Once in latin class my professor performed an entire speech (a short one, "only" 5-6 minutes long) by Cicero with all of the proper gesture and rethoric that would have been used, and it was like the school bench became a spectatorial seat in the senate just then. Living history.
🙄🙄🥱
Amazing. Almost like witnessing history.
The Viking guy has two separate personalities 🤣🤣🤣
I can't say that you convinced me about how the ancient Greek language sounded.
That's because it didn't sound anything close to that.
Hahah 😂😂 yes iam greek and that was not even ancient greek…..😅😅
This is an English man pretending to be ancient Greek. This video maker is inspired by old western racist thoughts that modern Greeks have nothing to do with the ancient Greeks. They fantasize that ancient Greeks were Nordic Europeans. Outdated racist fantasies. Archeological and ancient dna prove otherwise. Ancient Greek phenotypes was similar to the darkest Greeks. The western people misunderstood ancient Greek descriptions of their own people.
Yes total rumble. In the jungle.....great effortyou guysa.. lots of respect ...but i guess u should have native speakers... .i speak greek (my language with good knowledge of ancient Greek too) and i must say i did find it out of reach..... not just the accent (reasonable) but also the pronunciation was out of place...it was like an other language
abroad they use the attic dialect when they pronounce ancient greek,something we are not familiar hearing from our school system..yes some things were off,but they use the attic dialect@@pollalisandreas
Latin ("Roman" here) here's Medieval, church Latin, not classical. Plus, Latin language (the language of Romans) was changing, so there are differences even in classical Latin. Greek sounded really strange. The Aztecs called themselves Mexica and their language is called Nahuatl.
The Akkadians are amazing! They are still speaking their language 131 years from NOW according to the date on the screen! 😂
LOL. And the guy who looks 80 sounds like he's 14.
@@scottmcdermand8697 Not to mention that in the Viking section two different people are clearly heard speaking
The Sumerians lasted until 2000 😂
Akkadian seemed so understandable to me like 30%
He was kinda saying: I am “Name” mother of Hammurabi. But my father Tamkarum, …. I haven’t seen them in 3 years….
Ancient Greek example is very wrong. As a Greek who understands ancient greek as well, i did not get a single word. Very bad accent, to the point it sounds like something foreign and unrecognisable.
The three first are actually wrong.Latin not so but it is wrong too...
Well it should sound unrecognisable. I'm a native English speaker, I don't understand Old English at all. Even if my life depended on it, I'd be screwed 😂.
Of course, the work they do is all guess work. No one really knows what these languages sounded like. Do we think that we can really put together the Sumerian and Babylonian languages ?
@@brandoninhofer6592 Yeah, but the thing is, i can read and speak ancient Greek. The spelling of letters and the accent is the same as modern Greek. Here the AI doesn't even spell things right.
@@fighterofthedreams1245 OK, I see.
Dare to dream the ancient "greece",what you have now is "greek".that means,ancient people talked pelasgian,something that you never grasp.
2000 AD, we prepared our systems against the Y2k bug but we couldn't save the Sumerians
Alas, the Sumerian base 60 numeral system was not enough to save them, either. They never saw it coming. 😔
The Greek Civilization should start with the Mycenaeans from the 18th century BC. It is the first distinctly Greek civilization in mainland Greece. Leaving that age out is incomprehensible.
the greeks aren't even from this planet.
@@alimpe3530haha thanksss
The greek civilisation started from 2800 bc...(Μινύες)
@@gregmel4909minoans were non-Indo-European. They spoke an early form of Eteocretan
@@everettduncan7543 But they had the same religion and the same gods until the end of the ancient world... Also in the Peloponnese and Thebes there were the great Mynias (2800 BC) much earlier than the Mycenaeans...
The Achaemenid guy is saying the Lord's Prayer in what sounds like Syriac Aramaic, and with an odd pronunciation.
