The Middle Kingdoms of India picks up where Ancient India left off, and goes through the period following the Mauryan Empire, through the Gupta Empire, and the Delhi Sultanate. The last part is about the Southeast Asian empires and India's influence. It is meant to be an overview.

It begins with the Kushan Empire and the spread of Buddhism. It goes through the rulers of the Gupta Empire and its fall. The Muslim invasions would begin in the early Medieval, culminating in the Delhi Sultanate. The cultural part of the video goes into the mixing of the Indian and Islamic culture, and the daily life, art, and architecture of the Middle Kingdoms period. The video ends with an overview of the major Southeast Asian empires, like the Khmer, Pagan, Ayutthaya, and Srivijaya, along with some of their art and architecture as well.

The Medieval World Series:
   • Phase 2: The Medieval World | World H...  

Welcome to The Medieval World series! This series is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, this series is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. The series will be divided into 8 videos about the Medieval Period, which we call Phase 2. Once these 8 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 3, but this project will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 8 parts.
