Bio

Obadiah is a history enthusiast. After reading a lot about the rise and fall of empires, he felt inspired to share his learnings with the world as a way to keep learning, and to digest those learnings alongside other history enthusiasts. EmpiresDiary is that project. The series cover Rome, Byzantium, the Ottomans, and the Mongols. Each episode begins as an AI draft and is reviewed before publication. Accuracy is treated as an ongoing effort rather than a finished guarantee: sourcing and facts are reviewed continually, reader-reported errors are taken seriously and corrected, and the aim is for the history to get more accurate over time.
