Of all the different “Cradles of Civilization” around the world, perhaps no other is as important and influential to the development of human civilization as Mesopotamia. Literally translated from Sumerian to mean “the land between the rivers,” Mesopotamia refers to the valleys and plains in between and around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which are located in modern-day Iraq. Directly surrounding Mesopotamia, stretching as far west as Israel and Egypt and all the way east to modern-day Iran, is the Fertile Crescent, named for the remarkable fertility of the land that made this region an ideal place for human civilization to prosper.
This video covers the Sumerians, Assyrian history, Ur, Babylon, Gilgamesh, Hammurabi and the Persian Empire.

Correction: The Greeks lost at Thermopylae.
What about the anunnaki,it was them who thought them how to build a civilization
thanos 66 I’d be interested to hear at least what some interpretations are of the old translations that mention them. Interesting stuff
Sure - but if you look at the numbers the Persians suffered extraordinarily heavy losses. It was not really a victory for anyone.
it was a Pyrrhic win for the Persians though

I see lots of people watching this for online classes. Is there anyone here watching just out of general curiosity for history like me?
Yes, I am, quite informative, enlightening
21:42 yes, I am.
I am
I am I'm surprised I didn't learn any of this history in school tho
I am just doing my bible study.
Great historical timeline. I knew most of the info, but never had it in my head in the correct order before this video. Thanks.
Yes! This is the most important part of learning history. A proper timeline in proper context.
Great video! Serves as a good starting point to interest people in Mesopotamian history.
Mesopotamia are 2 Greek words Meso = middle and potamos = river . The area between two rivers . Tigris= Tiger and Eufratis from the words eu which means good and the verb φραζω which means "i close". On this case these two rivers close this piece of land between them.
This series has some cool tidbits but this is one of a couple of errors I’ve found. In another of the books in this series focused on the ancient near East, the author referred to a Neo-Assyrian ruler named Ashurbanipal II, when it should have been Ashurnasirpal II.
Looks like I found who to ask my questions, lol! My passion is the development of mankind, based on the psychology of mankind. I have beginner books, Huston Smith, World Religions, Almanac of World History by National Geographic, History of the World Map by Map, Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall, and 2 History Books on China; for some reason I am drawn to China.
I haven't read these yet, but am worried they will be too general. Since I am self taught, like to ask others what they have learned and recommend to help me widen my understanding.
Thank-you 🙏.
I Greci ne hanno semplicemente parlato della Mesopotamia non hanno inventato il termine già esisteva
It cant be......how they used the term without speaking the language
How were the Persians from Mesopotamia?
Wow imagine if we made this into a television show ? Dramatized history , based on actual events and people so that we could learn out about ancient cultures while making it interesting ?
One of the BEST explanations of ancient civilization. Something like this needs to be rolled out in schools . . .
The western world doesn’t like to teach people about ancient cultures especially the Persians or Zoroastrianism I wonder why
Yes, it's political. They don't teach generations about different cultures and civilizations.@@dk8198
@@dk8198 not true, ancient civilizations is something taught starting in middle school. 6th grade history textbook was literally called, “Ancient Civilizations.” It’s part of the common core standards
I love learning about Mesopotamia and its history. Im an American but I recently started learning to play the Oud in the past year. An instrument I understand to originate from Mesopotamia.
This video is a bit outdated on certain topics if recommended reading about it.
The Oud didn't originate from Mesapotamia.
Ancient Mesopotamia(Iraq)❤❤❤
most of the Abrahamic stories in the bible comes from this very location, and some of the kings and empires and states are mentioned in the bible, also Abraham is also from Mesopotamia, why nobody mentions that?
Because they dont believe the Bible, even though the Bible is correct according to archaeology
@@danielmogos8990 The bible is definitely not correct, it's basically saying lord of the rings is correct because it contains elements based on historical events.
@@deathroman13 Dude, are you smoking something?
Because everything in the bible is plagiarized from older cutlures. The bible is not a historical record its a book of faith not fact. According to christianity the earth is 5,000 years old,flat and was populated by incest. Science and archeology debunks all those things. Mesopotamian and Hindu gods and its people long existed before yahweh "created" the world. To use the bible as anything other than a mythical work of fiction will only confuse those looking for truth.

I’m trying to learn some history and I find it goes straight over my head. I’ve attempted many channels / videos. Yours is easy to understand and digestible 👏🏼
Assyrians are still here. We will be back were just taking a coffee break!

