3 Incredible Forgotten Ancient Kingdoms
Lost cities, the origins of Queen Nefertiti, and the tragic fate of the richest ancient king after Midas -- we're covering a lot of ground with these 3 forgotten ancient kingdoms.
In this video:
The Lydian Empire and the famous King Croesus ... King Croesus' meeting with the Greek lawmaker/philosopher Solon ... Cyrus the Great ... The Mitanni and their innovations in chariots ... the lost city of Washukanni ... little-known Tuwana (Tyana) and its outsized role during the Iron Age as a cultural conduit ... some amazing archaeological finds ... and much more.
Thanks for watching!
