This is awesome. A proper history show with assessment and argument with reference to primary sources. This is so cool. Well done Topicus, I'm into this 👌
The first recapitulation of civilization's origins which left me with some sense of understanding. Usually these are like looking at a fraction of the pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. With no picture to work from. Well done.
It bogus the way civilization is considered starting in Sumeria with a city state but ancient Egypt has two nations combined (both full of cities) before it is considered start of civilization. Make it make sense?
The problem I have a your video is it offers little proof of your assertions. Who has made the determination and from what sources that the King list was actually a priest list? You make us assume you know what you're talking about.
Well that's a very good question thank you for asking and the answer lies within the archeology of the cities. Cities of ancient civilizations would have a government building usually a palace in some cases a senate such as in the case of Athens or Rome as well as temples as a separate building, two important branches of society coexisting within the same city. However, if we look at the archeology before around 3000 BC in cities such as Uruk or Eridu for example there is only one major building always located in the center a temple. Because we find remains of projects such as defensive walls, canals as well as the expansion of those temples dated to that time we know that a government must have existed to organize them. Therefore the administration for taxes, food for workers and materials gathered must have been organized by that central temple.

Yes even the definition of a city varies many have argued for Uruk and consider Eridu as a town
