I can look at the beautiful cylinder seals all day. It's even more bewildering when you realize how small these seals actually are. The detail in them is incredible.
We need to step back and appreciate the amazing level of skill and technical ingenuity of these ancient people. From the massively monumental stone works seen all over the world to these miniature artistic renderings in the negative. What were the tools, implements and technologies they employed, that baffle us to this day? That is the true wonder!
These artifact were taken from the place and put in Museums many nations lost there artifacts they were stolen in wars and then bombed the library at Alexandra was destroyed by Vandals from Italy by Rome because ancient people like today do not want other culture to have history that is how empires claim lands lets hope all stolen artifacts are returned and compensation ,make money from selling tickets many indiginous culture sold their artifacts too and now they are being wiped out if we want to learn we go to that country and see their artifacts ,sanctions on Iran and many countries.
I came here to solve my question on how ... butt-f*cking a cow ... was something the government was proud of I want to know about the thumbnail showing a man ... butt-f*cking a cow - who is giving another guy a blow-job - who is whipping the 1st guy- to butt-F*ck the cow harder ... ( as a government seal !? ) . NOT how far "each tile & stone of the dispaly cabinet that it now resides in, traveled & time to carve each one " ... the floor & cabinets have NOTHING to do with showing how sexually diverted this city is ... ( the beautiful tile floor emphasizes the 'workers talent' not the sxual perverted minds on 'government' documents ) - which what this video is supposed to be about ... other cities / time periods have beautiful artwork - ( they are not as sexually perverted as the MESOPOTAMIAN period ) - why is THIS TIME / CITY so more perverted ?
@@tsvandyke have look into the cathedrals of the renaissance, have a look into pompei, or how about ancient india... it was not isolated to mesapotamia.
I’ve been a musician for 20 years and a stone mason for 10 years. I fell in love with masonry when it dawned on me that they are the oldest living artworks on the planet, which clearly served a massive purpose for our ancestors. I believe that they understood sonic levitation, it’s my life’s purpose to understand the link between vibration and lifting/cutting/transportation of massive stones.
Absolutely frickin awesomely incredibly OUTSTANDING presentation. I will never make it to the museum in person, so thank you so much for taking me there on TH-cam. And indeed thank you to your funders and to your assistants and helpers. MAGNIFICENT!

What an amazing presentation, thank you Sidney. Its unbelievable how intricate the designs are on the seals, almost as if mass produced by an ancient 3d printer rather than carved by hand. Genius, absolute pleasure watching this video.
They absolutely had a way to make these other than by hand everyone assumes they were dumb they were probably very smart and figured out a way to template these
Wonderful doesn't begin to describe your presentation. What impressed me the most was the awe conveyed by your voice and words adding another level of meaning and importance not previously available. So much gratitude equal to the gift of sharing this with the world. Outstanding!
its amazing how these titans of finance have squirreled away precious objects for years and now we find out about them. These are the ones left for everyones eyes what about the ones for the established eyes that allowed these people to squirell away a nations treasure... and yes this is the same morgan who ended teslas gift to civilization!
I have to say I am glad weathly people have such interest in art and history to help preserve it. Famous painting/art works are well cared for. I am not saying this justifies looted or stolen works. I only mean if a cataclysm happens it is wise to have some portion of cultural artifacts stored widely. I don't advocate people pilfer Egyptian artifacts, rather that more investment aids nations in preservation and storage and display, worldwide. Many nations lack resources for archaeology and some countries have had historic sites or monuments attacked. It seems inequtable, yet not all can afford to take care of artifacts beyond an average individual's personal art collection. It all needs to be accessible by the public and researchers and museums do a grand job of it. Private weathly collectors, dedecated collectors, donors and public visitors help make all of it possible. With NFTs hopefully more people can get skin in art game while encouraging more secure platforms.
That angel is not protecting that bull🤦♂️, he has his foot on his head. Looks a whole lot more like the angel is helping the lion strike down the bull to me😂. Not only thieves, but they are also peddling bull$π!+.
It’s the Vulcans. One warp drive won’t save humanity like one howitzer won’t save Ukraine or a microwave world hunger. It’s a much deeper problem than just hoarding tech which shows our child like nature in the first place. Would you want to share your one of a kind vintage celestial boat and crystal tablet signal library’s and maps showing where more goodies are. We can only hope whoever is hiding these types of hidden histories are studying and preserving it for the few who feel the magnetic calling to the truth. Look at how Egypt has turned out would it really be better if these things are kept slightly hidden to preserve and respect these things. Hopefully all this secrecy is in the name of posterity.
