If your very interested in this time period and looking for an excellent academic/yet entertaining book dense with knowledge, I would recommend "A history of the ancient near east 3000-323 BC" by Marc Van De Mieroop. I have had this book for years and always find reading a chapter of a specific time period very enlightening.
Thank you guys for all the great comments too.

Epimetheus is Babylon what would become Ctessiphon?
Ctesiphon is located very close to the site of Babylon but it is on the opposite banks of the Tigris river (a little north) instead of Euphrates....I would not be surprised if they used the ruins of Babylon to build parts of Ctesiphon because it is very close...so in a way, I would say it is very likely parts of Babylon became Ctesiphon... also Seleucia probably quarried materials from Babylon as well
You're*
Epimetheus hey please put timeline at the bottom all throughout the video. It gives better idea to retain
Why did you not include the 12 tribes of Israel, the judges period territory and of the kingdom, on the map? It was a massive event BIGGER than the Hyksos overthrowing egyptian rule, and don't say it is fake because there is mountains of evidence that it happened, examples: The existence of a statue of Joseph in Egypt, his tomb is empty conforming what is written in Exodus that they carried his remains to the promised land, the hole in egyptian history at the rule of Thutmoses the third, the man that was initially friend with Moses and was pharaoh at the time of the 10 plagues because he did not free the Hebrew people, the massive displacement of former people inhabiting the territory between the jordan river, example: the siege of Jericho, massive fights between the hebrews and amalekites with the sun stopping for 1 day, meteors from the sky, there is massive archeological evidence for this, for example the city of David, the royal sigils and golden bells from the archpriests of the temple, the temple of Jerusalem remains, the existence of Midianite and Ishmaelites living on the same place Moses was at refuge at Jethro's camp, etc, the evidence is gigantic and can not be ignored.
I've always thought it was odd that they'd teach Greek, Roman and Egyptian history but completely skip Babylon.
Politically taboo to do so.
they cant teach too much Bbaylonian or Mesopotamian history or culture , because it will reveal the truth that Jews took most of their stories and myths from Mesopotamia , same did Christians and Muslims who took alot of their religious stories from the Jews .
Persian history as well is largely a mystery. The West today glorify Greek and Rome as their cultural, intellectual ancestors and downplay most of the middle-eastern empires like the Persian, Mesopotamian, Islamic, Turkic empires who were their ancient rivals.
@@hassanbassim4007 Wasn't Abraham from the city Ur? The Abrahamic religions are mostly about monotheism and prophets, were their similar stories in Mesopotamia?
@@devvv4616 Abraham wasn't really a monotheist his god El was apart of the semetic pantheon (look up Phoenecian gods, his descendants and followers took up his practice and over time it became monotheism.
I would give anything to see the ancient city Babylon at it's height. It must have been a beautiful sight.
Sam Lemont but fill with everything God did not like. Visit jw.org for more info.
@Sam Lemont Not long ago I was in the "Old Museum" in Berlin were the giant Ishtar Gate of Babylon is recreated. Walking through it really is awe inspiring.
You can come to iraq & see it your self
great Iraq
They didn’t have plumbing and modern sanitation, so maybe not that beautiful. (I’m joking)
Babylon: a kingdom that experienced a Golden Age, a Silver Age, a Bronze Age, an Iron Age, and a Baked Clay Age all before a metaphorical stone struck it, causing it to fall and crumble and fade into the pages of history and the Bible.
The golden age signified babylon's reign. The silver age - the Medes and the Persians, the bronze age - Greece, the iron age: the Romans. The mixed clay and iron- military and religious Rome (could not mix), and finally the metaphorical striking stone- the end of the world where all the kingdoms are forgotten.
The metaphorical stone hasnt come yet
Mia Sirena2 the feet religious-political Rome. The clay is Protestant Churches
@@draviddecoteau no the feet represents rome and the 10 toes represent different nations
🤣🤣🤣🤣😆 I love this definition!
I’m Assyrian, and would love a video on specifically Assyria. I think we are the last peoples of Mesopotamia who have survived and kept our ancient identity throughout the ages.
I can say there is a great chance you'll see a video or two on Assyria in the coming months on my Channel :)
@Epimetheus, thanks from France!
Unfortunately you are right about the identity part
Ddaoud2 modern Assyrians are actually an amalgamation of all the Mesopotamian peoples (sumerians, akkadians, Babylonians AND Assyrians)
where is the Babylonian people? No Babylonians in Babylon city now?they just vanished and replaced? where is the Mesopotamian people? all iraqi people are migrant and foreigners except the christian population!!? it doesn't make sense to me. I GUESS ASSYRIANS ARE THE ONLY PPL IN IRAQ KEPT THE ANCIENT IDENTITY.. BUT NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE MESOPOTAMIAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE SURVIVED.
I had my first exposure to a lot of these civilizations from the ancient near east thanks to playing the original Age of Empires as a kid. Peoples like the Greeks, Persians, Egyptians etc. I could recognize those guys, but groups like the Babylonians, Hittites, Assyrians, Sumerians, Phoenicians, those were a lot more obscure. It's only later in life I've gotten to hear about these ancient peoples, through the work of channels like yours. Thanks, Epimetheus.
If interested...Rothman, quoted said...''All that was known in Mesopotamia came from Armenia and that Armenia is the absent fragment in the entire mosaic of the ancient world's civilization's construction. according to Anthropologist Mitchell S. Rothman regarding the extent of discoveries and specially on the quality of horse bones proved, According to him, that it was from the Shangavit Armenian 6000 years ago that the culture of that area spread around to the ancient world...
Professor Jensen also says. ‘For almost everything that is known in the Hittite language is Old Armenian in form..Historian Sayce 1845-1933) also consider Hittite and Armenian to be one and the same’. what some historians say...H.V.

