The Ancient City of Babylon: History of the Babylonian Empire
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- The ancient city of Babylon was a city in Mesopotamia which is now modern-day Iraq. The city of Babylon is so well known to many due to the many references to it in the Bible, although none of them are particularly glowing comments. The history of Babylon and the Babylonian Empire dates back thousands of years, and apart from its mentions in the Bible, Babylon is known for many things including its impressive Ishtar Gate, magnificent walls and buildings, the belief that it was a great seat of culture and learning and the, potentially fantastical, Hanging Gardens of Babylon built by Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife.
Although some ancient sources say that Sargon of Akkad, also known as Sargon the Great founded the city of Babylon, it is widely believed that Babylon was already founded prior to the reign of Sargon. Unfortunately, the ruins of Old Babylon have been lost to us since the water level has steadily risen over the years, and the ruins which are visible today date to over one thousand years after the city was founded! The known history of Babylon begins with its most famous king, Hammurabi who is best known for his law code.

Why do you think the Bible portrays Babylon so negatively when other ancient sources mainly praise it? Let us know what you think!
It's a religious\power related motivation. Just like Belzebul, one of the gods of the Philistines (along the rewriting of winners) was changed into a deamon and assimilated. The losers always leave a trace and sometime, just like Greeks, conquer implicitly the "winning" party. "Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit" as Oratius reminds us. Somehow he tells us also, between other meanings, that heritage is deeply layered. The myth of David and Goliath reminds that the Philistines were tall (or anyway armed with higher technology, a mantra in today Israel ideologically "secured" space), indeed from the South or from the East...
Christianity comes as a root from Judaism or it is to it connected, despite all religions are connected, in terms of power and direct link the former is coherent with the first to ban, assimilate, deface, own the past of other cultures, or beliefs that were lost behind. The Church was in politeism a sacred space, sometimes a sacred wood, actually often.
For this reason Churches are not labyrinth or walled houses but actually column supported buildings with tons of colors... this is a fact, which anyone can verify. We are filled with these things that could really appease tons of conflict and open many minds, unfortunately today, still systematically brainwashed or indifferent.
Oy gewalt, thats antisemitic. Dont ask these kinds of questions.
To be fair, those same Hebrew texts that portray Babylon as a wicked empire, also portray all of Isreal and the rest of the surrounding nations and empires (Assyria, Egypt, Tyre, etc...) as wicked too. The idea is that the nations did whatever they thought was right at the expense of other nations and that as long as humanity put their trust in Empire, they would be very disappointed. Both Jeremiah and Ezekiel express the idea that Babylon was used by YHWY to judge the nations for their wickedness. Daniel seems to indicate that the Babylonian kings were reasonable rulers who were often lead astray by power-hungry advisors. Revelation is using Babylon as a symbol of human empire and corrupt power demanding human allegiance, It is not talking about the literal Babylonian empire. All that isn't to say that Babylon isn't portrayed negatively. The Bible clearly claims judgment against Babylon, but it is within the world view that God uses the nations to judge each other for their "wickedness." Hence the reason you find, in the same books, God judges His own people through the invasion and exile by Babylon.
Really enjoyed the video! it filled in so many blanks I had and gave a great timeline of events!
@@BrodyChilds yeah we have daily proof of this
Babylon represents the tower building societies that enslave and displace those who follow the way of God and nature.
I think the Bibles criticism of Babylon is purely from a moral and spiritual point of view. I don’t think any of the Bible writers denied it was a great city in terms of architecture, culture and technology.
Bible writers? Not God's words?
@@albajgurd The Bible is Gods Word which was physically written by human authors. There’s no contradiction there.

@@albajgurddummy
@@christopherflux6254but I don't think God cares about architecture lol, the architecture was a part of the evils of Babylon, all the idol statues for worship, the evil Temples.
Being a modest Iraqi researcher, I would like to say that the Babylonian civilization, the Assyrian and Sumerian civilizations were the greatest civilizations of the ancient world, and we certainly do not forget the great kings such as Esarhaddon and Assyria in Nepal, the great king Nebuchadnezzar II, and the Babylonian king Zahak, nicknamed Nimrod.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🙂
Assyrian empire in Nepal lol
Can’t be the greatest if it wasn’t the longest. That rights reserved for the Egyptians.
@@mrshrek362 make it make sense 😂😭💀
when did Babylon start and end (approximately)??
In answer to your question, Babylon, while a feat of human ingenuity and organization, was famously opposed to principles taught in scripture, that's why even in Revelations, it is said that the blood of all prophets and holy people were found in her.
This is an amazing and well researched video, very easy to listen to. Thanks for your good work, keep it up! Thumbs up from Uganda!

