    Examining The Decipherment of Cuneiform is a fascinating journey through the history. The decipherment of cuneiform began with the decipherment of Old Persian cuneiform between 1802 and lasted until the start of the 20th Century.

    This one was a bit of an experiment. Rather than my usual ~5 min broad overview of a subject, I’ve focused in and taken a deep dive on a specific thing.
    What do you think?
    Should I do more like this or stick to my typical format?

      Whatever style best lends itself to the subject works for me. Thank you for putting this together, I learned some things I thought I already knew.

    I just started to watch a documentary on Mesopotamia, the narrator was too dramatic, I decided to watch one on Cuneiform as I finished a hieroglyphic one last night. Yours is so much better, easier on the ear. So many are over dramatised. Thank you and I have subscribed 👍🏽

      If you turn other docs down in speed to .75 they are better on the ear typically..
      I usually put on a random doc at .75 to get sleep~

    Nice video really informative! I’m sad you use CE though…
    But I’ll try not to hold it against you 😆

      You know... I've had this debate with my family, friends, and colleagues so many times. For this channel, I though because non-Christians do not consider Jesus to be their Lord, and as this is TH-cam and the audience can be anyone, I think it's best to use the secular terminology (BCE and CE). I'll be the first to admit that when I've given talks or lectures at non-secular schools, I revert to BC and AD. I like to think it doesn't make me a hypocrite (I have no opinion either way, ultimately they both denote the approximate the date of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth as 0), I'm just trying to be sensitive to my audience.

    Surprised you don’t have 100,000 subscribers or more! This is quality content, good thing it was recommended to me randomly so I could watch and subscribe!

      Wow! Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I just started the channel a couple of week ago, so I'm gaining some subscribers. Hopefully, others enjoy my videos as well!

    Im a bit curious: what marks the beggining of the common era CE?
    What separates the before and the after?

    • @Somewhat_Scientific
      @Somewhat_Scientific  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In the case of both CE (common era) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for the year of our lord), that start date is approximately the date of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Neither system uses a year zero (0): the year before 1 CE was 1 BCE. BC AD and BCE and CE are interchangeable. Because non-Christians do not consider Jesus to be their "Lord", scholars developed the non-religious term "the Common Era", as this is TH-cam and the audience can be anyone, I think it's best to use the secular terminology.

      Let's not eradicate European Christendom from their own cultural accomplishments. Inclusive language is destructive to their culture. Please use the correct A.D. and B.C. instead of the degraded and culturally silencing C.E. and B.C.E. Thank you.