Because certain knowledge is a threat to powerful people. It’s been that way for thousands of years. The library of Alexandria and Solomon’s knowledge were destroyed. Hubs of information have been destroyed through the centuries. people in power get their people they reign over to do it. They get them angry and divided. then they like the mine till it blows up and violence reigns. This is worrisome. It’s the right time for them to make their presence known. Disclosure
Thank you for such a lovely presentation. I have waited so long to hear the details of these amazing seals and, frankly, you did not disappoint! The details on that ostrich made me swoon.
Very mindful of the thoughts behind all reasoning in this process. Gem stone amulets pictograms honoring people's value of office. And the progress of sociological happenings throughout history.
@@je-freenorman7787 lies just like TV evangelist , Council of Nicea and King James to name a few.. also it's about time somebody cuts Israel in half because nobody has a right to it..
As far back as this information goes into our history I am reminded that even these seals are still just "Remembered" information from what can only be described as "Survivors" of some event that had laid waste to most of our globe.
souvenirs more like it. This video is all garbage. Its a deception. Religion is a curse. This is what they "want" you to believe. Freemasons are hiding our real history. Christianity is Satanic.
Egyptian, Hindu, all the First Nations culture, all predates this stuff. First Nations were all over the world too. Aryans predate all Semitic culture. Semitism is problematic.
Jeff, I have upvoted your truthful info, but lighten up on the religious folks. The complexity of the Abrahamic control religions contain many truths. The Intent of religious folks who will NEVER understand the satanic elements in the symbology beimg covered up in this primary school presentation by the Brotherhood is the important thing. Just to view these seals is great. Ignore the Stooge working for the Bloodlines and the viewers who are mindspelled. Service To Others and their Free Will to understand or not .
@@shastadimension8169 I have been given a task, to which shall be my burden alone. I must look out for Christians and let them know, they need to try and learn the truth. Its a burden indeed. Men and women who stand on their own, shall know the truth and give thanks!
thank you for your presentation and admiration for these artifacts. Its very catchy - and I will be on this website right away. I never knew the extent of these small cylinders or that they were done on semi precious stone - the technology of this art form is actually spectacular!
Dear Mr Sidney Babcock, Wow wow wow wow!!! This is truly amazing, astounding and inspiring. You and your team have passionately and painstakingly brought such an incredibly important time of humanity into the present moment. My generation was not taught the true history of humans and with this you teach us how remarkable our past has been. You’ve shown us not only the beauty and splendor, but also shared why it is so important. I am not a scholar, yet I felt you made this presentation for all that live. Thank you deeply.
Just looking thru your website after watching the video... Wow! I could spend a year just browsing titles in your library. What a wonderful place to learn. Thankyou for preserving this history. Just WOW!
Thank you so much for this very impressive seminar on cylinder seals. I never knew these facts or gained such an art appreciation for them before I watched this video today. Wow these are actually so amazing - thanks for your hard work on discovering the artistry in them by trying them out yourself. That must have been fun.
@@je-freenorman7787 what's even worse is your trash diet of video games. You are considered a hypocrite cuz you take part in the Unseen Holocaust of the meat, Medical, and cosmetics industry. you were never given dominion over anyting you will be ordering from Amazon Prime 5 minutes after this with no conscience whatsoever
What had happened... immigrant natives sold out to establishment in disguise amongst them...then their fakeness with all the fake stories they could come up with.
The hero with the lions, is achieving balance with the beast within. The story of us all. Same metaphor as knight vs. Dragon, even YingYang is kind of the same metaphor.
Thank you so much Sidney, et al. Just fascinating and so well presented. I feel your enthusiasm for such fine works. The history is mesmerizing. Can't wait to visit and see these in the raw.
I would love to come work with you to place these seals on a rotisserie platform, lighting them properly, and shooting footage for your museum in 4K. Thank you for sharing this information. Understanding human history is crucial to understanding our future.
I've never seen any of this....amazing!! And the gentleman presenting this gave it such prestige, I could hear clearly the magnitude of importance through his voice. 👋 thank you .
Thank you for this excellent presentation. The artisty and skill of the engravers is so remarkable considering its antiquity. Thank you for an excellent job in moderating and hosting. We really enjoyed watching this.
What presentation were the 243 who thumbed down viewing??? This was brilliant, as Sidney captured the magnificence of the works with his passion. The detail with which he explained and the glow of love for this/his craft was infectious. If only education in the West would scratch the surface of this region and the immense era of history them perhaps there would be far fewer believing all of life on Earth is but 6000 years old. Hats off to all involved and to all in the comments to that inspired my own. Many thanks to you all.