you are so stupeid because all people dont knnow any thing about persian and egypt😂😂
All people in world know babylon😂😂🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Man, I have a research project on Babylon, and your video is by far the best explanation I've seen so far. Thanks
Went through 7 other similar videos on Babylon to find this one. Your voice, visuals, and presentation are well above the mark. Thank you.
I love the music in the background and your voice. It gives the video such a dramatic feel
What's the name of that music in the background?
Never realised that babylonian history was so...rich, thanks for educating me.
What did you expect from the most long-lived city in the Human History (3000-220 BC) ?
lol most long lived heh? How about athens, greece (c.1250 bce-2018 ce)
theodosis kantas Athens never existed before the sea people . And actually babylon still exist but with another name 5 km near the ancient city due to river changes .
babylon does not exist today. its ruins are next to saddams palace. and i didnt say athens existed before the sea people although there are signs of habitation from the 3rd cent. bce. i just said that athens is a longer lived continuous city than babylon is or ever was.
''Athens Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athênai [a.tʰɛ̂ː.nai̯]) is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years[4] and its earliest human presence starting somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC''-Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks so much for your time and work on the videos

BUILD THAT WALL! BUILD THAT WALL!
oh.... they walked around it
lol I was thinking about it, like the French Maginot line that was supposed to stop the Germans from invading France again oops
ברוך הבא לבית שלי, עכשיו אני הולך לישון
@@mofleh177 The Maginot line didn't work because Belgium opposed it just before the war. It worked in WW1, so why do people think the French just forgot about Belgium when WW2 came around?
@@MasterDeanarius There were no Maginot line in WWI but many lines of trenches after Germany went deep in French territory, the Maginot was built after the war based on their experience. I don't know exactly what happened to the border with Belgium but I read that they thought the terrain is rough and unlikely place to be attacked from plus Germany would have to invade the Netherlands and Belgium which would give them plenty of time to prepare but in any case it failed because it was a costly project that didn't serve its purpose.
@@mofleh177 The Maginot line was based on the frontline in WW1, It was supposed to connect through most of Belgium's rivers. People keep repeating this stupid notion the French didn't expect the Germans to go through Belgium even tho they did in WW1.
I'm bad at phrasing it but the maginot line never came to be, it was supposed to be strongest in Belgium where they knew they would come. But Belgium thought they could be neutral in the coming war, so they opposed the Maginot line months before Hitler invaded. That's why Belgium had to capitulate in less than 48 hours and Rommel was free to walk all over the French.
Great work 😍
Love this history lesson. I always wondered what happened with Babylon outside of what is told in my Bible. Thanks for the lesson...
Bible has a very false and unholy view about babylon and disgusting abomination false view.
Thank you. I enjoyed learning more about the history of this region.
Thank you
Cool...I liked the texture look of the maps! I saw some of the Babylon statues in museums!
Good job a lot of history revealed in a short time.
Thank you for this!
Great coverage!
These videos are great for Pastors to know the Backgrounds of Bible Events.

