I bought the book on release and am up to the chapter on Akhenaten. I really appreciate how you don't let the royals and elite off the hook with sobering reminders of how their dazzling achievements came at a huge cost to everyone else in society. Three and half thousand years later and it seems not that much has changed! Great read overall, thank you.

I hope this book appears on BARD audiobooks for the blind. I am excited about it because I recently found and binged all your videos. I never experienced a college lecture more engaging than your videos. You are a natural teacher.

This could have been 4 hours long and I would have listened to it's entirety.

I bought a copy on preorder from Amazon. Though I haven't read a lot of it so far, I'm finding it very interesting and informative. Thanks Guy.

Sir, I am eagerly waiting for the release this winter in the US of your new book. I am currently reading your History of Roman Britain. While reading I had a question: why did Rome choose to invade Britain rather than Germania; the logistics of crossing the Rhine seem more manageable than crossing the Channel, and even though Rome has experience at sea, the Med is whole different character than the North Atlantic. Does it all come down to luck and following Caesar's lead, if he had turned East rather than West would later Emperors have followed up across the Rhine? Second, I am getting back into teaching and I am looking to expand my book collection, I know its not an area of expertise for you but can you recommend in books on the late Neo-lithic/Bronze Age in Northern Europe. I know Francis Pryor has several on this period in Britain, I was wondering if there were any you could recommend that explored Northern Europe (Gaul, Germania, the low Lands, etc). Thank You, really enjoy your books and You Tube channel and cant wait for your next numismatics video.

If the pharaohs went to the trouble they did to justify themselves in self-serving writing the way the did, it makes me very much wonder who exactly were they trying to persuade that they were in fact legitimate? BTW, I too stood in line (for hours) at the British Museum’s 1974 exhibit of King Tut, aged 14. If I had known then what I know now about the Bronze Age, I like to think I too would have become an ancient history academic. (NB I’ve no regrets whatsoever about the path I have chosen!)
