I love the commercial of the Viking coming up the subway escalator. I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Reminder bump...

Tonight -

"Vikings"
Vikings become agents of social and political change.

&

"Goths"
Goths maintain Roman art and culture as the Empire fades away.

Tomorrow -

"Mongols"
Mongols swarm out of the east, overwhelming the Ottoman Empire.

&

"Huns"
Huns fall upon Europe like the vengeance of God.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Cool. Glad you bumped, ir I'd have missed it.

Nice overview of each (albeit with some information that conflicts with other sources I have heard/read) but I think the days of simple documentaries are nearly over. It's about time we started seeing more in depth coverage of history on History Channel programming (and I don't mean endless footage of WWII). Some of the recent shows (last couple of years) on Egypt have been written far better than these four pieces, IMO.

For those of us who missed one or both the first time, they'll be shown back-to-back this Saturday (1/24) beginning at 8pm eastern.
