Ancient Mesopotamia (clip)

[sonic12352]

nice



[theend1245]

What's Difference between Babylonians, Assyrians, Sumerians and Persians ? where they all empires that succeeded one another ? or they all occurred simultaneously ?

[Treckorz]

@theend1245 They succeeded eachother

[theend1245]

this was happening in the middleast while Europeans and Chinese were carving in Caves haha

[xxashleyxx28]

Uggggh i dont want to take the test on mesopotamia!

[Treckorz]

@AlainYaramis Huh are you 8 years old? First written language in the world was the Sumerian language :/ old assyrian language derived from akkadian. Assyrians today are no way fully assyrian, they where conqured by the akkadian empire they mixed with them and the babylonians over over 3000 years!

[Helix1396]

If it wasn't for us Assyrians, the world wouldn't be the same!

[Erky19]

bbbbbbbbbbobbbbboooooooooooooo­oooooo

[Blaxraptor]

[wildboys434]

[Ninearm]

Imagine Abram... or rather Abraham walking around there.... AWESOME!!

[mmahde1985]

One day IRAQ will rise again and become a great nation once more.

[goran21715]

The civilization of Mesopotamia was built by the inhabitants of the Zagros Mountains,where the oldest archaeological evidence shows that since the establishment of the first farming village in Garmo in the seventh millennium BC and then went down to the east of the Tigris Nuzi and then toTel Hassouna west of the Tigris to Samarra, and then to Akaragov west of Baghdad,which is the first Agricultural villages which was established in Mesopotamia which is the period of( 7000-3000) B.C ZAGROS PEOPLE

[SuperBananafication1]

Is it bad I'm using this as revision for my MA Archaeology exam? Yep. Oh well.

[CHICostaRican]

God Bless the ancient Assyrians! May God Bless us all!

[spidex3000]

The guy in the video sounds like bugs bunny

[X1termanator]

iran and iraq forever

[AlainYaramis]

@X1termanator

Assyrian for ever

Not iran I hate Iran

[hamberg42]

this video is idiotic.

everyone knows the first known battery was from this area like 5000 years ago.

[AssyrianQatola]

a free assyria is what assyrians worldwide need

[1980vince]

sumeria is boring.

[milekrizman]

Sumerian should be made official language beside Kurdish.

Iraqi Arabs are in fact arabized Sumerians. Iraqis should revive Sumerian as did Jews with Hebrew in 20. century.

[Toniito]

Mesopotamia = Assyrian Empire

[olisaoli]

This video helped me out in my Art History class:)

[Akuru777]

let's see....why are they in ruins today??? hmmm most ancient cities are still thriving. These are in ruins...i wonder why they were destroyed.

[marklosextremus]

@Akuru777 most ancient cities are destroyed

[xxPeanutCannibal]

Thatks so much! :D

[patsyd80]

wow it seems since the Muslim rashadin caliph invasion of mesopotamia things have really gone down hill. Maybe it would be a better place if they still believed in the ancient god Marduk and not allah?

[POKETHEMAN24]

i like the flute

[imdabestest1000]

wow.....i fell asleep after i heard the word ancient...ha jkjk this happens to be REALLY boring BUT also very helppful so tyty

[amessianicjew]

actually war destroyed most of the cities

[ashmontana]

while the europians were jungle and cave men, middle east has this. And now theyr pretending that middle easterns are cave men. bs

[ImalHasan]

Genesis 10

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Iraq, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

[acr08807]

@ImalHasan You left out the part about Santa Claus and Rudolph.

[ImalHasan]

@acr08807

oh on I didnt, santa claus and rudolph is european stories : -}

[ImalHasan]

the orignal builders and founders of Mesopotamia were NOT SEMITES! THATS A JEWISH LIE! THEY WERE HAMITES!

[acr08807]

@ImalHasan If you say it in ALL CAPS, it must be true.

[Battle4front]

Thank you for positive comments. Your feedback mean alot.

[narrowcross]

Iraq and maybe modern day Kuwaitis Arab, Kurdish and Assyrian natives are all the same! We are all native of this land! Sunni, Shia’s and Assyrian Catholic STOP fighting, it ONLY makes us weaker as a nation!

People of Iraq UNITE!

[JLCKLZ]

@narrowcross yea, try getting that through the terrosists minds. Us Assyrians already want that.

[narrowcross]

@JLCKLZ Trust me so do I!!! There a fucking humiliation and bunch a cowards!

