In the 14th century a Muslim historian named Ibn Khaldun wrote about the pattern of history. Farmers would build irrigation systems supporting villages and towns. Later some warrior would bring these towns under his rule and form a united political entity, like a kingdom or an empire. Then a tribe of nomads would come along and conquer the kingdom, seize all the holdings and settle in their place and further expand the new empire. As time went by the nomads would assimilate and become soft city dwellers. Exactly the kind of people they had conquered and at this point another tribe of nomads would come along and conquer them and take their empire. Conquest, consolidation, expansion, degeneration and conquest, this was the pattern of history.

Dear host. There are several imprecisions in this documentary. I can name them if you please. Nevertheless, it is a nice piece of work. Salutations.
@Stateira Ardeshiri Thank you, I've learned so much from you. You would be a great teacher, very infomative, you obviously know a great deal.👍👍
@Stateira Ardeshiri Persia has so many natural wonders, Iran is so beautiful that has European forests, beautiful lush valleys, and middle eastern deserts. The Persian Garden is so beautiful. Persian language, clothing, music, and dance are just amazing.
@Stateira Ardeshiri I watched all the videos, Persia has so many natural wonders, Iran has everything. Iran has European forests, beautiful green valleys, and middle eastern deserts. The Persian Garden is so beautiful. I would love to visit your beautiful country someday. The Persian language, clothing, music, and dance are beautiful.
Where did you learn this?

This video is 8 years old and still amazing and quality. I’m honestly impressed. I love this channel
Hahaha yes
Ok rattlehead
Not knocking the video but HD has been out for over a decade now so doing this is amazing but common if you put in the effort and hard work
9 years ago was 2013 btw.
What is amazing here? It's mostly basic history knowledge
When i see videos of ISIS and the Taliban defacing ancient historical monuments I absolutely cringe. The historian in me sobs like a little baby.
Problem is,isis did not start it..they are continuing the dark legacy.
@@legitdoc6241 the middle east wasnt the land of the dark age, they sruvived it, thats the sad part
Europe once had dozens of religions, hundreds of deities, mythologies and monuments and temples to each.
How many of these pagan things remained intact after Christian monotheism arrived?
what they are doing is great. Why keeping alive of those false culture? The cultures which have nothing but lies. Those should be demolished. Every pagan spots must be demolished.
Yeah, they want to relive their ancestors golden age when in fact the islamic golden age brought forth scientific advances while they're bringing the dark ages.
The only thing they got right is the warmongering.
As soon Islam came to that region everything was doomed. As a Persian I wish Islam was never born.
As a Persian I'm happy that we turned to Islam and rejected arabization. You might as well ignore our Persian history and the fact that we shined under Islam
Edit: seriously you guys saying that Islam was the doom of Persian civilization are just talking out of hatred for Islam, because no historians would say that because of Islam Persia went backwards. 😂
Sahar Arash Iran is going into stone age due to Islam
Sahar Arash stop telling jokes.islam was the doom of the persia and some other great civilizations
Islam is a religion of peace and makes a lot of logical sense. some of the local people, pagans were practicing polytheism, idolatry, and unGodly rituals. Islam set them straight. There is only one God and universal truths we have to remember.
solo sin i agreee
I _love_ the images you've chosen to illustrate your video. You have great taste in art!
I also love your accent. It's quite beautiful.

it's very offensive to be honest using the image of Sargon of Akkad and the video title is Islamic history lol. i am an atheist and i am Mesopotamian. why should it be Islamic history?
@Martin dinkha It clearly says Pre-Islamic History of the Middle East, if you read the title again.
Thank you for putting this early world history piece together. I really enjoyed it, it's so tragic that ISIS destroyed so much of it's historic artifacts.
you mean america ?
i am a Muslim and tell you: ISIS is neither Islamic! nor state.
@@user-ul3ym5ts8i جهاد الطلب
Not only that but ISIS also slaughtered over 100,000 of the already endangered Assyrians from 2014-15 alone. The 3-4 million Assyrians left are scattered in a diaspora on earth, with a very small amount of us remaining in our native land of Iraq and northeast Syria.

