But perhaps the impressive general should have looked into the past before focusing on his future. Tim is joined by Paul Cooper, host of&nbsp;<a href="https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/">Fall&nbsp;of Civilizations Podcast</a>, to explore why powerful civilizations such as the Assyrians, the Han dynasty and the Roman Empire all ultimately collapsed.
