Poor Pronunciation of Names and Places

While this is an excellent overview of historic events, care should be given to correctly pronouncing the place names and names of the central figures. I found it distracting and somewhat disrespectful to the cultures. The narrator has excellent delivery otherwise, measured and clearly read.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
