Once I was early for my class and waited outside. Some students had a lecture on Ancient China. The professor talked about the first emperor and the soap opera that was his family. I couldn't believe how someone was able to tell this interesting and in parts funny story so boring it was unbearable...

You guys are lucky, in Brazil the curriculum has two obligatory topics in 'Ancient History', generally being Greece (and Helenistic period) and Rome. Extra topics in Antiquity are very rare, very in-between and also extremely varied (in range), depending almost exclusively on the professors available at the universities.

Man... I wonder how many powerful and impactful kings go uncredited and forgotten due to not having their deeds written down or because those texts were lost to time. This has to be my 5th comment... These videos are always incredibly thought provoking.

Hey Cy! Its interesting to see that Babylon still mantain a stream of local leaders even during the worst of the dark ages. I wonder, at the time of Nabu-shuma-ishkun can we talk of a recovery from the bronze age collapse in the region or the violence and chaos were a continuation of those times? Also this conflict in Borsippa looks a lot as ethnic cleansing the letter feels as if madness took over all those peoples and they kill each other.

Great presentation CY! Very obscure historical era. My understanding is that Nabonassar (748-734 bc) was an ally of assyria under tiglath pileser 3 against the aramean factions who where lead by the chaldeans. (Chaldeans meaning something like patrician senators in rome) by 732, nabu-mukin-zeri, an aramean ally of assyria then seized the throne. Making babylon some kind of allied state of assyria. But he revolted, and thus was replaced by the assyrian emperor himself. Then came marduk-apla-iddina 2 (biblical merodach baladan) of the elite chaldean nobility, who secretly plotted to overthrow assyria...

@HistorywithCy

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it! Yes, you are correct, Nabonassar, if not officially allied with Tiglath-Pileser III, greatly benefited from the latter's invasion because he essentially got rid of or greatly weakened his rivals, which was one less thing for him to worry about since he was technically a usurper. Marduk-apla-iddina II launched two major revolts, the first during Sargon II's reign and then again during Esarhaddon's. Thanks so much for stopping by and so glad that there are people like you who take a great interest in this stuff. More to come for sure, probably a special podcast on just the century when Assyria ruled over Babylon. Thanks again, stay safe!

Hey CY i want to ask a question, is there anything about Chaldean Kings that appears on historical records before 850 BC ?

Sounds like the title of a noir crime novel... "The wind howled around the ziggurat like my long-suffering head after another bender. When the dame came around the corner, I felt like howling at the moon myself. Ishtar priestess, of course. Curved like the moon I was about to do a wolf on. Curved like the swords the thugs were carrying who came running behind her."

@HistorywithCy

Hi! More or less, Ur/Uruk, basically southern Babylonia, what used to be called Sumer. At the time, that region was going through a bit of decline, though some of their kings were able to extend their authority as far as Nippur due to evidence from documents found in temples there stating Sealand kings' presence there as well as funding for temples. It's a really mysterious time that unfortunately not many artifacts from there have been found. Most of what we know about the Sealand dynasty comes from the texts of other Babylonian dynasties that make reference to it. We call it Sealand because that's what it's referred to in these texts. Thanks again for stopping by, really appreciate it. More to comes, stay safe!

The mesopotamian Akkadian monarchs' names which relate to their link to the mesoptamian gods are fascinating to me.... And entertaining! Compared to let's say a King Philip who like horses (to ride or on his plate not always sure!)....

So in ancient times, they were essentially two different ethnic groups...the Aramaeans, called by most others Aramu, were the largest and their language, Aramaic, eventually became the most dominant form of communication in region for probably at least a millennium. The Chaldeans, called Kaldi in ancient texts, were another group that lived mostly in southern Babylonia, especially in the marshlands by the Gulf. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

So for the Aramaeans, many scholars believe that they were simply the Iron Age descendants of the Amorites of old, and there is a lot of evidence (language, what we know of their lifestyle) to support this. They are believed to have probably originated in the area that is the Jebel Bishri region of Syria, they spread out quite a bit farther than that.
