The Sumerian invented the concept of time, they invented the system of 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24hours, 12 months. Their language was like no other. They invented the word freedom. (amargi) The sumerians invented trigonometry and a better one then we use today. (Plimpton 322) They knew about the heliocentric solar system. Interestingly they were the first to depict angels. Sumerians were the first to make a map. We owe the sumerians many things.
* edit, the second was not invented by the Sumerians.
wno gave them this knowledge,,not,themselves.no culture advances that fast without help..
The first ever recorded calendar of 30 days, 365 days was the Ancient Egyptians!
Well summed up info. We don’t owe them anything, it is just that they were the ones who found it. It could’ve been a different group of people. I like how they found time to do art, mathematics, poetry and other engineering stuff. Really amazing
@@MrMatrix277 nonsence. The Vikings did all those things first.
Do we really??
Honestly I finish school and they never taught me anything about Sumerians. I just find out about them weeks ago
I too, can confirm this
We have got only about sumer versus assir war story. Hungary
A lot of things are mentioned briefly. You'd have to have an interest to 1 listen keenly. 2. look it up yourself. Ur is mentioned in the Bible. Abraham's ancestoral birthplace.

I wonder how it tasted? It was probably awful.....but I’m terribly curious.
@@Deeplycloseted435 imagine it would've been all organic no additives.. my bet would be that it was actually decent or even better than what we have today in our stores
It starts with Anu. Then Enlil and Enki.
Everyone needs to know the history and the truth. It’s a long and beautiful history.
Where do you suggest I start with this history? I am intrigued by the children of Dilmun.
Archeologists focus way to much on Egypt when they should look elsewhere for other civilization's lifestyles
I feel like we probably just have a lot more information on egypt than we have of the Sumerians.
Don't cry dry your eyes
That's why we need 4 you to take over
Well they do need funding
Egypt has been a focus mainly because of the Rosetta Stone, we can actually read and understand their texts, in full, there is way more we understand about Egypt, and at the same time we have so many questions. Looking too far into Sumerian history would lead to pure speculation, due to the absence of some of their history, what history we have studied about them seems to have reached an apex.
Egypt still has mind blowing discoveries to uncover... Like "How old is the Leo Sphinx?" It looks like we could have been wrong about certain timelines, by thousands of years.
There are also great libraries we still haven't found, with one such library possibly underneath the Leo Sphinx it 'self. Geo readings in that area suggest so, also we know that Sphinx's had hidden chambers. Unfortunately, the Egyptian government won't allow archaeologists to dig there, however, the government have been digging up "water pipes" in that very area.
If they find something, I hope they share it with the rest of the world.
It would be awesome to be able to go back in time and see them at their height or Mesopotamia timeframe. That whole part of ancient civilization has been overlooked by so many historians.
I'd rather go back and see the sumerian cities than any other past event, including Jesus. Something big is definitely missing in what we know about them, and what caused them to be able to make such big advances. I'm not about to go ancient aliens on this comment or anything like that, but it is really really interesting how they pioneered so many amazing new technologies.
You might of dislike them, they were also black...
@@traynice9633 Firstly all of Africans were black, now you people say that midlle easterners were also black..... I dont get it. There are many Sumerian statues with blue eyes, wich were rare, but existed. Afrocentrists are silly. If you were so powerfull, and you ruled the entire world, the entire americans and Eurasia, and a bunch of albinos caveman as you call them, from central asia conquered and invaded succesfully all of them, isnt it in the favour of white people? Something you Afrocentrists dont want? Beacuse maybe you wouldnt like it, but DANG, the vision that we are natural abnormalities who conquered powerfull civilisations and survived makes me really proud as a wh1te person. Maybe try to come up with better pseudoscience theory next time
@@traynice9633weren't black
Mesopotamia has the greatest history out of any region and country. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians and the Golden age of Baghdad. I really hope to see Iraq in all of its glory again.
Arabs ruined iraq, we are not even ethnic arabs today
I really wish we teach our original languages✌️
If I understand correctly, the Assyrians and Babylonians were Akkadians.

