I'm not really into history and never really cared. Big debate on whether I should or shouldn't care but that's for another time. However, I live in Alexandria, Egypt and Im pretty sure you can say that it's in the top 10 most important cities when it comes to world history. Maybe thats bullshit but all I know is it's significant enough and I wanted to learn more about it.
I'd love it if it was in video/documentary format rather than "go read ____" as I said, I find history incredibly boring and a video will help keep my attention. Thank you!
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
