Great
This is a great way to know some very important history. Although at first you might think its boring, but after the first one, it becomes an addiction!
Very Basic
This may be unavoidable for a course covering such a huge period of time, but these lectures seem pretty simplistic (Thomason says Ignatius Loyola argued for absolute loyalty to the church, "If the church said white was black, then white was black." - This makes Loyola sound, well, stupid, which he was not.). These seems insulting, but the course seems best suited to high school students (maybe that was the purpose).
There are much better sources out there
I am sure this person is a great person telling this story. BUT
Persia is in present day Turkey? (it is in Iran)
The temple mound? (it is the temple mount)
If you are going to invest your time into learning ancient history, go somewhere else.
Seems like a nice person, but this is bush league.
