you insist calling the Nabataeans Barbarians despite that they were great builders.
amazing story.
Thank you Paul, I listen to you every single night and have done for some time. Great show, we must be due for another...pretty please.
It is extremely difficult to find a history podcast that matches these three preferences of mine: 1.) Single narrator format that paints a clear picture of the historical timeline, rather than a lazy Q&A with some academic guest of the week that bounces around the timeline 2.) High quality sound design and gorgeous musical accompaniment 3.) Willingness to explore obscure hidden gems in history, especially those civilizations so often underrepresented from the East Paul Cooper, your podcast is the best I have ever found. Thank you for each lovingly crafted episode!
