War between the Brothers
Echoes of History
10/08/23 • 17 min
Muslims spilled a lot of ink pondering what good government should look like, what a wise ruler should be like, and why it mattered for society. And this is the type of political intrigue that makes Baghdad, the city of Peace, into a place of civil war. The War of the Two Brothers starts on the Night of the Three Caliphs, where the succession of the throne is shaped by the death of one caliph, the ascension of another, and the birth of a third... it’s a turning point... will Baghdad survive it?

The Pirate Admiral: Kanhoji Angre
Echoes of History
02/12/24 • 18 min
The new season of "Echoes of History" features Ubisoft's new game: "Skull and Bones.
Is it possible to be a military man and outlaw at the same time? Well, it's all a matter of perspective. A strategic prodigy of the Maratha Empire in India, Kanhoji Angria was appointed admiral before he turned 30. Unbeatable at sea, he attacked the ships of East India Companies, which enriched Europe at the expense of local populations. Although he was an admiral, on the Old Continent, the name Kanhoji Angria is synonymous with pirate. The greatest Indian pirate in history to challenge former European colonial powers...

Fortunately, men and gods can count on Odin and his powerful son Thor to repel the attacks. And when the god of thunder brandishes his hammer Mjölnir, it's usually the start of a great adventure.

Paul Revere
Echoes of History
08/08/22 • 16 min
His name has inspired poems, novels, songs... Paul Revere remains forever attached to his greatest accomplishment : his "Midnight Ride" on April 18th-19th 1775. A long night of horse riding from Boston to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British Army movements. A night that would change the course of the war and of the soon-to-be United States of America. But what history has forgotten is that Paul Revere was more than just a rider. He was a very active member of the Sons of Liberty and worked in the shadows to help the Revolution.

The Buzzard: Serial Looter
Echoes of History
01/29/24 • 20 min
The new season of "Echoes of History" features Ubisoft's new game: "Skull and Bones".
Among pirates, a nickname creates the legend. A fearless sea bandit and outstanding fighter, Olivier Levasseur was called La Buse by his peers. The former French privateer had the reputation of swooping down on his prey through violent lightning raids. In reality, it was his carefully planned attacks that helped him seize the greatest treasure ever stolen by a pirate...

The Great Mosque
Echoes of History
09/17/23 • 17 min
The Great Mosque was positioned in the center of Baghdad, with numerous smaller mosques dotted around the various neighborhoods. A place of daily prayer, a community center, a place to feed the poor and hungry. The mosque was for everyone from the powerful to the ordinary...
You hear the call to prayer as it reverberates throughout the city. It comes in from the distance as the main mosque starts the call, then neighborhood by neighborhood the call is picked up. It’s part of the soundscape of the city—cutting through the din and noise, drawing you in to join as one religious body to pray.

Hammam
Echoes of History
09/24/23 • 12 min
With their elaborate domed ceilings and ornate mosaics, these public steam baths were adopted by Muslims from the Greco-Roman world. Stemming from a time when not everyone had access to running water, hammams were accessible to all regardless of class or wealth. A place of cleansing, religion, healing and community.

The Marooned Captain: Edward England
Echoes of History
02/26/24 • 17 min
The new season of "Echoes of History" features Ubisoft's new game: "Skull and Bones".
Who said all pirates were cruel and bloodthirsty? Definitely not Edward England. For this buccaneer who had been in the English Navy, piracy was a dream of freedom and wealth. Nothing obliged him to torture, kill, or decapitate opposing crews. An unconventional stance that didn't win England many friends. Within his own crew, the captain soon discovered that violence was part of pirate life... Whether he liked it or not.
