      If you like video essays and video games, I can suggest The Tarnished Archeologist. He does deep lore dives into FromSoft games (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc.) using real world archeological techniques and insights, and draws parallels with real world civilizations.

      Even if you aren’t into FromSoft games, his videos are worth it for the real world archeological parallels alone.

      Hot damn. I think you got all of mine plus tons more. Only one I watch you might like is Oversimplified: animated comedic history.

      Head’s up, The Escapist is essentially dead since they fired their editor-in-chief (Nick Calandra) and all of the talent (Yahtzee, Frost, JM8, Jack, etc.) quit to start a new employee-owned company with him called Second Wind
