    Description

    In this video podcast, we'll take a look at one of the most overlooked peoples of ancient history, the Medes, and reconstruct their early history using Assyrian, Babylonian and Greek sources, namely Herodotus (the Medes don't have any primary sources of their own).  It was the Medes and the Median Empire that laid the foundation upon which the Achaemenid Persian Empire of Cyrus the Great and his descendants rested upon.Sources and Suggested Reading ► https://bit.ly/3ehWgovFollow History with Cy:YouTube ChannelInstagram Facebook Twitter Website Support the show
