For five millennia, Mesopotamia fostered innovations that would change the world forever. Which of Mesopotamia's contributions intrigues you the most?
You left out that the Babylonians enslaved the jews and that the Persian king Kyrosh freed them. This part of history even made it into the bible.
the anunnaki
@@SojiNanjo Semites enslaving other semites...what's the big deal about it ?
@@nantzstein3311 For once, slavery is always a big deal, no matter who enslaves whom and at what point in history. The other point is that the video talked about the expansion of the Persians. They didn´t just conquer Babylon, they didn´t enslave neither the Babylonians nor the Jews but rather decided to free them. I think that is an important thing to know when one talks about that exact conquest.
@@SojiNanjo again, not the first time or the last one some other empire freeing some other people.
Mesopotamia doesn't get enough love in public school. It's all Egypt, Greece and Rome. 😐
I was wondering too why the schools and curriculums intentionally ignoring our great civilizations!!
Arber UN
What ethnicity are you?
We have more information about the Greek, Egyptian and Roman civilizations that's why. Mesopotiamian history is important so it's taught, but since we lack information about the specifics of Mesopotamia compared to the other great civilizations, then it's only natural that it would be pushed to the fringes of notoriety (at least it is in the wider public sphere).
@@eliran9231 I am native Babylonian and our ancestors lived in Babylon since long time.
@@AlaaAdile
cool but understand that Babylon wasn't inhabited by one people group like the Assyrians with their cities, the Babylonian and neo-Babylonian empires were controlled by two different people groups (amorites controlled the first Babylonian empire, and the Chaldeans the neo-Babylonian empire), with many migrations happening into the city since it's foundation.
i think it is very hard to understand the ancestral history of Babylon, but i think most people inhabiting Iraq before the arabization of the area were a mixture of the inhabitants since the fall of the neo-Babylonian empire, it is also very hard to know how much the arabization of the area effected the ancestry of the already settled people since it was a pretty important center for muslims during the Islamic empire and could have seen more migrations from Persians to Arabs.
BTW, are you a christian?
Mesopotamia was one of the most advanced civilizations, I am very impressed by its temples and the beautiful and detailed architecture that they built, it would be incredible to be able to visit them.

Wait what? Bro which school did you go to?
The first civilization in the world is the civilization of Mesopotamia Iraq. They invented writing during cuneiform, and also the first to invent the wheel, which is the first means of transportation in the world, and those who invented the law through Hammurabi regulations, the first legal list in the world, the first to provide for the rights of women and children, and stipulates the tax system and laws stipulated by obelisk Hamorbi subsequently stipulated in all the heavenly books of the Noble Qur’an, the Bible

Mesopotamia:
Greek words; Mesos (middle) and Potamos (River). Literally, the land between the two rivers - Euphrates and Tigris.
Fun fact...it was the Assyrians that named those people in that region...called "Greeks"
@@istevenr it is true that Greeks took many elements from Assyrians but, seriously, the term "Greek" was coined by the Romans. And "Hellene" derives from a Greek mythological figure. Sorry.
@@maria-kastana When the Assyrian empire was at it's height...Rome was a mere spec in the map, nothing but a small town and a village with a few peasants running around. I highly doubt it.
@@istevenr When the Assyrian empire was at its peak, I dont think that the Greeks existed by the name "Greeks" or "Hellenes". The first known Greek civilisations existed much later AFTER the fall of Assyrians. These were in Kyklades and Krete- and by 15th century BC the Achaeans in Peloponnese, mentioned in Hettite texts as "Akhaiwasa" or something. There was no use of the term "Greek" from eastern civilisations. Not even the Greeks called themselves Greeks. Basically we are Hellenes.
@@maria-kastana It seems a bit of a stretch to call the Cycledes or Minoans Greek. Recalling from my study of the Indo-European migrations, Greek speakers first migrated to the Balkans in the 16th century BC. Those previous civilizations knew no Greek...
When I was in college I learned quite a bit about ancient Babylon, and the documents that archeologists have recovered were a real shock to me. They had most of the kinds of mercantile relationships and laws that we have today, including rental agreements for land, etc. Contracts regarding everything from land-transfers to financial loans, agreements for shared ownership of businesses, even special court-systems to adjudicate commercial and contractual disputes. It was stunning to me how much it sounded like modern commercial documents.
The same humans- clothed in different clothing, using different technologies, but at the minimum, we are all the same as our ancient ancestors
Amazing indeed Micheal.
I am from Mesopotamia, but we lack the valuable resources you have in universities. Can you provide me with your sources or links related to our country?❤
Becuase modern day western Europe are these same ppl
@@dangerousdiscourse No. No they aren’t. Modern Euros are mostly the Nordic (called Barbarians by Rome) peoples who came south during Roman times. They didn’t even realize Romans had aqueducts and indoor toilets …. Until the 1950’s.