[Toniito]

@narrowcross Of all the people you mentioned it's only Assyrians that are mesopotamians. Just for fact !

[Mesopotamiansdfka91]

@Toniito shut up

[1killer2lover3hater]

@Toniito actually arabs of iraq are native to there descendent from the akadians. they just adopted the arabic language, and the proof is if you compare iraqi arabic speakers and any other arabic speaker you'll know the difference. even assyrians if you teach them arabic you'll hear the same accent

[KingBiba97]

@narrowcross I am Assyrian. North should be Assyria, south west sunni south east shia.

[jggrow]

the whole of our civilisasion begins at least 4000 years before.

[Icemelle]

i am doing this research for hw

[Ziggurathss]

[RealStuffDiggerrr]

i love old historical documenteries.....mystic

[Assyria4eva]

Assyria will rise!

[godzilla964]

Mankind's first established civilization.

[thefaceinface]

@godzilla964 Nope better look across the pond at a culture set up by a ancient Lake.

[robb88barca]

wrong...assyrians is the right

[Thundralight]

Babylon is where it will probably all end too

[maklokiper]

and the one who gives knowledge to Sumerian was the Annunaki

[MrMohdrehankhan]

great one.... thankx!!!  I learnt for my examination by watching this vids

[kingbigdawg9]

wow dumbass british contradictions............i wont even rip on this video ASSYRIA LIVES

[okeeno27]

[UmakeMeSYK]

[ThelastAssyrian]

all ASSYRIAN PEOPLE LONG LIVE ASSYRIAN MESOPTAMIA.

[redmanghost]

what kind of jerk would doubt the importance of the invention of the wheel

[dennytothez]

funny how mankind doesnt REALLY evolve :P

[MentalHenryKissinger]

Watch 6:00 onward.....People called Semites? Ahemmm..No wonder who invaded Iraq..Fucking bastards

[Elany13]

Invaded? The Semites did a great job.

Babylone was a jewel!

[babylonlion11]

Adam and Eve were created in Iraq, Abaraham was from Iraq in the City of Ur which means that the Adnani Arabs, Moses, Jesus, Joseph, David, Jesus, Virgin Mary, Prophet Muhammed were all originally from IRAQ

[ChairmanBlimp]

its a shame that nowadays many in the west are ignorant to the role of iraq in the history of civilization.

also, the narrator sounds like charlton heston

[TruthSeeker115]

most of our religious history comes from the sumerian tablets. the stories told on the tablets are repeated in the bible and the koran, the stories have been moved around interpeted, and translated into different languages. "if first we see through a window, we must open it and explore the world of which we wish to understand."

[nickolas177]

TruthSeeker115: What you are saying is true but that won't help you in putting down the religion, since 5000 before Sumerians people had religion but writing was not invented yet so that they could pass their message to our generation. What is left from Sumerians is their tablets in which many of the stories are comparable with bible and quran, so they could have got those stories from their ancestors.

[SLORRIFJART321]

Our history goes much further back than this, and religious stories can definitely be told verbally. But of cause then they are not so easy to trace.

[TheEndiku]

Wow they actually taught something back in the day im kinda shocked.. nowadays all you get in the hsitory classroom is a detailed legitimised account on justifying murder...

[sapiensape]

Two film errors: (1) Hammurabi is standing in front of a seated Shamash (the sun god) on the Hanmmurabi Law Stele; (2) Nineveh is too far north on the provided map.

[xSPDSx]

ASSYRIAN PEOPLE

[sixstringdealey]

this video is so old yet none of this history is taught in school. :/

i wuld have paid much more attention if we learned interesting history like this back then. :P

[zerxze258]

im learning about this right now

[Nehla623]

Cool. But btw just so you know all this is mentioned in the koran and im not kidding i swear if you want me to prove it ill prove it

[curiousone2530]

Please do

[curiousone2530]

Why do u all not see ...this IS the history of man ...not some holy book gibberish...its a old clip but still true ,the people of that region gave birth to the world in many ways.

[Nehla623]

the whole history of man is in the koran, the holy book of all time. And its not gibberish!

[curiousone2530]

I will be glad to debate that issue with you. If you look to the origins of the koran you will find abraham same as jews and jesus people...Where was god before abraham?? Look to history with a open mind ,you will find all of you worship a god who deserves no worship

[JBrox777]

thanx this video helped me alot with my project :)

[iraqibodybuilder]

with all my respect to the phero's (egypt) and Roma civizalation, Iraq is the real Deal, we r the birth of the world. Abraham, noah and jesus were born there.

