Im relieved , I thought the nazis working at the youtube censorship department removed ur vid, great vid as always,keep it up, btw which material(sources) did you use for this series of documentary on the sassanid empire, im curious, its not mentioned in the vid nor in the vid description.
ty
Thank you man! Your content is just beautiful stuff!
Imad ud Din is what we need as u have already covered most of the events before him
Dilkhozai Marwat He is most certainly on the way!
@@HistoryTime thank u :)
More ancient world stuff please. These super ancient civilisations are so often overshadowed by the classical civilisations.
cynderfan2233 so much more on the way!
@@HistoryTime damn i love them
@@@HistoryTime Elamites next? That kingdom hung around from the birth of the citybuilders until midway through the rise of the Persian Empire. Gotta be some history in that 2100 year span.
cynderfan2233 you are readin my mind!
you know its a shame that our schools that i went to didn't touch more on our important history like this was. i had to learn a lot on my own.
You can tell you're a writer, you're brilliant at crafting these historical narratives. Awesome stuff!
Thanks man! That's really kind of you to say. You are a natural born presenter.
That's true!!!
Youve got a little something on your face
Great as always, I'm glad you cover the ancient bronze age, so few people do.
Username 122748909298443 thanks glad you like it!
I think it’s one of the most interesting times because money/capitalism and imperialism were basically invented there (around 2500BC)
@@ObjectiveAnalysis I don't think a critical thinker should think so simplistically.
@@MP-vm1jt he's not a crtitical thinker. Only a thinker.
As an Assyrian, I give you great thanks for your in depth work and ideas of the ancient empires of my forefathers. My the Lord Ashur/YAWEH bless you. Great work
As an Amorite iraqi i advice you to DNA test to find that you never been assyrian but sea people
@@nefnaf96 maybe you need to check your DNA to find out that you belong to the empty desert too.
@@WilliamGMalek we never been in desert . assyrian came from outside iraq . they were the sea ppl plus aryian originally Caucasians.
@Matthew i know .. I dont trust DNA. Also i believe that history and religions are faked .
@@nefnaf96 Did Abu Bakr al Baghdadi teach you that?
Why watch television, which is mostly a wasteland, when you can watch History Time?
I haven't watched TV since January 2012 lol.
why watch, when history awaits your contribution?
Because history time doesn’t have episodes of Cops and Pawn Stars. Otherwise I would
Because there's no 24/7 History time (yet)
II II 1995 for me
I am assyrain and we still speak the language of our ancestors the Armaic . Proud of our history
"Who are the Modern day Assyrians? There are none and the claim for such would be baseless due to the lack of continuity both linguistically and culturally. The once Mighty and Great empire is now only a glimpse of history which we can only see through primary and secondary sources"
I really like the narrator’s voice, specifically the tone and tempo. I am also incredibly impressed by how the material is presented. By slowly magnifying the image, I learn so much more detail than I have in more audio focused pieces. Thank you for your hard work!
Thankyou! Appreciate it.
@@HistoryTime prego!!
And the Assyrians still live today! Amazing people and history.
Lol!
Hameed RA why lol?
@@msb8792 because they don't...
Darius Greysun and how did you come to this realisation?
@@dariusgreysun we Assyrians are still here tho, do some research
I love how you start explaining a subject yet you also show the world around. It really enriches the video. Great work!
Best channel on TH-cam. Always solid videos, with great information.
Thanks so much my friend. That is incredibly high praise indeed
Proud to be Assyrian
Khayea Umta gabarta and death to our Enemies.
Arab> Assyrian
Need more on Sennacherib, Ashurbanipal and Tiglath Pileser!
Also if you could shed some light on the connection with the modern Assyrians!
We the modern Assyrians are connected by our native Aramaic language, Aramaic is also spoken in Israel. Given the vast Assyrian empire from 9th to 6th BC some Assyrian look more European and some more dark complication. My family all have green/blue eyes and light hair and skin. The big question is who were the Assyrians kings and their bloodline since they only married their own kind to keep corruption out, but it never worked and their was always civil war. Hope that helps!
