Haha yeah I hear you... was one of my motivations for putting out so many videos on ancient Mesopotamia, basically to help combat all of the misinformation out there. More on the way, thanks for stopping by and stay safe!
No worries my friend, I'll be putting out in multiple formats - shorter ones like this and also longer, especially a few podcasts, which I love because they're more informal for me. As always, thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it! More to come, stay safe!
Thanks! Yeah I'll be doing a mix of both from now on, more shorter ones like this so that I can produce them more often and then I'll supplement them with either longer videos or podcasts that have additional information.

I love your Ancient Mesopotamia playlist I have watched these videos multiple times and it never gets old. Most important it is ACCURATE. I have five books about this content and it is on point. Thank you for bringing this to the people there is nothing like it on the internet.
i already watched the longer ones but it's fun just to hear Cy's disembodied voice explain things. he could talk about vegetable facts and i'd put it on.

Thanks for the upload, dear CY. I truly adore anything from Ancient Mesopotamia, particularly Sumer and Akkad. Additionally, I have gradually acquired a particular fondness to specific Sumerian and Acadian historical and mythological figures, such as Enheduanna, Naram-Sin, Shulgi, and the great goddess of love and war - Inanna (Ishtar for the Acadians). I suspect that I have turned into one of your channel's great fans! I Indeed, I love your videos!
Yaru Qadishi dude slow down with “Ashur” as God we didn’t even conquer all of Iran, with Jesus we spread the gospel from Egypt, Iraq to be India and China. First wave of Christian in Asia’s was from Nestorian missionaries. We accomplished much more as such. IMO
@@CrookedRosePOD Jesus is falling Wayne dying Lord God Assur is coming back in Christianity is alive being thrown out of the East just likes being thrown out of the West going back to the Middle East again where it's coming back people are coming back to the True Divine again and rejecting the lies and evil of Christianity you need to slow down and think for yourself and not make false claims you're being fooled here as you were for 2,000 years now
Yaru Qadishi where was Ashur in 612 BC and why’d he disappear? Where was Ashur during the Mongolian conquest of Iraq? Where was Ashur during the Muslim invasion of Iraq?
@@CrookedRosePOD still there and he punished the people for not staying loyal to him 612 was nothing because the Babylonians were sent by him and by Lord God Marduk. Where is your false god Yahweh or Allah when Iraq gets bombed or Iraq war huh you want to play that game of where was this
Hmm, interesting, I don't know much about this topic but I can see what research is out and then possibly do something on it. Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it. More to come, stay safe!
Good to hear from you! Sorry to hear about those dang fires! Hopefully, with Fall arriving, you'll get a bit o' rain! So devastating, yet as I understand it, is really good for the soil. Maybe you all will have bumper crops this coming year! Well, all I can say is, they must have had super vision!Seeing all that micro-writing! Dang! And no magnifying glasses around! Lol! Stay well Sir and thank you so much for all you put into your videos! Yours really stand out Cy! 👏😊
I see you are asking for topics we'll be interested to see all around, so I decided to suggest some. Now, I'm passionately waiting for a Achaemenid/Sassanid video series, but I know you will eventually make one. I would love to see content about Maurya, Gupta or ancient India in general as well, though I know its a very difficult area to research. It will be cool to finish up the brief overveiws of pre-Columbian cultures and perhaps reach the Aztecs. Why not even the Inca? The native american states and empires are absolutely fascinating, because they were isolated from the rest of the world yet developed complex cultural and social systems regardless. I'm a big fan of Chinese history, but I don't know how much you personally are aware of it, so I won't pressure about this. WOULD LOVE if you expand on Ethiopian /or I guess Sudanese¿/ history with Kush and Nubia. Maybe even the African empires, like Mali and Ghana, could be reached one day? Mesopotamia is and always will be my favourite historical topic, so I won't mind videos on that as well, especially the sumerians. I would like to know more about their culture, mythology and even scientific achievments. Maybe a video on the culture of the Sumerians? Anyways, love your stuff, keep it coming. And don't overwork yourself!
