I’m looking for good historical documentaries, I want to learn something new. YouTube and Netflix don’t have much. Any good streaming resources to learn about ancient civilizations?

There seem to be a handful on Youtube . I’d also check PBS and Amazon Prime (if you have it).

If you have access to the BBC there tons of documentaries. If you don’t you can find most of them on Youtube. The ones I really got into is the histories of the railways in India. How the Chenai Express is such an important train for crossing India. How the railways help bring people together after partition. How far outpost communities rely on incredibly old, poorly maintained but still maintained with love steam trains and the lines are so lacking that trains often derail while the cheer mass of people lift up these small shunting trains and put them back on the rails again. How the railways are a constant and so highly regarded as always have been. People flock to it for work from runaway children who sell newspapers to live to a young man who travels the trains selling chocolate in the heat and how he put all his savings into buying a coolbox to make the chocolate last longer to bring more money in to feed his wife and two children in a shanty town.

If you have a library card ( they are free) download the hoopla app. Seven “borrows” a month.

It may not be super awesome but it’s free. Movies, books, TV shows, audiobooks... try it, doesn’t cost.

Have you watched Ancient Aliens on the History Channel ? Lots of really solid, non-speculative, evidence based info on there.

Not ancient civ stuff, but I recommend both Full Circle and Pole to Pole. Michael Palin does a great job.