Yeah, it's like a weird variation of Madnhayya pronunciation.
I could recognise many words as an Arabic native speaker
So, its basically all disappointingly fake? Not even the right language let alone accurate pronunciation!
Very interesting and informative. I enjoyed these. Thank you for all your hard work and research. Rijad i missed you in this video😁. Much love snd respect💜💕
Im so proud to be a direct descendant of the ancient egyptians ❤
How calming to watch the ancient human civilizations come to live❤️ thank you for one of the most beautiful videos online.
Agreeded!!! 100%!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
As an Indian 🇮🇳 , I am proud that our Sanskrit language (oldest language of the world) had been never changed and it is still same as once it was 4000 years ago !!!!😮
Who is speaking it now??? Less than million... I guess... but they will also be gone......
@@tallurirahul5077 I know you are a Tamilian, why you people are obsessed with Sanskrit hate. If you are a Hindu then you should be proud of Sanskrit .
@@tallurirahul5077 insecure tamilian fanatic spotted 🤣
sanskrit is ancient european language, so you should/must know that this language is language of conquerors and local culture destroyers
@@unknown-oi1pg sankrit is originated in India not Europe.
It was originated in Sapta Sindhu Region present day eastern Pakistan & Punjab.
I'm Assyrian and the The Achaemenid is speaking modern Assyrian, I understood all of it. It's Our Father and is currently used in our Churches.
Which is historically wrong. Who ever made this has no idea what they are doing.
@@wexqlp3863Yep they just saw that the Achaemenid Empire kept Aramaic as their administrative language and chose it. Dumb
Sumerian guy recites "Hymn to Ishtar" . Sounds much better when they sing it. U can find it performed by steff conner. Pure Magic.❤
Respect for the cameraman who recorded these
No way this is ancient Greek. Not a single word is recognisable. Probably the same applies to other languages too. On the other hand I can
understand some Latin words.
the latin pronuciation is also odd. in ancient times, "vero" would sound more like "wero", but the character said vero...
And the Achaemenid Persian is literally reciting the Lord's Prayer.
Great Mesopotamia. Assyrian Akkadian, Sumerian and there are more. ❤ proud for being part of this ancient rich land.
I noticed all of them has a heavy emphasis on the H like Arabic does (or atleast that how it sounds to me). Does that make sense or that's not at all how your perceive it?
@@IdoNomb they are all Semitic so the sound is very close to arabic. Latest studies showed that arabic developed from Akkadian language specifically just like other Semitic dialects or languages. But no in those languages h is very light unlike arabic.
@@Dina-zb4iy yeah it sounded to me more like Sh then HA. It's so cool seeing how current language take shape based on how ancient languages sounded like. Sound is a powerful weapon
@@Dina-zb4iyare you sure that Arabic comes from akkadian language?
@@Dina-zb4iy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think there is a mistake here, the Assyrian is actually speaking ancient Persian. He reads the inscription of Cyrus the Great or Darius the First, which explains that he is the king of Assyria, the king of Akkad, the king of Babylon, etc.
حرف شما درسته ولی چرا هیچ کدوم اینا اصلا به فارسی شباهتی نداشت …
این فارسی که امروز حرف میزنیم انگار هیچ ربطی به زبان هخامنشیان نداره ، چطور این همه دچار تغییر شده ؟!
اصلا انگار زبان ایرانی هایی مثل هخامنشیان و ساسانیان یه چیز دیگه بوده که امروز فارسی رو جایگزینش کردند ، ولی شک ندارم زبان باستانی اجداد ما فارسی امروزی نبوده بلکه این فارسی امروز قرن ها پس از اسلام کم کم به این شکل در اومد و از ناحیه های شرقی وارد کشور و مرکز ایران شد
He is actually reading the Babylonian inscription of the Cyrus the great. However, he is not at all reading it in Old Persian, he is actually reading Akkadian. However, in the Achaemenid part, I couldn't understand what language was being spoken for certainly it was not Old Persian or anything remotely representing an Indo-Iranian tongue.
