Hi Joe, not sure if you actually read these comments, but on the off chance that you do, I’d love to hear more about Armenian paganism and folk traditions. I’m currently researching Armenia’s history and culture for a creative project. I’d like to be respectful with my representation, but it’s very hard to find English language sources on Armenia that aren’t locked behind a paywall, and I happen to be very poor 😅
I definitely like the bonus series that are more historically focused (as compared to say, Sharpes or Rome) and your personal connection to this particular bonus series definitely adds to it. Keep it up. While I'm certainly here for the Dick sucking union jokes it's also great that you have a more serious series to compliment things especially given how untold Armenian history is in many parts of the world.
Keep going, Joe! I’ve been enjoying the series.
thank you!
There's a non-zero chance if not ever so slight that somebody on that wretched Island is the descendant of that deposed Armenian King