I believe Mesopotamia is a war bound nation. Father Abraham from the Bible came from UR of the Chaldeans(Aramaic) . God the Father told him to leave his land, culture, and people. Abraham is the Father of Faith. He is the founder of the Hebrews people.
Mesopotamia = Sumerians + Assyrians + Akkadians + Babylonians only The Persians are not from Mesopotamia
Since I'm elementary I love history and now I'm here❤
The start hits different. It illicits a nostalgic itch toward these civilizations.
Observing Iraq, it is the country between Mesopotamia, and it is the oldest country in the world, with a age of 7,300
This is sooo good. Thank you.
This is a fantastic documentary. Great music, great imagery, and great narration. 👍
Perfect video. For the visual understanding of continuing process of history. ♥ thanks for this
Congrats on this video. It is really well written and delivered. I am fascinated by the font you used. Is it a custom font? I would love to use it as well.
I have to say the more knowledge you gain the more wealth you will be but I am a history buff I stay up late and I lose sleep watching this stuff but I wish they would show this stuff on the history channel I watch the history channel all the time and they don't show this stuff I bet they used to but I miss it that's when the history channel was really the history channel and I mean really the history channel and I have a wealth of knowledge and this is exactly why too
Well, the coming of Persians is seen as the end of the Mesopotamian culture, to be followed by the Greeks and Romans.
The book of daniel talks about it.
hence my comment pre "greek" indo-europeans...non semitic ...hence indo-european

Great to have an overview of earliest civilization. Just a few bloopers--
* The Ubaidians occupied that land earlier, and probably generated most of what Sumerians were too hastily credited for--pottery, agriculture, etc.
* The Sumerians invented writing, perhaps, but not language itself, which probably emerged at least 35,000 years earlier.
* The word Mesopotamia is Greek--from "middle" + "river."
* Sumer might have started five millennia ago, but unlikely the fifth millennium BCE.
I Greci discendono dai Babilonesi quindi la parola Mesopotamia è Sumera
How could the Assyrians capture Palestine, when that name would not be used until the Romans named it in 67 AD?

"And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,and said to him, ‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell.And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.But God spoke in this way: that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them four hundred years.‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will judge,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.’Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs." - Acts 7:2-8

I am a Haplo J2a as DNA examen is aproved , my ancesters come from this region .
J2A is Persian
Good overview. Just what I wanted
Beautifully summarized and simplified.
music nearly overwhelms narrative. this seems to be a common occurrence with all sumerian documentaries. documentaries like this one are fascinating and very informative of our past as a race on earth, therefore, i view it as a pity that in most the narrative is interrupted, either deliberately, or accidentally by the 'ambient' music at key points in narrative.
Tutto ciò è correlato con il vostro anonimato
This was fascinating to watch, and my main takeaway was just that...anything can happen. People come and people go, some empires last thousands of years and others die after their conqueror dies. Technology advances and stuff happens...
Thank you for this presentation, it helped me understand more about this region and time period.
Mesopotamia is not a word of Sumerian origin. Its a word of Greek origin which directly translates to ' land between rivers '. Previous names included Naharaim, derived from Hebrew
Probabilmente quando sono insorti i Sumeri si chiamava già Mesopotamia che potrebbe significare terra tra due fiumi
At 15:23 someone says something in background. Can’t make it out
Yeah that caught me off-guard; I thought someone had snuck up behind my desk 😆
Interesting that he clarifies all the other geographical references as "what is now...," but still chooses to erase Israel in favour of the far, _FAR_ later Roman-era "Palestine."
Excellent the story. Complete
This video is a masterpiece ❤ I learned so much. I always thought the Sumerians were Semitic, so if not, then what are they exactly? Are they at least Afro-Asiatic? Do any living groups today descend from them?
Marsh arabs are descendants of the Sumerians
Hamites
@@sunnya2134 no they are Arabs descendants of ma'd ben adnan, original arabs, adnani arabs(about marsh arabs)
We are still unsure of the exact origins of The Sumerian people and the issue is still highly debated. They spoke a language isolate that as far as we can tell is not related to any existing languages today. It is possible that the Sumerians are an indigenous people that developed out of the prehistoric Ubaid culture native to the region. It is also possible they migrated to the region from an unknown region.
It depends on what they are using as definition of semite which is dark-skinned, aramaic speaking (not white jewish). Whenever historian refers to Palestine as israel, i know whose perspective its being told from.
i undustood more than i did in class.
This video failed to mention the Byzantine Empire which had the Justinian Code, and who came before the Muslims.

