About

History, simulated a thousand times.

The idea

History is full of “how did this actually work?” questions. How long could a castle survive a siege? How fast could news cross the Roman Empire? Could Rome survive if the grain ships stopped?

Each episode takes one, builds a simulation from real sources, runs it 1,000 times and animates the result.

How we work

  • Every number comes from the simulation or a cited source.
  • Assumptions are stated on screen.
  • Every episode has a free simulator, so you can test the assumptions yourself.

Schedule

  • New episode every other Sunday.
  • Shorts every Tuesday and Friday.

How it’s made

Animation and simulations are made in code. Narration and sound effects are AI-generated (ElevenLabs).
