So refreshing to learn about daily life, instead of kings and conquests.

So glad to get more ancient Mesopotamian content! When doing research for my Mesopotamian fantasy novellas, I must've left the library with at least 30 different books. (My public library has set their limit to 50 books checked out at any one time, thankfully.) If anyone is interested in this topic, I really enjoyed the book Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia by Stephen Bertman and the audiobook version of the Great Courses class titled Ancient Mesopotamia: Life in the Cradle of Civilization by Dr. Amanda Podany. This is such a fascinating era of history!

To clarify, a sizeable chunk of Enheduanna's work (which was usually religious poetry or hymns) has survived and is deciphered, but we have no idea how it was supposed to sound like since we only have the lyrics, not the musical notation. It's believed that a lot of ancient mesopotamian literature was intended to be sung, including the epic of gilgamesh - you can find a few youtube videos of attempts at putting it to music, though these are just educated guesses.

Humans really never change, do we? We play, we raise our children in our image. We pray, we wear pretty clothes and work to sustain ourselves and our neighbors. We tell stories, we sing and play instruments and wear makeup and build and read and write. If I were to meet a girl my age in Babylon, I think the both of us would tear up- I because even thousands of years ago people still cared for their children, and she because even thousands of years after her time, we still look up at the stars and wonder ‘what else is there?’

The Adamites in the Second Garden For thousands of years the sons of Adam labored along the rivers of Mesopotamia, working out their irrigation and flood-control problems to the south, perfecting their defenses to the north, and attempting to preserve their traditions of the glory of the first Eden. The heroism displayed in the leadership of the second garden constitutes one of the amazing and inspiring epics of Urantia’s history. These splendid souls never wholly lost sight of the purpose of the Adamic mission, and therefore did they valiantly fight off the influences of the surrounding and inferior tribes while they willingly sent forth their choicest sons and daughters in a steady stream as emissaries to the races of earth. Sometimes this expansion was depleting to the home culture, but always these superior peoples would rehabilitate themselves. The civilization, society, and cultural status of the Adamites were far above the general level of the evolutionary races of Urantia. Only among the old settlements of Van and Amadon and the Adamsonites was there a civilization in any way comparable. But the civilization of the second Eden was an artificial structure-it had not been evolved-and was therefore doomed to deteriorate until it reached a natural evolutionary level. Adam left a great intellectual and spiritual culture behind him, but it was not advanced in mechanical appliances since every civilization is limited by available natural resources, inherent genius, and sufficient leisure to insure inventive fruition. The civilization of the violet race was predicated on the presence of Adam and on the traditions of the first Eden. After Adam’s death and as these traditions grew dim through the passing millenniums, the cultural level of the Adamites steadily deteriorated until it reached a state of reciprocal balance with the status of the surrounding peoples and the naturally evolving cultural capacities of the violet race. But the Adamites were a real nation around 19,000 B.C., numbering four and a half million, and already they had poured forth millions of their progeny into the surrounding peoples. - The Urantia Book -

I know I have seen photos of bent-reed buildings that are still utilized by people who actually live in the marsh zones south of old Sumer as I recall ... it would be best to look up, might be that they're call Marsh People there?

Looked nothing like the picture of huts in the 9th minute ^ ... and the place was big, it was attractive, cozy, and perfect for that particular environment.

They're called Marsh Arabs, and their particular type of reed building is called Mudhif. You can find plenty of google image results - some look quite fancy!