Persians are not part of ancient mesopotamia friend. They are part of a distinct civilization that interacted with mesopotamians.
Exactly. Persian Propaganda has falsified history so much. Mesopotamia is NOT Persia. Also all these lies about Cyrus II. being a good governor are so deeply rooted now, because the Persians are putting so much effort in distributing propagandist narratives. Everything to hide their inferiority in comparison to the mesopotamian civilizations of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon and Assyria.
Maps of each change would have made this twice as good. But still superb.
Great presentation proud Assyrian
We owe everything to Sumer
You mean the so called black people!!!
so fantastic and informative and Impressive thanks a lot ♥️🌷
Regardless which people believe, whether people go by the Bible or Scientific research, life for the average person was really REALLY difficult. If your military decides to go to war, whether it was what you wanted or not, if you lost, the entire population suffered greatly from there "New Masters". Warfare, disease, famine, were all a constant realization. You were made to accept and worship there gods. Here we are in the 21 Century and nothing has really changed. The only difference is the weapons are better and kill far more than the past wars. In the Abrahamic Faiths, you either accept and worship according to there opinions of God or face harsh penalties. If God created everything long before humans ever existed then when does God need humanity to do anything in his name?
I like your comment, except that nobody goes to the Bible for scientific research, certainly not the scientists. Yes I agree on the god problem, but don’t forget god is purely a human invention , not to mention that everything came from sumeria, gods government systems , trade etc,etc. so forget the Bible is nothing but miths of prior civilizations .

For the complimentary … just don’t let this version be the end all! Keep looking deeper than this! Glad it has you interested! Know who you are!
Lastly, the pics used bothered me and so does some of the sequence! Beware of the colonization of information! Why is it pushed so ? To feed the ego… We are all one!
I like what you have done here but I am disappointed when I see things like the guillotine pop up at time 9:48. I get your point but that is not part of this time period or culture so maybe choose a more appropriate graphic representation.
Great video
The role of the Romans who conquered the Greeks before the Arabs came along was not given emphasis here.

It all started with Eridu, UR and Sumeria.
Later empire overtaken by outsiders and an new kingsline:
Akkadia Sagon the great, King of Akkad is the story of Moses in the reed basket in Egypt in the bible.
Alexander the Great of Macedonia inherited the kingdom of Macedonia of his father he conquerd both Greece and whole mesopotamia and all the way to India and Egypt.

Why this annoying background noise you might be calling music.
Assyrians did not have a 1000 year hegemony starting in the middle of the Bronze age. Were an emerging power before the "bronze age collapse" but not a 500 year hegemony right? Then had maybe a 250-300 year run as the big bad Assyrians in the Iron age.
Assyrians still exist today!
Genesis 10:8-12 (Torah)
8) Kush (Nubia, Sudan, Ethiopia) begot Nimrud: and he became a warrior/tyrant upon the earth.
9) He was a warrior hunter in the face of the Most High: therefore it is said, like Nimrud the warrior hunter in God’s face.
10) And the first of his kingdom was Babel (East Africa), Erekh, Akkad, (city north of Iraq) and Calneh, in the land of Shinar (Sumer)
11) From that land he went to Asshur, (Regions of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran), and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: that is the principal city.
Nimrud ruled from East Africa all the way to India he was from North Sudan. The people out of North Sudan a part of the Kush Empire was where the men were very tall and strong Nimrud came from there. These people are mentioned by Isaiah in 18:2. These people were known to be a fierce warrior class.
Nimrud was known by many different names, here is a list of some just to name a few: Gilgamesh, Baal, Belus, Melcartth, Adonis, Eshmun, Dumuzi, Dionysus, Bacchus, Orion, Mithra, Apollo, Ra, Tammuz, Osiris, Titan, Hercules.

Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson was convinced that there was a relationship between the Sumerians and Africans. As a result he used two African languages: one Semitic and the other Kushitic to decipher the cuneiform writing. Rawlinson was sure that the ancient Nubians and Puntites founded Mesopotamian civilization.(1)
The Sumerians referred to themselves as ùĝ saĝ gíg ga (cuneiform: 𒌦 𒊕 𒈪 𒂵), phonetically /uŋ saŋ gi ga/, literally meaning "the black-headed people"
Sumerians were head shavers just like the Egyptians.

