Obadiah

Editor & Author

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. He reads it carefully, fixes mistakes, checks the facts against the sources, and rewrites whatever feels off. Nothing publishes until he is satisfied that the history is right and the writing earns its place.