As an aspiring artist, I think I've found a new calling. To build is to live, to live is to expand one's self capabilities to perfect one's aspersions for a better understanding of the world ahead 😊
Yes just as we all new that this oldest civilisation, well I shouldn't say the oldest but a snapshot into a civilisation 4000 years ago were so advanced is absolutely out of this would. Thank you for the journey back in time.
Would you believe the ancient Giza pyramids were debunked in the 1950s to be man made using the surrounding materials as like a concrete solution..?? This was actually proven by Dr Barsoum of Drexel University in around 2006 using an electon microscope.. Written and published first by Harvard in 1950 and you are only now hearing about it almost 72yrs later.. Web search Drexel University ancient pyramids and see for yourself..
The thing is not only the carving or sculpting of each seal is considerable achievement you have to create the seal to be concave and proportional scale everything, hard enough to work with rock and to do it scraped down so you have a curved impressions on the wet clay you rolling into
Idea: If funding wasn't an obstacle: How about making a drone (alternatively a vehicle) equipped with high resolution cameras and recognizing ability computer technology scanning the surfaces of old Mesopotamia, searching for any archeology that might peep through? There must be seals, cylinder and other cultural remnants laying around. Dropped or lost while being weared by someone back then. I believe artificial intelligence in an dedicted form combined with drones could prove to be one of the greates future assets of modern archeology, like recent technologies like LIDAR and ground penetrating radar proved to be in recent years.
If you are curious to know who are the "heroes" depicted I recomend reading zecharia sitchin. I do not exagerate when I say it is the most important story in human history.
W O W, awesome research and editing folks. I highly recommend Austin Henry Layard's book as it transports the reader through the sands of time as if you were with him on his expeditions. This type of carving work would be the equivalent of microchip lithography today...
yes really nice presentation thank you for the Morgan family of who you are can not waite for you library to open again right on you have beautiful artifacts just like you family is beautiful again thank you for this
Mr. Rosen, thank you for this presentation. Your passion shines through! I hope to visit the Morgan Library and Museum one day! I’ve been fascinated by this ancient art form for years, as well as biblical history. Well done sir! 🙏
Thank you so much for the Beautiful and genus work of bring us this art. You saved it from being lost forever. Blessings to you. P.S. I wish you had high resolution poster sized reproductions, with explanations…"FOR SALE"…
If you could answer me sir? Have any sculptures attempted to carve a modern version of a Cylinder Seal? Thank you for this presentation. You have brought these amazing works of art to life for me, in a way that I have never seen them before. Thank you sir.
23:34 It looks more like the 3rd eye. But I noticed in the other scrolls they seem to outline the eyes and make them very large, this picture only shows one large "normal" eye. It does look like a jester hat but I think that's because we have a cognitive bias as we've seen jester hats like this before. The brain is a pattern machine and it's referring back to something with a similar shape in your subconscious and, seemingly, conscious memory.
Read : THE CRYSTAL SUN - Rediscovering a Lost Technology of the Ancient World by Robert Temple 1999. I read it years ago and just finished another by the same author : HE WHO SAW EVERYTHING - The Epic of Gilgamesh, recently finding out that he is very accomplished. In the video they gave a clue with the engraving around the circular agate 'eye' seal, too bad they did not show a close up and that is the point. To do that type of work would require some sharp instrument harder than the agate (diamond?) and a magnifier for the artist to see what they are doing. As to the vice, it can be just a wooden clamp held with ones knee or foot because the forces are small for each incisement stroke. What 'they' never talk about is how they made cylinders without some kind of crude lathe and many of those have bores through them for hanging around ones neck. Here is another good book - The Seal Cylinders of Western Asia by Ward William Hayes 1910. Follow the avatar...
How did you get them from Mesopotemia? Which is current Iraq, syria and Turkey region. I always wonder how all of these priceless items end up in European or US museums.
You buy them 🤷 the same way with manuscripts back in the 1920s you could literally go to a monastery and it was having the equivalent of a garage sale to fund itself. is it right that it ended up all here ?probably not but you can't have a buyer without a seller.
