In the cemetery of a church in Barbados I stumbled up this tombstone : Here lyeth ye body of
Ferdinando Paleologus
Descended from ye imperial lyne
Of ye last Christian
Emperors of Greece
Churchwarden of this Parish
1655-1656
Vestryman, Twentye years
Died Oct. 3 1678
A direct descendant of the last Imperial family found his way to the new world,I was amazed.

Mr Cooper, in advance of my comment, I'd like to give you my thanks for making this 2 part series. As a Greek, I deeply appreciate it. Came late to the documentary, but in case anyone wonders why Greeks claim the Byzantine Empire:

It's because we indeed made it. The Byzantine Empire was Roman only in name. The administration and law were Roman. And based on that, we identified ourselves as "Romans" (Ρωμαίοι). But it was a political, not an ethnic identity.

Because the inhabitants of the Empire were anything but Roman. They spoke Greek in their entirety, in everyday life, and was thr official language. They developed a different dogma of Christianity than Western Rome did, if we are to say that Western Rome did stop being pagan. The Byzantine Greeks developed an entirely different architecture. A completely different culture. They preserved mostly ancient Greek literature, making sense as the East was always Hellenic-dominated.

The Byzantine Empire however was both Greek and Roman. Roman because it retained the name, the political entity. But it was also Greek because it retained Hellenic culture, and was made up by the Greeks in essentia.

Plus: on a funny note, the choice of Byzantium, a Greek city founded in 660 BC, as the new capital, is also the embodiment of Horace's quote: "Captive Greece captured its rude conqueror".

This channel is actually the most wonderful thing I have ever found on youtube. I am not a wealthy person; all I have to offer is my sincere thanks for this wonderful and heartbreakingly melancholy series. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the hundred billion screaming ghosts trying to tell the present their story.

@CJBroonie

Wow, that’s so well said.

Online is the only place where something so eloquent could be written by someone rocking a banana suit in their profile 😂

When a podcast about the fall of Byzantine Empire begins with water from Atlantic pouring through Gibraltar into Mediterranean basin... you know its gonna be fun

@peterconway6584

This is only the second FoC I've watched. The other was the fall of the Han Dynasty, and it begins with India breaking off from Gondwanaland. I appreciate the implicit recognition of how geography affects human history.
I also like how he gets to a certain person or thing, and suddenly it's like, Let's back up and talk about this.

@stardresser1

If you do not have at least a small understanding of the ancient world, the fall of Rome, and the Byzantine empire, you have little chance of making sense of the modern geo political world...this is riveting, incredibly well done, and should be in middle and high schools everywhere! Absolutely amazing.

@COXLLOYD

Absolutely !