It seems in the Achaemenid part, Aramaic was being used. Aramaic though not an Indo-Iranian language and having nothing to do with Persian was and is still relevant with the Achaemenid empire as Darius the great popularised the use of it. So, yeah, it's not Persian.
@@HH-pq9rb زبان فارسی مانند تمام زبان های باستانی دارای سه دوره باستان ، میانه و نو است، هیچ زبانی از دوره نوین همانند نیای دوره باستانی خودش نیست چون زبان ها بنا به تحولات و رویداد های هزاره ها دچار دگردیسی و دگرگونی میشوند ،ولی چیزی که اصل و نصب هر زبان رو مشخص میکنه ، ساختار و دستور اون زبانه ، که زبان فارسی طبق دستور و ساختار ادامه دهنده مستقیم پارسی باستان و میانه است، فارسی شناسنانه زبانشناسی داره و به سه دوره باستان( هخامنشی) ، میانه( ساسانی یا پارسیگ)
فارسی یا پارسی نو تقسیم بندی شده ، زبان فارسی یک زبان ایرانی نو از شاخه غربی و زیرشاخه جنوب غربی بازمانده مستقیم پارسی ساسانی و نواده مستقیم پارسی باستان است .و تنها زبان ایرانی نو است که دارای هر سه دوره بوده ، دیگر زبان های ایرانی نو ، در دوره میانه به شکل غیر مستقیم یا از پهلوی نیا گرفتند یا از پارسیگ .
@@HH-pq9rbthe achaemenids spoke the earliest recorded form of Farsi, Old Persian. This video is not accurate
This is fascinating. Hearing Egyptian, I could imagine the ancient mystery schools and their power. Listening to the Roman, I could hear all the derivative languages that came from Latin: Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Occitan. In the Mayan, I could hear other Native American languages from the North. Interesting that I didn't have that experience with the Celt language, regarding Irish, Welsh, Scots, or others. Maybe I've watched too many LOTR movies.
If you say all Latin languages you have to include Romanian too, all the Aromanian, MeglenoRomanian, IstroRomanian, Romans (Swizterland), Napoletan.....
I just wrote a long comment but I'm pretty sure we don't actually know what ancient Egyptian sounded like bc they didn't record vowels. BTW lotr use a made up language by the author.
FYI the "Egyptian" in this video is not actual reconstructed Ancient Egyptian, but rather the Modern Egyptological pronunciation. Actual reconstructed variants of Ancient Egyptian sound distinctly similar to the Semitic languages, which makes sense, considering they're part of the larger Afro-Asiatic language family.
There's strong influence of Latin in English too
Most of the Mayan languages are still spoken (there are 26 of them, and all but 3 are mutually unintelligible), as is Nahuatl. Norse is still largely alive in Iceland, but not so much in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark as those nations' languages have become distinct languages rather than dialects of Norse.
Thank you love these videos👍
An interesting fact about nahuatl is that it was studied by spanish clerics and it expanded to territories it wasnt present before under spanish rule, as it was used as a lingua franca in Mexico before the broader spread of spanish in later periods penetrated into all places
Yes it is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
It's so cool to hear Latin
If you ever do a part 3, I'd like to suggest ancient Etrusco, thanks
Fascinating! 😊
Thank you, excellent.
In your video Ahaemenids speak Assyrian Aramaic language!
Very interesting video. I liked it. ❤
I think the dates are a bit screwed up, for example I'm positively certain the Sumerians didn't last until the year 2000 AD nor did the Akkadians last until 2154 AD lol. Still fantastic in any case.
I don't think the Hittites lasted to 1178 AD either
Very very interesting this channel.
My real name is Emanuele
This is amazing
The greek and assyrian ones have a strong english accent. And the achaemenid is praying The Lord´s Prayer in aramaic!!!
