The Histocrat

-DISCLAIMER- I initially made this video as part of a fun hobby project without thinking it would get this much attention. I used a bunch of other peoples artwork and music to do it and as such this video is not monetised in any way. If you are the owner of any of the content in this video please get in touch via my email address included in my channel info. In this special episode, we explore the events of the Late Bronze Age Collapse, when civilisation in the Eastern Mediterranean came to an abrupt and mysterious halt. This episode holds a debt to Professor Eric H. Cline, whose book "1187 BC: The Year Civilisation Collapsed" was one of the main sources for this work. You can buy his book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Bronze+age+collapse His lecture is also on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRcu-ysocX4 Note: The pronunciations in this episode were a complete minefield (that's ancient Assyrian for you), so apologies for any mistakes on my side. The next episode will be more History of Britain.

In this video we explore the unsolved enigma that is the Voynich Manuscript, and its often equally bizarre history.
