- In this video, we dive into city-states' rise in ancient Mesopotamia, beginning with the fascinating history of Uruk, one of the world’s first great cities. Located in the southern Sumer region, Uruk inspired the name "Iraq" and laid the groundwork for key developments in early civilization, from urbanization to the birth of writing.
We'll explore how Uruk became a central figure in human history, from its mention in the Book of Genesis as Erech to its legendary king, Gilgamesh, whose story is one of the oldest known to mankind. As we trace the city’s evolution through the Early, Middle, and Late Uruk phases, you'll learn about the architectural marvels, the invention of proto-cuneiform writing, and the rapid expansion of trade networks during the "Uruk phenomenon."
As Uruk's influence grew, it spearheaded innovations in urban planning, with monumental structures like temples that centralized religious power. Discover how these early city-states navigated competition for resources, developed irrigation systems, and contended with conflicts-setting the stage for the formation of empires, including Sargon’s Akkadian dynasty.
Join us as we unravel how Uruk's innovations and challenges influenced the rise of city-states across Mesopotamia, and how this ancient civilization left a lasting legacy on the modern world.
Thanks for making such a wonderful video on this topic....
The information is very good though
The information provided is very good
Very interesting video. But I think there is already a video on the channel about early stage of Uruk upto 3200bce this is one discusses after 3000 bce
Voice over is soothing

Gold was common among the ancient american indians,i think,they had contact with them,also in the balkans and ancient bulgaria gold was made… so most probably ancient sumer was a mix of cultures from the urals,balkans,and central asia…
The concept of human evolution has major flaws that are often overlooked. First, the fossil record is incomplete, with missing transitional forms that should show a clear progression from early ancestors to modern humans. Second, the idea that complex systems, like the human brain, developed through random mutations and natural selection seems statistically improbable. There are still too many gaps in the evidence to confidently say that humans evolved purely through these processes. It's time to question whether evolution can really explain the complexity of human life.
That is a Joke in an era where biological science has advanced so much, we are now able to see evolution happening live
There are some gaps rather than flaws and more research will cover it in future
What is the alternative? We magically develop? You would need evidence for that as well.
We have evidence of human evolution.
Endings of your videos make no sense. It is like they just stop in the middle of the dialogue. Still enjoyed it but it is odd.
