The Emperor Who Lost His Kingdom Because of One Lie | The Tragic Story of King Croesus

What happens when the richest king in the ancient world believes he is unstoppable? More than 2,500 years ago, King Croesus ruled Lydia, one of history's wealthiest kingdoms. Gold flowed from the Pactolus River, merchants crossed continents to reach Sardis, and Croesus believed fortune would last forever. But one prophecy... One decision... And the rise of Cyrus the Great changed history forever. This cinematic documentary explores the true story behind the fall of Lydia, the Oracle of Delphi, the Battle of Pteria, the siege of Sardis, and the timeless lesson hidden within one of history's greatest empires.
