Thank you for the great lecture as someone of iraqi descent I cant't help but feel a certain connection with this past, even though it is not present anymore within todays culture I think it can help the near east region in discovering its true identity.
Thank you so much :) . I'll use this for our report. At the same time, I learned. He's an excellent speaker.
@maxillusionist The ancient pronunciation of Sargon was "Sharrukin," meaning, in Akkadian, "the true king." Many modern-day Assyrians name their sons Sharrukin, as well as Sargon, as they are the same name.
Interesting, and a good teacher/speaker. I would like to see him compare development of cuneiform with Maya ideograms and specilaized writing systems, and for that matter, Dravidian/Indo. Maya culture also excelled in astronomy, mathematics, tmeple building, and comples numerical and writing systems. Consciousness seems to move in tandem across the world.
Thank you for posting this video.
Knowledge is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@1Azadman Nomadic Kurds came to existed from the family of Noah.. maybe 5 generations after Noah. So my friend.. All people on earth are related .. a little variation color skin only.. This is just wonderful!
@DrDavidNeiman Thanks for the response. It's a wonderful subject and I appreciate the lectures.
i love history and its a really good thing there is alot of it in droves you could say
nice not bad at all for 9 minutes it was informative
WoW this video got so many more views...Everyone seems so interested in Sargon; I wonder why?
Thank you I need to a to a report on this :3 Learning about it in social studies :) Thank you alot
The Sargon story says his mother put him in a basket, sealed with tar, the Moses story exactly.
Not only the name of Sargon became so prestigious after the Akkadian king that bore it, but even the style of beard as well were borrowed by some Assyrian kings later on.
Got Zoroaster's stuff about good and evil too, plus the spirit of god descending upon him in the river and being tested by demons subsequently etc etc etc.

5. Lugal Zage Issi, Enlil and 72 City States Vassal kings sieged the capital of Urukagina in Lagash for three days and destroyed the walls of Lagash and killed Urukagina and his priestess wife, Queen Nun or Azupiranu. Her sister Queen Ninsun, wife of Lugal Banda and mother of Masu & Gilgamesh adopted him and raised in the palace for 11 years and then put him in a hemispherical boat which looked like a basket and went with him with her 6 bodyguards. She did not send him alone to Akki (meaning King of Earth in Sumerian: Ak + Ki)
Wow, there should be more videos like this.
I've never seen any reference to Sargon before 2300BC.
It also seems to me that the people of Gobekli Tepe were in a position to not only migrate towards Sumer, but also into all of Europe. The "blue eyed gene" comes from that region and is dated (through MT DNA) to about the same date that Gobekli Tepe got buried. Sumerians and other early Semites (Noah or Ziusudra for instance) were known to be blue eyed.....and all blue eyed humans share ancestry.
Seems that pre-Sumerian civilizations surely existed, but what's their connection to people now?
Awesome Lecture
legitimate king = rightful king = true king. Context required, it simply means he is your king.
sargon was the great before alexander, he had not this conqure lands by mark himself in the united remember of humanlity since his death and will still be remember long after most of us had been forgotten.
Thanks for your information

6- The Sumerian Empire was established by King Catana son of Hood, reigned between 3378-3349 B.C. as Kish & Isin King lists tablets show. The empire reached China and Korea during the reign of emperor Gun-Gun (or Kingubi-Dudu or Mama-Gal), known as emperor Gun of China and was known as the first king Gun Gun to the Koreans. During the reign of Urukagina it became a One World Empire. King Lugalzagesi the Nimrod usurped that empire and that's while the Bible mentioned him as ruler of the world. When Sargon dethroned the Nimrod, he became emperor of the world which clearly shown in his royal titles mentioned in the Mesopotamian tablets, translated by L. A. Waddell :
The World Monarch
Lord of Earth or Enki
King of the Seas or Ab As in Sumerian
King of the Four Directions of Earth
King of the Four Quarters of Earth represented by the Swastika symbol on Sargon's chest as depicted in the cylindrical seals.
The Epic of Enki and the Ancient World Order describes how he gave responsibilities to his vassal kings and queens and brought order to the world out the chaos created by Nimrod. Add to that, Sargon's own words on his royal stele read:
''The Upper Ranges I scaled (the upper hemisphere acc. to the British translation).