[mikeblaze2e]

Great Movie:))

[colmmernagh]

This is garbage !!!

Why didnt they talk about nebakanezer destroying the Jewish temple in jeruslam and cyrus conquering babylon and freeing the jews. Why did they make the semites out to be tall and sumerians to be small, this is propaganda and fuckn stupid propaganda at that, it must be made for kids or something !!

[RMFS1993]

if iam syriac assyrian (suryoyo) , am i from bablylon or assyria?

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

You would be from Assyria (The Syrian part, not Iraq)

[RMFS1993]

The people from Babylon, what are their names today?

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

Babylonians

[RMFS1993]

no one is calling himself for babylonian

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

Yeah i know,because they say Iraqis. But you asked me what they are called

[i2tg]

just cuz hes assyrian that doesn't mean he would be syrian ! Assyria and Syria are totally dissimilar

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

Well if you read what i and him wrote, then you can see that he said he was "Syriac" Assyrian and they are from the Syrian part. Are you American???

[i2tg]

Yep.

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

Well then why did you think you knew about this part of the world???

[milnusthegnome]

neither, both cultures are ancient and their kingdoms, unexistant

[edan32]

I am from Iraq and I love the dust of Iraq is a country Iraq Iraq has oil, mercury, and fertile soil Thank you for this report Dea

[abcd6111]

yayayayayyayayayaya assyrians r the best <3 im a proud assyrian =D

[KhyberBoy09]

the man who invented civilization is Sid Meier, he was the king of Akkad, the god of Sumer

[KazuyaBadass]

( Before you go further, please note that I am Iraqi myself so don't assume anything )

Fuck the Iraqi government, fucking worthless feces. You don't know how much I want to defecate on their faces right now, they don't' deserve this great country. WE DESERVE A BETTER GOVERNMENT !

But who cares anyway most educated and open minded Iraqis left the country for what seemed like ages ago and it's mostly narrow-minded buttfucks left in there.

[sharon5006]

shut up asshole

[sn291825]

I had to do a play for mesopotamia and i had to be the assyrians. Assyrians rule.

[torterrarulz]

I Thought this was the B52's Music Video of "Mesopotamia"

[swanseagamegeeks]

[angydmitri]

Assyria is today the one part from Kurdistan

[d040725404]

[AssyrianForever112]

I LOVE MESOPOTAMIA

ASSYRIAN FOREVER

[Faisal1raq]

[REDWINGSRED36]

@Faisal1raq Neat!! God Bless!

[marklosextremus]

@Faisal1raq it isnt a country anymore

[yanfeb15]

?? how did you relate this answer to the video??

[owl2366]

wow this video helps me me out alot for history

[Ezio3946]

@owl2366 same here man

[Akuru777]

@owl2366 excuse me, but Jerusalem and Iran are still thriving. Babylon was wiped out by God for their insolence and wicked ways.

[acr08807]

@Akuru777 I have some splinters from the One True Cross in my storage locker. Would you be interested in purchasing them?

[Maritzaritzagal]

King Hubuarri Made Mostly Curel Laws and Most Of Them Have To Put The Person In Death THATS MEAN

[sapiensape]

Click on my username sapiensape (in blue appended to this comment box) for 15 videos on the Mesopotamian background to the Bible's Garden of Eden story based on research by PhD scholars' research in profesional journals, monographs, and scholarly tomes, 1862-2009.

[G3ZAAHS]

I collected some great puzzle solvers, and history vidios of the earth as we know it. Check out my channel...you will save more time by not having to wander thru all the other related vidios.

[CrowdPleeza]

Does anyone know what ancient Mesopotamians used to style their beards and hair? Is there a youtube clip or web link on this?

[bloodcheif]

oil

[gogogokapamilya]

I'm sorry for asking but, does anybody know where I can find the Documentary: "Mesopotamia returns to Eden" or "Mesopotamia: return to Eden"

[redwine65]

watch?v=7JL1G5R3yFs&feature=ch­annel_page

[himow]

ancient of mesopotamia & babylon (baghdad) the creature of every thing from civilization to education, writing.....

[Nikemo154]

Syriac are arameans and we are same people with assyrians/chaldeans

i call my self "Suryoyo" in my langugage witch is 6000 years old maybe more.

Syriac=Suryoyo

Syriac/assyrian/chaldeans are same people!