actly iraq is in mesopotamia ;)

What a wonderful story. I really like this kind of video, I try to learn all I can about ancient history. This fascinates me !! Great video!!!
Hi Luiza.
I agree with your comment. Its such a pity that this truth is hidden away from our children. Academia tends to err towards Stone Age and then came the Egyptians just how wrong is that.
I have only been interested in this topic for some 18 months and must admit I too find it fascinating.
In my own humble opinion I honestly think that this wonderful planet we live on has a history that goes back many thousands of years.
Anyways, keep digging and watching :).

Mesopotamia was the precursor civilization of modern civilizations.
They were also among the first civilizations to implement agriculture, fishing and livestock.
His monumental works such as his palaces were a way to test his knowledge
They studied the sky and had many scientific advances.
They were certainly very advanced for their time.
THERE WERE ACTUALLY HUNDREDS OF civilization's before Mesopotamia dating back Millions of years
American mfs: middle easterns aren't smart they didn't contribute anything to society YEAH OKAY🤓
THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SUMERIANS AND WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Yeah by far it is the most old and most mysterious one and architecture and mythology is amazing
@@cynthiamclaglen5687 The ancestors of sumerians came from Varna, after the flood in black sea. Also, it's interesting how no one knows what is the meaning of Unug. It means grandson. And Unug is the grandson of the kingdom of Varna. In my country we still use that word for grandson. Btw, the first and the most accurate calendar is the bulgarian, "officially" dated by unesco around 6000 B.C
This is an outstanding minor documentary which colorfully outlined a concise summary of the emergence of human civilization with a multitude of related cultures ranging from Sumer/Akkad to Babylonia and Assyria. BRAVO!
So much history, so much hidden truth getting destroyed!!!

Amazing!! I have always wondered about this.. one of the greatest civilizations of ancient world.. Truly explained in 4 minutes. Thank you NatGeo
it's always interesting to learn about ancient civilizations, you'll see how innovative they are.
It is amazing to see the some of the Ancient gods of Mesopotamia are similar to Hindu gods.
Ay bruh, this just got reccomended to me. I am not surprised that I'd find your comment.. What do you think about Indus and sanuli excavations?
maybe the Hindu gods from Mesopotamia
With the passage of time there is historical evidence of empires trading “deities” and idols
Mesopotamia is one of the oldest civilizations and their mythologies got adopted by later civilizations and got tweaked
For example, in pre-Islamic Arabia there was the Mesopotamian deity Ishtar modified into a male god.
@@themercifulguard3971 bro Read about indus valley civilization (about HINDUS)
Although Mesopotamia is way more developed than IVC but Mohenjodaro is 2500- 5000 yrs old
Yes aryan inventions theory is correct
They also invented wheel by the way. Very useful thing
Its actually believed the wheel was invented long before writing. Its not known who invented the wheel, though its believed that the Proto-Indo-Europeans may have had contact with the culture that invented the wheel, whoever they were.
Overhaul Kai Chisaki every limbless log is a wheel. A log rolling across another log or down a hill or out from under someone is what “invented” the wheel.
Ancient Cemanahuac invented many things as well including the wheel . what European Anglos call "america"
@General G. Washington that's right
don't tell than to the afrocentrists they will claim mesopotamia as african
Love this. Been wanting something more of an overview of this. More videos of places like this on the ancient Middle East, Russia, and Africa would be appreciated.
A video on the story of discovery of how Amazonians made Terra Preta would be great, as many textbooks got it wrong about their practices for so long. And for balance, a video on how the Vietnamese make something similar out of rice hulls, which has a slightly better profile compared to wood charcoal, interestingly.
I feel bad that some public schools didn't make it into your history class
im learning this now for online class now
I wondered what the origin of a seven day week could be. In modern times, I think most people would say it's a tradition from the biblical genesis, but seven seemed an arbitrary number. The seven observable planets actually makes a lot of sense!
for real
Mind blown
just a little nitpick from me: 5 observable planets, 1 satellite (moon), and 1 star (sun)
Seven was a sacred number for the ancients of the big civilizations. Also, they were big into astronomy to track the time and seasons. Knowledge was far more important than gold to ancients.
Seriously I learn more here than in school.🤣
Also we were the first to invent the wheel and the camera and we built the first school and hospital and library of the house of wisdom we are the first to discover the science of alchemy by its ancient name and now known as chemistry and also the first and oldest army founded in Mesopotamia and not only these civilizations but there are more than six civilizations but the most famous is assyrian Akkadian, Babylonian, Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilization
The first civilization in the world is the civilization of Mesopotamia Iraq. They invented writing during cuneiform, and also the first to invent the wheel, which is the first means of transportation in the world, and those who invented the law through Hammurabi regulations, the first legal list in the world, the first to provide for the rights of women and children, and stipulates the tax system and laws stipulated by obelisk Hamorbi subsequently stipulated in all the heavenly books of the Noble Qur’an, the Bible
SAME 😂
Why does Kuwait loose its ancient land when Iraq and Syria doesn’t?

