Comments by "Tomas Vrabec" (@tomasvrabec1845) on "What Was Life Like in the World's Oldest Empire?" video.
I have to say, you will rise fast In popularity. Not only due to the quality of your work but also the topic. Your topics cover eras and empires which are usually skipped by most. Eg. Rome, then jump to HRE.. You covered the in-between which adds much needed socio-economic context and development. Moments of history that show " it could be all different be it not of this event". Or Akkad. You get Babylon and Sumer but not that much Akkad. So with your topics, combined with the quality, you are filling a rather empty niche on YT

@Empire-Builders From the ones I can think of right now, I would say the Kingdom of Zimbabwe (whilst technically not an empire it was the most major power of the region.) It occurs on YT. I recall some good videos but not many. Perhaps Mauryan Empire in India. Or even the whole Indus Civilisation (Indus valley). Whilst not an empire... It was about as much of an empire as Sumer in a less traditional way. But it differed. (Example Harappan civilisation).

@Empire-Builders Actually I had to come back here and ask if you could potentially review the possibility of covering Poland/ Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. It's... Overlooked. Being from eastern Europe we hear about it but we don't particularly cover it. I live in the west and here it's absolutely shrouded under the carpet. Yet... It was the most democratic country at the time... It had all the marks to become a great nation and a likely great power, if not superpower.... But it did not. If it did any better than it did... Prussia would not rise, Germany would not unify (due to Prussia) and Russia would never even become a kingdom, let alone an empire. It inspired the enlightenment and boosted the french by brain migration. It's about as overlooked as the Meronvingians.
