This conversation is suitable for all ages.
90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
Loved all the lectures, especially the last two (from India, so pretty obvious), where he compared and contrasted all three empires. I learned so much - even though I have taught this history to students. Definitely recommend.
Tiago’s course is rich an dense, you have to pay attention but it is very rewarding.
A new discovery with each episode. Very stimulating!
Tiago is passionate it is contagious
A very generous lecture about the last great Persian empire!
