I always find the relationship of ancient diviners and secular rulers interesting.

Well, if a bird, for instance, had entrails that looked “sickly” or “off”, that can possibly predict famines due to pests and disease. Also, headaches and other ills can be attributed to low air pressure - it can even screw with mental health - and which usually comes before a storm, whether it be mild or heavy, making it predictable. People in antiquity used their senses a lot more than we do, now that we can depend on tech. They were more in touch with the world, it wouldn’t surprise me if they could predict say, 50-70% of natural disasters with their senses alone. Only they used esoteric language to describe the how’s and why’s, and that usually makes moderns shake their heads and refuse to lend them any credence.

They sacked the City of Waset (Called "Thebes" by the Greeks) and its great temples and libraries. They carted off the books (papyrus scrolls) to Assyria and that is how King Ashurbanipal developed the library in Assyria.

Definitely ancient Sumerian history and mythology fascinating. Thanks to Ashurbanipal, today we know about the Anunnaki and the ancient stories about them described by the Sumerians. Though the amazing library of Ashurbanipal which contained knowledge from all over the world was burnt down, the records of the ancient Sumerians survived. But how so? Well, actually, thanks to the cuneiform tablets being on clay in the fire, they were actually baked and preserved intact until their discovery. However, the more interesting fact is that many of the stories described in these tablets relating to the religion and beliefs of the ancient Sumerians in the Anunnaki came from the planet Nibiru , who appear to be deities of the Sumerians are contained in the Bible and the Pentateuch of the Torah, which is the original source of the Old Testament. Only the names of the characters are different. So the question follows , were biblical accounts copied from ancient Sumerian history? This we can ask today thanks to the Sumerian, Ashurbanipal and some of the earliest written records surviving in his personal library.

Very cool people, kicked ass in good and bad ❤

Shamash is actually the sun in Aries specifically and related to Mars and Prometheus. Mars is the central spirit here and its importance in military and imperialism is essential to understand of this archetype. Mars is often depicted as a lion headed man or male lions. Sometimes with snakes. This spirit which is known as the spirit of violence and the gatekeeper of the underworld like Nergal is the monotheistic god from cultures like Cuthites Gutians Elamites ammonites kassites which later are related to Gothic and Celtic cultures. This spirit has many names like Adad Khnum Typhon Hades Nergal etc. He is also related to the golden eagle, Ram, wolf and probably the Egyptian falcon gods. He is actually a representation of the intellect and his element is fire. He is also the firstborn like Aries. He is dry and barren and needs water.

We consult our own oracles in the modern day. Our economists and social scientists posture themselves as would-be prophets and the media plays into that. Yet somehow, with all our sophistication, we still can't predict the future as well as we'd like to believe we can.

Given that the Neo Assyrian city of Nineveh was located in Iraq, near Mosul, what’re your thoughts about the British London Museum having possession of its artifacts?

D Shepherd, and it certainly DOES NOT belong to the people who are ruling the Middle East at this present time. The Assyrian reliefs are being smashed and sold at a wholesale price. Just leave them in the world museum until the Assyrian bereaved people reach their ultimate independence and then they can ask for their returns.

Looking at Our people & smiling... We are Blessed that God left US in Stone, so the Europeans could find & continue to study US... it will help them get closer to God & his Humanity! 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾

5:45 I might have misinterpreted what you meant, but still: Sargon 2 and Senaherib lived in the late 8th - early 7th century bc, not late 6th - early 5th. By that time Assyrian empire was a hazy dream. Great bid, nonetheless. The more content on Assyria there is, the better)

Hi, thanks for the comment... I don't remember exactly what I said, but it if so it's a misspeak and error on my part. Thanks for correcting it! Yes, by 610 BC (7th century BC), the Neo-Assyrian Empire was officially gone. I'll do more on Assyria in the near future but the next video on Babylonia will also have a lot to do with Assyria as well, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