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, your feedback and suggestions, really appreciate them! Haha love your screen name as well. Achaemenid, Parthian, Sasanian, for sure, the latter two in 2021. I'll also cover India as well, though how (as one large episode or in smaller chunks) remains to be seen. Do you have a preference? Short episodes would be easier but India is such a vast and diverse country that it may be hard for one to get the big picture if only in small installments. With regard to China, will slowly be inching in with the Xiongnu in Chinese sources. Africa too but the subjects you mention come a bit later in the timeline, so it'll probably a while. I'll do my best though to speed all this up (hence some of these shorter episodes). And of course, the Near East will always be covered in some form. With regard to Sargon and Cyprus, there is a mention of it in one of the epics/stories of Sargon, that he received tribute from its king after he supposedly reached the Mediterranean Sea. The only material evidence of an old Akkadian presence that I know of is a cylinder seal that was found in 1876 in Curium of Naram-Sin. It's mentioned in Benjamin Foster's book "Age of Agade," though he brings up those who have rightly challenged an Akkadian presence on Cyprus based solely on this seal. Others maintain that it could have been a seal of a different Naram-Sin, though in my opinion this is unlikely because to my knowledge, we only know of one other Naram-Sin, and that's Naram-Sin of Eshnunna, the great rival of Shamshi-Adad I of Ekallatum/Assyria. I admit, it's hard to prove an actual Akkadian presence there, which is also why I also put in the caption, "territories and tributaries." I'll try to see if I can find more on this topic. Thanks again for stopping by, really thrilled that you're enjoying the content on the channel...stay safe!
Thank you, Cy. This is a very useful video for people like me who are not scholars, yet have a keen interest in the history of the ANE. I'd say, too, that it's very useful for anyone interested in history generally. It's important for people to know that history, not matter the time or place studied, shows that change is the constant, that over the course of time the languages of regions change, their ethnic compositions change, their cultures and rulers and religions change. If there are eternals, we hope that they are human values held by all: compassion, mercy, humility, and tolerance, as well as courage, temperance, and patience. War and violence have always been with us, but so have the virtues that have preserved humanity for as long as they have.
Well said and I agree! I'm glad that you found this useful and hopefully future episodes will be the same. If there are any other related topics that you'd like to see in this sort of shorter format, please don't hesitate to let me know. As always, thanks so much for your continued support of the channel, really appreciate it and always enjoy reading your insightful and thought-provoking comments. Stay safe my friend!
Yes you are absolutely right people do change. Now, the people of Mesopotamia are not the descendants of the civilized ones eight hundreds years ago. There have been demographic changes since the Mongolian invasion, and now most of the people in the the region are of indian and African origins, and others of mixed race with the originals . The very originals are minority now. A thousand years ago there was a university in Baghdad that teaches thirty kinds of science, called the House of Wisdom, but was destroyed by the savage Mongolians.
Yay! Another Cy Video ❣ I just saw you pop up and I had to say, 'hi'❣ I see you've been working hard❣ I loved reading comments❣ With 54k subs, it's wonderful to see you getting the views you deserve (considering all you put into your craft)❣ I've saved your video for a 'special evening' because it's almost 1:30 a.m. I just flew through because I saw you pop up and I wanted to say, hi❣ Have a nice day tomorrow and thank you as always for all you do Cy❣👋🏻😷
Thanks so much and great to hear from you! All good over here, just dodging the latest round of wildfires, this last one came kind of close but fortunately we're all safe and it's pretty much under control. Thanks so much, yeah the channel's growing thanks to all of you. Hope all is well on your end in Seattle. Stay safe my friend and as always, really appreciate the support!
Good Job! I usually only watch these short summaries as refreshers to what I have learneded :) The only thing you didn't research is that the Sumerians themselves say they came from the east. Jiroft? Dilmun? or the Indus Valley (Luristan? Sindh? Rajasthan? Rann kutch?) I say Indus Valley based on genetic studies and Y haplogroups? Cheers!
@@HistorywithCy I’m trying to understand Bronze Age civilizations as they emerged and interacted with one another in chronological order. The specific civilizations I’m interested in are Egypt (old/middle/new) Kingdoms, Indus Valley Civilization (Harappans), Minoans/Mycenean Greeks, Hittites, and China (Xia/Shang Dynasty). I’ve seen your previous videos on some of these civilizations and they provide a great amount of detail. I believe If you made a series of summaries like this on Bronze Age civilizations in chronological order it would help people gain an overall understanding of the timeline. Once viewers are able to see everything from a macro sense, they’ll know where to go for a more micro understanding of specific periods which you’ve already made. I recommend this for selfish reasons but I believe it would help others than myself. Thanks for taking the time to respond and please keep up the good work.
@@fallout187 Thanks for the advice and feedback. Yeah I'll be doing these in chronological order for Mesopotamia for sure and probably also for Greek, which I want to start in the next month or two. I can do small summaries for the Hittites as well. Egypt is just so huge and so much to cover in a short program but I can try it. Thanks again for the suggestions, appreciate them and the feedback. Stay safe!
Most of us love books.Most of people read few pages of books then put book aside. Thats how my interest in ancient history grew coz those first few pages have early periods of human history. Egypt, Mesopotamia, Sindh(region north of India).
