Ill actually answer questions

Hi everyone,

My name is Paul Cooper, and I’m the writer and host of the Fall of Civilizations podcast. Over the last three years, I’ve been looking at what happened when societies of the past collapsed, both in my audio podcast, and with a video version of the show on YouTube. The response has been incredibly kind, and our most popular video has been viewed more than 30 million times. Now I’m releasing the podcast in book form, and I’m really excited to share it with everyone.

Some info on the book below:

FALL OF CIVILIZATIONS: STORIES OF GREATNESS AND DECLINE

“Based on the highly acclaimed podcast with over 1 million subscribers, Fall of Civilizations brilliantly explores how a range of ancient societies rose to power and sophistication, and how they tipped over into collapse.

Across the centuries, we journey from the great empires of Mesopotamia to those of Khmer and Vijayanagara in Asia and Songhai in West Africa; from Byzantium to the Maya, Inca and Aztec empires of the Americas; from Roman Britain to Rapa Nui. With meticulous research, breathtaking insight and dazzling, empathic storytelling, historian and novelist Paul Cooper evokes the majesty and jeopardy of these civilizations, and asks what it might have felt like for a person alive at the time as they witnessed the end of their world.”