I love this video, this gives all the information about Mesopotamia I could ask for. It's great.
So sad that Mesopotamia perished, I wanted to see the palaces and it's history!!!
It was perished during the time of mongol invasions but sadly people bringing religion into it.
It perished following the Turkic invasions of Mesopotamia. The Turkic ruler Timur the lame is responsible for the destruction of several ancient Mesopotamian cities like Ashur. The native peoples were still a large ethnic group until the 1900s, when the Turkic Ottoman Empire conducted a genocide against the people,killing almost 1.5 million Assyrians. Modern day Assyrians are a minority in Mesopotamia.
@@kazimahin790 It was not the Mongols but the Turkic peoples. Mesopotamia was largely Assyrian at the time of the Mongol invasions. The Mongol leader's wife who belonged to the Assyrian Church interceded on their behalf and thus the Assyrians were spared by the Mongols initially.
@@38-jishjilson89 we are talking about the year of BC. there was no Mesopotamia during 1200th century. For your kind information the Scythians, overthrew the Assyrian Empire and destroyed Nineveh in 612 BC. After the final victory at Carchemish in 605 BC the Medes and Babylonians ruled Assyria. Babylon and Media fell under Persian rule in the 6th century BC (Cyrus the Great).
Then how did you bring turkic here? Last time Iraq (Real Mesopotamia) was totally demolished to the ground by the mongols.
@@kazimahin790 The Persian conquest only did away with the Assyrians political freedom. As a cultural entity Assyria survived on past both the Arab, Persian and the First part of Mongol rule. The Mongol ruler Hulagu Khan had a Christian wife who belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East. She interceded on behalf of the native population, who were predominantly Christian, sparing them. So the Mongols persecuted Muslims and Jews whereas Christians were relatively spared. Most of the destruction of Mesopotamian heritage happened with the Timurid invasions. The Timurid conquest is responsible for the destruction of cities like Ashur and also the decline in the Assyrian population in Iraq, which until that point were predominantly Assyrian.
It's so refreshing to watch. Thanks to my teacher when I was in third year highschool for teaching us this early civilizations 😊 I always listen to him because social studies was my favourite subject when I was in highschool 😊 thank you Sir. Bunan.

@@m.rodrigolemus6224 Thanks for telling me my history. Spain was formed by the ill-witted that Albion and France decided weren't worth looking after. Know your place.
@@GodlyAtheist: Silence Infidels 👹👈😃👍
More importantly the Sumerians invented beer... I actually don't like this video because they skip Sumerians and go straight to Babylonians
this really helps me with my homework .. thank you♥️
This was my class report back in 2nd year high school. Thanks to our brilliant social studies teacher.

Very interesting you should make more of these

Thank you for this informative video ❤️
This is an amazing video. Thank you I learned so much!
Very well described and comprehensive. We need more such vdos.
I am an Iraqi, I live in Babylon👏🇮🇶
@Zubayr Islam what?
@Zubayr Islam ok i found that it was built on a Babylonian village that shared the name Baghdad
@Zubayr Islam cool
@Zubayr Islam hi guys , i'm from Baghdad ,, Baghdad is the capital of Iraq, and Babylon we call it (Babil) another province located south of Baghdad but it's close ❤️😘
love to both of you
@Zubayr Islam Your information is wrong
Babylon is the same city as Babylon today
It is approximately 90 km south of Baghdad. There are palaces, the Ishtar Gate, the procession street where festivals are held, the Lion of Babylon, the Babylonian theater, the maze, and others.
As for Baghdad, it is the capital of Iraq and has another civilization that differs from Babylon
I wanted to correct your information Zahraa from Iraq
🤗🤗🤗💖
Wow so interesting, loving the 101’s Nat geo recently putting out
I'm working on a video about this right now! They seemed to skip over a lot
thank you. concise and entertaining. enjoyed the graphics
from iraq ❤❤🇮🇶 Also we were the first to invent the wheel and the camera and we built the first school and hospital and library of the house of wisdom we are the first to discover the science of alchemy by its ancient name and now known as chemistry and also the first and oldest army founded in Mesopotamia and not only these civilizations but there are more than six civilizations but the most famous is assyrian Akkadian, Babylonian, Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilization
Tragically the entire Region was subdued by the followers of Muhammad......I long for the freedom of the Persian people and the ouster of Islam from all of Mesopotamia. Then, and only then, will the greatness of its people be realized.

