From the Yellow River valley's first Neolithic settlements to the skyscrapers of modern Shanghai, China's history is an epic of unbroken civilization, imperial ambition, revolution, and global resurgence. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through five millennia of dynastic cycles: the Shang's oracle bones, the Warring States' philosophical ferment, Qin Shi Huang's terracotta legions, and the Han dynasty's Silk Road opening. They explore Tang cosmopolitanism, Song economic revolution, Mongol conquest under Kublai Khan, and Ming maritime expeditions of Zheng He. The Qing's Manchu rule, the Opium Wars' humiliation, the Taiping Rebellion's devastation, and the 1911 Revolution's fall of the last emperor lead into the fractured Republic, the Long March, Mao's socialist transformation, the Great Leap Forward's famine, and the Cultural Revolution's chaos. The series concludes with Deng Xiaoping's market reforms, Tiananmen, and China's rise as a manufacturing superpower, questioning its future as a global hegemon. Along the way, Lucas and Luna debate how Confucianism shaped governance, why the Great Wall failed repeatedly, and whether China's 'one history' narrative obscures regional diversity. This is not a simple timeline—it's a conversation about resilience, power, and the stories we tell about the Middle Kingdom.

From the cloud-wreathed peaks of the Andes to the arid coastal plains, Peru's history is a tapestry of ancient civilizations, imperial ambition, and resilient nation-building. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the rise of the Inca Empire—from its mythical origins in the Valley of Cusco under Pachacuti to the vast network of roads, terraces, and storehouses that sustained Tawantinsuyu. They explore the intricacies of Inca governance, the worship of Inti, the sun god, and the mummified remains of emperors that held political power beyond death. The show then pivots to the Spanish conquest: the betrayal at Cajamarca, the capture of Atahualpa, and the tragic fall of a civilization. But this is not a story that ends with the colonial era. Over centuries, indigenous traditions fused with European and African influences to shape modern Peru. Lucas and Luna dissect the wars of independence, the figure of Simón Bolívar, the devastating War of the Pacific, and the complex legacy of the Shining Path uprising. They examine how the discovery of Machu Picchu rekindled national pride, the ongoing struggle over land rights and Quechua language preservation, and the tensions between neoliberal growth and indigenous autonomy. This is a history of resilience, syncretism, and the enduring power of a land where the past is never truly buried. Why does the ghost of the Inca still haunt Lima's corridors of power?#IncaEmpire #MachuPicchu #PeruHistory #Pachacuti #Tawantinsuyu #SpanishConquest #Atahualpa #FranciscoPizarro #ViceroyaltyOfPeru #WarOfThePacific #ShiningPath #Quechua #SimNBolVar #AndeanCivilization #ColonialLatinAmerica #RiseAndFall #History #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

At its height, the British Empire was the largest in history. This short volume traces its development through the long 18th century, from 1714 to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Founded on the prosperity of Sir Robert Walpole's ministry (1721-1742), the Empire emerged from the Indian conquests of that gifted military amateur, Lord Clive, and was extended under the leadership of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, who drove the English to victory in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Surmounting the loss of the American colonies and twenty years of conflict with France, by the first quarter of the 19th century, the British navy, master of the oceans, presided over an Empire upon which the sun never set.

Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles.
For nine long years, the armies of Greece have besieged the walls of Troy. But when a bitter quarrel erupts between King Agamemnon and Achilles, the greatest of all warriors, rage threatens to destroy the Greeks from within. As Achilles withdraws from battle, the tide of war turns – and gods and mortals alike are drawn into a conflict where honor demands blood, and glory comes at a terrible price.
Homer's Iliad stands at the very beginning of Western literature: a monumental epic of war, pride, grief, and the fleeting nature of human life. From the duel of Paris and Menelaus to the death of Hector before the gates of Troy, its scenes have echoed through three millennia – and lost none of their power.
This audiobook presents Samuel Butler's celebrated prose translation, prized for its clarity and directness, which renders the ancient epic vivid and accessible to the modern listener.
A timeless story of anger and reconciliation, fate and free will – and of what it truly costs to be remembered forever. -

The Iliad, together with the Odyssey, is one of two ancient Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer. The poem is commonly dated to the 8th or 7th century BC, and many scholars believe it is the oldest extant work of literature in the Greek language, making it the first work of European literature. The existence of a single author for the poems is disputed as the poems themselves show evidence of a long oral tradition and hence, multiple authors. The poem concerns events during the tenth and final year in the siege of the city of Iliun, or Troy, by the Greeks. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Karen Merline.)

"Atlantis: The Antediluvian World is a book published during 1882 by Minnesota populist politician Ignatius L. Donnelly, who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during 1831. Donnelly considered Plato's account of Atlantis as largely factual and attempted to establish that all known ancient civilizations were descended from this supposed lost land. Many of its theories are the source of many modern-day concepts we have about Atlantis, like the civilization and technology beyond its time, the origins of all present races and civilizations, a civil war between good and evil, etc." (Summary by Wikipedia)

Homer’s Iliad is the first great work of Western literature. Composed in twenty-four books of Greek hexameter poetry, it portrays the events of the last year of the Trojan War. Its translation into rhyming couplets by Alexander Pope is considered by some the greatest act of translation in English. Its power sweeps the reader along through an epic tale that begins with the wrath of Achilles and ends with the burial of Hector, breaker of horses. (Introduction by Steve Perkins)

In doing so it offers a rare glimpse into the military art as practiced by the Imperial Russian army, and an unfiltered evaluation of it to German Imperial sensibilities.
