Notes:
* = The Sealand Dynasty never actually controlled the city of Babylon, but by convention it is always considered the Second Dynasty of Babylonia.
** = The Eighth Dynasty of Babylonia is a poorly understood period, and it's likely that multiple dynasties ruled during this time. However, due to lack of information, it is classed as one dynasty.
So this will probably end up being a three-part series, with the other two videos covering later periods in Middle Eastern history. At the moment, I'm expecting them to be:
Part 1: 3500 BCE - 513 BCE (Ancient Era)
Part 2: 513 BCE - 650 CE (Classical Era)
Part 3: 650 CE - 2020 (Medieval/Modern Era)

Good luck!

Ollie Bye, do you have any news on the Thirty Years War series?
The end really shows the historic importance of the Achaemenid empire. It was unprecedented. For someone living in ancient Mesopotamia, it would seem as if almost the whole world came to be under one king.
Yes , Achaemenid Empire was ruling over 45% of world's population , and after them no Empire could rule on this high percentage of world population again
@@sonofpersia4780 how Achaemenid controlled so fast all regions ?
@Joey Sims But it's for me impossible to think how this army destroyed complete Nordafrica Anatolia and Middle East in this small period.
@@sonofpersia4780 No they did not, this 45% figure is untenable, China and India at this time had already a lot of people and most of Europe, South-East Asia and half of the Americas were already agricultural too.
@@g-rexsaurus794 not a lot. Persia had the largest population of that time. 45% seems small figure tbh. I think it could've been above 50%
I've only looked at the thumbnail and I can already see the immense effort and great quality.
I like how these tiny kingdoms spend millennia fighting over bits of land, and then the Achaemenids just swoop in and eat the whole thing for breakfast.
Well Cyrus the great introduced blitzkrieg to the ancient world, using highly mobile cavalry. His military genius is often over looked. You can't just take all of that if you are not a gifted general.
@@justacrow9847 his generally tolerant and lenient governing style helped a bunch too.
There's a reason he's praised very heavily in Jewish texts and the Old Testament of the Bible.
Wat Tyler and then he got fucked by the Scythians Lmfaoooo
It is because the, Babylonians, Assyrians Egyptians and Israelites were exhausted because of the long intense wars between them.
the Assyrians really set the field for them though
The Achaemenid Empire was the first time "the whole" world was united under one crown. People living under it never thought that it could fall, because, how can the unifiers of the world be conquered by something else?
then Alexander came around
Cyrus the Great: I am the first King to unite a large part of the world under one unified state, no other state or ruler before me has been able to conquer lands to this extent, my Achaemenid kingdom will last forever.
Alexander the Great: _Super Saiyan_
@@SxVaNm345 And then Alexander conquered the world in a decade...
The Achaemenid Empire just replaced the Assyrian Empire, and took over what Assyria left behind, a perfected imperial system.
They knew for sure they were not all the world

Eh, technically the ancestors of the Turks are already sitting in Anatolia in this video. By and large they are extremely old (as in "Hittite-old") populations that have just adopted the language of their most recent conquerors.
That is true for Egypt too. Egyptians considered themselves as Arabs. Ancients Egyptian no longer exist.
Dariush Pezhmannia Coptic Christians will beg to differ. They are in fact genetically distinct from other Arab speaking people across Egypt and other North African nations. So they’re probably fairly close to the pre-Islamic conquest population.

damn you, sea people
one of the fascinating thing about Achaemenid empire was the fact they were so powerful that they didn't make walls around their capital, because they never thought no one will come this far.
of course it was true for centuries.
*_They built walls around Susa (Their Administrative Winter capital) and Ecbatana (Haŋmatāna) (their Summer capital) and repaired and enlarged the walls of Babylon. The only city which I was not sure of is Persepolis (Parsākhata) and Pasargadae (Pāθra-gadā)._*
That wasn't their main capital....

it's still insane to me how we know as much as we do about peoples and histories this old and how complex and large scale their socities were. Also, how insanely old and stable ancient Egypt was. I know Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landings than to the construction of the pyramids of Giza, but it's still insane that was that long ago.
Ancient Egypt was a pretty isolated kingdom also, it was in fact unstable at some point, it was divided multiple times, conquered by Hyksos, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, they have no powerful neighbors as Assyria, Hitites or Akkadians, that contributed to their stability.
Ancient egypt weren't isolated they are known for trading with mesopotamia,levant and anatolia

Wow, like i don't even know what to say. I know I sound like a broken record but My God. You keep outdoing yourself in quality, especially this video. I literally got goosebumps watching this. lol
Great work, really important to visualize the goings on in history.. Sure it's probably not 100% correct but it certainly gives a good impression of human activities in that region.
Amazing! This theater was the birthplace of civilization and where human greatness truly started. From ancient Egypt, to the Sumerians, to the Babylonians and the Judeans, up to the Achaemenid empire and later the conquest of Alexander. There are too many tales to tell about this place and time period. Too bad most of it we will never uncover. Thank you for the video
Brilliant and valuable. One minor critique on a great piece of work: picking similar shades of green for Egypt and Assyria leads to confusion after 900 BC when the two empires are in proximity.
in the later years we saw Assyria in the territories of modern Iraq.