In syro-aramaic with wrong pronounciation ;)
The Roman one is also not classical pronunciation
in ancient Greek the pronunciation was very bad. He only managed to say a couple of words correctly. From what I understand, he didn't do any better in the other languages either.
@@user-qm8gh3eo1u I honestly think this video is just lifted clips of other videos claiming to pronounce these languages lol, I think I’ve heard a few of these elsewhere
I was wondering why the Achaemenid was reciting the Pater noster (Abun deveshmayya) in Syriac.
Fascinating! AI has come a long way. History is becoming "tangible". I am really interested in hearing what Old Tagalog (Baybayin) or extinct Filipino languages sound like. According to Ethnologue, a total of 182 native languages are spoken in the nation and four languages have been classified as extinct: Dicamay Agta, Katabaga, Tayabas Ayta and Villaviciosa Agta.
Baybayin, Baybayin is a writing system not language lol.
@@macoswatkpop686 Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't born in the Philippines so I learn what I can online.
Interesting . Thank you Historicly for your work.
What's the name of the musical piece being played in the background?
This give me new ideas for my artwork down the line
FYI:
That is *not* what ancient Greek sounded like.
The Achaemenid Persian is speaking Aramaic and literally reciting the Christian Lord's Prayer (or Abun da'vshamaya).
the Ancient Egypt is so facinating sound very mystic
My favorite ones consist of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome, but Celtic and Aztec language were quite interesting as well.
I dispute the accuracy of the ancient Roman pronunciation.
Just said the same thing. It’s not classical pronunciation, though I do appreciate the authority in which it’s said, that feels very ancient Roman lol. Also, while I’m no expert in Greek, the Greek here doesn’t feel right at all.
@@virgilflowers9846 The Greek is way off too, not one recognisable word, in any reconstructed pronunciation
@@TMPOUZI I didn’t think so. I’ve only learned a very little bit of Ancient Greek-it’s an extremely difficult language to me, but I am somewhat familiar with some basic words and basic pronunciation and I hear nothing that sounds like Greek in this clip lol
Yeah, sounded weird to me and I studied Latin at school.
He says "perfugium" at some point (at least I think so) and it sounds like an American /British guy would say that as they don't have that G sound. It should sound like "dg" not "gh".
Beautiful sounding
Beautiful language's ❤👍
5:07 that चाबी चाहिए किसीको? was epic😂😂
I enjoyed this and I would like for you to do this to other languages as well.
Very interesting.....
Did u rip this from EquatorAI
Ancient slavic would be: yako wo istinu blazhiti tya, Bogorodicu prisnoblazhenuyu.
And for real i hear every Germanic languages in viking's
It would be interesting to compare the same text. If I heard correctly, in some languages it was the text of the "Our Father" prayer.
Thank you.
The language of the Celts is more like Latin than Germanic
Qual o texto que cada um dos personagens falou?
The Achaemenid is wrong language ,what I heard is Aramaic and what it said is Our father's prayer in Aramaic . Actually Achamenid's Language is Old Persia , or at least for common speaker language would be Imperial Aramaic which diffrence from Aramaic that spoke in this video
this is incredible
This was wonderful but you could use subtitles 😊
And once again, instead of actual Sumerian you use the recording of Ammi-ditāna's Hymn to Ishtar, which is in AKKADIAN language.
I was more interested in who’s behind the visual effects characters. Should make an animated movie
Vikings, all i can say it sounds Icelandic and i need to relisten to it to recognize something resembling a Swedish, Norwegian or Danish word.
Maybe all of them said:
Hit the like button and subscribe guys 😂
😂😂
@@historiclytvsubscribed. But can you plz tell me any AI which lip sync your image with voice like you perfectly did with the voice-text?
Plz
Ancient Egypt and Roman are my fav
Can someone tell me the soundtrack in the background?