Pastors are all liars like your Satan and Jesus and false Yahweh god are liars and fraud.
fantastic video
@epimetheus ive watched alot of your videos and what i can conclude, you are indeed a knowlegable indivisual and are a trustworthy source of information. I dont agree on some things but for the most part you are a good sorce of info
MY MAN! Seriously, how can you even keep up with all of this content? Keep up the good work!! much subscribed and looking to keep on supporting you in the future. RESPECT
Nice
Well, it seems that almost everybody, whether it was kingdoms or empires conquering Babylon or foreign people invading trough migration, was falling in love with Babylon, adopting it's culture and furthering it's glory. This going on for almost 2000 years ...
You’re unbelievable! Love your videos. Can you please do one on:
- the Semitic people and their branches
- the Hebrews
- the cannonites
- filiatens
Philistines are canaanites. But Hebrews are Babylon descendants.
Excellent work. Thank you.
Love going through your channel and checking out your old content. You're presentation and narration has really leveled up but even this is still great.
On a side note: Godamn those old silent epics were a sight for sore eyes. The fuzziness of the film stock makes it hard to tell what is camera trickery too; looks better than a giant pile of obvious CG.
What song did you use in the video?
BTW love your videos! This might be my favorite video of yours. It's both epic and informative!
A big thank you for this great educational video. I knew a few things about the pre-bronze, bronze and iron-age civilisations, but couldn´t arrange them chronologically up to Alexander, was always a bit blurry for me. You made it much clearer for me. Thumbs up
Thank You !!
This was extremely interesting..thanks
I love ancient history.. I wish I had the luxury of time..
You would make a good teacher.. I would love to learn much more
What's the name of the music in the beginning of the video?
Babylon at it's height would have been a sight (just like Rome), especially during those ancient times where most of the world was still centuries behind ...
Rome was not ahead of it's time to be honest.
Alexandria in Egypt and Ctesiphon in Iraq were just as advanced and great although a little shorter in size.
Great work bro
Liked the video thank you for doing iraq history can't wait for Assyria history
Al-Jumaeyli Al-Qaysi Al-Dawseri الدوسر were still here. Btw check out the church at jubail, Saudi Arabia. It’s a gift from my people, lol
Al-Jumaeyli Al-Qaysi Al-Dawseri الدوسر that is false. And it’s Built.
This is just the beginning of the Wiki page
“Jubail Church is a 4th-century church building near Jubail, Saudi Arabia, discovered in 1986. It originally belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East, an ancient Nestorian branch of Eastern Christianity in the Middle East.”
So you can see that it’s an Assyrian built church.

First time watching something like this, very cool! You described Nebuchadnezzar's dream and Daniel 8:20
Daniel 2
Except Daniel is so inaccurate and post Nebuchadnezzar just like genesis.
Thank you for your deligience, passion of history and time to research this.. I learnt a lot. Appreciated
Cool! Thank you!
great job, mate.

