  • In this program we take a look at the early stages of what scholars call the Old Babylonian Period. We see the rise of the dynasty's of Isin and Larsa as well as the beginnings of a new Babylonian civilization that comprises elements of Sumerian, Akkadian and Amorite culture.

Possibly starts I am the son of no one ,but could be mixing it up. I've poured over your content. It was awesome and remains stuck. Wife's tired of me saying I'm the king of sumer and akad.

    Holy crap, Bab in Arabic is also door. I have been wondering how close these ancient semitic languages are to Arabic, could you maybe do a video on similarities between old semitic languages and modern ones?

    • @HistorywithCy
      @HistorywithCy  Před 4 lety +2

      That's really interesting... I know more about Indo-European languages because I've studied those a little bit, but one similarity that comes to mind with Semitic languages is the word "illa" ... like in the word "BismILLAh" ... and in Akkadian the name for Babylon is BabILLu or BabILLAni. I'm curious about these things too.

    Iraq’s history is much too hard to understand there was so many peoples, city’s and tribes and battles for the thrones ! I wish these were made in a time line sort of upload. Beginning with the Sumerians down to Chaldean Assyrian battles down to the last Babylonian rule ( Belshazzar ) ... its abit confusing. But great content man, this stuff is amazing, great voice for it, I really appreciate this channel man.

    wow just wow... call me crazy, but I see correlation of the timeline of the story of Abraham in the Bible's Genesis and the "Book of Asher", from the flood to Babel to Ur and leaving Ur and Elamites conquering Ur, Abraham's age and events in his life matches archaeological findings. The book of Asher is indeed a living history book.

    Hey Cy thouroughly love your chanel and dont mean to nag and its not a huge issue but a minor problem I've had when listening to old eps in playlists and whatnot is ill be listening to one in the background then the next comes on the volume is blaringly, racketously loud. Not sure there is much you can do if it means you would have to take down and reupload them thats not possible but if tjere is anything thats easy for you to do it would be appriciated. Again no major slight i love your chanel and have recommended it tp several mates

      Hi, thanks so much for the constructive feedback, I really appreciate it! Yes, you're totally right about the old episodes and in fact, I'm actually replacing them with newer versions. This Babylonia series is an example, and also the old Assyrian series is being replaced with a podcast that goes into more detail AND is much softer on the ears. When I first started this whole thing about two years ago, I had little to no idea about how to manipulate the sound, audio transitions, etc. Since then though I've played around with my editing software and hopefully the sound and visuals are better with the latest content I've put out. If there are any problems with these new videos and/or podcasts, please don't hesitate to let me know. I definitely want to deliver the best experience for you all as I possibly can.

    "Bab" means "gate" in Arabic and adding an "on" ending to "Allah" you get "allohn." You have a similar blending of "Allah" into "illah" or "ollah" with "hizb Allah," Hisbollah, meaning, "political party of God." I guess you could make it plural with "hiszollon." "Alhamdulillah" "Praised be to God."

    The fact that the people there had constantly fought over land explains a LOT about the region today. It has NEVER changed in the attitudes of the people who come from there. The resulting generations of people to present day, have ingrained in their DNA a sense of having to fight for their land, having to fight for resources, having to constantly fight for power and control. In a place where resources are so strategic due to fixed positions of rivers and surrounding barren desert, it is clear to see why these people still fight over territory to this day. It's just a shame that they have never been able to advance beyond this barbaric and simple life of occupy, take and kill and conquer... Explains a lot about today's problems. If the people of the world had access to free, clean energy and clean water and food, (which is totally possible), and not have to conform to a system of capitalism where all these resources are monopolized and monetized, wouldn't it be interesting to see how our world would be like then... Irony, I'm afraid, and the greed of a small few, prevents this from ever happening, which is just really, really sad. So many angry communities, so many displaced people, so many hungry children starving to death, so much suffering... all because so few people want to maintain a kushty life of Reilly...