@@unbroken1010 some items you could buy maybe. But I personally know lots of historical artifacts stolen or smuggled during war times, occupations or colonization eras. All artifact from Africa are stolen. Priceless large items from former Ottoman Empire are stolen, during Iraq and Syria war many items got stolen. If 20% were purchased, 80% is stolen
@@RomeoSuvar I get you but that statistic is not validated. Not everything that come from Africa is stolen. Plenty is made for import, export. Lots of art got stolen during ww2 never recovered.
thank you for the vid your man is really a good talker and the web link is brilliant who dont wanna roll a fatty and look at ancient seals from the start of human history... fabulous many thanks. hay if he wants to continue im happy to sit here for another 12 hours listening i got plenty of smoke to burn lol
The comments on this video are proof that the lunatic fringe can and will grasp at any topic. I sympathize with presenters that turn off the comments. If the Morgan library does I would understand and perhaps applaud them.
As the "rolling stones" have a hole through the middle wouldn't it be much easier to make an impression by putting a thin straight stick or needle through said hole instead of trying to twiddle it with fingers and thumbs? Especially given how small most of them are?
How exactly 4000+ years ago, did they DRILL and CARVE such tiny intricate designs in 1" cylinders of Marble and Crystal??? LET ALONE even create 1" round cylinders from those materials in the first place!?! Lasers? Diamond tipped chisels? I'm not being facetious, I actually want to KNOW how scholars suggest this was done!?
Drilled probably with abrasives carved with maybe metal tools idk what they had, more abrasives, polished with abrasives yet again. Not much material needed to be removed to create the designs so a slow tool might be beneficial. I imagine they made test impressions with soft clay as they went to assess their progress
I can look at the beautiful cylinder seals all day. It's even more bewildering when you realize how small these seals actually are. The detail in them is incredible.
We need to step back and appreciate the amazing level of skill and technical ingenuity of these ancient people. From the massively monumental stone works seen all over the world to these miniature artistic renderings in the negative. What were the tools, implements and technologies they employed, that baffle us to this day? That is the true wonder!

Idea: If funding wasn't an obstacle: How about making a drone (alternatively a vehicle) equipped with high resolution cameras and recognizing ability computer technology scanning the surfaces of old Mesopotamia, searching for any archeology that might peep through?
There must be seals, cylinder and other cultural remnants laying around. Dropped or lost while being weared by someone back then.
I believe artificial intelligence in an dedicted form combined with drones could prove to be one of the greates future assets of modern archeology, like recent technologies like LIDAR and ground penetrating radar proved to be in recent years.
I didn’t notice it in the other ones but I’ll be checking them all out now
What a great and informative video. Thank you.
If you are curious to know who are the "heroes" depicted I recomend reading zecharia sitchin. I do not exagerate when I say it is the most important story in human history.
W O W, awesome research and editing folks. I highly recommend Austin Henry Layard's book as it transports the reader through the sands of time as if you were with him on his expeditions. This type of carving work would be the equivalent of microchip lithography today...
WOW. Your cadence, mannerisms and diction are incredible. It is a real conservator’s presentation.
Just wow. Thank you. Stan
Incredible! Knowledge has definitely increased!
yes really nice presentation thank you for the Morgan family of who you are can not waite for you library to open again right on you have beautiful artifacts just like you family is beautiful
again thank you for this
Thanks!
Mr. Rosen, thank you for this presentation.
Your passion shines through! I hope to visit the Morgan Library and Museum one day!
I’ve been fascinated by this ancient art form for years, as well as biblical history. Well done sir! 🙏
Thank you so much for the Beautiful and genus work of bring us this art. You saved it from being lost forever. Blessings to you.
P.S. I wish you had high resolution poster sized reproductions, with explanations…"FOR SALE"…
There's so much crap on TH-cam, it's nice to see such works, words cannot do this Justice, thank you!!!
Stunning and the zoom in, rotate ability and the impression with painstakingly care, wowowowooww!
Love this professor!
If you could answer me sir? Have any sculptures attempted to carve a modern version of a Cylinder Seal? Thank you for this presentation. You have brought these amazing works of art to life for me, in a way that I have never seen them before. Thank you sir.
23:34 It looks more like the 3rd eye. But I noticed in the other scrolls they seem to outline the eyes and make them very large, this picture only shows one large "normal" eye. It does look like a jester hat but I think that's because we have a cognitive bias as we've seen jester hats like this before. The brain is a pattern machine and it's referring back to something with a similar shape in your subconscious and, seemingly, conscious memory.
The cyclops is almost certainly "awareness"
Horace to the Egyptians
So the 3rd eye reference you made would be correct too, as the 3rd eye is a metaphor for awareness.
I build things super complex and intricate things, BUT they are 10’ tall and 26’ long, and 14’ wide... the detail in these seals is breathtaking,,,,..