Thank you very much for all your work.
Thank you
Love it
Hi Epimetheus . I'm an Muay thai fighter and I love to just watch your videos as I go running please keep em coming. I can't wait to learn some more!
That's awesome man, Glad you like them :)
how are you watching videos... running....
Lord Voldemort i mean unless you got google glass or something watching videos will running is stupidly dangerous. Listening perhaps. I listen to quite a few of these videos will walking... just curious.
This isn't related to the video but if the Sumerian civilization collapsed because irrigation led to salination of their fields, how come that hasn't happened to Egypt? They've been irrigating their fields for 5000 years now.
Hmmm... interesting question....just off the top of my head it might be that the coast of southern Iraq has been sitting up for thousands of years moving further out to sea, especially the cities of Ur, Uruk Eridu, Larsa, and Lagash were all coastal cities the silting affected their crops more as the coast moved out...the major Egyptian metropolis where further south from the Mediterranean coast Memphis Thebes etc would not be affected by coastal silting or the changes in the courses of the delta rivers to the north. Compared to the Sumerians they had a much more predictable river to deal with that irrigation and new fertile topsoil from the yearly floodings could be more effectively managed...
I could be wrong....but that is the off the top of my head hypothesis :)
...and is sorta related in a roundabout way :)
Feynstein 100 Because their fields was located next to the Nile river and every year Nile river helps the fields to recover.
+wz That sounds interesting. Would you mind elaborating?
Feynstein 100 watch the bronze age collapse by extra credits
Wow thanks youtube for reccomending this to me today not yesterday when i was writing an ancient empires essay
Excellent
I like your narrative voice. It sounds so Hollywood. Thanks for making this amazing video. I always wanted to know about ancient Persia. After they were also conquered by Alexander The Great, how and when did they get their independence from the Roman Empire? I also like hearing about Ancient Babylon too because I like hearing about Nebakuneezer and King Cyrus. Also, this explains everything about the reason that Western Europe is having a hard time in places like Iran and Iraq when it comes to the War on Terrorism. They are telling the West to "stay away from our country's and to never return with the rhetoric of destroy and conquer."
Do Assyria next!
Jason the rock blaha Nebuchadnezzar didn't destroy assyria, his father was the one who destroyed it along with cyaxares. I'm pretty sure assyria as an empire was much greater than babylonia and chaldea combined since they accomplished much more and lasted longer as a military power. Babylonia was a more superior than assyria when it came to culture tho.
@Jason Blaha Assyria was a greater idiots like you have no knowledge of historical events 🤦🏼♂️
ברוך הבא לבית שלי, עכשיו אני הולך לישון
best history chanell ever!!
amazing!
Do you ever just watch the entire story of Babylon at midnight
I do
@@REIVAXMEELAS you did
Finally! Context for who Nebuchadnezzar II is from Civ V :p Great video, you nailed getting 2k years into a digestible, well-paced format.
Very good.
Well presented video, I suggest a time dating + or - the chronological year that the events took place.
Because there were thousands of years described in 10 minutes video.
Babylon has some how really fascinated me, especially during the emperial rise in the bible........now I see it played a lot of rolls in history
After the death of Nebuchadnezzar II, his son Amil-Marduk practically handed the throne over to exiled king of Judah Jehoiachin. Is there any good historical material detailing the details of the final years of Nebuchadnezzar's life, and the subsequent degradation of Babylon after his death? From what bit of information I have found, Jehoiachin was king of Judah for only a year before Nebuchadnezzar raided Judah. He was also young and apparently disinterested in being a good king, and instead "partied" a lot. Seems, during his imprisonment in Babylon, he would talk with Amil-Marduk often, and had influence over the Babylonian prince. Upon Nebuchadnezzar's death, and Amil-Marduk's ascension to the throne, Amil-Marduk, sometimes called "Evil"-Marduk, let Jehoiachin sit upon the Babylonian throne.
What I am looking for is details surrounding the specifics of the span of time from the second sacking of Judah, and the 6 years following Nebuchadnezzar's death. This other king, the non-Chaldean, where was his line from? Also, was it the Assyrian influence that gave rise to the influence of Ishtar in the city?
Thank you :-)
History is most important to mi:thank u for doing what ur doing love it.
Please do a video on Elam!
I live in south iraq were Babylon was mainly founded still I don't feel I'm babylonian
Luis Luis thank you I might do that in the near future
Ofc you don't feel babylonian your old culture was entirely stamped out by the invading arab muslims from the south
Well Alex Y afaik semetic is a language family just like indo european so it doesn't mean they are the same people. Jews and arabs are ''semites'' but you wouldn't ever think of them being similar people or having positive relations with each other. Heck the yugoslav peoples couldn't live together even tough they were all similar people and all south slavs.
Alex Y we aren't the same people and don't have a good relationship
King Wiwuz IV true
Thank you
Great job......
WELL this is complicated to understand...but amazing at same time wow...we need to learn much more about this that way we teach not to make mistakes and learn from this great past.
You should do a video about the Median empire there’s not a lot of history I can find on them
I dont want your videos to end
Cool video.
I am Chaldean/Sumerian and I really love to learn about all this thanks and it makes me know more about the history of the land I was born in.