Aztech? Is that that new social media platform from Central Mexico that I've been hearing so much about? 😉😎 I hear they're going to be expanding into live streaming soon.
I believe it was also a Pontiac SUV that sold horribly because it was so ugly.
Hitit voice: Haluk Bilginer
I kinda understood that the Assyrian guy was saying, I am “Kukurash” descendant of “Name”, etc.. 😂
Kurash was the Akkadian name of Kūruš (Cyrus the Great).
How do we know what Sumerian aproximately sounded like
They do not know it!
Well not like in this video. What was spoken there is Babylonian Akkadian, not Sumerian.
And what about Sanskrit and Tamil..both were spoken about 5000 years ago..
There are script for both language..comparatively tough and complex but with deeper meaning
Can Anyone Please let me know which software is it?
Thanks in Advance

Why was the Achaemenid reciting the the prayer of Jesus of Nazareth in Aramaic? Glitch?
this video is completely wrong. the guy who supposed to speak assyria is actually speaks persian. and the persian guy who's not even look like persian and supposed to speak persian, is speak aramaic.

Wonder also what the translation is
Very very accurate

Fun fact: Sanskrit (Ancient Indian Language) is very similar to the Persian languages because of the linguistic Indo-Iranian connections. They also have some similarities in culture. For example - Asura (demon in Sanskrit), Ahura (god in ancient Iranian language). As shown it has dissimilarity also.
Akkadian sounded more closer to sanskrit.
@@josephwaft they are not related to eachother
@@savoeleft Not related, but sounded similar.
Using almost the same word for completely opposing notions as demon and god is diffinitly not a cultural affinity but the opposit😂 Indians language actually has more simmilar sounding and meaning words with latin..are you close culturally to them europeans? All this indo whatever nonesense was made by europeans. India has nothing to do with iran except the direct influence from persians in mughal era(which ironically was alot!😂)
The viking one was way off. What the hell was that 😂
Kinda interesting that Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece share similar culture.
of course we have a common culture and civilization. rome copied ancient greece in almost everything.
@@user-qm8gh3eo1uThat's right
Love it
You've mistaken Assyrian and old Persian! The Assyrian one is Cyrus the great introducing himself I could fully understand it while the one you put for the Achaemenid sounds more like a biblical scripture to me than Persian language
The Germanic dialect at the end with the deep voices are incredible! Haha so intimidating, but you can tell that's the sound of a leader and a king.
Do you have any idea how indus valley civilization language sounds like???
Like Sumerians
EXCELLENT!! Thank you! Those men were handsome also!
The Viking killed me 😂
Rome and Vikings ❤
Everyone’s hair looks awesome! 😂
I am kurdish and have the Cyrus cylinder tattooed on my arm, its cool to hear it in Assyrian 🤩
2:10 this is odd. This is Arameic version of the Lords Prayer....here shown as ancient Iranian? The text itself is from 5 centuries later...
Classical latin had no "v" sound, all the letters V were read like the "w" of "Wallet".
Bravo
EPIC! Can you please remake the Hun language? Greetings: A Hun 😁
Old Armenian, Sanskrit and Hebrew left chat 🗿🗿🗿
The Latin pronunciation is wrong because the V had a U sound in Classical Latin because V and U were not seperated but were a single letter.
Ancient assyrian is a dialect of akkadian. The achamenid in the video is actually an aramaic prayer.
@@loolool963 lol
Am I tripping or is the Akkadian’s spoken in the future as well.
2334bc - 2154ad 😂😂
Sumerians are older than that
Almost all ancient languages sound similar to me😅
The Assyrian was in fact speaking old Persian. One of the famous messages of Cyrus the Great: I am Cyrus, king of Babylon, Summer and Akkad.
He’s Persian actually
The Achaemenid one was in Aramaic; the person was praying Our Father in Heaven. The language he is speaking is what modern Assyrians speak.
1:25 the beginning of the dialogue was the hittite language, then Assyrian
