| So I'm working on the next Heroes of History video and I've noticed something interesting. | |
| Um doing the one about Sargon of a CAD was a lot of fun and a lot easier than probably the next few will be because the sources on Sargon were so vague and so rare, there was so little known. | |
| Um the next person I'm going to do one on is very well covered. | |
| Uh he's an ancient Greek and I'll let you try and guess who it might be. | |
| But he was a very famous warrior and probably the greatest warrior of all time if the stories about him are even vaguely true. | |
| And it's not Alexander the Great. | |
| However what this means is that it's going to be quite comprehensive because I can't bring myself to skip over any of the details so be warned it will be very in-depth but I hope it pays off. | |
| I've been writing for the last four hours now and it I think it's very exciting. | |
| It's turning into sort of a mini e-book or something so it's probably going to be well over an hour long. | |
| But I really think it'll be worth the time. | |
| He's such a fun character to write about that I really think it pays off. | |
| I'm only about halfway through his life at this point, so it may well run into about two hours long. | |
| So this'll be the sort of one that maybe you want to sit down on a Sunday afternoon when you've got nothing better to do, grab a couple of beers, play a game, put this on in the background, and hopefully you'll enjoy it. | |
| Anyway if anyone can guess who I'm talking about then uh please do leave me a comment. | |
| I'm interested to hear who you think it might be. |