Haha so I guess it won't be "in minutes" for you...sorry about that. Thanks for trying though. Yeah that sometimes used to happen to me as well, mostly at night when I guess more people are online and the bandwidth gets taken up (at least I think that's why it was happening). Thanks for the stopping by though, really appreciate it! More to come soon, stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy Unfortunately it was an error on AT&Ts part so we had to wait for them fix it. Really sucked. Wasn’t going to stop me from watching this video, although it did take a good half hour to watch.
@@connorgolden4 Thanks man, I'm honored that you took the time to watch this, means a lot! I'll be sure to make future episodes worth your while as well. Thank you and please let me know if there are other related topics you'd be interested in and I'll see what I can do. Stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy As I’ve mentioned before I’d love to see a video/videos on egypt between the end of the new kingdom and the conquest of Egypt by the Persians. Or maybe a video on an wit Israel. Or the Mycenaeans and Minoans.
It is interesting to see the Stele of Ur Nammu as Ur was the main trading port of the Sumerians, But notice at the top of the Stele the Cresant Moon as this is also the shape used by the traders of Ur for their Reed Boats used to trade with ancient Oman for cooper as well as trading into Mohenjo Daro in the Indus valley. So what was the link in this Stele with Ur and Ur Nammu?
I've seen that you corrected a small mistake you made on your Umma vs Lagash video. There you said that Eannatum only conquered Umma, and that Lugalzagesi conquered all of Sumer. In this one you mentioned that Eannatum conquered most of Sumer, which in my opinion is more accurate. Great video as always!!!
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it! Oh, I didn't realize that. Haven't seen that video in a while so I forget the specifics of what or how I presented it, but I may not have mentioned the other areas because I was focused on the specific conflict with Umma. However, you're right, it would have been good to have mentioned those as well. Thanks for the head's up, appreciate it!
One of the most interesting thing is that each of these "mythical" kings ruled for a number of years that are divisible by 3600 years. No one comments because no one has come up with any idea why without involving aliens
You know, I can't say that this was bad, because it was great, but I still prefer your bigger, more complete videos. Anyway, good luck on this new project!
Thanks my friend, really appreciate it! Yeah this is just a short series for people who don't have much time to go through longer videos but are interested in learning this stuff. No worries, I'll still be doing longer videos on many more topics. As always, thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it. More to come, stay safe!
I mean if you look at earliest human settlements they not far from Africa thus connecting history to pre historical periods stone ages anthropology, natural history an stuf
5:07 If we replace Years with Days, then... 28,800 Days = 79 Years 36,000 Days = 98 Years 43,200 Days = 118 Years That actually sounds more reasonable. Abraham from the Bible lived to be 175 Years Old.
I bet you Cy the only thing more exciting than your videos would be digging for artefacts in the land of the rivers😁😁😁 gr8 job my friend keep them coming.
Haha thanks, I knew you'd be a fan of this series! So much more I want to cover - no plans of stopping, just need more time! Hope all is well on your side of the pond, stay safe!
As a large nose person I wonder if my ancestor came from Sumerians 😮the reason why I wonder 💭 is in their drawings everyone seems to have large noses 😮
Hi, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it and your question! No, not to my knowledge. If we're speaking specifically of a city (not settlement like Gobeki Tepe for example), then scholars usually cite Jericho as being the oldest. In Mesopotamia, it would likely be Eridu or Uruk (tradition and the various king lists maintain that it's Eridu). Thanks so much for your interest in this stuff, really glad there are people like you asking such questions. Thanks again, stay safe!
8:23 Does that means that even during Parthian rule Sumerian was still being taught in scribal schools? And if so, in which cities? Because I thought that by that point the ancient Sumerian cities (Ur, Uruk, Eridu and others) had all but been abandoned.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and your question. So like @Shenoron67, Sumerian/Akkadian were still being taught in scribal schools in Uruk, which had not been completely abandoned by then. However, it was also taught in Babylon. Though Seleucus I Nicator more or less forcibly relocated Babylon's population to his new capital, Seleucia (on Tigris), the city's religious establishment was allowed to remain and carry out religious practices there, which probably carried on for a century or two after, hence the preserving the use of Sumerian-Akkadian. Interestingly, a similar thing also happened in Ashur where a small temple was found there (dedicated to the god Ashur) that dates from Parthian times, though there I believe they only found Akkadian-language docs. Thanks for the question and glad you're interested in this stuff. More to come, stay safe!
According to the historians referring to these similar language facts, Sumerian is an ancient Turkish language. Although Sumerian language has common typological peculiarities with Altay languages, this theory has been put forward for the first time by a historian named Julius Oppert
@@yrebrac Haha probably not unless it's something really spammy or offensive. Ah, the almighty algorithm... works in such mysterious ways. Hope all is well on your end and all the best for 2021! Stay safe!
