Many thanks to the generous folks at UPenn for uploading this cutting edge academic research online free of charge. Extremely grateful to be around for new excavations in Iraq.
They and the UK army were also responsible, at the behest of politicians, for the deaths of tens, or was it hundreds, of thousands of Iraqui civilians. 😢
Stumbled upon your video and thoroughly enjoyed the VERY clear description and explanation of what was found. Also the destruction over the centuries including the very recent destruction of these invaluable sites!
Wow! I was oriented throughout the whole lecture. Very good coordination of drawings and photos. Lecture just flew by. Thank you so much! Please do more from this archaeologist.
Amazing thank u so much, I wish we had a channel on tv that just showed all of this! Historical lectures and programs by real historians, archaeologists and scholars
This is such a fantastic accessible, clear video! Thank you so much for preserving, protecting and disseminating this knowledge for free on here. That's what science and humanity is all about!
Great presentation and interesting history. I like the historical comprehensiveness of his discussion. From the site origins to modern events. Gave your channel a new follower.
Good work. Thank you. I am left wondering about the ordinary citizens of these ancient societies and how life was for them. Clearly they knew some stuff.
As an ex-student of linguistics under the tutelage of Prof. W.G. Lambert, I also studied under Jeffrey Orchard who first described the Nimrod Ivories and I worked with him surveying Wadi Bahla, Oman. I was delighted to stumble across this video. Very informative and enlightening. Thank you.
1:05:30 I'm imagining some task manager who couldn't be bothered to think the it through told a bunch of underlings to chisel the reliefs when eventually someone had the genius idea that you can just turn them around.
yeah, ive spent alot of time building stuff as a lackey, and thats where my mind went. im suprised that they didnt find some kind of hastily drawn phallus back there!
In Iraq, names are mentioned that are very similar to Georgian and are very interesting names, and we, the Georgian people, are also mentioned in the Bible as Tubal and Meshech in the prophecy of Ezekiel. So we are Cardukh, and today the peoples below us still refer to us as such. In Europe, the coastal peoples, Pelasgians, Etruscans, Picts, Basques, Ligurians, these were the children of Gomer's Javan, below were Tubal and Meshech. That is, our connections in Greek mythology, in Etruscan culture are certain, and Medea also lost her son in a war with the Indians.
The comments about the paranoia fundamentalists feel about such sites is so telling. So much archeology and scholarship has been lost to the whims and winds of sects who are suspicious about the past and especially ancient religious practices. I am very concerned these days because of the fundamentalists here in the US who have a terrible track record of destroying archeology and scholarship in favor of ideology and superstition.

@@bjrockensock Destroying archaeology? You mean destroying sites á la mode Daesh? Who are these American fundamentalists who have done this and what have they done? I'm from the UK and I simply don't know to what and to whom you refer.
Only one group, in modern times, has the goal of destroying ancient historic evidence because it runs counter to religious doctrine. Hint: it's not American Christians.
detailed pictures and metadata of all archeological artifacts from all museums and private collections should be released into the public and wikified in order to crowdsource the translation and hopefully an effort of the reconstruction of the artifacts involved, artificially, virtually as they were, in situ.
The Bible and Greek mythology coincide, Prometheus is the son of Japheth, who taught humanity everything. We, the Georgian people, are descendants of Japheth, an Italian missionary says about us Georgians, these people are the ones who gave rise to ancient wisdom, these people enlightened humanity, this Greek mythology and these stories are the history of the Georgian people, which the Italian missionary claims, he was not a fictional person, he was a real person who said this about us, the woman is Medea, Prometheus, the same Amiran, this is our history, we were the first civilization
🖐How is Kalhu similar to Colchis? Everything is similar to the Georgian language. It's as if the names were pronounced in Georgian. They are repeated exactly in Georgian. We were Georgians there, Chaldeans, and at that time Georgian was the language of those people.
Hilarious such lectures, which most often praising the british and european plunderers and discovery experts instead of the actual land, topography and psycho-graphy of the given region. People of this region knew for centuries about the Syrian empire and or civilization, and they never needed any Henry Layard to tell them so yet again in a different language...

The army destroyed ancient Iraq. What a sad comment 😢

Thank you for offering this accessible presentation to the public, for free. It’s fascinating.

Thank you so much for sharing this.......very grateful to learn.
More than exciting. The agony and the ecstasy of archeology and history are so evident in your beautiful work. Have fun! Thank you.

Put your yearbook away
Thank you! How i wish to see more of such presentations!
A great talk. It would be amazing to do RTI imaging on the Mashqi gate reliefs.
I wonder why no teams are at Warka? Ninevah is interesting for sure, but Warka is fascinating... As is Jiroft/Konar Sandal excavations.
❤I love it , "The Penn Museum "❤very interesting, Real History and I can't wait to visit again !Thank you so much!
thank you, I enjoyed this.
That was very good and interesting thanks
Amazing to see such great archaeology content coming from an American university, when many Americans are so fiercely anti-intellectual and religious
I have a question about modern superstitions. Is Bruce Jenner a man or a woman?
Thank you

The destruction of art is not so limited. In 2020 we saw violent, hysterical mobs destroy statues all over North America.

How dare those ancient scribes erase their inscriptions! No respect for historians. 😂
