This was back when the History Channel was really good wasn't it? Now it's only Ancient Aliens, pure conjuncture, and reality television when History International turning into H2 and then fading into ID and endless murders.

And now we have History Vault, which isn't polished at all, renames and re-bundles things, and is only slightly better than the current History Channel... except I just watched a documentary about the Dark Ages on History … read the rest.

And now we have History Vault, which isn't polished at all, renames and re-bundles things, and is only slightly better than the current History Channel... except I just watched a documentary about the Dark Ages on History Vault and they did a good job of blaming Byzantium for NOT allowing the Muslims to invade, pillage, and conqure Constantinople without a fight.

Oh how it's fallen.

This isn't the Fallen though, this is actually good. It's epically good.

It's the kind of Good that ranks up their with Land of the Tsars and all the other great documentaries that History used to put out once upon a time when it was a fantastic channel.
