Fall of Civilizations

Paul Cooper — journalist and writer; narrates long-form deep dives into collapsed civilisations

Paul Cooper's slow, atmospheric series on the collapse of historical civilisations. Episodes are infrequent — typically two or three a year — but each is a small documentary, with military causes (invasion, attrition, defeat) usually central rather than peripheral. The Assyrians, the Bronze Age Collapse, and Bagan are good entry points.
