Some recent finds:
Fall of Civilizations
Not sure how much ancient history I'll post on this site, but this podcast, called The Fall of Civilizations, is now watchable on a new YouTube channel.
I won't embed the videos here, because for language learners it's always better to watch the video on youtube (after having clicked on CC -- on the lower right-hand side of the player -- to be sure you have the subtitles if you want them).
8. The Sumerians: Fall of the First Cities (published August 2020)

- 35:08 -- (metals + mathematics 360°, 24h, 60m, etc.)