Fascinating history! Thanks for sharing! Someday I would like to pay a visit to some of those exotic places in Eastern Europe!😎👍Iraq, Africa and Italy!
This is a very simple part about the Iraqi civilization. There are many religious, touristic and historical places. In addition, I would like to tell you that Iraq is subject to media distortion because of the wars. There is always exploitation by some parties and false news that they transmit to other countries in order to distort the image of this country. I do not know when they will let us live. In peace, but I would like to tell you that if you visit Iraq, you will find love and respect unless you find it in any other country.❤
The Babylonian Empire and the ancient Iraqi civilizations are a great pride and honor for all mankind. I am Iraqi and I live outside Iraq, but I study the history and ancient civilization of Mesopotamia 🇮🇶

The hanging gardens did in fact exist. They were spoken about in more than 3 ancient texts and also known to have made circulation by story for millennia

The Hanging Garden is located in Nineveh, the Assyrian Capital.

thank you Kelly, amazing stuff. I wonder what the potential is for underwater archaeology in the Persian gulf, plz lmk if you have any recommendations for underwater archaeology since given the trend of global warming and sea level rise, it's definitely a worldwide curiosity!...
Thanks, Carl! We have definitely seen more underwater sites come to light in recent years due to the effects of climate change/global warming. I think it's safe to say that we'll definitely see more in theIf you do a Google News search, you should be able to find some amazing underwater finds. 🙂
Thanks cool video
Excellent presentation, bravo.
Thank you so much. 🙂
lapis lazuli brick layout Babylonians had was dope. I hope to see something based on babylons design in the future. The hanging garden totally existed btw.
We agree. 🙂
Hey Kelly, really love your videos as you explain everything really nicely, I have recently developed interest in History and Ancient world and have been reading a lot lately, would like to ask you a question, do you feel a little sad when you read about some civilization you are fascinated about but since it longer exists, we can only resort to the limited information available, like being an Indian, I feel a bit fortunate that it's a continuous civilization hence it's got that cultural depth, I wish civilizations like Sumerian and Egypt still existed today. My point is is it hard being a history lover for you?
Very good information madam, with the help of charts of the ancient city you gave us a detailed description of ancient Babylon, clear gracious voice, good quality video makes this video very interesting, tks madam, with prayers 🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Good vid
Thanks for watching!
Greatly enjoyed the video. Yes, Babylon was considered evil by Israel. It was primarily so since it had practices that were opposed to their law. However, perhaps God considered it as a primary country to carry out His judgment on the cities of Judaea which occurred in the 6th century BC. Daniel treats the empire favorably. Revelation uses Babylon most likely as a representative of Jerusalem which again came under judgment by the Romans in the 1st century AD. The Judaeans did not consider any Gentile nation favorably. God allows that sentiment while at the same time telling us that He loved the Gentiles and wanted to make them a part of His family. God loves the Babylonians.
Can u make video on Mauryan Empire ?
It's a request please.🙏
Love you so much!
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Good message
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Nice Video Kelly Great Content👏🏾. About the question you asked, Babylon actually stands as symbol for Pleasure which carries God's Children away from God into it's Captivity. It's not like, God is against a Kingdom or Culture, God is not partial to anyone. It's about Pleasure that's leading his Children away(this applies to even today) and it hurts God a lot, when his Children are rebelling against him for Pleasure. God loves entire Humanity and Kingdoms, In book of Daniel itself, many Babylonian Kings knew God and God also did Great things for them. So in short, Babylon is not about Kingdom but about Attitude of Pleasure Seeking in every Human, that's against God. Hope it Helps😁
Thank you for your comment. May I ask where you sourced your information? I really enjoy your writing about it.
@@100Denario Thanks😁, Bible is the Source. If we study Book of Revelation and Daniel closely, we can understand God's point of View
*The all powerful sky daddy is too busy helping Russian destroy the Ukraine!* 😉
I see Babylon illustrate the fact that no matter how mighty and brilliant an empire or nation is in it's own estimations the size and purpose for its existent then is a challenge for contemplation for all
Very good presentation
Thanks, Usha. 🙂
Anand. Nice vedio beautyfull Babylon
The Bible makes reference that Babylon was the strongest city that would ever exist in the history of mankind. We can see this reflected in the book of Daniel with the Nebuchadnezzar statue being the head of gold and the metals get weaker down to the toes. Excellent video.
Thanks so much, Ian. 🙂
Excellent video. I’m glad you mentioned that the hanging gardens were likely in Nineveh.
Thanks for watching!
Many years ago I watched a documentary about this. I think it was on National Geographic. Stephanie Dalley had the theory the gardens were in Nineveh.
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia A very good narrative
Btw, The shirt that you're wearing in the video has one of the ancient Persian signatures on it , it's not Mesopotamian.
Speaking of the Persians, why haven't you made any videos on the Persians at all ?? They are like *THE giant* of history !!!
The 1st Iranian empire ( The Median empire ) defeated the Akkadian empire & marked a point on history. ( *Reigned for 200 years* )
Then later on, the the second Iranian empire ( the Achaemenid empire ) *was literally the OP !!! the 1st superpower in human history that abolished slavery & gave the freedom of speech & the freedom of religion , they changed the world soo much that it's now impossible to imagine what would've happened if they didn't exist* !!! ( *Reigned for 300 years* )
The third Iranian empire ( the Parthian/Ashkanid empire ) was the archrival of Rome !!! The parthian-Iranian cataphracts were the 1st knights in history & the predecessors of later European knights !!! ( *reigned for 500 years* )
The fourth Iranian empire ( the Sassanid empire ) was also the archrival of Rome , & a superpower of the world & centre of culture & civilization !!! ( *Reigned for 450 years* )
*That's a total of 1050 years of ancient history of a giant in history that you haven't covered at all* !!!
Hope you'll make many videos on them soon :))