@juanjuri6127

3 жыл бұрын

Not exactly an expert myself, but from what I gather the sumerian gods were almost always depicted with human appearance, though sometimes with some animal features, like wings, horns or talons (the horns might have just been a fancy headdress, it can be hard to tell). They weren't REPRESENTED as animals, but they were ASSOCIATED with them, which is to say, certain animals were used as symbols or shorthand for a particular deity. So, for example, Enki was a god of intelligence and magic, so snakes were considered to be kind of in his sphere, and sometimes were used to symbolize him, but that doesn't mean he was considered a snake god or to have a snake-like appearace in the way that, say, the mesoamericans did with Quetzalcoatl. Similarly, lions were associated with Inanna, but specifically tamed lions, because having control over wild beasts represented her power and authority. An, as far as I know, had no relation with bulls other than being in charge of the Bull of Heaven, which was, like, an actual literal bull. It's kind of similar to how christians have at times used the fish and the lamb as symbols of Jesus, and the dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, but that doesn't mean they believe in a fish god, lamb god or bird god. I think the one exception would be Kur, who was kind of a dragon-like underground monster, but as far as I know Kur was only considered a deity (or deity-ish figure) very early on, later Kur simply became the name of the underworld (i.e. a where, rather than a who), which was ruled by Ereshkigal, a more conventional human-like goddess.

Babylon was particularity a centralized kingdom that had deep roots in Satan worship, which was the equivalent of sun worship with blood sacrifices(children) and promiscuity as a general rule. These “kings” dabbled in witchcraft, alchemy, debauchery and homosexuality with anyone they pleased. These tall towers or altars were places of sacrifice to their gods! Most of this bloodline came down from the sons and daughters of Cain and his evil ways. Why doesn’t the narrator mention any of this?

Merritt Animation I’m not sure we are on the same page? Your links give clear proof of the worship of Marduk. Anything that came out of Babylon was connected to Marduk. Who do you think Marduk was? Babylon was connected to the creation of the Tower of Babel. What is your interpretation of the Tower of Babel? The Kabbalah was also a creation within the Babylonian empire. The beliefs in astrology, black magic, human sacrifices, alchemy are all occult worship systems.

@@NEMO-NEMO I think you're making a lot of assumptions here. Yes Marduk was the patron deity of Babylon, yet you're jumping to the conclusion that because he was such that everything in the city was centered around him. The Babylonians were polytheists you know (and Marduk wasn't the sun god, that was Shamash). Additionally, you make the assumption that as the Babylonians were pagans, they must have committed all the acts specified above But as the texts linked above describe, they at worst only were astrologers and practicers of black magic (I have no idea what you think that is. I assume generic spells). You offer no primary sources from the Babylonians or any of their predecessors committed human sacrifice or alchemy. Heck the Kabbalah has any occultist uses it these days was created by Jews, and the original concept is Assyrian, not Babylonian.

@@AymoTubeMusic The Sumerian language is not related to any other language, we don't know where they came from. Maybe they have always been there. Same with their neighbors, the Elamites. Their language is totally isolated too. Elam is in Iran but Elamite language is not related to any Iranian language. Kurdish is an Iranian language so it is related to other languages in Western Asia and even with ancient languages of India and Europe like Sanskrit or Celtic.

😂😂😂 your god isn't real

I don't mean to bitch, or disrespect this work, as it has good information. But this is probably why I was so bored with history as a kid. I don't want to stare at a bunch of paintings and hieroglyphs with all this "profound/mystical" music along with a narrator jabbering about the cultural customs. It makes it seem as if past eras are boring animated movies, and keeps them alien to us. Aside from the one clip on 1:34, this does nothing to show what actual "daily life" would've looked like. So the title is very misleading. Same as nearly every friggin' video I've seen in my life that depicts historical eras. Even the vast majority of FICTIONAL Medieval and Old West movies are just a bunch of romanticized fighting adventures, obviously exaggerated and unrealistic. I don't give a damn about any of this. That does not depict those eras in general...any more than military movies depict general contemporary life. Once, JUST ONCE, I want to see something that actually shows what day-to-day life would be like for an average person in a given era. An actual concept of a family conducting its daily affairs: waking the children and getting them ready for school, walking around the neighborhood (or equivalent to it), running into friends while shopping at the market, family dinners, recreational activities, etc. I know all of this existed in Mesopotamia. So why is this so friggin' hard to produce? End of rant.

😂 that’s a lotta bitching!

CE and BCE makes no sense because they date from the birth of Crist so why not use the proper way of BC and AD? Oh, your atheists. Now I understand 👍