Sumerians may have moved to the area from areas further south that are now under the waters of the Persian/Arabian Gulf. They would have been forced to move by the rising ocean waters.
According to the Christian Bible, Jewish Torah, and Muslim Quran, Abraham was born, educated, and became a priest in Ur of the Chaldees. There’s no evidence for anything in any of the Abrahamic holy books. But if you’re willing to accept what they say, then Abraham left Ur for Hanan, then to Canaan.
The Sumerians-Last of the Andites When the last Andite dispersion broke the biologic backbone of Mesopotamian civilization, a small minority of this superior race remained in their homeland near the mouths of the rivers. These were the Sumerians, and by 6000 B.C. they had become largely Andite in extraction, though their culture was more exclusively Nodite in character, and they clung to the ancient traditions of Dalamatia. Nonetheless, these Sumerians of the coastal regions were the last of the Andites in Mesopotamia. But the races of Mesopotamia were already thoroughly blended by this late date, as is evidenced by the skull types found in the graves of this era. It was during the floodtimes that Susa so greatly prospered. The first and lower city was inundated so that the second or higher town succeeded the lower as the headquarters for the peculiar artcrafts of that day. With the later diminution of these floods, Ur became the center of the pottery industry. About seven thousand years ago Ur was on the Persian Gulf, the river deposits having since built up the land to its present limits. These settlements suffered less from the floods because of better controlling works and the widening mouths of the rivers. The peaceful grain growers of the Euphrates and Tigris valleys had long been harassed by the raids of the barbarians of Turkestan and the Iranian plateau. But now a concerted invasion of the Euphrates valley was brought about by the increasing drought of the highland pastures. And this invasion was all the more serious because these surrounding herdsmen and hunters possessed large numbers of tamed horses. It was the possession of horses which gave them a tremendous military advantage over their rich neighbors to the south. In a short time they overran all Mesopotamia, driving forth the last waves of culture which spread out over all of Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. These conquerors of Mesopotamia carried in their ranks many of the better Andite strains of the mixed northern races of Turkestan, including some of the Adamson stock. These less advanced but more vigorous tribes from the north quickly and willingly assimilated the residue of the civilization of Mesopotamia and presently developed into those mixed peoples found in the Euphrates valley at the beginning of historic annals. They quickly revived many phases of the passing civilization of Mesopotamia, adopting the arts of the valley tribes and much of the culture of the Sumerians. They even sought to build a third tower of Babel and later adopted the term as their national name. When these barbarian cavalrymen from the northeast overran the whole Euphrates valley, they did not conquer the remnants of the Andites who dwelt about the mouth of the river on the Persian Gulf. These Sumerians were able to defend themselves because of superior intelligence, better weapons, and their extensive system of military canals, which were an adjunct to their irrigation scheme of interconnecting pools. They were a united people because they had a uniform group religion. They were thus able to maintain their racial and national integrity long after their neighbors to the northwest were broken up into isolated city-states. No one of these city groups was able to overcome the united Sumerians. And the invaders from the north soon learned to trust and prize these peace-loving Sumerians as able teachers and administrators. They were greatly respected and sought after as teachers of art and industry, as directors of commerce, and as civil rulers by all peoples to the north and from Egypt in the west to India in the east. After the breakup of the early Sumerian confederation the later city-states were ruled by the apostate descendants of the Sethite priests. Only when these priests made conquests of the neighboring cities did they call themselves kings. The later city kings failed to form powerful confederations before the days of Sargon because of deity jealousy. Each city believed its municipal god to be superior to all other gods, and therefore they refused to subordinate themselves to a common leader. The end of this long period of the weak rule of the city priests was terminated by Sargon, the priest of Kish, who proclaimed himself king and started out on the conquest of the whole of Mesopotamia and adjoining lands. And for the time, this ended the city-states, priest-ruled and priest-ridden, each city having its own municipal god and its own ceremonial practices. After the breakup of this Kish confederation there ensued a long period of constant warfare between these valley cities for supremacy. And the rulership variously shifted between Sumer, Akkad, Kish, Erech, Ur, and Susa. About 2500 B.C. the Sumerians suffered severe reverses at the hands of the northern Suites and Guites. Lagash, the Sumerian capital built on flood mounds, fell. Erech held out for thirty years after the fall of Akkad. By the time of the establishment of the rule of Hammurabi the Sumerians had become absorbed into the ranks of the northern Semites, and the Mesopotamian Andites passed from the pages of history. From 2500 to 2000 B.C. the nomads were on a rampage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Nerites constituted the final eruption of the Caspian group of the Mesopotamian descendants of the blended Andonite and Andite races. What the barbarians failed to do to effect the ruination of Mesopotamia, subsequent climatic changes succeeded in accomplishing. And this is the story of the violet race after the days of Adam and of the fate of their homeland between the Tigris and Euphrates. Their ancient civilization finally fell due to the emigration of superior peoples and the immigration of their inferior neighbors. But long before the barbarian cavalrymen conquered the valley, much of the Garden culture had spread to Asia, Africa, and Europe, there to produce the ferments which have resulted in the twentieth-century civilization of Urantia. Ref. The Urantia Book
In my opinion they weren't just bullshitting in the earlier parts of the king's list, many old text say the same thing that these chosen kings by the gods rules for thousands of years, maybe they had knowledge on how to live longer lost or kept a secret to us
The 'sudden' civilization the Sumerians baffles the archaeologist, historians etc. but to some it is clear - its not Myth but from other wordly beings.