Wisdom from Ibn Khaldun: "Conquest, consolidation, expansion, degeneration and conquest" You describe the exact pattern of every single civilisation from antiquity. Why is it that we humans refuse to learn from our past mistakes?? Great vid!
“In Zoroastrianism, there was a hell and there was a hell” no chance for heaven?
It was obviously a slip of tongue he's also human he can makes it's fine ...
still funny...
You are in heaven now
Nope. lol. :))) But that would be a great philosophy, wouldn't it? Sums up the human condition.

thats good choice my freind
Mohammed.. is that your first and last name?
yeah why

No offense but it's kinda funny ;p
I agree. Some historians have a bias from one culture over another.
I guess an appropriate quote here would be "All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.."
And so on and so on and so on
"yes" it also makes you realise, that none of us are important at all.

This is a very clear overview from the ancient history. Very well done. Thank you.
History repeats itself and we don’t learn from it sometimes.thank you for the fantastic narration.
Very good job of condensing ancient history, and still making it interesting, thanks 🙏,
An excellent mini documentary. I learned a lot there about a period I knew little about. I love how you referenced events to more well known events happening around the same time. It puts it into context well. Credit to you.
Condensed interesting and highly informative history lesson. Excellent work.
Great work. Please include the time period in the Pre-Islamic history of the Middle East video. It will be really helpful in comparative religion and history studies.
do your own homework you little geek.

The ancient Middle East gave rise to some of the greatest empires in human history, including Mesopotamia, Babylonia, the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
Middle Eastern empires have existed in the Middle East at various periods between 5000 BCE and 1924 CE

This was so very interesting loved it.
This is wonderful. Thank you!
This was a very well made video. Very educational. I thought I know a lot about ancient history of Greek and Persians. This video showed me there was a lot I still didn’t know. Time to go do more reading on this topic.
"There was a hell and there was a hell"
Well damn, hell it is then.
Middle east was really cool before Islam. I just wish that religion was never created.
fuck off Middle east will be muslim for ever
+Erik Y yeah, the pedophile cult of Islam (curses upon it) has absolutely ruined large sections of civilization. Too bad it is so appealing to those perverted stone age losers.
So was the World before Europeans corrupted it.
+holoholo haole no ka oi
Hey I don't give a fuck about Islam, but if it wasn't for Islam and the Moors, Europe would still be in the Dark Ages. Islamic empires during the middle ages atleast allowed jews, christians, and pagans to dow what they want. Lets remember when the last time Europeans ever did that? Not to mention the Moors before they left Europe, established 70 universities. lol its thanks to my ancestors you dirty pasty asses are still alive.
+Erik Y It also was cool before Alexander came.
I find this to be very thoroughly researched, and very nicely condensed and presented, so that it is easily understood.
Nicely done!
This is excellent! It is one of my favorite subjects - the earliest civilizations, and you (briefly) covered it brilliantly. Great job! Thanks!

+Tarik360 I thought as much.
+Ser Stormcrow Yeah, I noticed that too. Obviously he meant Heaven/Hell.
Really well done and informative! Thank you!
You actually make history interesting, if not fascinating. Wish my history teaches back in high school told history more like a story to be enjoyed and learned than to get ready for some soulless test. Thank you

Thank you for making this concise and easy to follow presentation. I am a rural Ohioan (USA) who was not taught these things in our public school.
Yes, unfortunately, most of us are spoiled and ignorant. But I believe Crimea to be Russia's and not Ukraine's, both by resident population and historically, mister Ziboshchenko. Hey, what do Darth Vader's men call him, behind his back? --Vlad the Inhaler.
Chernobyl Farms
Crimea belongs to the Tartars they are the original people who settled the land and many still live in Crimea.
Since any statute of limitation has long passed since the Tatars' atrocities in expanding their Empire, perhaps the tiny remnant of their descendants may have some claim. But certainly not to reparations. They were vanquished by, who was it Catherine the Great?

