Trade has built and destroyed more empires than anyone might imagine.

@@Josway37
Yeah, why not? History wasn't made by just the leaders of society. Indeed, without all the 'little people' usually in the background, those 'leaders' would have ended up being pretty useless - something a lot of people forget. The ideas only only 'great people' can drive society forward is a solidly debunked hypothesis called the "Great Man" theory, which purports that through competition between great people (or geniuses usually) society is moved forward. However, more recently it's understood that society is moved forward by a broad variety of factors, most important of which is the context created by the cooperation of all those people you rarely ever read about. I realized this a long time ago when I came to the conclusion that understanding the prevailing psychology of a culture's people determined what they did, so history is more a reaction to cultural context than singular acts of genius. In the end, it really makes studying history all the more interesting, or as I used to jokingly call it. 'Current Events of the Past'.
@@jeffreyestahl Dude I know it's irrelevant But are there any Non-Ethnic ie mixed nation in Western Europe?
@@trippiedizzy9243
I suppose that depends on how you define it. England was invaded by everybody and his dog over roughly a 2000 year period from about 1000 BCE to 1000 CE. It's one reason the English is so messed up as a language. Today's France is a mixture of French, Brittanian, Iberbian, Roman, Provencal, and other cultures. Similarly, Greece, Turkey, Italy, and some others linguistically were a mash-up of cultures resulting in today's nations. E.g. Today's Italy is a mash-up of Roman, Etruscan, Celt, Gaulish, Greek, Byzantine, Visigoth, Goth, Lombard, Norse, Vandal, and Arabic cultures and languages. History shows repeatedly that people move, bring their cultures with them, and merge with the native cultures wherever they're moving; the result being a mixture of all the inputs. The idea of "Melting Pot" isn't a new concept. It's been around (and recorded) since the Bronze Age.
Fun fact: The Akkadian word Tamkarum, meaning merchant, shares a root the Arabic word Makr, meaning trickery and scamming. They both are derived from the proto-semitic root "M-K-R."
damgar
Which makes sense lol
the modern day word called science, was actually a succession of the word, cunning
Is it also related to the Hebrew mucher meaning salesperson?
Were the Akkadian semitic?
I am but a simple barbarian - I see "Bronze Age", I click and I like.
The older the history, the more I like it. The transition from hunter-gathering to farming is my favorite period of all.
@@SimuLord Aye, same. What fascinates me the most is the very idea that our ancestors built great cities and established such complex trading relationships long before we even started working iron. It paints an entirely different picture from what a lot of people [especially in the movie industry] imagined the distant past.
What about the stone age

To see the evidence with your own eyes, these tablets are in the Kayseri Arceological Museum. If you are planning to see the Capadocia, that place is very close to there.
Assyrians today are a small marginalized christian minority that few people know about. thank you for bringing knowledge of our illustrious history to light. This Assyrian thanks you from the bottom of his heart.
Polybius once stated:
"Every political system has a source of corruption growing within it, from which it is inseparable. For kingship it is . . . tyranny, for aristocracy it is oligarchy, and for democracy it is government by brute force"

This was re-stated in a little bit different form by Machiavelli in his "Prince" as well.
The ancient world was much more connected than we give it credit for.
Love the economic videos just so fun to watch!
They really bring us closer to the past.
Definitely the subject I want to see explored the most! Trade is that buzzword history books throw around but don't always dive deep. Great work as always!
Trade rocks
Everyone talks about the collapse of trade as part of the greater Bronze Age Collapse, but then they get to the fun part about the Sea Peoples.
You have to know how trade rose to understand how it collapsed, right? There might be (...definitely are...) lessons that apply to today to be learned there.

10 years ago I read a book about the Sumerians. One of the most profound things I learnt is how Corporations started from Temples. And how Homosexuals and Transvestites existed in those times as well. They also had a specific law if a Builder or Tradesmen built a house which collapsed and killed his clients, then his own son or child would executed.
It's in the code of Hammurabi. The legal principle laid down was "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" and what's often lost in time is the understanding that this was a limitation on revenge, not (just) a harsh legal code. At a time when blood feuds between families were the norm, the law limited the amount of revenge one could exact to no more than the damage that had been suffered.
@@MbisonBalrog No. A transvestite is someone who wears clothes of the opposite gender. Such as a man wearing women's clothing and makeup to look like a woman.
@@serviusm9523 Becuase you don't hear any mention of it pre Classic Greek history. Especially not in the Middle East.
@@serviusm9523 Huh. Didn't know that.
Calatrava must be relieved, if he was born in Sumer, he would have had his own children executed several times.