@@morbidclash I know trolling is fun, sometimes.., but can you tell us any credible historian, archaeologist or researcher/s tht can present a rational, logical explanation of the Sumerian kings list ? I'm assuming you know some...., or perhaps my assumption is incorrect.🤔

Unfortunately, it seems so much of history/evidence seems to have been destroyed by conquerors/invaders thru time. It'd be nice to know what the truth of it all is.
The bible and other archeological resources Record a massive siege happening at Babylon, and it was Belshazzar who fought against the Persians, the Persians dug tunnels under the gates of Babylon and went in the city and bloody battle happened and Belshazzar died fighting. After this, than the Persian King granted peace in Babylon and had respect towards the city for its religion being the same as his belief. I think Ashur and Enlil and Ahuru Mazda are the same Gods with different names for each nationality.
I am from Iraq, from the city of Nasiriyah. Ur, the capital of the Sumerians. Iraq contains enormous monuments and is the cradle of civilizations. Unfortunately, no one is interested in her. Nobody cares about the antiquities department in Iraq. You know that the antiquities discovered in Iraq are only 10/100. If you excavated, there would have been a great change and a look at the ancient Iraqi civilization. With you is one of the archeology students in Nasiriyah, Abbas Rahman. Ur, the city of the Prophet of God, Ibrahim, pbuh. Thanks, my dear
They look like Canaanites, isn’t Ur where Abraham came from? Maybe that’s just a story of a tribe that left the Samarians and joined the Canaanites to become the Israelites?

Get your head out of sci-fi and look at reality for one's this has nothing to do with aliens ever or any other ass pulling claimed its anti Mesopotamia or anti Sumer.
Sumerian was kurd and glgamesh was kurdish gil means nation or people and gamesh means the female of ox and read soran hama rashid book then u know that Sumeri was Kurd and similar language 469 common word and more similar words and term sorani taken and came from sumeri term after islam came kurds separated the term sumeri changed to sorani. and they are aryan just like kurds
but not that it is all that important why are ny country men called Surinamers...(that's just a couple of letters in the same word re-arranged)😂and why is the country named Suriname I doubt that history has all correct about ancient history, their actual locations and the origins of their people's 😊

Well, all I can say is, they must have had super vision!Seeing all that micro-writing! Dang! And no magnifying glasses around! Lol!
Stay well Sir and thank you so much for all you put into your videos! Yours really stand out Cy! 👏😊
Aw man. I have time for longer programmes. Go on. Please.
I see you are asking for topics we'll be interested to see all around, so I decided to suggest some.
Now, I'm passionately waiting for a Achaemenid/Sassanid video series, but I know you will eventually make one.
I would love to see content about Maurya, Gupta or ancient India in general as well, though I know its a very difficult area to research.
It will be cool to finish up the brief overveiws of pre-Columbian cultures and perhaps reach the Aztecs. Why not even the Inca? The native american states and empires are absolutely fascinating, because they were isolated from the rest of the world yet developed complex cultural and social systems regardless.
I'm a big fan of Chinese history, but I don't know how much you personally are aware of it, so I won't pressure about this.
WOULD LOVE if you expand on Ethiopian /or I guess Sudanese¿/ history with Kush and Nubia. Maybe even the African empires, like Mali and Ghana, could be reached one day?
Mesopotamia is and always will be my favourite historical topic, so I won't mind videos on that as well, especially the sumerians. I would like to know more about their culture, mythology and even scientific achievments. Maybe a video on the culture of the Sumerians?
Anyways, love your stuff, keep it coming. And don't overwork yourself!
Also; at 7:13 - did Sargon actually conquer Cyprus? Never knew about that.
