b"On the outskirts of modern Istanbul, a line of ancient walls lies crumbling into the earth...\\n\\nIn this episode, we look at one of history\\u2019s most incredible stories of survival - the thousand-year epic of the Byzantine Empire. Find out how this civilization suffered the loss of its Western half, and continued the unbroken legacy of Rome right through the middle ages. Hear about how it formed a bridge between two continents, and two ages, and learn how the impregnable walls of Constantinople were finally brought crashing to the ground. \\n\\nThis episode we're joined by members of the St Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral Choir in London, and a number of musicians playing traditional Byzantine instruments.\\n\\nSupport Fall of Civilizations on Patreon: http://patreon.com/fallofcivilizations_podcast\\n\\nCredits:\\n\\nSound engineering by Thomas Ntinas\\n\\nVoice Actors:\\n\\nNicolas Rixon\\nJoey L\\nAnnie Kelly\\nCleo Madeleine\\n\\nOriginal Compositions and music supervision:\\n\\nPavlos Kapralos \\n\\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzgAonk4-uVhXXjKSF-Nz1A\\n\\nChanters of The St Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral: \\n\\nMichael Georgiou \\nAlexandros Gikas \\nMatthew Tomko\\nStephanos Thomaides \\nPavlos Kapralos\\n\\nTraditional Musicians:\\n\\nMonooka (Monica Lucia Madas), vocals \\nAlexandros Koustas, Lyra (other names: Byzantine Lyra/ Lyra of Istanbul/ Kemence)\\nKonstantinos Glynos, Kanonaki (other names: qanun; in Byzantine Greek: psaleterion)\\nTheofilos Lais, Cretan Lyra \\nDario Papavassiliou, Santouri (other name: Greek Santur)\\nPavlos Kapralos, Oud\\n\\nOther music by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: incompetech.com/\\n\\nTitle theme: Home At Last by John Bartmann. https://johnbartmann.com/"
