    Default Fall of Great Empires Week on the History International Channel

    I know it's kind of late because it began on Monday but I was just wondering if any other TWC members are watching it. So far they had the fall of the Egyptian Empire, Persian Empire, Carthage, and today it's the fall of Rome. So far so good but I noticed that they failed to mention a few important facts like for example, the Persians came back later on during the Roman Empire but fell again but that's understandable because it's only one hour programs. I'm surprised that they didn't have a program on the fall of Alexander's empire after his death. I mean he did have one of the greatest empires ever seen and I find it interesting how it fell due to several reasons like the fact that he didn't name one person in particular to succeed him and that his generals and so forth fought each other instead of working out a way to maintain the great empire that their former king had built in such a short time. That probably would have been the most interesting program for me.

    I'm not sure if it's only in the States. I have a History Channel and a History International Channel. Of course, I had to pay Direct TV for it.

    i watch all cept the carthago one. I dont like it. The Barbarian invasion ones were a hell of a lot better. The german's dont go well and neither does the English accent. They should of gotten the guy who did the Hannibal special with the thick america accent to do it. THey could of made the shows the 2 hour specials as well as it would have been great to see them with better camera work and specialists. I like the roma specialist with the glasses and english accent who did the barbarian special. All this talkin about the Barbarians is making me remeber the ending theme song from a Constantine special on the history international channel doing a profile show on the man. Ok enough rambaling but damn does anybody know the song im talkin about? Or even the stuff i mentioned here?