Good video. I liked it. Tell us more about our history. We learn a lot from you. Following you from the cradle of civilizations
Thank you for the kind words!
How did you not mention nimrod or semirames
Nice video. As for your last question, according to the Bible, Babylon is the cradle and grave of paganism and rebellion toward God, beginning with Nimrod, the first world dictator, ending with the anti(pseudo)christ as the final world dictator (all laid out in those books you mentioned). Nebuchadnezzar had a dream (Daniel 2) about all the world empires beginning with his, leading up to to the final one which will be replaced by the King of kings, who will rule with justice and peace....finally, where there will be no more pain and suffering. He extended an invitation to join him there through the greatest act of love on the cross, laying down his life for all. 💖

The last question I shall give word to. Lol. “Every way of a man seems right in his own eyes, but the Lord wieghs the hearts.” Proverbs 21:2. While this doesn’t totally address the question of the differing Babylonian perceptions. it illustrates that when men think they are wise and right in their thoughts and ways, God sees it from the whole perspective. Gods kingdom will reign forever, and every earthy kingdom will fall. Because men are flawed. It’s the best of a man when he lives his life for another.
I reckon the mighty king king Nebuchadnezza knew a thing of the God of heaven and earth if had he would have remaind an undefeated earthly throne todate
THE GOD YOU'RE CALLING IS NOT JESUS.
@@user-el2zl7vf2d The Bible has alway portrayed God as the source of everything. From Him came all creation. He has revealed himself in newer ways over and over again. The Christ is not only a person but he the word of God that became flesh. All that God ever said has been proven to be fully fulfilled in Jesus while he was on earth. This only proves that Jesus is the perfect physical manifestation of God's word. If we do not believe in him, we just might not be able to withstand the wrath of the same God in the days of Babylon
*THE OLD BOOK OF JEWISH FAIRYTALES IS FULL OF B.S LIES!*
So heres the ??? What is Revelation referring to when it Speaks of Babylon being Distroyed. 🤔
Although I am not a Christian and not aware fully of all the bibles writing it seems that Christianity and biblical writings seem to try show human progression and advancement in a negative light to dissuade it in the future. Similar to the minimal progress made in science and medicine thoughout history as it shown in a way in which to make progress is a challenge to god. I am in no way trying to offend anyone and would love a response to why I am wrong :)

Thank you! 🙂
Thank you Kelly
Really enjoyed your video and the photos of the ruins. Interestingly, before Babylon was discovered, many people viewed what the Bible said about Babylon as something like folklore or a fairy tale, it wasn’t until that German archeologist discovered the ruins of the city, that it gave credibility to what the Bible said concerning that city.
Also I was thrown off by how you pronounced Sennacherib of assyria… it’s pronounced sen ack air ib, if that makes sense, it’s been well established that’s how to pronounce the name… it’s okay, I nearly failed English in school so I’m not one to speak lol. Anyways great video.

The Bible speak about Babylon much the same way it speaks of many ancient cities who were proud and oppressive towards God's people. The book of Revelation borrows the name Babylon as a code name for old covenant Jerusalem which was guilty of killing Christ, his apostles, and the prophets of old.

The book of Revelation borrows the name Babylon as a code name for *Rome* which was guilty of killing Christ and his apostles.

Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Mat 23:34-37 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Besides oil which is money, the reason is that your religion is an evil religion bent on world domination and oppression under a stupid, unscientific, anti progressive and oppressive Sharia Law/politico-religions system, to say the least. I know you do not agree with this but this is from our perspective. Needless to say it is all true, regardless of what you ignorantly feel about it.

