Ancient History Videos/Podcasts

With the advent of AI slop videos the ancient history space has been hit especially hard with generated conspiracy videos making it difficult to find informative and well sourced information. This section is intended to provide a human curated list of informative podcasts and video documentaries on topics relating to ancient history. This list is in its infancy and I will add more as I have time. Feel free to suggest a documentary or history creator you feel belongs here.

History With Cy

Cy does both short (~15min) videos and long-form documentary videos covering the ancient world. He has dynasty by dynasty coverage of ancient Egypt, lots of coverage of the Persian Empire, lots of coverage of ancient Greece, and a few great videos on the Indus Valley. I’m not sure what Cy’s formal education is but he clearly does detailed work. He lists the sources he relies on under each video. His video animation is a bit rudimentary but it gets the job done.

He also has some podcasts.