The Lower Ranges I traversed
The Seas and Lands I circled three times
He made three sea voyages around the world, each one lasted between 11-13 years, to spread Civilization, Monotheism, sciences, Arts, Alphabets, agriculture, music, poetry. Archaeological evidence is the Ceramic Sumerian Bowl found on Andes Mountains in Bolivia with a Sumerian Cuneiform inscription on its inside ''SARGON KING OF ATLANTIS'' which now kept in the Bolivian Museum. Another evidence is the Sumerian Winged Bull metal plate which was given as a gift by the natives to Italian Father Carlos Crespi Croci in Ecuador. A historical evidence of his conquest to the British Islands in well documented in the tablets translated by L. A. Waddell. So the Sumerians were the actual Atlanteans who spread civilization to the whole world. They still pretend to search for Atlantis. Years ago I also read about that Greek Copper Cup with a Greek Language inscription on it stating ''Sargon King of Atlantida'', I don't remember the link.
Despite all these facts, they brainwash you and tell you that Sargon's Empire extended from Levant to the Persian Gulf.
Sargon of Akkad would be the first king of history to have an empire.
Mr. Crosby's ancient history class anyone?
here!
1:32 Dovahkiin!
How predictable that one of the first idiograms he came up with was $
@DrDavidNeiman I didn't ask an ontological question, I asked a moral question. I fully understand why you don't want to give me an answer.
I'm not a specialist of languages , but it seemed to me that the old Akkadian language is the common "mother" language for hebrew and arabic.the assyro-babylonian is in fact Akkadian,wich existed centuries before hebrew and arabic.
1:54, for magical........... horoscopes, he sais.
Seems like hes choosing a culturally accepted and sterilized standardized expression like "horoscope" to use in conjuction with the word magical in order to mask what dark core that knowledge of theirs really possessed in terms of magic back in Babylon.
@Lord Voldemort
I can respect teacher of knowledge that can convey truths of antiquity without doctrinal beliefs
it's vere close but not the orgen i think
Sargon= sarg "سرج " in arabic = "Saddle" in english
but Akkadian word Adopted the Nunation( duplicate vowel of the last consonant)
that Also found in all ancient Semitic languages
acording to arcalogal text the akkad did have asian features [mongolid]
GOOD JOB DOC* "DAVIDNEIMAN" LUV THIS VIDEO.
Just wow 😯
sumerian writing looks very futuristic for some weird reason!
@bboybenja87 hi, watch footages of PUMA PUNKU for example, in case the oldest (found) Ruins in Bolivia.
The intersting and not solved big question here is, how can an ancient culture build massive struktures out of granite and diarite without diamond tools in a time 25.000 bc !
Awsom found
cheerz Doc
10 years
@narrowcross All correct except fopr Samaria..Samaria was a neighbor of Judah in the Levant region. You mean Sumeria
@Zuttan Sumerian aren't. Their language is still regarded as an isolate.
First Comment, minute 4:42
The Sumerian Royal title of Sargon Akad (Ak+Ad means the Scorpion King). But if you read it Akkad, in Sumerian, it means the Scorpion King of Kings (kkd = Ak+Ka+Ad). To be closer to his time, Sargon was born between 2783-2780 B.C., though L. a. Waddell put it (in his book ''Egyptian Civilization and its Sumerian Origin'' in 1930, see new edition of Nag Press of April, 2011) in 2765 B.C. and started his revolution against King Lugal Zage Issi the Nimrod and became an independent King of Kish in 2755 B.C. at the age of 11 which is inaccurate and hard to believe. Then, Sargon dethroned King Nimrod in 2751 B.C. and became King or Emperor of Sumer and the World. Taking into our consideration the following facts:
1- king Nimrod killed his half brother Urukagina (Ur Ka Gina= The Righteous King Gina) and usurped the throne of Sumeria and ruled for 29 years. Some historians say that he ruled for 24 year, taking into their calculation the beginning of Sargon's in 2755 B.C. In fact Nimrod remained in power till 2751 B.C. + 29 year = 2780 B.C which the most accurate date of Sargon's birth.
2- The year 2700 B.C. was considered a probable year for Sargon's appearance as a King since Sargon's was strongly related to vassal King Gilgamesh, his cousin and brother in law and the struggle of Sargon with Gilgamesh in front of Uruk City is well documented in the Sumerian tablets translated by S. N. Kramer in his book ''History Begins at Sumer'', Pennsylvania University press, 1956 (The very struggle of Gilgamesh and Enkidu in front of Gate of Uruk City) while most historians render Gilgamesh to 2700 B.C. which is also inaccurate. Nimrod's predecessor was King Urukagina who ruled for 15 year and so was his father King Tuke. This puts Urukagina's reign between 2795-2780 B.C. and his father's reign between 2810-2795 B.C. accordingly.