Excellent video. Thank you!
Awesome stuff
Thats the first time I've hear of Kir, the underworld, and specifically the idea that the Moon would illuminate the Kir.
Never assume that the first to document something was it's inventor. Sumer was a unique and innovative culture, a culture of many firsts, no doubt, but human culture has existed exponentially longer than civilization. Stone age cultures had technologies which is why we classify them by Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic. They are the first WE KNOW OF to do X, Y, Z. Never assume that you really know.
There are so many things we don't know about our history. The things we know is maybe what they wanted us to know. I think some things were kept secret...

Anyone else notice all the giants in their art works?
Yes I noticed the bigger people also have either tails or maybe swords between their legs. Some of them are holding hands in certain spots and also whatever they have on their wrists that look kinda like watches
Presumably meant to signify societal status/importance. A similar practice is observed in the art of other cultures; it’s easier to convey the importance or power of a figure like a king or hero or God by making them larger in depictions. I.e. Egyptian pharaohs are usually depicted larger than their subjects.
The “watch” like wrist adornment is just that: jewelry. But it’s not a watch. It’s more like a bracelet, and the “clock” face is actually a flower presumably meant to represent fertility.
Summerians have tales of tall people in their epics
Aliens is the only scientific explanation
@@toasterstroodle3527 thats just stupid , almost every culture and reglion says or has tales of giants , people were way taller before stop contributing everything humans have achieved to aliens
Thanks you fabulous content
The ancient Sumerian civilization, according to Andre Marie, was forgotten, not even mentioned in the Bible texts. Thus, when the French archaeologists brought to light the monuments of the Sumerians but also the coins which bore the Cretan bull, statuettes and amphorae of Minoan Cretan style, in the second half of the 19th century, the European world was puzzled by the depth of time of this civilization. and was impressed by the perfection of the artistic creations, which had been created at the end of the 3rd millennium BC. in centers such as Lagas or Grasso, whose every trace had been erased from history.
There has been extensive archaeology of southern Iraq and many artifacts were found there and the ruins of such buildings as the Ziggurat built by Shulgi in the 21st century bc and are still quite present today. They are far from erased from history!
The Bible did not mention the Sumerian civilization because it is much older than the Bible, it is the oldest civilization at all, and all historical sources agreed on this (from Sumer came history, all history)

Sir you explain introduction to ancient civlization please with depth vidoe
Excellent
the question is who taught them agriculture and mathematics not to mention that they are way older than the egyptians
ApocaIypse666 further research will show that they were in fact from another planet. The Emerald tablets are a good place to start if you want answers.
pretty "MIND BLOWING" stuff there i just found out the guy who did the research on them is already passed away too bad this is very interesting stuff i would like to know more about them
dont forget to mention Baghdad batteries
YES man that's even more weirder man it's really crazy that a lot that we don't know is still out there
ApocaIypse666 they were as old as the egyptians lol.The egyptians built the pyramids at around 2600+ BC where as the sumerians developed the cuneiform script 400 years ago prior to the construction of the ancient egyptians pyramids.
Ah gawd this is my school project and a CZcams video made me understand it more than my teacher
You should look up the gods of Sumeria. Anu, Enlil, Enki...interesting story. They even had a story about the first man, Adam and the Great Flood and angels falling from heaven, etc.
LOOK UP "ENUMA ELISH" It tells story of creation of man, etc.
You know this world is fucked when these people start to lean from the matrix and forget about real books. Your life is full of shit and lies like your electronic elections.
Because they really don't want you to know
History is interesting. History class is a grand time to nap lol
I think you guys are very awsome
The Sumerians are the same as the Kurds because they speak the Sumerian language in the same geographical location and with a close and common language, and the Yazidi Kurds are the closest to the Sumerians in terms of religion and customs, and still have the same manners and worship after thousands of years. They do.

Who were the forgotten Tartarians?
The Dogon are a tribeliving in Mali, West Africa. According to one of their legends a race called the Nommos visited the Earth from the star Siriusthousands of years ago. These people had knowledge of the Sirius system for thousands of years that wasn't visible through a telescope until the 70's. They say that is where their God came from.
Sirius has been visible for THOUSANDS of years. It didn't just appear in the sky as a main sequence star in 1970. There are many historic records well before 1970 as well as ancient records.