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, your feedback and suggestions, really appreciate them! Haha love your screen name as well. Achaemenid, Parthian, Sasanian, for sure, the latter two in 2021. I'll also cover India as well, though how (as one large episode or in smaller chunks) remains to be seen. Do you have a preference? Short episodes would be easier but India is such a vast and diverse country that it may be hard for one to get the big picture if only in small installments. With regard to China, will slowly be inching in with the Xiongnu in Chinese sources. Africa too but the subjects you mention come a bit later in the timeline, so it'll probably a while. I'll do my best though to speed all this up (hence some of these shorter episodes). And of course, the Near East will always be covered in some form.
With regard to Sargon and Cyprus, there is a mention of it in one of the epics/stories of Sargon, that he received tribute from its king after he supposedly reached the Mediterranean Sea. The only material evidence of an old Akkadian presence that I know of is a cylinder seal that was found in 1876 in Curium of Naram-Sin. It's mentioned in Benjamin Foster's book "Age of Agade," though he brings up those who have rightly challenged an Akkadian presence on Cyprus based solely on this seal. Others maintain that it could have been a seal of a different Naram-Sin, though in my opinion this is unlikely because to my knowledge, we only know of one other Naram-Sin, and that's Naram-Sin of Eshnunna, the great rival of Shamshi-Adad I of Ekallatum/Assyria. I admit, it's hard to prove an actual Akkadian presence there, which is also why I also put in the caption, "territories and tributaries."
I'll try to see if I can find more on this topic. Thanks again for stopping by, really thrilled that you're enjoying the content on the channel...stay safe!
Big unanswered question: where were those other earlier civilizations that predated the Sumerian?
Forgotten in the lost passages of time.
Thank you, Cy. This is a very useful video for people like me who are not scholars, yet have a keen interest in the history of the ANE. I'd say, too, that it's very useful for anyone interested in history generally. It's important for people to know that history, not matter the time or place studied, shows that change is the constant, that over the course of time the languages of regions change, their ethnic compositions change, their cultures and rulers and religions change. If there are eternals, we hope that they are human values held by all: compassion, mercy, humility, and tolerance, as well as courage, temperance, and patience. War and violence have always been with us, but so have the virtues that have preserved humanity for as long as they have.
Well said and I agree! I'm glad that you found this useful and hopefully future episodes will be the same. If there are any other related topics that you'd like to see in this sort of shorter format, please don't hesitate to let me know. As always, thanks so much for your continued support of the channel, really appreciate it and always enjoy reading your insightful and thought-provoking comments. Stay safe my friend!
Yes you are absolutely right people do change. Now, the people of Mesopotamia are not the descendants of the civilized ones eight hundreds years ago. There have been demographic changes since the Mongolian invasion, and now most of the people in the the region are of indian and African origins, and others of mixed race with the originals . The very originals are minority now. A thousand years ago there was a university in Baghdad that teaches thirty kinds of science, called the House of Wisdom, but was destroyed by the savage Mongolians.

thank its amazing Im from south iraq this video is great about civilization
Good Job! I usually only watch these short summaries as refreshers to what I have learneded :) The only thing you didn't research is that the Sumerians themselves say they came from the east. Jiroft? Dilmun? or the Indus Valley (Luristan? Sindh? Rajasthan? Rann kutch?) I say Indus Valley based on genetic studies and Y haplogroups? Cheers!
forgot Baluchistan
Great video as always. If possible, could you make videos like this for all of the civilizations from the early to the late Bronze Age?
Hi, thanks for stopping by, appreciate it! Sure, any particular ones that you have in mind? Thanks.
@@HistorywithCy I’m trying to understand Bronze Age civilizations as they emerged and interacted with one another in chronological order.
The specific civilizations I’m interested in are Egypt (old/middle/new) Kingdoms, Indus Valley Civilization (Harappans), Minoans/Mycenean Greeks, Hittites, and China (Xia/Shang Dynasty).
I’ve seen your previous videos on some of these civilizations and they provide a great amount of detail.
I believe If you made a series of summaries like this on Bronze Age civilizations in chronological order it would help people gain an overall understanding of the timeline.
Once viewers are able to see everything from a macro sense, they’ll know where to go for a more micro understanding of specific periods which you’ve already made.
I recommend this for selfish reasons but I believe it would help others than myself. Thanks for taking the time to respond and please keep up the good work.
@@fallout187 Thanks for the advice and feedback. Yeah I'll be doing these in chronological order for Mesopotamia for sure and probably also for Greek, which I want to start in the next month or two. I can do small summaries for the Hittites as well. Egypt is just so huge and so much to cover in a short program but I can try it. Thanks again for the suggestions, appreciate them and the feedback. Stay safe!