3. Dr. David Neiman is completely wrong and so were most historian as Sargon was a Sumerian king and his name is mentioned in the Sumerian King Lists of Kish and Isin.
Evidence: Sargon the Great held his title Enki. Lord Enki was the son of Sky Lord An (Anu in Akkadian). An is a title of King Urukagina as it is well known in the tablets. In Urukagina's ''Declaration of Humanity'', he nominated his son Enki (Sargon) as his successor by order Enlil to past the tablets of Destiny (Kibs Tablets) to Enki and it was the emperor's responsibility to keep the Destiny tablets as a proof of his lawful right to the throne of Sumeria by the Divine Rule as stated in those tablets : Kingship was descended from Heaven.
4- The Akkadians were people who we lost their first name as they attributed their new name to Sargon's title : Akkad and thus became know as the Akkadians, Meaning Scorpion Men whom we read about in the Epic of Gilgamesh. They recognized his legitimacy to the throne and supported him to restore it back from Nimrod the Tyrant.
You are wrong. May be ..you"re simply Lier. Look - The name of SARGON is Sumerian word and it consist of 2 Sumerian silla SARGON=SAR+ GON="Golden Sun". But Sargon was not Sumer, he was prasemit. The name of Gilgamesh again wrong at you : Right trasliteration of this word exist already 4 years - BiLGAMESH.
You are simply ignorant or a liar and don't know what you are telling. Look for the word Sar in the Sumerian dictionary and check the translations of the Sumerologist Samuel N. Kramer in his book ''History Begins at Sumer''. This not my translation but that of a reputable expert. Sar does not mean golden. If you read the Akkadian version it is ''Shar Guni'' or King Guni. Gon (in other languages Gun, Guni, Gin, Gina, Gan, Ghana, Han, Hon, Hun, Jan, John) is the family surname
.
As for Gilgamesh being Bilgamesh is quite funny since in Sumerian it is written GLGMSH without vowels and as you see the letter ''B'' does not exist in the root of the name. The word is a name an should be written as it is. Check that with Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Pennsylvania universities to rest assured. Furthermore, do not copy what the Jews says about Sargon. Sargon's name is mentioned among the Sumerian Kings, bear Sumerian royal title such as Enki. In the Declaration of Humanity of his father Urukagina he is the rightful heir to the throne of Sumer. Sumerian Emperors ruled by the Divine Right stated in the Kibs Tablets and should be of the Anunnaki not the Igigi. Sargon , husband of goddess Inanna, or Enki, husband of goddess Inanna. is one of the Anunnaki and rightful heir to the throne of his father which was usurped by King Lugal Zag Essi, one of the Igigi who hadn't the divine right to rule.
Sumerland Edin The word SAR initially is the word "yellow", "gold" at Sumer. Concept TSAR and an imperial title at Sumerian appeared only with adoption of Tengriism. Look at the primary source: Altaic hieroglyphs and Hittite inscriptions... Conder, C. R. (Claude Reignier), 1848-1910.
"kuke altarta mu sharni paksa (next sign is cross) pal"
As you see, the word "sharni" at Turkic Hittits precisely meant title TSAR.However, this institutional concept and a title - the phenomenon SECONDARY, derivative of the words "yellow" or "gold".
As for youR GLGMSH - you WRONG again = Sumerian used SILLABLEs , wich contains vowels. Stupid semits=akkadian lost the correct transliteration of this word and lost vowel phonemes upon transition from a protocuneiform writing to a cuneiform writing. Word Igigi - it is Sumerian word "PERFORMER", "EXECUTOR ", and not that you there to yourself imagined.
You translated the phrase Ur Ka Gina = to "The Righteous King Gina". I don't know FROM WHERE you take the IDIOTIC translations? You don't make laugh, please, shumerolog and fans of linguistics.
The wor AR or UR or URU in the Sumerian-English Dictionary means Noble or Righteous. And the Word ''Ka'' in Sumerian means High King or simply a king. Gina is the King's Surname. Since Urukagina in the tablets was describe as ''A king who fears God''....the the most accurate translation is the Righteous King Gina. If you think Sumerian-English translation is Idiotic then which source do you suggest to resort to for accurate translation? Do you know a better dictionary than than that of Pennsylvania University? If you claim, why then most of Sumerian language translators depend on Pennsylvania Dictionary??
