    Phew. Glad to have this one finally finished. I'm finally off to Ireland next week for a much anticipated journey into the islands incredible history as well as insights into my own family history. Of course many videos will follow! Video wise there are so many ridiculously epic projects in the works. This one on Akkad is a mere taste of what is to come in terms of the Bronze Age world! Don't forget to subscribe if you enjoy the content and leave a comment telling me what you'd like to see covered next. It all helps the algorithm gods to help the channel. Thanks all! See you on the next one. Right.. Back to work..

However the Nile is more stable due to it being fed by the Great lakes as apposed to just the rainfall from the Taurus mountains. Given the ages of history Egyptian farm land hasn't salted up don't know why . But yes it is rivers tigres and Euphrates or the blue and white Nile.

    I remember when this channel had 12K Subscribers Well done. Keep in mind the "Standards of Science and Research" prohibits using a Theory as Fact. "Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists" ignore this, the Wisdom of past Scholars, whom also realized that Academics were responsible for establishing a habit of being "Conscious in Thought" + "Applying Higher Mind" All negative thought energies are housed in the "Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind", ("fears, prejudices, Judgemental, jealousy, envy, insecurities, and the lack of self worth, self confidence, self esteem, etc.") The Higher Mind aka Mature Mind is where all Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside. Dig deep in the earlier books of History, for the "Mainstream Influence" took hold in the 1930's. "Authentic Academics" adhere to the "Standards of Science and Research" which prohibits using a Theory as Fact. Enjoy your Explorations and Discoveries ...

    The decipherment of cuneiform (Sanskrit 'wedge form or shaped') is perhaps the greatest, albeit forgotten aspect of this history. The man of whom the honour is owed is George Smith, an assistant of Henry Rawlinson at the British Museum, and not even a scholar. This was the man that pieced together the account of the Flood, and realised 1 piece was missing among the some 26,000 fragments in the museum. He was the man that went back to the site, climbed under the rubble to rummage the countless fragments of the library and found the missing fragment of Tablet 11. The flood was complete! George Smith died in Iraq aged 33 (from memory).

    The Sumerians were beautiful artisans! I’ve seen Queen Puabi’s artifacts at an exhibit in the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and they really stuck with me. Before you said Puabi’s name, I already felt the footage you were showing looked familiar. That doesn’t happen to me too often with historical societies (and I go to a lot of anthropological museums), really a testament to how strong of an impression seeing their crafts will leave on you! I really recommend anyone who is able to, go visit the Penn Museum. The exhibit on Queen Puabi and her people is pretty extensive! The jewelry especially is so ornate and finely smithed, it’s amazing to think how long ago people were already incredibly skilled in making beautiful things.

    41:42 It's really interesting to see that Ishtar was his patron goddess because in mythology Ishtar takes the Eanna temple and the city of Uruk from Anu signifying the change of power from a god of an older generation to a new generation goddess. Ishtar's myths definitely reflect Sargon's control of Sumer and his reign only cemented her worship throughout Mesopotamia as ''Queen of Heaven".