I absolutely love videos about trade. Its so fascinating to me how interconnected the ancient world was.
How goods and ideas moved around.
Thank you for your amazing videos.
You guys rock history so hard. I just wished you guys included a bibliography so I could do further reading on the subjects.
Agreed. From the Babylonians, I could see absence of continuity.
@Kings and Generals: can you please increase the size of the fonts? City names on maps are not legible when viewed on a smartphone.
Thanks.

Thanks for this video, greetings from ASHUR 🇮🇶🌹
Literelly this channel brings out history in such a fashion and with so much detail that it seems they have a time machine to go and see the past.....My fav history channel...Love from India
I love learning about the bronze age because it is so shrouded in mystery. Thank you for making this.
In had the privilege of having to research on Kültepe/Kanesh during my Archaeology studies at uni on a few occasions. Thank you for bringing this astonishing site and the Old Assyrian trade to your channel. Great video.
The karum (literally translating to "port" in Akkadian) was a kind of freeport secured by a contract between the local ruler and the Assyrian king. It was explicitly not subject to local legislation and cult practice. The Assyrian traders were the only ones to be writing and to use standardized measures (as their local trading partners all had own weights and such). This lead to the Assyrians becoming the record keeping institution and place for making contracts in the region beyond trade as well (like marriages).
Interestingly the locals would abandon writing and abstract written contracts once more when the Assyrians left for good. (The Hittites would again import writing a century later but using Babylonian, completely ignoring Assyrian.)
So don't expect techniques of cultural exchange to outlast the system they are used within.

No mention of Ea Nasir and his quality copper by Kings and Generals? He must have treated them with contempt...
Ugh, just the mere mention makes my blood boil!
I came here to see if Ea Nasir would be mentioned.
Was thinking of him too... that guy as reached a kind of immortality...
"If you like the video, watch share if with friends; if you don't like the video, go away!"
-Ea Nasir
Him and his shitty copper is now immortal.
The Great Courses series "Ancient Empires before Alexander" is one of my favourites that I can listen to over and over. It's neat to see that history presented in a different way.
The Persians built a massive empire and so did the Arabs but now too many people underestimate them and think they are just poor “sand people” while saying they can’t be beaten at the same time
Such foolishness will end with a mushroom cloud
One of the most eye-opening videos you've ever made. Knowing that before ancient Romans and Greeks there already existed an interconnected world is a thing, watching this video fleshing it out in such detail is another. Thank you for all your great work.
The tablets archaeologists will find 2000 years later are going to be very exquisite and rich details, from food fo f***ing.
I read somewhere that there were plenty of pornographic cave paintings on the walls of the caves in France.
Rule 34 was invented the same day paint was.
Ancient trade is something very exciting to study
It is striking to think that the activities of merchants not only tell us much about Bronze Age life, but played their part in shaping not one, but two, great kingdoms!
That they would not only smuggle tin in their underwear but that doing so was effective enough that they organized the process and repeated it among themselves is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.
Hmmm maybe that's where the term balls of steel comes from. Back then, it'd be balls of tin
Hey do a video on the bronze silk road; trade between harappans, sumerian, Egyptians and minoans as far back as 2000-3000bc.
They've been translating harappan lately, and found minoan based linear A in Norway, suggesting colonies that far north with civilizations in Spain, italy and even the nuraghe potentially also being minoan colonies.
On top of that the harappans even had trade guilds. Minoans may have been a trade empire with merchant princes.
There's a whole world we've lost the memory of, but were slowly unlocking it again.
Then ext video about the Bronze Age: Competition for domination between the Hittites, the Assyrians and the Egyptians.
I have been on a Bronze age kick as on late. A video on trade during that era is just what I needed😊
Terrific stuff, and it's great seeing you guys really expanding how you approach history as well. Scholarly as well as fun. Continued success!
Sigh looks like I'm playing Age of Empires: Definitive Edition today then ;)
I would love to play a game based on making trade routes during the Bronze age.
Trade during Bronze Age, and especially during Late Bronze, is one of the most prolific period due to its interconnected routes and the complexity of its trade systems that were able to share the different cultural features across the region. Congrats for your work K&G, as a historian and keen on ancient history I can say that is sometimes difficult to find such a comparative analysis and well portrayed aspects of these amazing period through such a dynamic way of teaching. Keep going 💪💪💪
It amazes me that 3500 years ago there was an international trade network that spanned from England to Afghanistan, and that it wasnt matched again until the Silk Road.
Love all the Bronze Age information! Thanks Kings & Generals
Great content and videos, guys! It would be great if you could cover the rise of the Sikh Misls and then the formation of the Sikh Empire in India! Amazing part of history to touch upon
