    am an Iraqi citizen. I tell you that there are wonders and wonders in Iraq. In Iraq, there are in every civilization ax and traces of the Sumerians and Babylonians. Talking about Iraq does not end because it is the origin of humanity. Faithful revealed the prophets and messengers. And you, as a European citizen, thank you for this work and spreading the history of Iraq, and that it is not only the history of Iraq, but the history of mankind. thank you brother. I am from the city of Nasiriyah (the city of Ur).

      Wow, amazing! I would really love to visit your city, the ancient Ur, and also Uruk and Babylon. I'm an enthusiast of ancient Sumerian myths and religions. But I'm afraid that this particular interest could be a problem. If you don't mind, could you, please, share your opinion on how foreigners asking about the old Gods are perceived by the population at large? Because, even if I pretend to be a common tourist, people may notice my awe and beatitude when visiting the temple of Inanna, for instance. Of course I respect everybody's religion and faith, and I don't want to cause any trouble - or to get caught into any. Of course, as in any other place in the world, I obviously would try to keep a low profile. But I admit to not knowing what to expect. So I appreciate if you could give me - give us all - your perspective on this matter and/or advice.
      It's in my bucket list: I will visit Babylon in this lifetime.
      BTW, greetings from Brazil. Wish you health and peace!

Meanwhile the sumerians are dated from around 7000-5500 bc, with an even more ancient civilization underneath that. Regardless, both sites are tremendously important to us as humans today

    I'm in my sixties. I still remember studying Mesopotamia and the Sumerians at school, although I mostly remember hating it and and history in general. Was it the method? I don't remember. All I do know is that I'm lucky to still be alive when this kind of content is now available anywhere, any time, and, like in this case, presented so well that it is impossible to not love it. Thank you for the hard work and yay to youtube that has finally giving me a love of history and archaeology.

      Two different schools of teaching. The old style "didactic" Chalk and talk - child's function is to sit down and obey the orator, whom may try to fire a question to catch them out - boo. Second type: Experiential, was only being introduced, in your time (Quasitor, Kaliedoscope) to psychology in UK from America: Basic philosophy it's not what the teacher spouts on about, it's what the child learns. Also, it's the student that should direct his own path. Guru Carl Rogers book Freedom to learn. Encounter groups, Summerhill. The issue with Experiential learning is that it can become to lax, lacking in structure. You need somewhere in the middle to be effective - IMO

      My first history text book was called from Ur to Rome, I have to say I was captivated by what we were taught, although I agree it was not made as interesting as this. Let's be fair, our poor teachers, although truly dedicated to their subjects were at a disadvantage having only dry old text books to work from. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the interest they generated, and grateful for these modern resources to fill in the gaps.

    SUPERB!! This brought back memories of spending my days, was unemployed in the British Library, London, studying the Sumerians! No access to glorious information like this back then! Just heavy tomes which I carted about the library and made copious hand-written notes from! I don't know why I've never watched anything before about the Sumerians. I'll certainly be watching more of your videos. Thanks so much for a thorough and enlightening programme! I had remembered some facts incorrectly, and never really knew before now, just how Sumerian culture met its end. Thanks...

I also noted that you correlated works of art and their museum home with the story and details as we can decipher thus far. It really changes the stone piece into something that connects you to a distant past; having it preserved illustrates how we regard our beginnings to be precious and a story that is long and ever unfolding.

    As customary, I loved this meticulously researched documentary. Incidentally, Pietro della Valle (1586-1652) was the first European who found the ruins of UR, while travelling through Mesopotamia along with his Assyrian Christian wife in 1625. Because at that time the Persian and Ottoman empires were at war over the rule of Bagdad, his travelling guides suggested that they located a site in order to hide from a suspicious group of men, who looked as though they were galloping in their direction. As such, by sheer coincidence they "stumbled" upon a huge structure in their horizon, to which they flocked and where they spent a few days. Della Valle was fascinated by the monumental size and quality of the huge walls as well as to the multitude of cuneiform writings which appeared throughout the site. Thanks for yet another wonderful upload.

      Haha yeah, when I first read that I sort of chucked because I thought the author of that line was making a joke..."who was king? Everyone called themselves kings... who knows who was really king?" Basically I interpreted it as there was a lot of confusion and a breakdown of authority since a single ruler would have likely indicated strength and stability. Anyway, thanks for watching, really appreciate it and stay tuned for more!

      Look it's really rockets science no town of civilization can live far away from water that's how you find your abandoned cities go look for a river on water source. I like it when they sell towels out there in the western movies out in the middle of nowhere well I don't give a fuk how they show it you can't exist without water you can't put a town in the middle of nowhere unless you near a river or water source. Lindo's on Western movies they always your town smack-dab in the middle of nowhere okay with the water forthcoming from. Okay let's see I reinforce this argument alright I'll build your town in the middle of nowhere but then I need water without War simulation so some people would dig a well yeah I found me a community in the middle of nowhere and I got my baby a week to go find some water so I guess I'll digger will maybe I'll get lucky and maybe I want

    I am continually in awe of the British museums that preserved these artifacts. Who knows what was lost elsewhere.