It is interesting to see the Stele of Ur Nammu as Ur was the main trading port of the Sumerians, But notice at the top of the Stele the Cresant Moon as this is also the shape used by the traders of Ur for their Reed Boats used to trade with ancient Oman for cooper as well as trading into Mohenjo Daro in the Indus valley. So what was the link in this Stele with Ur and Ur Nammu?
Thanks bud.
No, thank you!
I've seen that you corrected a small mistake you made on your Umma vs Lagash video. There you said that Eannatum only conquered Umma, and that Lugalzagesi conquered all of Sumer. In this one you mentioned that Eannatum conquered most of Sumer, which in my opinion is more accurate. Great video as always!!!
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it! Oh, I didn't realize that. Haven't seen that video in a while so I forget the specifics of what or how I presented it, but I may not have mentioned the other areas because I was focused on the specific conflict with Umma. However, you're right, it would have been good to have mentioned those as well. Thanks for the head's up, appreciate it!
Sargon changing the language is probably the tower of babel event.
One of the most interesting thing is that each of these "mythical" kings ruled for a number of years that are divisible by 3600 years. No one comments because no one has come up with any idea why without involving aliens
Chaldean iraqi and proud.
Could you do some like a few hours

Very helpful, thank you
No problem, glad it was useful!
great video as always but I have a question wasn't Susa the oldest city ???? I'll be glad if you can answer.👍👍👍👍
Hi, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it and your question! No, not to my knowledge. If we're speaking specifically of a city (not settlement like Gobeki Tepe for example), then scholars usually cite Jericho as being the oldest. In Mesopotamia, it would likely be Eridu or Uruk (tradition and the various king lists maintain that it's Eridu).
Thanks so much for your interest in this stuff, really glad there are people like you asking such questions. Thanks again, stay safe!

Does that means that even during Parthian rule Sumerian was still being taught in scribal schools? And if so, in which cities? Because I thought that by that point the ancient Sumerian cities (Ur, Uruk, Eridu and others) had all but been abandoned.
The most recent tablet was found in Uruk and made in 108 BC. We have some more recent but they are just astrological record.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and your question. So like @Shenoron67, Sumerian/Akkadian were still being taught in scribal schools in Uruk, which had not been completely abandoned by then. However, it was also taught in Babylon. Though Seleucus I Nicator more or less forcibly relocated Babylon's population to his new capital, Seleucia (on Tigris), the city's religious establishment was allowed to remain and carry out religious practices there, which probably carried on for a century or two after, hence the preserving the use of Sumerian-Akkadian. Interestingly, a similar thing also happened in Ashur where a small temple was found there (dedicated to the god Ashur) that dates from Parthian times, though there I believe they only found Akkadian-language docs.
Thanks for the question and glad you're interested in this stuff. More to come, stay safe!
@@Shenron67 Thanks! (You too Cy)
Thank you very much! Great education I hope all Chinese people watch.
The link to the quiz does not seem to work. Can you share it again in a reply, please?
According to the historians referring to these similar language facts, Sumerian is an ancient Turkish language. Although Sumerian language has common typological peculiarities with Altay languages, this theory has been put forward for the first time by a historian named Julius Oppert

Sumerians may have moved to the area from areas further south that are now under the waters of the Persian/Arabian Gulf. They would have been forced to move by the rising ocean waters.
they moved north to caucasia.the kartvelian langauge and sumerian is very connected.Also the svans and sumerians worshipped the same sun god
UR and EA coming together is possibly a separating forcerather than full impact of the two together. Ask a urologist.
Is it true that Abraham studied in Babylon? I mean is there any evidence or was that just a hypothesis ?
According to the Christian Bible, Jewish Torah, and Muslim Quran, Abraham was born, educated, and became a priest in Ur of the Chaldees.
There’s no evidence for anything in any of the Abrahamic holy books. But if you’re willing to accept what they say, then Abraham left Ur for Hanan, then to Canaan.
The Sumerians-Last of the Andites
When the last Andite dispersion broke the biologic backbone of Mesopotamian civilization, a small minority of this superior race remained in their homeland near the mouths of the rivers. These were the Sumerians, and by 6000 B.C. they had become largely Andite in extraction, though their culture was more exclusively Nodite in character, and they clung to the ancient traditions of Dalamatia. Nonetheless, these Sumerians of the coastal regions were the last of the Andites in Mesopotamia. But the races of Mesopotamia were already thoroughly blended by this late date, as is evidenced by the skull types found in the graves of this era.