May you show us historic connection between the ancient Assyrians and their lineage kinship with the new Assyrian people of contemporary people of Germany? History shows us that After Trebeta abdicated his own father's throne, his step-mother Nourerta, upon knowing the fatal death of her husband, King Ninos, she chased her son-in-law Trebeta who fled with his own army contingency heading north-West till they reached a northern region of what is Germany and built the oldest city in Europe called "Trier. I know that the German call themselves "Alamn" which is an ancient Assyrian word for "Our people". Thank you for your rich information.
"Who are the Modern day Assyrians? There are none and the claim for such would be baseless due to the lack of continuity both linguistically and culturally. The once Mighty and Great empire is now only a glimpse of history which we can only see through primary and secondary sources"
@@akkadashur The Babylonians, Scythians, and Medes want to know your location
I love this channel, the content. The accuracy of all historical portraits. The wonderful music.. Everything is so well made. I love everything that you do, and this is such a wonderful time for me to spend. Eat dinner, watch and listen to this.
Thank you for everything with this, this is such a wonderful thing you do.
I am proud Assyrian
Prove to me that you’re not aramean?
I'm from Iraq, thank you for making videos about the middle east and the orient. It seems that YT history videos are heavily focused on the west and the ancient Romans and Greeks. Glad there are content creators like you who are less Eurocentric.
Anyways, If you want help with ancient Arabic texts you can hit me in the DM's :D
Thanks so much for watching! Really glad you like the vids
@johny odisho I'm not sure if this is like a racist comment? or you're trying to make a point? or what ever.
Like I barely mentioned anything Arabic and somehow that triggered something in you to write this comment? So fucking sad.
+black ops
was factually correct though....
you triggered much?
@johny odisho Modern day Iraq was ancient Babylon. I'm sure you knew that though.
@@nataliedaniels1443 the Babylonians spoke Akkadian, and then Aramaic. By the time that Arabic was the dominant language, these Babylonians were entirely assimilated into the Assyrian culture/society.
So much knowledge, thank you. I keep learning so much more about Assyrians.
Why do you want to meet these cannibal demons
Great video sir, would like to see a video on Byrhtnoth and the battle of Maldon one day.
Thanks mate. 100% going to cover it in a future video
Thanks good sir. Please cover these earlier times, 2500 - 1000 BCE if possible, in future. These very ancient times at the beginning of Civilization, despite their scant records, are very intriguing & interesting.
Much more on the way my friend!
Always love these ancient history videos! They give so much more insight into those mystic era's
Glad you like them! Such a captivating period
Very well documented! thanks for this insight. I'm a modern day Assyrian today and most middle easterners today call us Ashuri's another term for being Assyrian.
"Who are the Modern day Assyrians? There are none and the claim for such would be baseless due to the lack of continuity both linguistically and culturally. The once Mighty and Great empire is now only a glimpse of history which we can only see through primary and secondary sources"
@@dannyboybogdan2356 It may be a glimpse of history, but I speak the native tongue fluently and my family members are able to read and write in the Aramaic language.We may not have our ancestral lands in modern society today but for thousands of years our culture has been carried on from generation to generation and we are scattered all over the globe rebuilding our way of life in different regions of the world.
@@Ace_Dee"Assyrians lost their language Akkadain, and their empire was multi-ethnic due to the mass deportations. Once the empire fell, Akkadain was neglected and the revolts destroyed their settlements and main cities. The cities, which were conquered, became settlements for the conquerors, as they would continue expanding their empire."
6:37 That Pun Was Fantastic.
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice this.
That was amazing, I'd love to watch more videos on the rest of Assyrian history!
I am Assyrian and I am proud of my history. God bless.
Man, this video was awesome. Congratulations!
Excellent work! Really love the stuff you folks at History Time put out.
I'm so happy that I found your channel! Thank YOU!
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! FANTASTIC PIECE OF WORK
Thank you. Enjoy your informative videos very much. Choice of background music is always perfect as well!
I always found it interesting how a lot of these ancient empires seem to have a “part 1” and “part 2”
Yep, happens so many times. Especially in this region.
Its a faked history made by elites
Really amazing video...really loving how detailed it is covering alk city states..
Keep it up brother🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic I'm painting an Assyrian army at the moment, have subscribed, all the best Garry
4300 years ago SARGON king of Aked settled the first empire in mesopotamia.
Thank you for the great videos.
Thanks for watching!
Damn, that's some good stuff!! Well researched and awesomely presented, good job!!
Thanks so much!