can't believe this channel is so old, well done you! and thank for the content.
This was amazing, really well put together
Adding dates would make this video much better. Adding a timeline to visualize events in time sequence would make it perfect!
It works the opposite way with me, I can't visualise the sequence of events when the person keeps telling dates, but I can make it easily with the strategy he adopted in this video, just saying what was happening after what.
do you realize, of hell it would awaken??
of threads and comments.. of dispute, ,and senseless arguments.
when it comes to numbers, dates, and or $$ lol
There's tons of material that does that. This is a different approach, and I think it has its place.
soultrail7 Now now, no criticism is allowed; after all this was created by a "person of color" so we are REQUIRED to PRAISE it.
6:16 - 6:18 = "There was a hell, and there was a hell." Exactly.
6:16 "And there was a hell and there was a hell"...
obviously he meant heaven and hell , plz dont start nitpicking , we should be thankfull that he wants to spend his time making this historically accurate mini docu
ward 21 I wasn't nitpicking, just highlighting what he said in the hopes that someone will see it from where he could put up an annotation or something to clarify what he meant. Just sounded confusing; I wonder what his first language is.
I get the strong feeling it isn't English, but no matter, he speaks it well.
***** He does sound Arabic to a degree, his Facebook page tells me he's based in Azerbaijan.
I assumed he was Arabic, and from the Caucasus, but he's chosen to explain in English and he speaks English well. "Hell and Hell" is a reasonable slip to make. Zaroastrionism is one of the most severe religions the world has ever seen; like Shakerism its so extreme they don't give thereselves room to propagate and expand-- they're diying off in this generation. Yet it is one of the reasons for modern Iran's esolation.
I just LOVE everything you do. This might be the most interesting piece you've ever put together. Simply captivating!

***** lol, your forgetting the empires after the babylonians lol
***** ???? ok....
***** yes, but common day Iraq isn't the size of babylonia or Mesopotamia, infact babylonia and mesoptamia aren't really the same size.
***** that's what I said, this refutes your comment that "you have lost Iraq when you lost babylonia" which also isn't just in modernday Iraq.
This was so great, I am well versed on these subjects and it is sometime very difficult for me to explain to folks as i revert through history, and update them to explain some nearer application. You did an amazing job, thank you. I subscribed, and will share this video as often as i can.
Thank you for taking time to make this. I found it quite helpful. 👏
It would be helpful knowing approximate years or periods for the events you describe. Very interesting presentation. Well done!
back then people would refer to a point in time by naming a famous event that happened the same as the point in time your trying to point out e.g. " i was born the year the twin towers were brought down" anyone who cant estimate the point in time this event happened is either an afghan or and an alien spy from another planet.
Great presentation, very informative and educational. Thank you.

Fantastic my friend. I enjoyed it many times. Thank you
Good crisp piece of history. Well delivered.
You left out that the Romans sacked Jerusalem/Israel in 70AD.
Roman historian Cassius Dio is more reliable than judeo-christian bullshit mythology and he exposed the jews as what they really were.
Shaykh Al-Kuffari Its not bullshit its history dude. There were actual wars when Israel was a Judean country. it was from 1200 to 1000 BCE, Then again when it was re-established from 530 BCE to 70 CE .
+Rose Kahn Yes, he did. The time period was written about by the historian Flavius Josephus in "The Wars of the Jews" or "The Jewish War ". This was a very important time in history where the Romans destroyed the second temple in Jerusalem.
+Rose Kahn he also left out Armenian kingdom, and their empire expansion of 140 - 55 BC, a major empire of the region.. also the fact that their kingdom was never conquered by the alexander great.. there are some other kingdoms that he left out.. the narrator seems to be from the post-soviet country known as azerbaijan, they tend to make fictitious narratives to give historic validity to themselves for some reason.. e.g. he tried to squeeze in that name, there's no such thing as land of azerbaijan, coca cola is older than that name... there's a strange effort made these recent times by turkic authors to re-write the history, academic community is weary of this.
he left out a lot more than that...
it was mostly jargon! Turk jargon never turn your back to them...
That was really good. I enjoyed it.

Great video, thanks for your work!
Thank you for that brief history lesson. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Please note that Islam has done and will continue to do all it can to erase this history. Apparently there's more than a few instances of Mohammed wiping out other cultures/religions, and Muslims consider it holy to mimic him. For example, it was Muslims that stripped the Great Pyramids of Egypt of their white stone facing for their mosques.
wow persian empire was really progressive even for our time
Kristina кристина unfortunately Islam happened and it stoped. Just imagine how far all of civilization could’ve advanced if Islam had not happened. So much knowledge, so much history destroyed. And it continues till this day, migrating, rise in population, replacing laws , culture and so forth then conquer yet another country. And sheeple continue to let it happen because they don’t know the true history.
@Donna Ocasio
LOOOOL, THAT WAS HILARIOUS.
Which part of the video you got that???
All famous Persian scientists was Muslims, that happen while the golden ages of Islam, and if you think you can deceive people, so you only mislead the cheap kinds like you, not the intellectual people who can search and read and convert to Islam.
That mean you are a real goat live in your tiny mind.
Go to worship your fire you fuc*king disgusting racist, and leave Islam enlighten the minds of the true people who believe blacks = whites = reds = equal humankind.