It was during the floodtimes that Susa so greatly prospered. The first and lower city was inundated so that the second or higher town succeeded the lower as the headquarters for the peculiar artcrafts of that day. With the later diminution of these floods, Ur became the center of the pottery industry. About seven thousand years ago Ur was on the Persian Gulf, the river deposits having since built up the land to its present limits. These settlements suffered less from the floods because of better controlling works and the widening mouths of the rivers.
The peaceful grain growers of the Euphrates and Tigris valleys had long been harassed by the raids of the barbarians of Turkestan and the Iranian plateau. But now a concerted invasion of the Euphrates valley was brought about by the increasing drought of the highland pastures. And this invasion was all the more serious because these surrounding herdsmen and hunters possessed large numbers of tamed horses. It was the possession of horses which gave them a tremendous military advantage over their rich neighbors to the south. In a short time they overran all Mesopotamia, driving forth the last waves of culture which spread out over all of Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa.
These conquerors of Mesopotamia carried in their ranks many of the better Andite strains of the mixed northern races of Turkestan, including some of the Adamson stock. These less advanced but more vigorous tribes from the north quickly and willingly assimilated the residue of the civilization of Mesopotamia and presently developed into those mixed peoples found in the Euphrates valley at the beginning of historic annals. They quickly revived many phases of the passing civilization of Mesopotamia, adopting the arts of the valley tribes and much of the culture of the Sumerians. They even sought to build a third tower of Babel and later adopted the term as their national name.
When these barbarian cavalrymen from the northeast overran the whole Euphrates valley, they did not conquer the remnants of the Andites who dwelt about the mouth of the river on the Persian Gulf. These Sumerians were able to defend themselves because of superior intelligence, better weapons, and their extensive system of military canals, which were an adjunct to their irrigation scheme of interconnecting pools. They were a united people because they had a uniform group religion. They were thus able to maintain their racial and national integrity long after their neighbors to the northwest were broken up into isolated city-states. No one of these city groups was able to overcome the united Sumerians.
And the invaders from the north soon learned to trust and prize these peace-loving Sumerians as able teachers and administrators. They were greatly respected and sought after as teachers of art and industry, as directors of commerce, and as civil rulers by all peoples to the north and from Egypt in the west to India in the east.
After the breakup of the early Sumerian confederation the later city-states were ruled by the apostate descendants of the Sethite priests. Only when these priests made conquests of the neighboring cities did they call themselves kings. The later city kings failed to form powerful confederations before the days of Sargon because of deity jealousy. Each city believed its municipal god to be superior to all other gods, and therefore they refused to subordinate themselves to a common leader.
The end of this long period of the weak rule of the city priests was terminated by Sargon, the priest of Kish, who proclaimed himself king and started out on the conquest of the whole of Mesopotamia and adjoining lands. And for the time, this ended the city-states, priest-ruled and priest-ridden, each city having its own municipal god and its own ceremonial practices.
After the breakup of this Kish confederation there ensued a long period of constant warfare between these valley cities for supremacy. And the rulership variously shifted between Sumer, Akkad, Kish, Erech, Ur, and Susa.
About 2500 B.C. the Sumerians suffered severe reverses at the hands of the northern Suites and Guites. Lagash, the Sumerian capital built on flood mounds, fell. Erech held out for thirty years after the fall of Akkad. By the time of the establishment of the rule of Hammurabi the Sumerians had become absorbed into the ranks of the northern Semites, and the Mesopotamian Andites passed from the pages of history.
From 2500 to 2000 B.C. the nomads were on a rampage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Nerites constituted the final eruption of the Caspian group of the Mesopotamian descendants of the blended Andonite and Andite races. What the barbarians failed to do to effect the ruination of Mesopotamia, subsequent climatic changes succeeded in accomplishing.
And this is the story of the violet race after the days of Adam and of the fate of their homeland between the Tigris and Euphrates. Their ancient civilization finally fell due to the emigration of superior peoples and the immigration of their inferior neighbors. But long before the barbarian cavalrymen conquered the valley, much of the Garden culture had spread to Asia, Africa, and Europe, there to produce the ferments which have resulted in the twentieth-century civilization of Urantia. Ref. The Urantia Book
In my opinion they weren't just bullshitting in the earlier parts of the king's list, many old text say the same thing that these chosen kings by the gods rules for thousands of years, maybe they had knowledge on how to live longer lost or kept a secret to us
The 'sudden' civilization the Sumerians baffles the archaeologist, historians etc. but to some it is clear - its not Myth but from other wordly beings.

The bible and other archeological resources Record a massive siege happening at Babylon, and it was Belshazzar who fought against the Persians, the Persians dug tunnels under the gates of Babylon and went in the city and bloody battle happened and Belshazzar died fighting. After this, than the Persian King granted peace in Babylon and had respect towards the city for its religion being the same as his belief.
