Step into the lost world of the Median Empire — one of the most overlooked yet crucial empires of the ancient Near East. In this full documentary, we explore the powerful journey of the Medes, from scattered tribes in the Iranian plateau to the legendary kings who helped bring down the mighty Assyrian Empire.

Across five richly narrated scenes, you'll uncover the rise of Deioces, the founder of the first Median kingdom; the ambitions and battles of Phraortes; the military genius of Cyaxares, who helped destroy Nineveh; and the dramatic fall of the Medes under Astyages, whose grandson Cyrus the Great would go on to build the Achaemenid Persian Empire.

🔹 Witness the construction of Ecbatana, one of the ancient world’s most beautiful cities
🔹 Learn how the Medes forged one of the first multi-ethnic empires
🔹 Understand their role in toppling Assyria and shaping Persian imperial ideology
🔹 Discover how the Median military reforms influenced later Persian warfare
