Khosrau had an opportunity his father never had: peace. With it, he set about launching a golden age for Iran.

After this weekend, we will be taking a holiday break! Come back for more of Khosrau's story on January 13.

Guys. Go away for a few Weeks and take a Break. We'll still be here. The Sheep have Spoken.

I am so grateful that I am in a position to support such a great cause. As a newcomer to being a patreon supporter, I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every single episode you have put out. I have learned so much that traditional, non-specialized education doesn't even hint at; and being as interested in history as I am, it's great to see what you put out and in the way that it's delivered. Keep up the great work and I wish everyone at Extra Credits and their supporters and followers a joyous holiday season! See you in the new year!

You people have outdone yourselves! This is going to sound super nerdy but.... This video literally took my breath away in certain places ! As a small boy I remember my father telling me stories of the ancient shahs of Iran. My favorite story was of the legendary library/university of Gondi-shāpur,  گندی شاپور and how before it was tragically destroyed, it rivaled the more famous Library of Alexandria. & ever since then, I've been a history buff, & have secretly dreamt somehow seeing that place and time in history. This is why animation is one of my favorite artistic mediums; because, even using the most basic tools, you can (re)create legandary places like this you can't anywhere else! When I saw the palace of Ctesiphon, I literally had to pause and appreciate all of this! Thank you for bringing my history to life! I wish 7 year old me could have seen these vids. Again i really appreciate the attention to details. Like in the last scene when Khosrou is in his throne room, his crown 👑 is even held up by chains! When the 'Lies' video eventually comes out, I want to know all the sources you've been reading; I want to read them all! Endless thanks! & Happy holidays to everyone @ EC ! PS if you ever do that mythology series, can we see some of the shahname?

And thus began the one and only age where boardgamers were not considered hopeless nerds.
