Thank ye me bonnie lass

Thank you

That Sackler affiliation didn't age well. At this point, I'm pretty sure Sackler's body count is higher than Saddam's...
Nebuchadnezzar and Sackler had a lot in common when you think about it
Yep
Not at all.
I love listening to lectures about the ancient world. The TTC have some great very long ones that go into great dept.
Wow iraq first history in world am so pried great great work thnks so much
Everything started in Iraq 🇮🇶!!
thank you, this was very educational and I find babylon fascinating.
Excellent lecture on the history of Babylon archeology. The one caveat is the introductory remarks by the host from the museum are much too long at 8 min. They should have been edited to a minute or so, as most of it is typical museum spiel about the speakers academic and life accomplishments, praise of generous donors for aiding the project, etc.
This was very informative concerning the people & the ancient city of Babylon. For the longest time I've been looking for informaton about ancient Babylon outside of Christianity because they can tend to put a negative spin on this great city. If you have any more information about Babylon please help me out. The Jews were also in Babylon, this is where they developed Kabala Mysticism.....yet I cant find any information on this either.
Thanks
I just found a few videos here on interviews with Dr. Daniel Mansfield from the University of South Wales speaking about the tablet 322 discovered in Iraq, and the trigonometry of the Babylonians. I hope this helps. I notice your comment was written 10 years ago, almost from antiquity already. Happy research findings to you.
why do academics insist on tedious introductions?
The fact that the speaker dont seam to know that the gardens are misattributed to Babylon bothers me immensely, they where at Nineveh not Babylon
Starts at 9:00
informative. thank you. ancient babylonians made a map of the world. nice
Yes they were there one of many actually
interesting

some ppl say democracy started in Lydia (Asia minor) after resistance and stuff to a claimant sovereign group there.. then info traveeled to hellinsit regions

The Greeks, just like EVERYONE ELSE, learned MOST of what they knew from an older and a neighboring civilization.
I'm certainly not going to believe their account of our history and you know it's really sad we have a right to know the truth.
The Metropolitan Museum should return a lot of its antiquities to the countries in which they belong.
@Spolierman I didn't say anything about Americans having no history etc. The museum administration is not correct...
@@azwris for what purpose?
Being destroyed by ISIS, or islam.
No, thanks.
Not until these countries of origin can guarantee the long term safety of said objects.
OBE means Order of the British Empire, or something of the sort. It's right there, out in the open, the last remnants of the imperial mentality. Agreed, some museums are a rotten remnant of the past.
Funny how everything is missing
Solomon a temple to the most high

They say they paint a dark picture for the profane and dark it is
Are these the Oxycontin Sacklers being spoken of?
you are so funny.....
Sackler. Can't watch this now.
MARDUK is another name for NIMROD(1st king of the world after the great cataclysm of Noah.)
After the confusion of languages at the tower of Babel ? 70 different tribes went 70 different directions speaking 70 different languages. One of those names was Osiris another is Gilgamesh and even another name for the same man with many different names is Marduk
Very true my friend history based on fact
He's a lot nicer than most Republicans.
Not to be rebuilt
original babylon supposed to be eridu
No the original Babylon is Babylon the claim that it was in eridu is a mistranslation of cuneiform and a few Scholars have misunderstood that the cities of eridu and Babylon are two different cities against each other
Eridu was the name of a neighbourhood in Babylon.
@@paulheinrichdietrich9518 Eridu was the first Sumerian city. The cradle of Sumer civilization.
Sounds legit....lol
STRUT İT OUT
What a shame.
SHAME ON YOU AMERICAN TROOPS FOR NOT RESPECTING HISTORY ,and ARCHAEOLOGY WHICH BELONGS TO THE WORLD OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE PAST ! BARBARIANS WERE CALLED IN PREHISTORIC TIMES ,AND A CRIME ACT !
MIsleading ,that historians do not use original geographical names ,like ( Bab-Ilu ) ,Uru-Solyma (Hiero-Solyma)=Jerusalem-Schytopolis !! We may find out who where the original inhabitants-this is what they don,t want ,just nice stories ....bla-bla
historians in their respective academic works mention those names if they deem it necessary... they are very well aware of ever changing names of cities (a tip for you: GO WITH THE TIMES! ...so people of today understand you -> that's the purpose of lectures like this).
so only your narrow view is misleading yourself, nothing else.
TELL ME ONE VIDEO WHERE I CAN HEAR for example .....UR , KISH , KUTA , ARAD , ARPAD , HIERO-SOLYMA (josephus ) = TODAY JERUSALEM ,,, SCHYTOPOLIS (herodotos ) ,AVARIS ....SAMOS , KARPATHOS , KOS islands +++I CAN TELL YOU MUCH -MUCH MORE ALL OVER THE GLOBE !!! - BECAUSE THOSE ARE ...MAGYAR..NAMES ...BY SCHYTIAN -HUN -MAGYAR CONTINUATION !!!---OF COURSE IF YOU ARE SO CLEVER
conor henderson, Suggestion: Next time u decide to say something ignorant, consider leaving off the pic. Couldn't hurt.
@@hunszkita1 Literally every video ive seen on the topic says Ur Kish etc, you literally cant talk about the start of civilization and not speak of Ur it is one of our species dearest cultural sites above all others.
@@katmannsson WHAT SPECIES YOU TALKING ABOUT ....BECAUSE THOSE NAMES ARE ALL MAGYAR ...+++I CAN TELL YOU EVEN MORE

A comb and mirror are wonderful things if you are getting in front of people to introduce a speaker.
Says the man who has never seen a comb nor a mirror. You might want to NOT look homeless if you’re trying to look shame.
