Hey all, quick apology for the time taken to upload this video since the last one. I've been travelling in some remote places shooting more content for the channel. The good news is that I now have a window to edit up all the remaining vlogs from Iraq - lots coming in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
Jason, Since Omicron is surging in the US and preventing us from celebrating, Please continue to share your travel, how you spend and celebrate Christmas and New Year. Many thanks 🙏
We all love you and respect your opinion and gorgeous words like me ,I stand on the high places (bridge ,mountain )and watch sunrise and sunset that shake something inside me.😇
Your videos are always amazing but this Iraq videos.... Oh man... I'm speechless, beautiful country and it's people. I can't wait for another videos from Iraq. 💕🇮🇳
It is rarely found this degree of hospitality and welcoming to foreigners in Western civilization. What a great adventure Jason, thanks for showing us that there is a lovely world beyond the prejudices.
Welcome to Iraq and this is an invitation to all who watch the video to come and visit Iraq, which is not what media are filming as a beautiful country and a kind and generous people
That cat wanted to maintain his/her badass-ness by refusing to be cuddled. 😂 But seriously, that meeting building is amazing as it's built on reed and by hand! The interior was a marvel.
Wow, the reed architecture is amazing! After learning about how difficult it was to built simple bronze and Iron Age round houses, this seems doubly impressive!
Imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the marshes of Iraq, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. Now imagine sitting down to a delicious breakfast with local residents, enjoying traditional Iraqi dishes and learning about their way of life. Breakfast with locals on the marshes of Iraq is a truly unique experience that allows you to connect with the people and culture of this fascinating region. You can try dishes such as masgouf, a grilled fish that is a staple in Iraqi cuisine, along with fresh bread, olives, and other local specialties. As you eat and chat with your hosts, you will learn about their daily routines, customs, and traditions. You may even have the opportunity to go out on a boat ride through the marshes, exploring this ancient and mysterious landscape. This immersive breakfast experience is not only a chance to enjoy delicious food, but also to forge connections with the people of Iraq and gain a deeper understanding of their lives and culture. It is an experience that will stay with you long after you have finished your meal, and one that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for this beautiful and resilient country.
Such a gracious and hospitable culture. That was very soothing. These amazing traditions and often hardships of history. It can educate us all on acceptance and how to appreciate and embrace the world better. Thank you for these. Ive just discovered you on here and have always admired Wilfred Thesiger and Freya Stark. You are very skilled and measured with others. Enjoy your adventures and I see I’ve a lot to catch up on.
Just a wonderful video on a part of Iraq we do not hear about. I can tell Iraq is a vast beautiful country with very peaceful loving people. Thanks for your work Jason.
Really like how you are making your videos I see how you are trying to always learn and not judge. Thank you for showing the beautiful side of my country. My grandpa is from the marshes I was born in Baghdad ♥️♥️
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Jason . Once again an amazing and breath taking vlog . Your vlog is showing the world the deep rooted history of Iraq good and bad . Simplicity and elegance in it all . What a beautiful country with beautiful people. Shukran Ya Jason once again for this excellent vlog . May Allah continue to bless you and keep you safe in your endeavors . Looking forward for your continued vlogs !
Would have liked more information on the architecture of the “meeting place”…how long it took to build it from marsh weeds, how it was built, foundation , how often the curved reed need to be replaced, lifetime of the beautiful structure …I would have more questions about it. Maybe one day I’ll get there myself
I have been thinking about that my self Iam iraqi to but i live in sweden now and never visited iraq for 22 years, I wish one beautiful day if i go to the marshes and make i little home like that one they show and liv there the rest of my life i cant take it any more living in the city away from nature i really miss the simple life
We have a host. If you visit Iraq, I hope you will visit us. As for your questions, the construction takes less than a month, the age of the building is ten years at most, after which the reeds are replaced
كانت الاهوار جميله جدا قبل الحروب وأكثر تنظيمالكن الان هم يعيشون اوظاعا صعبه بعد أن أحرقت بيوتهم وقتل آبائهم وأبنائهم في الحروب ودفعوا ثمنا كبيرا لمقاومتهم حكم صدام نسأل الله أن يرحم بحالهم
Love what you do. Following your travels. No prejudice or cultural baggage. You and the Gus, the Danish guy are wonderful ambassadors for your respective countries.
your videos are wonderful and magic..l'd like visit a day all these beautiful countries full of history and traditions..everything is magic here..nice job and good luck 🇮🇹
Big love to Al-nesserya💗 from the middle of Iraq .I love the southern areas especially marshes and sunrise on the water .oh my gosh!I really appreciate and respect your beautiful notifications...Jason and go on .

Jason, thank you for your vidblogs in and around the areas of ancient Mesopotamia. As an Australian in the early stages of studying anthropology, I am deeply interested in the areas that are, of course, known in modernity as Iraq, Iran, Syria etc,. I would love to talk to you more deeply about your Middle Eastern adventures, before I embark upon my own. Thanks so much for your amazing travel vids, especially this one, which has a rich and ancient history.
Thankyou for taking me into the mosque 🕌 🌴 I was going to say when I lived in London I found the most amazing book in an antique shop on the Marsh Arabs. I couldn't afford it bur marvelled at how the people could build such beautiful structures out of reeds in honor of their God. So glad they have rebuilt. May they continue to build more. I can buy date syrup here in NZ but what a privilege to drink buffalo milk and have the yoghurtlike product.
Exactly 13 years ago, almost to the day, I was where you are. Of course, my circumstances were very different. I was working for the US military as a civilian contractor during a war. But seeing these images brings back many memories, far more than you can imagine. Thanks for posting. And, who knows? Maybe someday I'll get to return as a tourist.
@@becker8192 Yes, you are most welcome, brother, we are all human beings, and we must respect each other for the sake of peace and stability in this welcome
Brother, you should return, before the world gets any more... limited. Meet the present and marry it with the past - I'm sure you have good memories mixed in.
Welcome Jason in Iraq. With your Iraqi sumerian outfit , you look very handsome👍. Even the man in the marshes told you the same thing in his own way. Thank you for accepting to come to us and become a friend of our people. Thank you because your videos convey the friendship and love we have to the friendly European and American people. I hope you will visit us always.
Wonder if you could go to ancient Eridu (Abu Shahrain) - under the ruins of the Ziqqurat, is the first mudbrick temple that mankind built, seven-thousand years ago.
Jason thank you for your video! :) Really interesting! :) I did not know anything about the Mesopotamian Marches of Iraq before watching your video --- thank you for letting me know more about Iraq and the Iraqi people! :) Great video! :)
Reed houses appeared in the Sumerian tablets, how the Sumerians lived in the marshes and swamps, how livestock was transported by boat, the Sumerians lived in this place before 4500 BC and the ruins remain in the water to this day

This landscape of marshes,reeds and canals is probably the same as it was in the ancient time. It is stirring to see that. Thanks.

The method of construction in which some houses made of reeds were built in the same marshes in which the houses were built 3,000 years ago
