The entire history of empires, nations and the people who lived in them, told in stick figures.

How did an empire that was "neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire" last a thousand years? How did a tiny kingdom build the first global empire? Stick Centuries takes the biggest stories in history and tells them from start to finish, with simple animation, a bit of humor, and real research.

Every episode is built from real sources: encyclopedias, historians' books and articles, and original documents from the time. Sources are listed in each video's description, and when historians disagree, we tell you.