Which democracy?
Sooo my teacher didn’t have to make us spend half of the year on this?
well, according to the tablets found in iraq, the sumerians claimed to have inherited everything from earlier cultures... Akkadia etc.
What tablets would those be, because Sumerian culture preceded the Akkadians!? The Sumerians developed Cuniform which the Akkadians adopted after conquering the Sumerians in the 23rd century bc.
@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 The Akkadians, Sumerians and Assyrians were three different cultures that lived in that area of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia was the region and sometimes it was dominated by one group of people. For example the Sumerians were probably the earliest people to occupy the Mesopotamian region possibly going back millennia even more than 3000 years BC!!. Their culture was most advanced in the third millennia BC with the exception of the Egyptian empire. Then the Akkadians came in and displace the Sumerians and they were eventually replaced by another group of people. After 2000 BC it became increasingly difficult to keep track of the many different people's that occupied the Mesopotamian region. It is a fascinating history and fortunately there are a lot of good videos on CZcams about these different groups.
And a word of caution. Some channels get a lot of the details and times wrong when these various people became most influential and dominant. Consequently I check out several different sources over time and you begin to see who is competent and who isn't.
@The scarlet dahaka Back at ya. lol And by the way the women are not my women. 😅😂
Didn;t Drake from Blade Trinity come from Sumer ?
What about the older recorded history?
Sumerians most likely started being a part of complex civilization circa 5000-6000 BC but their civilization ended much later around 2500 BC after the gradual assimilation in to the Semitic speaking-Akkadians who came from the Levant c. 3000 BC.

Seems like a lot of work goes into your videos, I only stumbled upon your channel by chance I hooked ilk are able to expand your audience seems so sad to put that level of effort out for little ret ( comparably)
it's the other half of the story you never hear. like where they came from? How they got here? where they went!
@Mountaindew You truly have a simple mind! The bible came way after the sumerians had gone the way of the dodo, What we know of them came from there writings not from the bible. LOL And as for your vatican cult, a butchery cult of what jesus taught you really need to read more and do more research, do you even know how and why the bible was put together and by who. LOL It must be nice to try to wrap it all up with 1 book from a cult and say this is the way it was, did you take the pretty pink bow off the book before you read it. LOL please read more and do more research !!!!
Sumerians were assimilated by the Akkadian empire and developed later to the Babylonian civilisation.
@Mountaindew You do know that the Bible was compiled by the Vatican right? They could have made changes to the scriptures to suit their agenda. You should really rethink what you know and stop yourself from blindingly following something you are too biased on.

Hi everyone may everyone be BLESSED and be a BLESSING
@CaptivatingHistory I'm a first time viewer of your channel and I immediately noticed something you said at the beginning of your film you said "most scholars around the world agree that the ancient sumerians were the earliest developed civilization in our recorded history." It has me wondering if only most scholars believe that ancient sumerians were the earliest developed civilization, what do other scholars believe about our earliest developed civilizations or moreover our history?
There could always be a dissenting opinion, or even some difference of opinion about what civilisation is.
We have a sort of proto-city in Catal Huyuk in Turkey. That one is really interesting. It was a town of about 3,000 people. I'm trying to remember the details. Buildings were squarish shaped and tightly packed together. No streets, but they surrounded an open area used for refuse. Entrances were actually on the roof. No doors on ground level. There was early agriculture, and a lot of iconography surrounding bulls.
Then there's Jericho in Palestine, one of the world's oldest continually inhabited sites. I don't know much about that one.
At the same time a couple cultures in ancient China would have also been developing agriculture...
I'm pretty sure none of them were as sophisticated as the Sumerians at the time though. As the video explains, they were a culture of firsts. As to why, the narrative usually goes; is that agriculture required irrigiation in the region. Irrigation required organisation and division of labour. This leads to cities. Cities leads to trade, leads to accounting which needs numbers. numbers leads to writing. Which leads to records. And there you have a recognisable civilisation that's almost modern.
Some of their influence can be seen in the bible, particularly the flood narrative. Also they profoundly influenced the Greeks. For example, the planet associated with the goddess of love and war, Innana, is the planet we know of as Venus today, the goddess of love, and that's no accident.
I'm pretty interested in Sumer, and pretty angry it's been coopted by nutjob conspiracy theorists influenced by Zechariah Sitchin's dubious translations.
The area of today's Turkey is ancient & notable for early civilizations.
@@Gilgamechasaur it has actually been confirmed by five different linguistic scholars that Zachariah was right in his translations, they fired him from his job because alot of scholars during his time were die hard Christians and they didn't want to admit even to themselves that their religion could be based on someone else's, moreover if he was indeed a fraud Zachariah wouldn't have got another job at a different university
@Johnny Wong it wasn't that aliens couldn't make gold, according to the actual translations, they mined gold from our planet because it wasn't a naturally occurring substance on theirs and that is only if you choose to believe that what the tablets say are more than just stories or myth
@@roxannebrower947 Which scholars? How did these biblical scholars get Sitchin fired from his job? Sitchin had a degree in economics and then went on to become a journalist before teaching himself sumerian and writing his books. He never taught at any university or has any peer-reviewed works?

