We have a ton of stuff about Rome or Feudal Japan or ww2 or Vikings.
What eras and places deserve more attention in your opinion?
My opinion
1
- The Neolithic Period. Indo European expansion deserves a TV show at least
- Pre Christian Slavic history
- Middle Eastern history - Sumerian, Akkadian and Assyrian/Babylonian history deserves much more attention. The Hittites as well
- India is underrepresented to western audience
- medieval and Early Modern Ireland
- Japan before the Sengoku Jidai
- Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates
I have a feeling that everything that isn't Ancient Rome or Greece, Vikings, ww1 on the western front or ww2 on the western front 1944-5 or in the Pacific, is underrepresented among the western audience.