Man, I love Assyria. Imagine the amount of tv shows you can create from their story!
I love these history-through-maps videos, but people should appreciate that we are projecting a modern concept of clear hard borders back onto cultures that lacked them. Power and influence often overlapped or consisted in links to distant separated regions or existed only over certain features of daily life and not others. The terminology is also often deceiving: for example, what does the word "semite" even mean? Does living in "Babylonia" mean you are a Babylonian? On the whole, such maps conceal more about the ordinary people than they reveal.

This is very interesting for me ass a christian coz now i know when and where ur, Babylonia, Assyria and Hettitti were located. Nice job.
The conventional date you use for the end of the Old Kingdom c. 2100 BC is all based entirely on some artifacts that were found in an ancient museum in Byblos and is totally wrong. My detailed studies convinced me that the Old Kingdom and the 8th dynasty ended in 2755 BC, there was no dynasty until the 9th started about 2415 BC.

Great Video. Also this is theme what I have interested last time.
bro, if i remember correctly in 5:53 its kingdom of Israel and samaria is just the name of the region
Because all of Canaan was conquered by the Israelites, the area was renamed the Kingdom of Israel, but within it there were areas like regions of land that were controlled by each tribe. The most famous are Samaria and Judea. In Judah was the tribe of Judah (Jews) and the city of Jerusalem. At the end the kingdom was divided into two, the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah. The capital of the Kingdom of Judah is Jerusalem and the capital of the Kingdom of Israel is in Shiloh which is in Samaria and therefore you will see it on maps like that sometimes. it is written like that beacouse confusion.

Amazing work. I've been waiting for one of these
The dominance of Kish, Akkad, and Babylon over mesopotamia speaks to the dominance of eastern-migrating Semitic people from the Levant over the Sumerians and others native to the region. Since the Levant was in closer contact with Egypt than with Mesopotamia, and tended to invade the latter, it makes sense to think that these waves of Semitic conquerors benefitted from technological advancements coming out of Egypt, right? So why is there so much preoccupation with Sumer as the birthplace of civilization instead of Egypt?
"...Moreover, the only aspect that makes this time period “Sumerian” is the fact that most texts were written in that language. Major parts of the population, however, probably spoke Akkadian - a Semitic language that later on was written and spoken in various dialects in Babylon and Assyria. Archaeologists, accordingly, divide the time between 4000 and 2000 BCE into five major periods that reflect the aforementioned developments, but generally avoid the term “Sumerian” to describe any of its artwork and material culture." -- Dr. Clemens Reichel, expert on Ancient Mesopotamia; hence no evidence of Semites being "invaders, conquerors" of Mesopotamia.

wasn't Persia called 'Iran' even during the Achaemenids?
Yes but the called the empire as a whole
"Xšaça"
1. The meaning of Iran did not include only the Persians. 2. The first king of the Persian dynasty was the Achaemenids (hakhamanesh).
The ancient name of Iran was Arya, which includes the entire land of Iran including a lot of the territories East of this map. Arya is also the name of the language they spoke, which today we call Old Iranian. The original Persians were one of several Aryan/Iranic tribes who lived in Iran, and this particular group settled in Southwest Iran, originally taking over the Elamite City of Anshan, then rapidly expanding under Cyrus II in around the 550s BCE. They called themselves the Parsa, and their earliest mention is by the Assyrian King Shalmaneser III in the 850 BCE who calls them the "Parsawa". This was before they had a land and were nomadic peoples in central Iran around the Zagros mountains and Lake Urmia.
Iran and Iranian was a term coined by Darius one of the Achaemenid kings. They saw everyone as Iranian and say Persians as a sub of Iranians. It worked really well for easing ethnic tensions and unifying Iran. It’s like if all the Europeans were put in one place and forced to unify instead of drawing ethnic boarders

And we defeated the assyrian empire
With help by the chaldeans empire

The assyrian the chaldeans the Egyptian

And that's why the Persians turned on the median empire and created the achaemenid empire
