Been doing some filming today for Fall of Civilizations Episode 21! Can you guess? 😬

Just finished recording for Fall of Civilizations Episode 21! Can't wait to get editing on this one.

One of the more confusing appeals I have had to submit...

Some genius-level stuff happening at Spotify right now... sorry to anyone who has tried to access.

Since Christmas is coming up, we're doing another limited run of signed Fall of Civilizations books! I can write a dedication to whoever you like, so it's the perfect gift for a Fall of Civs fan in your life... Hurry as I'm afraid supply is limited! LINK: www.welbooks.co.uk/shop/p/fall-...

⛰️🏔️ Episode 20 is now live! 🏔️⛰️ In this episode, we look at the amazing story of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Find out how the world's largest empire rose, flourished, and finally fell in ash and flame. YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRYd... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6AeH...

With special permission of the Mongolian government we were also able to film drone photography of the holy mountain Burkan Khaldun inside the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area.

For the first time the channel has been able to shoot its own original reenactment footage, shot on location in Mongolia. This would never have been possible without the community supporting us.

With only ten days until paperback release day, you can still pre-order these limited edition signed paperbacks! ** Custom dedications are available if you want me to write someone's name on the signed page! ** LINK: www.welbooks.co.uk/shop/p/fall-...

There's still time to get one of these limited edition signed copies of the Fall of Civilizations paperback, with exclusive page-end designs. We've partnered with the beautiful @WELBooks who do international deliveries and custom dedications also available! Link: www.welbooks.co.uk/shop/p/fall-...

Hope you all had a great holiday! Got some exciting stuff coming in the new year that I'm looking forward to sharing with you all.
