Treasures from Ancient Iraq

[BlackmatterX]

I have several ancient pieces in my collection from Mesopotamia that echoes the black origin of the Assyrians, Akkadians, and Sumerians. The culture, amulet and, OF COURSE, coined hairstyles all mirror black African tribes, which produce all phenotypes from the Khoisans to Nubians to Ethiopians to Egyptians, etc.

[blood123yo]

Nice. Proud

[AlaaAlwash]

No, the key is atheism, logic and justice, if all of these were present there would be no excuse for wars or corruption within a once powerful country such as ours. I believe it is my duty to bring these aspects back to a now growing nation to ensure that it may not happen again

[Albertp64]

Fucking Americans!!! Your time will end soon!!!

[xglowingangelx]

its very beautiful i cant lie...i have a thing for old things probably because i went through alot ...and i realize alot more and im getting older...i appreciate old customs...but all you could do is learn from your past to make a brighter future<3

[BoroughStudiio]

Be human for the sake of your children and children's children, lets all oppose war and divisive religions and realize we are one people on one planet

[llevijr]

does one include a George W Bush statue giving the finger?? lol

[AhmedSPX]

all this is gone....other fucking countries stole it and sold it. even iraqis stole it and sold it. i remember. i was 7 when i was in iraq and it was war and everyone was stealing and it was being reported that they were stealing historical artifacts

[comptonboy118]

iraq has a great history

[AlaaAlwash]

As a fellow Iraqi I can only wish we will uphold and rise to the reputation that now precedes is, with determination the entire world is in your hands all we have to do is find the key

[shnazer1]

@AlaaAlwash The key is Jesus Christ

[AssyrianBeast357]

Iraqs land is the cradle of civilization, and look at it now...a burning ruins

[sirfascio]

that might be true, but human civilizations have always been violent. we just have more efficient weapons now.

[thomasg74]

If what has happened tp Iraq and its People does not break your heart ...........then your heart is made of stone,Iraqis must stand up and reclaim their honour and history,in the future the criminal invasion will be just a bad memory,let us all acknowledge the great debt we owe the iraqi people,the greatest inventors in ALL mankind.

[maelstone]

the whole world`s heritage is now in the hands of criminals...so sad...

[SpirituallyTuned]

nice video, Where has all of it gone?

[assyrianracist]

Great video.

Assyrians will rise.

[yousifnjf]

i am proud of my country

[pensarefare]

It's all about the money. It's the first thing they do when they get to a valuable place they either steal from it or destroy it!

This is the law of war.

All this stuff will reappear magically inside private collections, or even public, if you wait long enough...

[vyperspit]

I have been studying for an Art History exam, and it includes the arts of Ancient Mesopotamia. And I gotta say, the craftsmanship and aesthetics of those early civilizations are phenomenal!

[Firewall2153]

Listen man,

I am almost confident that all human races originated from Iraq, one way or another, since the time of Noah.

Arabs, Persians, Indo-Europeans, etc..

I might be wrong, but there is NO FIRM historrical account confirming the origin of the mankind.

[Firewall2153]

Jews included ..

[cvgf08]

anthropologist beg to differ, they are certain that human origins began in africa somewhere near ethiopia they can be wrong but they are also very close to the truth. all i can say is that if you're religious believe in what you have been thought to believe or do research by reading anthropology books or watch vids best resores is nova or natural goegraphics:)

maybe the oldest human customes were developed in the mid east since they do have one of the oldest cultural history.

[Firewall2153]

You are right. Ethiopia is another candidate spot to research. Thanks for the input.

[vladimirstanislav]

No only black apes came from Africa not humans :-)

[LuciDreaMingPOwer]

@vladimirstanislav the white apes came from ?:o

[cvgf08]

[Simsim64]

Thanks 12345sx

[stephanie5583]

it breaks my heart to know that iraq is now a battlefield now and the people and soil there are being destroyed for whatever stupid reason. that was the foundation of civilization ..the true answers lie there and therefore should be considered sacred :(

[chernatarozabg]

Annunaki

[sampy33]

excellent vid

[satoofi93]

WOW we were sooooo brilliant ppl unlike today :(

[Amar90]

my heart aches when i see all of this.

[peace0ff]

nice blue eyes. would love to see the war/peace one enlarged for the vid, as well.