Thanks for making this video, from the historical point of view rather than the religious one only.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Hebrews were enslaved in Babylon so they would have had a very negative view of the city.
Thanks for watching, Bruce!
How do you know? Bruce? You were there?
I am no scholar or researcher of ancient historical civilisations and am just a novice at it, but I have my own answer to the question that you asked in the end that why unlike the other ancient sources, Biblical sources kinda condemned this otherwise praised and reverred city. In my perspective it's because of the same dislike towards the 24/7 busy and running lives of contemporary big cities of the world. We migrate to cities for new opportunities but at the same time dont like the excessively rushed and sorta selfish and mean environment of the cities. And since the Biblical writings and messages were of a more enlightened and above the humanly aesthetics, so maybe they just focussed on the costs at which those temporary charms and beauties of big cities are achieved and maintained. Also what with frequent battles to conquer the city which led to recurring destruction ajd then the persistent slavery of the defeated ones could also be the reason behind the same.
Its not that at all. It has NOTHING to do with what you said. It is all about who the Israelites were, their pride and perspective/attitude of/toward other nations first. Then it also had to do with the the Jewish religion Judaism second. Any lifestyle that was not in accordance to the Jewish law, the Torah, was condemned. Sice Babylon was one of the greatest city ever built (at that time) it was viewed as representative of a lawless lifestyle. And lastly it also had to do with the hate of the Jews because the Babylonian/Assyrian conquest and oppression of Israel. You just need to read the Bible and you will know this. It is all there. I am a religions scholar and a theologian. I have studied these things at an academic level for more than three decades. Cheers!
@@Romeo7771 So we can say that the law, here the Israeli, must have preferred the more conventional rural kind of lifestyle, whereas Babylon was urbanic. Secondly the fact that all the cultures consider their religion and law to be more peaceful and most honest one, therefore again Babylon was banished as it didn't adhere to the honesty parameters. So all of it basically comes down to the fact that Babylon was just a new different, and changes have always been disliked throughout the humanity regardless of time and place. So Mr. Theologian ig my understanding was not completely wrong as you are quoting it to be. Now Cheers!
@@pragyapandey24 It has nothing to do with urbanism nor with rural lifestyle. Also, honesty, was part of a larger concept, namely SIN! It all has to do with sin! And since dishonesty was considered sinful, you are right. However, it was much, much more than dishonesty. Anyway, have you ever read the Bible? Just curious. Cheers.
@@Romeo7771 so ancient Babylon was a terrible thing
@@user-ll6js7bc2o it's only a terrible thing because the writers of bible didn't like them, like most of ancient civilizations in the bible

My name is Greg, living in the desert lands of Southwest United States, and I came across this video of yours tonight while doing work on a new CZcams channel I have started with my associate, Nolan, who lives in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.. We have a theatrical project which we named Babylon Theatre back in 1971-72 (C.E.!) when we lived in Salt Lake City, Utah USA in those heady days of hippies and searching for all kinds of freedom. Our language-oriented satires led us to using the name, Babylon, though to a certain degree, I suppose, because it looked better than the similar sounding phrase, "babble on," which was how we used to describe our creative style of storytelling. Certainly the Biblical story of the Tower might hint that the people's babbling was what God hated. Now, fifty years after our first work, my co-director Nolan and I (we work mostly as a duo) in the course of naming our YT Channel decided on the brand, "Modern Babylonian Comics." During work on our new video movie, we have had some discussions about the sparse amount of data which is available to the average Western student in their public school days (or religious indoctrinations) about ancient Babylon, as you said much of it coming from the (I'd say, obviously biased) Bible mentions. Having once seen a photo that purported to show the remains of a -- or "the"-- theater of Babylon, we started wondering if Babylon did have a drama or theatrical tradition, and moreover, whether there might have been any Babylonian comics or comedy writers. This led to a slightly scary overshadowing of our imagination by the thought of a sort of guild of old, known now as the Ancient Babylonian Comics. For this reason we decided that we were chosen by the spirits of these ABCs to carry on under their guidance; hence we became the MBC. This is not to be discounted, because it led me tonight to see your lecture listed on the sidebar of my channel home page. (Which you might find by searching YT for ModernBabylonianComics or our new movie, "The Babylontheon: Fifty Years of Babylon Theatre." Hope this innocent advertising doesn't get me in trouble.) Thanks for the enjoyable video. Believe me, I learned a lot. Keep ducking those arrows.
That’s great
有中文字幕就好了，谢谢
Can you finish your interactive world history map on your website? It's not COVID anymore and I need to finish my homework. Thanks
Hi! I'm actually not sure if we're still working on that map. Can you please send an email to editor@worldhistory.org and enquire about it. Somebody will have a better idea than I do. 🙂
Beautiful building well built.
To bad too bad they were the ones that killed my Yeshua.