Thankyou for informing us. Very interesting. We should learn about the Sumerians in school and less about the Egyptians and Greeks.. ‼️
We should learn more about this culture in Church too
So I believe in a higher power believe there is God but so if these religions now are real what about Samaritan’s religion tho ? Curious if anyone wanna respond
pre-dynastic and old kingdom Egypt , IVC were in the same time period not later.pre-IVC(mehergarh) may be earlier than sumerian.we don't know anything yet

ancient world has me shook, many holy books from world religions seem to be history books of the ancient world annunaki and all that lelel
They also invented the pullout method
Background music... making me remmeber Arcuz..
Annunaki taught them.
The fallen angels(Raphiem) taught them... shows them on a lot of the tables and art works shown in this video... they're giants
the most interesting thing is that is no evidence of an evolving culture that became Sumer. The development of the things that are mentioned in this video would take hundreds of years, at least, yet there is no physical evidence of stages of development, only a fully formed culture that included much of the core elements of modern society. The answer as to why is what archaeologists should be searching for, the possibilities are intriguing.

THEY HAVE A EPIC NAMED THE IC OF GILGAMESH
Epic of Gilgamesh* we read it in my honors english class a couple months ago
yeah your right
perfect
linguists : J Chadwick, Michael, Ventris Γκάρεθ Όουενς, L. A. Waddel, Fr. Delitzsch,. konstantinos Chatzigianakhs agree that the sumerian writing is structural similar to Linear A and to ancient greek , it contains a plethora of greek words and it can help in the etymology of greek words tat are hard to etymologize
Since the first Sumerian signs of writing preceded the Minoan culture by a 1000 years if there is any similarities between the two it is because the Minoan culture adopted some of the language through contact with the Sumerians or another group nearby.
In addition to that language that Sumerians spoke is unlike any other language in the area which include of course the Minoans. The Cuniform script developed by the Sumerians was also picked up the Akkadians who conquered the Sumerians about 2270 bc again well before any sign of Linear b appeared.
Having said that it might be interesting to see what these academics have to say.
Yeah but where did they come from ?
they were created by God
the anunnaki seem like they hold the answers to these questions, but we most likely will never know what or who they were.
Why should they come from somewhere? Why don't you accept the fact that they are indigenous to southern Iraq