That was great. Can't believe it took me a week to get around to finally watching this.
Good video showing timely maps that help you better understand the narration.
Great video, I love the diversity of visual support (which was one of the only flaws I could find with this channel).
I love the storytelling style and the obviously the story for is there any better story than history.
Thanks man really glad you're liking the vids!
Proud to be Assyrian. We still exist and live mostly in US and Australia. We are Orthodox people. Thank you for this video, great work!

@@jassimmn9004 no wth? I never heart that.

Interesting relief carving at 14:43-45 of some type of siege craft destroying walls. With what looks like a battering ram that pivets,no less! Great video!
Excellent historical lesson. You are a natural presenter/teacher. KUDOS!!!
Shamshi Adad rocks! Is there one on Tiglath-Pileser III too? He was a mighty conqueror...King Pulu
Eventually there will be! & all of the great (later) Neo-Assyrian kings
Athaporn MCorp Review Tiglath-Pileser existed about 1200 years later

awesome! truly impressive :)
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Master of the Universe hahaha
Fantastic episode thank you. I saw the title and it looked rather obscure, but it was in fact completely engrossing.
@History Time, You have done something absolutely amazing.
This video is SO GOOD that people have completely ignored themselves and their opinions of history that your ENTIRE COMMENT THREAD has 0 arguments! Great job!!
Edit: I should have clicked more replies. Some typical arguments, but point still stands.
What an exciting time in history, a time I haven't had much chance to study or indulge in very often, love the video :)
Quality content right here
Thanks man glad you like it
Great stuff hard to find elsewhere.
I am continually in awe of your scholarship.
Long live Assyria
So amazing a really acient documentary.
Glad you like it! Such a fascinating period
nice video! keep it up :)
I paused reviewing for my finals just for this. New subscriber!
This is brilliant, I also find the music to be very interesting,I wonder where had you found it
great work
Thanks man! Appreciate the comment
Most amazing video 😍🙏👍💪
awesome. i was hoping you'd return to the early early history eras. thank you good sir
& much more on the way man!
Very refreshing!
They don't call that area "the cradle of civilization" for nothing. Good vids.
Excellent!
Amazing !
Muhammad Aidid thanks man!
Love what you do with the current consensus of history.. you tell it like any story teller would have on any age past, with a tone full of wonder... Anyway, I'd really like to know where the mountain shots at 0:06 are from.. looks amazing! o you know?
Most libraries in bablonia and mesopotamia was belonged to ashure banipal as last emperor of assyria 62 b.c /thank you.
Thanks alot from syrian for showing our history ❤🥺
not Syrian... Assyrian history.
Thanks for the post about us my bro
Thank you
You sir r awesome, can't believe how fast this segment seemed.
Not enough on the Bronze out there.
Perhaps u would consider a History on Lewians (and, No, not Troy).
An under appreciated field of research on a Great civilization.
Keep up the fantastic work. Thanx.
nice job!!
Thanks man! Glad you like it
Awesomeness!
THANKS for the diligent work.
I used to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses and even though the thoroughly discourage learning secular history, my introduction to the bible awakened me to Mesopotamian history and the more I read, the more I wanted to know about the people referred to as "enemies" of Jehovah.
Now that I am out, I am free to learn as much as I want and to be rid of the religious falsehood from the JW.
Gaslit world, in fact, the Assyrians are the nation that knew our omnipotent God before any other nation. Remember when Jonah went to Nineveh and he was choked to see that the Ninevites were more religious and pious than himself. Give you an example, Did you remember what Jesus Christ boosted the faith of the Ninevites. REFER this to Matthew 12-41. There are more proves that the Assyrians used to introduce GOd of our times to the people who were heather and pagans. Remember, God himself called Assyria, "My mighty hand". Please try to read the Holy Bible again.
Not only are these well-done, informative, and entertaining, my highest praise for a historian is that I can’t tell if you are atheist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jedi, or whatever else.
my girlfriend says u make beautiful documentaries! the music is so magical it feels like I'm listening to a story book but this is a well presented piece of curated content and actual history! Can use this to study for an exam! thanks!
Can you teach me to write the way you tell an excellent story?😆
Love it!❤You make it more interesting. I love anything ancient!
Excellente
Love the @anchientarchatects channel theme music playing in the vid. Accident ?
It's History Time!
