From Biblical-era coup conspiracies to the horrific aftermath of ancient combat this second installment of the series on the Kings of Achaemenid Persia goes where only Dan can take it. For better or worse…
What you're about to hear is part two of a multi part series on the achaemenid persian empire and especially its dealings with the Greeks.
I suggest getting part one and listening to that first before you dive into this.

You do anything you want.
I would like to point out that this is the Dan Carlin version of this story, which is always what you get with me, which may or may not correspond to the traditional way these things are told.

Nonetheless, without further ado and with proper warnings in place, this is kings of kings, part 2.

Mister Gorbachev, the drama tear down this world.
Gate six, the Manhattan urgent marine six hour two has had a major explosion and what appears to be a complete collapse surrounding the entire area.
I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not they're presidents of crook.
Well, I'm not a crook.
If we dig deep in our history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
It's hardcore history.
How many people out of 100 that you could name, either people that you knew or people that you've heard of or read about.