There is some controversy about the early history of the Sumerian people. The earliest known settlements in Mesopotamia were in 6500BC as stated, but the statement that it ended in 4100 BCE is categorically false as I have seen several sources that state otherwise. In fact the Sumerian culture reached its highest form in the 3rd milennia. There were eventually overcome by the Akkadians in about 2400 BCE. The Sumerians enjoyed a brief renaissance in 2100 BCE, but this only last for a century or so. The Cuniform was still used in religious text until 100 BCE almost 2000 years later!!
And that early Cuniform writing wasn't developed until later in the 3rd milennia BCE. It began with pictographs similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics. The pictographs evolved into Cuniform in the late 3rd milennia. At least that is the dates of the earliest tablets of Cuniform of which there were thousands as the Sumerians kept comprehensive records.
I'm interested in looking at details (as much as possible) about the people prior to Sumeria. Most stuff points at ancient aliens, and that's not my interest. I am interested in data. Can you make recommendations? You sound like you know a bit about the people prior to Sumer. Of particular interest to me is Dilmun. Possibly the original Garden of Eden. (I'm not religious at all. I just am fascinated with Dilmun and the history of this time.
@@EdmondManning Dilum is not a culture I had ever heard of. And I know nothing about any people that preceded the Sumerians. Good luck in your research.
🤺☦🇷🇺The Sumerians were the Cushite descendants, brothers and relatives of Nimrod👉
*CUSH* (Cushites):
*Nimrod* (Sumerians: Shinar, Babylon, Akkad, Uruk, Kalne, Nippur, Kish - Dravidians♤HinduCush/Melanesians- Bengali, Papuans, Australians/Dir, horn of Africa/ Raqqans, Syria=Tuttul, Babylon)
Good 🙏👍
What fascinated me reading these comments is so many people assume they are studying and have so much insight to history, or are you just begging for likes!
Why is always hell and heaven mentioned in mytholgies of men even far away
Every Empire on this Earth has fallen - we too will fall. So what will you do for your inevitable end? Will you gorge yourselves on what ifs and idle conjecture? Or will you learn from those who came before and question what it all meant, what it all means for you ? Don’t join the nation, show determination!
Was taught about them in Middle School, Massachusetts early 2000s timeframe. I think most people had bad schools or simply paid no attention.
So if they were the first.. then who’s the people they were fighting with?.. as it says here..
Sumer was the first civilization, not the first culture or people.
Huh 6500 BC to 4100 BC? That's absolutely off, shocking that people haven't pointed it out. The sumerian civilisation lasted approximately from 4500 BC to 1900 BC. Before them the Mesopotamian lands were inhabited by the Ubaiad and Halaf people.
Im asking you because you wrote yiir comment recently compared to other comments here. From my understanding the Sumerians were called "Bl--k headed people" So where the Sumerians bl--k???
@@JoseGonzalez-yq4gw They most likely meant that they had dark hair. It is unknown whether the Sumerians had dark skin or not.
@@Michael_De_Santa-Unofficial they had really long beards.. İt is impossible for them be black or asian Origin...
@@Polo-rn8ly The Sumerians immigrated into the Middle East possibly from the far east. India possibly, which to this day many people are very dark skinned also with black hair.
The Sumerians were the original Chinese. They used pictograms and ideograms which was resembled by the ancient chinese picto ideo grams. Ug Sag Gi Ga by which they called themselves were actually a four-word chinese expression pronounced wu sau ji ga and meaning literally black -head-of(used reversely)-family = a family of black-haired people. The pronunciation in turn showed they spoke Cantonese or cantonese-like language.
The Sumerians are not Chinese, the Sumerians are the ancestors of Abraham and the Arabs
@@user-hh8tq1in2y You took that too literally lol.
@@user-hh8tq1in2y The Akkadians were the ones thought to be the original people of Abraham and they were a Sematic people. The Sumerians were not Sematic and in fact spoke a language isolate not related to any their middle east neighbors.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 The Sumerians have a relationship with their brothers in the Middle East. The closest people to the Sumerians are the Arabs of the Marshes J1 Gene Language is isolated, but their genes are like their brothers in the Middle East
The Sumerians are Kushite Ethiopians who were the ancestors of Abraham. They were subjegated under Nimrod. This is often overlooked by scientists because they don't want to reveal their African origin and manufacture the idea that Mesopotamia or ancient Sumerian civilization was founded by Semite white people in order to accommodate the white ancestry of European Jews.
Desentact of the Samarians still lived today unrecognised but they still exist and they. Still use the same words they have use before
Marsh arabs they are the direct descendant of sumerians
What is difference between sumerians and akkadians
Mostly spoken language, Sargon of Akkad invaded Sumer around 2400 BCE and population inter mingled and Sumerian language was preserved in holly texts for future rulers of Babylon and Assyria.
The Akkadians have nothing to do with the Sumerian Akkadians, who came from the Arabian Peninsula 200 BC. The Assyrians, Sumerians and Medes are historical companions of Mesopotamia. The founder of the Assyrian civilization is Ashur, the son of Sam, the son of Noah. The founder of the Sumerian civilization is Nimrod, the son of Ham, the son of Noah. A year to 7000 years ago, according to the Kurds, their names appeared in the Sumerian records as Koten, and their names appeared in the Greek records as Cardo, and then the name “Kurd” came, where the Kurdish national anthem indicates that the Kurds are the descendants of Mead and Khosrow. It is in material origin, the third son of Yafeth, the son of Noah, peace be upon him, and the last king of Khusrau, whom the Arabs call Taq Khosrau. In the construction of the Sumerian civilization, there is a record in the name of the king of the Kutians who ruled the Sumerian barn and also the Kash dynasty that ruled the Sumerian civilization is also contributed to the building of the Sumerian civilization