My roots go back to Ancient Mesopotamia (Assyrian). We still speak the language of our ancestors and British Museum provides priceless wealth of history, heritage and information of this once empire covering a vast territory in the Middle East and beyond. Thank you for your acknowledgement and sharing the history of people who still carry the flag of their nation.

Thank you. This was very simple and enlightening. I didn't know my ancestors were Mesopotamians.
That helped me so much keep it up
Thanks for speaking in this video :) I like to listen and learn
Cultivation, irrigation, the plow, the wheel - Mesopotamian innovations that changed the course of humanity !
This is not all. They invented writing, the camera, and mathematics
First laws
Finally someone talks about this I’ve been looking for it for my homework
That was excellent! Well done.

Assyria and Persia does not exist in western schools even though these 2 civilizations influenced greece and roman empires in many ways and eventualy the west world, two nations which alot of the so called “medieval European” things ,such as the knight you had in medieval Europe, the crowning of kings, the deepest parts of the cultural, majority of the military equipments of medieval Europe ,the administration system the schools and big part of the medieval science, alchemy, astronomy, engineering and art directly come from. Middle East is actually ancient Europe, its part of the western world and western world is part of the Middle East. it’s history of European civilizations. Those who study history surely know this fact.
Just as much as Europe influenced Middle East in science , technology and culture in the past 200 years, Middle East influenced Europe in the past 2000 years.
The west only cares about itself, as always. very biased view of the history
In fact allot, if not all of ancient Greek thoughts were simply adopted from Mesopotamia, Anatolia or the Iranian Plateau. Even their legends about Zeus and their gods are 1 to 1 copy from Summerian legends. See also Sumerian Deity Anu.
My school spoke quite extensively about all of this actually. It really just depends what school it is.
@@MessiMerdo i know i study all ancient Greek and ancient messopotamian and ancient persia, all adopted alot from messopotamia, i can say 80% of both cultures greek and persia ,greek adopted most from assyria and phenicia, persia adopted alot from babylon and elam ,elam itself adopted alot from sumeria.
@@topgears7775 About the Elam part and adopting from Sumeria, I would be a little more cautious. Elam is roughly as old as Sumer and they were rather competitors to each other. Elam actually has most of it's cultural goods and ideas from Jiroft civilization also know to the Sumerians as Aratta.
Even ancient mesopotamia have been observing the space at their time. And now we're arguing about the existence of space and shape of earth 😥
I love you
It is not difficult for Iraq
Good show, thank you!
I really liked this video it teaches you how much about Mesopotamia
What I love about history is it bring us back to the cradle of civilization. Why must we invade or in war with each other since we are the son and daughters of the same father and mother.

Simply too short to be meaningful!

Very informative, permission to use this on my masteral class.. thank you

Proud Mesopotamian here from chaldean Assyrian decent we r the original Iraqis
Most Iraqis are native but they speak arabic
I'm assyrian too but i know a friend who thinks he's from an Arab tribe, so we both took a DNA test and he was native more than me lol
Very interesting stuff. Want to learn more now
Great video! I once instructed Assyrians in an ESL course. But not being familiar with their culture. So this video helped in a way.
@@genosawa Ty! They did tell me they had to leave their country of Iran because of religion. Mostly Muslims and they were not. I felt sad for them because they did not know how to speak English. Very difficult time for them because of 911.
Assyrian homeland is Western fringes of modern day Iran, all of Iraq, South East Turkey, North East Syria and Northern East Lebanon.

I'm convinced Mesopotamia had a lot of answers about our world that have been lost to time.
Throughout my time at school I loved history but had to learn about Mesopotamia and it's predecessors outside of the classroom. Libraries and niche book stores filled that gap. There was little about ancient Egypt and the other major Mediterranean civilizations as well and certainly nothing of equally ancient China. The history I was taught was Euro and America centric.
Doug Reimer Egypt , Mesopotamia, Europe and those who created the U.S. are all the same race of people. Public schools do not teach American history correct anyways. They call a people who are native to Asia “Native Americans” . Talk about dishonesty