So these cylinders that basically leave images and writing are probably the "real" original printing press
Na, Hindu and Egyptian culture, predates all this. Morgan was a Freemason. They are liars and scam artists.
@@je-freenorman7787 take your meds
@@je-freenorman7787 they never had presses . it was done by hand.
@@4reg4 he already takes too much . that's what got his mind so corrupt to begin with.. Crack is whack.🤷
Wow so that’s what the little man purses 👜 were for? To keep the seals safe inside!
How did they hold them still to actually carve the seals ? Obviously they didn't have metal bench vices . Any ideas ?
Read : THE CRYSTAL SUN - Rediscovering a Lost Technology of the Ancient World by Robert Temple 1999. I read it years ago and just finished another by the same author : HE WHO SAW EVERYTHING - The Epic of Gilgamesh, recently finding out that he is very accomplished. In the video they gave a clue with the engraving around the circular agate 'eye' seal, too bad they did not show a close up and that is the point. To do that type of work would require some sharp instrument harder than the agate (diamond?) and a magnifier for the artist to see what they are doing. As to the vice, it can be just a wooden clamp held with ones knee or foot because the forces are small for each incisement stroke. What 'they' never talk about is how they made cylinders without some kind of crude lathe and many of those have bores through them for hanging around ones neck. Here is another good book - The Seal Cylinders of Western Asia by Ward William Hayes 1910. Follow the avatar...
How did you get them from Mesopotemia? Which is current Iraq, syria and Turkey region. I always wonder how all of these priceless items end up in European or US museums.
You buy them 🤷 the same way with manuscripts back in the 1920s you could literally go to a monastery and it was having the equivalent of a garage sale to fund itself. is it right that it ended up all here ?probably not but you can't have a buyer without a seller.
@@unbroken1010 some items you could buy maybe. But I personally know lots of historical artifacts stolen or smuggled during war times, occupations or colonization eras. All artifact from Africa are stolen. Priceless large items from former Ottoman Empire are stolen, during Iraq and Syria war many items got stolen. If 20% were purchased, 80% is stolen
@@RomeoSuvar I get you but that statistic is not validated. Not everything that come from Africa is stolen. Plenty is made for import, export. Lots of art got stolen during ww2 never recovered.
thank you for the vid your man is really a good talker and the web link is brilliant who dont wanna roll a fatty and look at ancient seals from the start of human history... fabulous many thanks. hay if he wants to continue im happy to sit here for another 12 hours listening i got plenty of smoke to burn lol
Marvelous!
Thank you Mr. Babcock. this is a wonderful presentation. Have a wonderful life, here and beyond. : )
Painters 🎨 in stone! Remarkable, exquisite figurative ART.
One inch seal, with so much detail
This is such wonderful lecture. He is an outstanding educator.
This is an amazing truth and I'm so happy you shared thank you
Rolling stones: 2000 light years from home!
Excellent. Thank you.
The comments on this video are proof that the lunatic fringe can and will grasp at any topic. I sympathize with presenters that turn off the comments. If the Morgan library does I would understand and perhaps applaud them.
Is this the same Morgan who sabotaged Tesla to introduce free, wireless power transmission because he couldn't make money of it?
no ...wrong dude ..
With this knowledge ,I'm just wondering what doors are open to my mind's eye now
Thank you so much for sharing your hard work
Knowledge is golden .thanx for all the wonderful information.its found one of these artifacts in Cherokee north Carolina .
As the "rolling stones" have a hole through the middle wouldn't it be much easier to make an impression by putting a thin straight stick or needle through said hole instead of trying to twiddle it with fingers and thumbs? Especially given how small most of them are?
How exactly 4000+ years ago, did they DRILL and CARVE such tiny intricate designs in 1" cylinders of Marble and Crystal??? LET ALONE even create 1" round cylinders from those materials in the first place!?! Lasers? Diamond tipped chisels? I'm not being facetious, I actually want to KNOW how scholars suggest this was done!?
Tiny fairies with hammers 🤓
Drilled probably with abrasives carved with maybe metal tools idk what they had, more abrasives, polished with abrasives yet again. Not much material needed to be removed to create the designs so a slow tool might be beneficial. I imagine they made test impressions with soft clay as they went to assess their progress
The ancients were smarter than you lot, that's how
@@NetanyahooWarCriminal thanks for the insight moran
Excellent presentation 👍
Thank you. 👌🤌🤌🤳🤍
I am Assyrian and thankful for you
Thanks for the video!
