smelting iron. You'll want to look in video descriptions and pinned comments for a full breakdown on the science + history of each video. Also be sure to turn on captions, since he doesn't talk.