The Sumerians came from the Sahara before it became a desert. Affinities exist between Nubia ware and pottery from Ennedi and Tibesti.
Dr. Himanshu Narayan Singh (CSIR-Institute of Genomics & Integrative Sciences, Delhi, India) believes that this pottery spread from Nubia, through Mesopotamia and Iran southward into India.(5) The earliest examples of this BRW date to the Amratian period (c4000-3500 B.C.).
These Saharan people were round-headed ancient Mediterranean types. They were often referred to as Cafsa or Capsians; a group of people not devoid of negroid characteristics according to Jehan Desanges a French historian, philologist and epigrapher, a specialist of North Africa during Antiquity. A member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton[1](11) Wyatt MacGaffey, Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College, Pennsylvania claims that the term “Mediterranean” is an anthropological euphemism for “Negro”.
The boats of the Saharan people are similar to those found on ancient engravings of boats in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Many of the boats found in the eastern desert of Egypt and among the Red Sea Hills show affinities to Mesopotamian models.
The Sumerians and Elamites often referred to themselves as “ksh”. For example the ancient Sumerians called their dynasty “Kish”. The words “kish”, “kesh” and “kush” were also names for ancient Nubia-Sudan.
The Elamites also came from Kush. According to the classical writer Strabo, Susa the centre of the Elamite civilization was founded by Tithonus, king of Kush.
B.B. Lal (Braj Basi Lal, better known as B. B. Lal, is an Indian archaeologist. He was the Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India from 1968 to 1972 and has served as Director of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla.) has shown conclusively that the Dravidians (original east Indians); (southern India), came from Nubia and were related to the C-Group people who founded the Kerma dynasty.(3)
They both used a common black-and-red ware (BRW) which Lal found was analogous to ceramics used by the megalithic people in India who also used analogous pottery signs identical to those found in the corpus of Indus Valley writing. (4)
Most people are aware that the Pharaonic civilization of ancient Egypt is one of the world’s oldest and longest-lasting. However, the nation of Ta-Seti predated Egyptian civilization.
According to Our Weekly, in 1962, a research team headed by Keith C. Seele, director of the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition, discovered a Pharaonic dynasty in Nubia that predated the first Pharaonic period in Kemet (Egypt).
The area extended from northern Sudan to southern Kemet; in some literature it was referred to as ancient Ethiopia, or as in the Bible, Kush. Today, it is called Ta-Seti.
On March 1, 1979, The New York Times carried a front page article by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: “Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest.”
In the article, Rensberger wrote: “Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia.” He estimated that “The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC.”
www.nytimes.com/1979/03/01/archives/ancient-nubian-artifacts-yield-evidence-of-earliest-monarchy-clues.html
History of Early Ethiopia or Kush (13,000-7500 BC)
The region known as Kush has been inhabited for several millennia. Royal Ontario Museum and University of Khartoum researchers found a "tool workshop" south of Dongola, Sudan with thousands of paleolithic axes on rows of stones, dating back 70,000 years. As early as 13,000 BC, ceremonial burial practices were taking place at Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa in the northern part of modern-day Sudan (known to archaeologists as the "Qadan" period, 13,000-8,000 BC).
At the Toshka site in modern-day "Lower Nubia," archaeologists have uncovered tombs where domesticated wild cattle were placed above human remains, indicative of the use of cattle in a ceremonial fashion. Circular tomb walls with above-ground mounds are further evidence of the beginnings of ceremonial burials.
At other sites nearby, we can see the development of Ethiopian (better known as "Egyptian") civilization. At the Kadruka cemetery, spouted vessels were found, and the tombs at El Gaba were filled with jewelry, pottery, ostrich feathers, headrests, facial painting, etc.--all of which were present in "dynastic Egypt," and are still used today amongst different peoples of modern-day Ethiopia. The neolithic Sabu rock paintings even depict dynastic Egyptian-style boats.
Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC.
Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior.
Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt"

How was Greek culture one of most influential in Human history? When I know how much Persian culture has influenced Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, Iran itself, Arab nations, Egypt, Asia minor till Europe (via Ottomans) and even Greeks and what not... almost every nation less or more has been influenced by the Persians. If you take recent European influence out of context every nation in this world is way highly influenced by Persians than any other culture.
And I am not a Persian myself. But admire their might, which was mightier than any other.
Yes but "the west" is overall influenced by fundamentally Greek original ideas of science, politics, individualism, materialism and visual styles, i.e. realism, idealism, proportion, etc. Much invaluable knowledge came in from the Arabs and the Middle East in general of course. But the West is enjoying a global influence at this particular time. The Middle East had it's brilliant and influential time up until the minds of men were hobbled by the rigors of Islam, just like the minds of western men were hobbled by Christianity up until the Renaissance.
Geoffrey S Tuttle "Humans" don't just live in the West. So Human history is beyond just that.
Persian culture does not necessarily mean "Islamic Middle Eastern culture". Persian culture was so rich so much that it also influenced the Muslims who arrived in Persia and created a new identity for the Muslims themselves.
Persian culture also influenced West through the Arabs of Middle East. The Turks mostly only had Turkish as language and still Persian was their culture and they also borrowed many Persian vocabulary into the language. Turks ruled Eastern Europe succeeding the Greek empire of Byzantine itself for almost 3-4 centuries
Since Persian culture was considered foreign for the Western minds they did not accept how highly it influenced their own culture.
Most Of Center Asians and Indians spoke Persian Language and nobody forced them
But Russia and Britain Destroyed Persian Language in India and Center Asia
This is Persian culture copied from Mesopotamia Persians have no culture of their own The Persians were using the cuneiform script and traces copied from the Assyrians and Babylonians😆
@@MrCrow-xg8el Exactly, even their art was copy paste of mesopotamian's art. It took them 800 years to start developing their own art during Parthian era and this time they were inspired by small ArameoArabic kindoms like Arabaya/Hatra and Maysan/Characene.
