Скачать или смотреть 3 Collapsed Cities That Changed History | Pompeii, Baghdad, Tenochtitlán Explained

Welcome to Blindfold.
In this episode, we dive into three cities whose catastrophic collapse changed the course of history:

Pompeii – a Roman resort town erased in a day by the eruption of Vesuvius, yet preserved like a time capsule.

Baghdad – the “city of knowledge” where libraries and learning were wiped out in a single conquest.

Tenochtitlán – the Aztec capital whose fall was driven not only by weapons, but by disease, alliances, and politics.

We’ll walk through each city in the same order:
conclusion → background → detailed story → side notes and lessons.

No prior knowledge is needed.
You can just listen in the background and still follow the story.