Where is the classic film from? It looks amazing.
Intolerance 1916
Probably the most impressive looking silent movie IMO
What’s that old film footage from at the beginning called ?
That set was impressive
It's in Hollywood. Part of it still there
It's a very old film directed by D. W. Griffith (popular/infamous for also filming Birth of a Nation) called "Intolerance: Loves struggle throughout the ages".
It was real leaked footage from 800BC
Great work! What is the name of the movie that you are using in the bigining of the video?
0:24 "To thee, oh Ishtar, all praise for the victory."
Sea people were to those ancient people of that area, like vikings were to the people of Britannia? Strange we do not know so much about the sea people.
Good comparison.
Not only to "the people of Britannia", but to much of Western Europe. Remember the vikings attacked France, Spain and even Sicily, in the Mediterranean, as well.

Hey Akkadian Babylonian here ❤️🇮🇶
hey epimetheus, make another syrian civil war update about afrin's takeover by turks
Actually Babylonia is Iraq, or the former name of it. The 10th century Arab Muslim geographer al-Maqdisi said that most people forgot the Babylonia and only knows it as Iraq.
It's a bit nit picky but Susa was more to the Northwest- where the blue-tunic wearing dude's right ankle is. It was a lot closer to Babylon and also a major rival in the area. Susa was extremely powerful but now is a mere indistinguishable bump in the terrain like a lot of other failed city states. I'm liking the videos though- keep'em coming.
Wow, video cameras during that time were pretty solid
Hey, great video!
I would really like to learn either Akkadian or Sumerian, currently my interest in both is really big but I don't know which to choose... I already speak a Semitic language so I tend towards Akkadian but I cuneiform and the Epic of Gilgamesh are Sumerian (cuneiform works nicer in Sumerian).
I'm definitely going to learn one of them but not both... which would you advise me?
We know much more about the akkadian language than the sumerian language, so it might be easier to learn it.
That would be really cool to be able to read either, but I would pick whichever one had more undeciphered tablets and/or total surviving tablets....which I think might be Akkadian because that was used all the way up until Aramaic replaced it. But reading Gilgamesh in its original language would be pretty epic :D
I think I read (or saw in a documentary) somewhere that universities, museums or something posted the images of undeciphered tablets so that people could help translate...if you could find something like that would be awesome to be the first person to have read it in thousands of years.

@@bad_23_r50 The movie is called Intolerance, however the scenes were also released separately as The Fall of Babylon.
Small question, why was there a small flash of the quote "To thee, oh Ishtar, all praise for the victory" at around 0:23-0:24? I couldn't find anything in this video talking about Ishtar or anything relating to Ishtar.
Great video! Also what is the name of the movie you used?
Good video. It covered 3000 years of history. But I think the map is a bit off in the beginning of the video. Assyria and Mari were WAY up north, and around 610 BC, Assyria was controlling Egypt, and also they helped the Assyrians against Babylonians and Medes. I think it would have been interesting if you had mentioned it. Still, a very good video. Keep it up! Love from Iran.
