I wanted to learn more about it and for 3 months now I've flown down a rabbit hole that lead me to this stuff going back to the emerald scrolls supposedly written before the anunnaki. This stuff is absolutely fascinating and the fact that all this stuff is here at our finger tips because all the people that decided to share their knowledge is so amazing and an absolute blessing! I'm infatuated with this stuff now and I thank all the people that put in all the work to share this

am an Iraqi citizen. I tell you that there are wonders and wonders in Iraq. In Iraq, there are in every civilization ax and traces of the Sumerians and Babylonians. Talking about Iraq does not end because it is the origin of humanity. Faithful revealed the prophets and messengers. And you, as a European citizen, thank you for this work and spreading the history of Iraq, and that it is not only the history of Iraq, but the history of mankind. thank you brother.

Wow, amazing! I would really love to visit your city, the ancient Ur, and also Uruk and Babylon. I'm an enthusiast of ancient Sumerian myths and religions. But I'm afraid that this particular interest could be a problem. If you don't mind, could you, please, share your opinion on how foreigners asking about the old Gods are perceived by the population at large? Because, even if I pretend to be a common tourist, people may notice my awe and beatitude when visiting the temple of Inanna, for instance. Of course I respect everybody's religion and faith, and I don't want to cause any trouble - or to get caught into any. Of course, as in any other place in the world, I obviously would try to keep a low profile. But I admit to not knowing what to expect. So I appreciate if you could give me - give us all - your perspective on this matter and/or advice. It's in my bucket list: I will visit Babylon in this lifetime. BTW, greetings from Brazil. Wish you health and peace!

Two different schools of teaching. The old style "didactic" Chalk and talk - child's function is to sit down and obey the orator, whom may try to fire a question to catch them out - boo. Second type: Experiential, was only being introduced, in your time (Quasitor, Kaliedoscope) to psychology in UK from America: Basic philosophy it's not what the teacher spouts on about, it's what the child learns. Also, it's the student that should direct his own path. Guru Carl Rogers book Freedom to learn. Encounter groups, Summerhill. The issue with Experiential learning is that it can become to lax, lacking in structure. You need somewhere in the middle to be effective - IMO

As customary, I loved this meticulously researched documentary. Incidentally, Pietro della Valle (1586-1652) was the first European who found the ruins of UR, while travelling through Mesopotamia along with his Assyrian Christian wife in 1625. Because at that time the Persian and Ottoman empires were at war over the rule of Bagdad, his travelling guides suggested that they located a site in order to hide from a suspicious group of men, who looked as though they were galloping in their direction. As such, by sheer coincidence they "stumbled" upon a huge structure in their horizon, to which they flocked and where they spent a few days. Della Valle was fascinated by the monumental size and quality of the huge walls as well as to the multitude of cuneiform writings which appeared throughout the site. Thanks for yet another wonderful upload.

This is an amazing story told in it's entirety. It is very long and gradually the Sumerians and their language disappear after a very long time and very many wars, and horrible happenings and killings or centuries. However their gift of writing and concise way or ordering and running a country prevails. The history seems to go on forever, but the most important parts are still there. Cynthia Allen-McLaglen

I cannot thank you enough. I have learned from this 1 hour video much more than from years of study. I'm sure it took a lot of effort to make, with all the searching and animations. Videos like this make me thank to Enlil and all the Gods for the existence of KZread.

Amazing job. Your videos help my Assyrian family learn about our cultural ancestors. They will love this one, thank you!

Thanks my friend, so glad that you like this, means a lot and motivates me to put out more. Actually if you are just listening at work, I release the longer episodes (including this one) as podcasts that you can listen to without the ads on KZread, so that might be good at work. Thanks also for the feedback, really helps me to make these better. More to come soon, stay tuned and safe!

Thank you so much for making these educational and fun at the same time videos. Just perfect and very informative.

This is great! Thank you!

Really enjoyed this excellent work. And your music choice also was as meticulous as the presentation. Thank you.

This must have taken so long, thank you for this!

At last!! Someone who clearly explains the transition from early agriculture to the first full fledged civilization and tells the story, fascinating!

Made my day!! I love the Sumerians

Amazing job! Very detailed and organized. I like the way you included the people before the Sumerians. It gives me a perspective of how the people evolved. Very fascinating history! Really enjoyed this presentation.

@Jason "I remember the days when writing a paper required library research of material deemed credible enough to print and then composing something called a "bibliography" to make our work credible", It still is, as the OP says "it helped a lot", not that they were going to copy and paste every thing from it and call it their own, they now have a good list of things and dates to research and have saved years of not going round in circles

@@Jason-rp3jg I'm sure that was precisely what Cy did to produce this amazing video which isn't meant to be used as a scientific piece, but to quench the curiosity of casual historians or common people interested in history, or even as a starting point for a high school student to deepen their knowledge in a very accessible way. There was also a time when you had to travel to Alexandria to read "Argonautica" but now you can find it online. It's called development and the more accessible knowledge is the more educated common folk is. There's no advanced nation without a generally well-educated people. Knowledge accessible only to the intellectual elites tend to fall into tyrannical regimes and nobody likes tyranny, do we?

My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed this. Was a lot of fun to make and worth the time. I think I'll do more of these types of videos in the future, just break them up into sections with time stamps. I think it might be better for you all to have all the information at once rather than over the span of several months. Anyway, thanks again, really appreciate the support...stay safe!
