Any recommendations for good YouTube posts of full college lecture courses?

In the past I've enjoyed YaleCourses posts of Philosophy of Mind with Searle; Dante in translation with Mizzota; introduction to the old testament with Hayes; Marx's Capital with Harvey.

I'd be interested in anything in the literature, especially classical antiquity or 20th century anglophone; economics; history, especially Islamic or Chinese on a broad scale.

Not related to what you are looking for, but for a youtube lecture series;

Stanford CS224W: Machine Learning with Graphs, was very useful for me (For cryptocurrency/ML research). It's an excellent introduction to Graph Neural Networks and the associated links include lecture slides, notes, exams, and Jupyter Notebooks to code along with. The code is written using the PyGeometric library which is the best library for graph-based learning, a lot of the other courses online use outdated libraries and god forbid tensorflow.