@AlphaMaIe Are you envious because this man has worked hard and is brilliant? Why don't you study and become like him, instead of behaving like Cain did with Abel and letting your jealousy overwhelm you. You should rise above this level of bigotry.
learning from the people that lied of history for hundreds of years...... I past on this one...
Ayyeeeee potters school students
Its interesting the word Šarru (sargon) in kurdish and arabic can mean war, fighter, fight... it must of come from his name.
I thought they were called Cuneiform
@AlphaMaIe The Akkads had to be the predecessors of the Khazar or Ashkenazi. They came from the same regions and went into Sumer.
That is pretty close to the site of Gobekli Tepe, as well. I wonder if there's a connection between those peoples and the Sumerians/Akkadians/Babylonians. It seems feasible, since they are from that region and fit the physical descriptions of early Sumerians. GT is at the headwaters of the "Fertile Crescent", too. Anyone venture a guess? Any studies known?
sargon is serbon makeridov
this is possible,as for the known "dhu Al-qarnain" ( the man who have two horns)of the muslim's Quran(we know Sargon of Akkad has a two-horned helmet).in fact the word Ishtaru in Akkadian is used to say "Goddess" (with ilat too),and ishtaru is not a mysterious name , it means "shining" to describe The God/The Goddess's(ishtar is either female or male) light.
Well Im par Lur part Lak and my people beside being Iranic have nothing in common with Kurds who are for a great deal the descendants of the medes. While Lur and lak are the descendants of Persian Tribes.
סרגון מאכד. הרצאות מעולות. שנה טובה לכל עם ישראל. מאחל קניבסקי מוטי
yes of course..the Quran ALSO has its share of old Mesopotamian myths..its all shared and passed down the generations
Sargon and Gilgamesh: the same person?
Theory of Mario Pincherle.
His origin is Jewish.
Bye from Italy
Sumerians,Akkadians,Assyrians,Babylonians,Jews,Arameans all these people are semites
So true
salam. The akkadian is from golden of eden. And historian today lack of knowledge about the Eden because world today is build from war and lost original autority...But the last King will tech and guide people to the truth...not puppet kingdom that fools humanity for thousand years...
ancient_based_anti_feminist.mp4
Probably Chinese came from Sumer.
My last name is boiarray.... Have u heard of this name
Any thing they tell you was bad in the bible
Like babylon black people you should look further into it
And you will see how wise your ancestors were
How can a man research the ancient civilisations which includes the Code of Ur Nammu of around 2100 BCE which was far more sophisticated than the ten commandments that were supposedly given to Moses around 1300 BCE more than 800 years later and still identify himself as a jew?
@DrDavidNeiman It's someone else's ancient homeland, and as the Nazi's built 6,000km of standard gauge railway in the first 6 weeks of their invasion of Russia, I'm not really sure what you consider admirable.
You didn't answer my question.
@Standingearth
just joking chill
i say, $umerian$ $nake..????i am king* $argon; in the new babylon..2012
story of Sargon of Agade=story of Moses in Monotheism
come on religious people :))
@DrDavidNeiman Although you could have made a case for Judea, Israel as a nation state is a fiction.
'My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain -- especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state' Albert Einstein.
@DrDavidNeiman Well, then you must be ashamed of, rather of being "witty".
@STEVEDIGIBOYtv what the hell are you on about? Why don't you read my posts instead of spouting gibberish nonsense. Holy crap. lol
.
@TheTeslaJet racism? What kind of english are you speaking? lol. There is nothing racist about my comment.
Jews know the importance of naram sin the grand son of sargon,king of four direction that has benn mentinoned in the Quran
kek
I don't understand how people can say what ever they want and make stories please look at the history books the Assyrian people kept records and documents written on a cuneiform tablets all the data and years can not be changed and Sumer Akkad Babel was all Assyria (Ashur) they were all the same people they spoke the same language and wrote the same language stop dividing them into a group . Sargon king of Assyria king of the world
They in fact did not speak the same language, as both Sumerian and Akkadian were language isolates. Also, the early civilizations grew out of single city states, and although they influenced eachother, they were vastly different in culture.
+Yuri Alexander Akkadian is a Semitic language, Sumerian is a language isolate.
AssyriansRuleU4ever They are not the same people.
This man is senile. He rambles obscurely from one vaguery to the next.
Takes one to know one...