[DjEzhel88]

so do anyone know the real history of summerians and what their drawings meant? where all the knowledge came from and what not...seems pretty advance fro being a civilization of 6000 to 9000 years ago

[wozzzzzzzzy]

ALL RELIGON CAME FROM IRAQ

[lebnaniapride]

Yea Iraq is greatly known for its intelligence. There are so many things that the modern civilization gained from the Iraqis. I read somthing about Iraqis being the first ones to make a calculator. Achievments in math, science, etc. In a whole the arab world discovered so many things, its a shame that now everyones turned there backs on what was once so great. I mean this for Iraq, and Falistine. Hopefully some day everything will be as it once was. Thanks for the video. Salam from Libnan.

[IraqiGladiator]

don't worry we'll come back and stronger than before..Imam Ali said: a day for you and another against you...if it was for you dont get so happy..and if it was against you .. dont get so sad..because both will fade away..

[JihanShabilla]

I love Iraq hope to get back

The plunder of Iraq's treasures

By Humberto Marquez

...destruction of libraries has helped document the devastation of cultural and religious objects in Iraq, where the ancient Mesopotamian kingdoms of Sumer, Akkad and Babylon emerged, giving it a reputation as the birthplace of civilization... In addition, he has been barred from to Iraq "to carry out further investigations", he added "documents, footage and photos that in time will serve as evidence of the atrocities committed..."

[maria20078]

The decorated vehicle in UR, at 2:50, refers to the most ancient city in the world, UR, also known as the land der Chaldees, where Chaldeans, (Iraqi Catholic Christians) resided. Prophet Abraham's parents were also from the land der Chaldees, thus, Chaldeans.

[shabiraxxx]

Have people from Iraq heard of the Sumerians and the Annunaki. In school, the streets or else?

[vasterastjej]

ofcourse we know the Sumerians, our ancestors, if that what you ment.

[shabiraxxx]

Are the sumerians the ancestors of all the Iraqi? It is said they were the first highly evolved culture on the planet.

I wondered if people in Iraq think the story of the Annunaki coming from outer space (Niburu) to be true. It is in the clay tablets of the Sumerians.

[vasterastjej]

look, that I dont know, but I know that semitic populations smashed the Sumerians in southern Iraq, and after that no one cared about them, even they where not interested in power, you can search for Marsh Arabs living exactly where Sumerians used to and they're living also exactly as old sumerians used to, they didnt change that much, but ofcourse their lang. changed, while middle and northern Iraqis mixed with Semites so they're not pure sumerians now, I can check ït for u

[FlashVirus]

Hi vast. Please give me more information. You mean modern iraqis are a mix of sumerian and arab?

[vasterastjej]

Sumerians stopped to exist as sumerians thousands of years ago, you can say that they mixed with Akkadians(Arabians/Semitic populations who migrated from Arabian peninsula, the origin of all Semite), later on Assyrians and then Amorites(Bedouin-like Arabians) who mixed with Akkadians and gave rise to Babylonians, and modern Iraqi Arabian Semitic tribes are descendants of Akkadians and their followers, DNA-based studies compared to Babylonian bone remnants proved that, I hope u got an answer

[FlashVirus]

Thank you for your answer. It makes more sense now. Although I would bet that modern iraqis still carry Sumerian blood and not just purely Semitic. Interesting.

[ASSYRIANHERO]

Sumerians descended from Akkadians, they came from Mesopotamia, but later became Assyrians aftre king Ashur established his first empire in North Iraq (Assyria) with Nineveh (Mosul today) as its capital, peace

[ASSYRIANHERO]

Very few knows about the sumerians, but most Assyrians know that Sumerians are same as Assyrians.They were called Sumerians because of the region they lived in was named Sumer, just like Akkadians who lived in Akkad (Syria, south east turkey Anatolia) and the Chaldeans who lived in Babylon (central and south iraq) but they are all Assyrians in origin, the first Man was Ashur and he was the grandson of Shem , peace

[iraqswiss]

iraq is iraq :D

[vasterastjej]

this is how it was & this is how it will become!!!!

[kingleel]

You forgot to mention on purpose the FACT that the Sumerian's were BLACK PEOPLE. Sumerian's descended from Sumer who is a descendant of the Great Ham.