TIHE SURYOYE!!!

[Turksarebarbarians]

The downfall of the Old Babylonian Kingdom followed the expedition of the Hittite king Mursilis I who sacked the city , rather than the rise of Assyria, as the narrator seems to suggest. After that event Babylon was ruled by the barbarian Kassites for c. 500 years.

[00IslamKiller00]

I so fucking love ur name!!!!!!! 5 stars only for ut name!!!!!

[Turksarebarbarians]

Thanks, my friend. ;) It's history or rather life that suggest such names. Turks are simply barbarians (=99,8% Moslem -only the Saudis beat them by 0,1%- yet allegedly quite "secular";). But such names attract also censors trying to curtail and stop one's comments. YouTube is censored.I know it from my experience.

[Turksarebarbarians]

I forgot to add that I like your name very much too.

[AgentBerjung00]

It help me a lot on my History....Thanks

[nameofthepen]

"In reality its a bribe"

-putyourbrainingear

Can you explain that a bit please?

[nameofthepen]

Then why are they still on US welfare?

[wallpaperkilla]

too bad all this is probably blown up by now. we americans really have no concern about this stuff.

[scatcam]

ALAM!!!  BOOM

[asifshah6]

the video is inspiring, the comments I've read prove that we are still on the decline since these great civilisations, as we are too caught up in racial, religious, political and other issues. Humanity is no more. Neither is the 'West"... civilized.

[Toniito]

Long Live Assyria !!!!!

[MrIraq1]

Iraq!!!

[SilvanCleric]

Wooooah this video is like old.

Isn't it funny how alot of the comments really don't have anything to do with what the video is?

[MIRCAVA4EVER]

Im proud to be an assyrian, we invented Beer, the wheel, Money, Written Language, arrows and shields, riligon, farming and millions more things.

islam invented terror and injustice religion for others

and for their woman.lol...lol...islam give nothing for humanity...

[Assyrian333]

LOL!

Can you be any more jealous?

Pathetic.

[peymaania]

I was responding to someone else's commentry. But seriously the Mid-East needs to get over its glorious past syndrome and improve the lives of its

citizens TODAY! Like Rightaway!

[Assyrian333]

That's true, they can start by how they treat the original people of the land...

[assyriangabare]

Fuck arch, Pottery, writing and asstronomy haa

u fuckin pice of shit go and tell ur fuckin people to dont go to school no writing, driving cars and tell them to be animals..

[skylark68]

Sweet '72 GMC pickup that it shows around 3:55 or so. Plus the awesome disco/funk music that cues at about the same time...

[jwad2006]

look at the country now.... i cant even visit my country anymore!

[PsboyX360]

you got that right my friend.

[boostah27]

well anyway, sneezy and sleepy walked among the black death, trouser where inevitable so what can you say to that.

[baghdadi89]

IRAQ.....FIRST COUNTRY ON EARTH

[fromdirttodustpro1]

Actually China was I believe

[Kinghercules]

So I gues Egpt wasnt a country.

[PsboyX360]

you remind me of my best friend, he is Iraqi and proud that his country is the first, presonally, from all the arabs I have met, iraqi's were the nicest people.

[djalirecords]

kurds are not sumerians.. kurds are ayran people they relate to persians. arabs are semites people.. northern arabs came from ishamel son of abraham and abraham is from city of Ur in southern iraq and he was babylonian.

[OrthodoxPower1987]

musicofepirus stop lying fucking turk we assyrians are around the world filthy turkbitch come to me and say that

[MusicOfEpirus]

what are the assyrians exactly today?

i have an assyrian friend and he's a Christian Turk.

[Assyrian333]

Assyrians today are scattered all over the globe due to the persecution they've received for being Muslim in the Middle East.

Assyrians are indigenous to the Middle East, and are found in almost every country.

[YarrB3tchTarr]

It's so sad we take Mesopotamia (commonly known as Iraq) is also taken for granted. It was the cradle of civilization and now it is rapidly deteoriorating.

[orkasteez]

so right an as an american in a way i am personally responsible a bunch of war mongering punk bitches run my country though the people here are just as much if not more enslaved than those they destroy, to make people out to be the bad guy is the work of the bad guy...if that makes sence

[jjMANGAnotMe]

thank you so much! i was looking for a video like this!

[mano0010]

assyrians lived there!!! finally i found a proff

[YarrB3tchTarr]

that is because they conquered Mesopotamia a while ago.
