Rise and Fall of the Assyrian Empire

What horrible pronounciation!

Sennacherib never took Jerusalem in the bible. He lost his forces to a plague. In the end he was assassinated by his son's.

ASSRYAN

10 minutes at the end of this video asking for donations all these messianic care about is money

wasnt sennacherib murdered by his son

Assyrian shout out!!!!

The invaders Chaldeans along with Medes brought that last Mesopotamian power to an end for a beginning of foreign rulers all the way up to present time.
Even today the very strange relationship between some (Iraqi) in the south with the grandchildren of the Persian are doing the same to Iraq, bringing destruction and nothing else.‼️‼️‼️‼️

That stuff about iron around 16mis during this time was semi incorrect. Early wrought Iron that was used for the 500 years post collapse was not much better than bronze, and arguably inferior for both weapons and armor (Depending on the bronze as all bronze is not created equal. The reason they transitioned to Iron was because it was common and did not rely on complex trade networks to obtain tin and copper, with Tin being extremely rare (As rare as Uranium). Arsenic could also be used in making an inferior bronze, but the problems with that are obvious.
Forging iron took a while to perfect, and eventually a form of steel was developed by folding carbon into the metal within a forge well into the Iron age, and that ended Bronze as the preferred metal. However, Bronze could still compete and did so well into the middle ages. Early romans who had access to steel still used Bronze in helmets and early maces were made with Bronze heads, for example. :)
Bronze < Iron <Steel is a step progression that became popular due to media and games such as civilization. In reality, Bronze is an incredible ally that is harder than wrought iron and even low carbon steel, but not as malleable or easy to repair in the field. Please note I am not saying Steel or later alloys, but the earliest forms of Iron which they had just started experimenting with at the beginning of the collapse. Making steel that is superior to bronze requires about 2% Carbon which wasn't done early on.
If you were meaning this applied to later period stuff, then absolutely.

Had to play back 3 times bc kept hearing “he used the labor of enslaved CAT KIDS….” 😳😳😳

I still believe this channel is owned by the vocalist of the Sex Pistols

Kurdistan history, long live kurds

Noice

The original people of Assyria were not Semitic. Before 4000 BC, Southern Babylon was the original home of the Sumerians from India and Northern Babylon originally came from central Asia. The modern name Mesopotamia came from the original Madhya Vedi, according to the Historians History of the World (Vol 1 and 2, 1902). One of the most famous Kings of Babylon was Asur Bani Pal, a pure Sanskrit name. Both Hittite and Mitranis used to speak the Indo-European language. Their gods were Vedic gods.

HR Hall, curator of the British Museum wrote (Hall, 1939), “The ethnic type of the Sumerians so strongly marked in their statues and relief was as different from those of the races which surround them as was their language from those of the Semites; they were decidedly Indian in type. The face type of the average Indian of today is no doubt much the same as that of his race ancestors thousands of years ago. And it is by no means improbable that the Sumerians were an Indian race. It was in the Indian home, perhaps the Indus valley; we suppose for them, that their culture developed. There their writings may have invented and progressed from purely pictorial to simplified and abbreviated from which afterward in Babylonia took on its peculiar cuneiform appearance owing to its being written with a square-ended stylus on soft-clay. There is little doubt that India must have been one of the earliest centers of human civilization and it seems natural to suppose that the strange un-Semitic people who came from the East to civilize the West were of Indian origin, especially when we see with our eyes how very Indian the Sumerians were in type”.

There was a linguistic and ethnic resemblance between the Sumerians and the Dravidians, people from South India. Both Rig Veda and Mahabharata mentioned the Deva-Asura war, which lasted 32 years in which Devas, the Aryans of North India, driven other tribes. In both Harappa and Babylon, an unknown script was discovered, demonstrating a close connection between the Indus valley and Babylon. Woolley in Ur found a similar seal with a very early cuneiform inscription (Woolley, 1929). Indus culture is older than Sumerian and Egyptian culture (Hall, 1939, 1928).

As Assyrian we will conquered the whole world again

I'm adding "the sphere of influence of Assyria" to places I don't want to be reincarnated in. They're fascinating, but they also sound like absolutely terrifying rulers. :\

I'll take a shot at 13th century Baghdad instead, sounds healthier.

Neo-Assyrian Kings List ‘Various posers’ 😂😂 Great video! Thanks & keep it coming 👍

Your video and the comment section is very refreshing. I was watching another video about the Assyrian warfare and their cruelty and all I see in the comment sections are people saying "Proud Assyrian" or "Worship Ashur again and take back the glory days yada yada" so annoying.

Thank you from Hong Kong.

Check out the jewelry on those men. Somewhere down the line we decided it was less manly to wear jewelry.

B.C. "E."?

5 stars! It's got a unique view of a history I read many times, and that accent kicks ass. This guy is my newest favorite narrator.

When you read the earliest attempts by antiquity to give a formal world history, it's strange that all the Mesopotamian empires are simply considered as Assyria and Assyrian, as if they all attempted to rule and organize a basic idea and each in turn attempted it up until Alexander the Great then the Romans. That or they portrayed themselves as somehow being in succession to each other. Not sure why that is or how that came about (it's also the reason ancient near east studies was simply called Assyriology until relatively recently). There's also this mysterious Semiramis character who is constantly referred to by the ancient writers of history and a certain Bel or Belus being their first king (perhaps etymologically connected to the word Baal?).

THIS IS SO GREAT!! I'M EXCITED TO HAVE FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! WONDERFULLY DONE. THE PHOTOS, MAPS, AND RUNNING TIMELINE, ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL AS WELL AS INTERESTING. JUST NEED THE ORDER IN WHICH TO WATCH YOUR HISTORY OF THE WORLD SERIES. NUMBERING THEM WOULD HELP. THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!

Its one thing this poor bastds born a uk subject, but to be double querst(sic) with a stupid uk accent it terrible enought to change the channel. God, i cant stand the commonwealth bastards.

Thanks very much

You guys wanna know what's so cool? No Kurds on here trying to disclaim our rightful ancestry. Win for Assyrians! Lol.

The rise and fall of Trump America!

The ancient Assyrians and modern Assyrians are one in the same. The DNA is out there to prove the haplogroup of J2 and further markers that identifies the Assyrians to be a distinct people of MAT-ASHSHUR.

I don’t know why we have people on here still trying to infuse their AHLAMU identity and impose it on us or the community?

Is it NOT enough that we have paid for our sins through multiple Genocides, Massacres and Holocausts? Look to scholars that have written about this (Fred Aprim as one example)

Some facts for the less inclined or less educated folks among our very own people:

We don’t speak Aramaic, we speak Assyrian and this is well attested in the Church liturgy which Bishops and Deacon all have to go through to learn the language of the church. Go speak with peofessor Efrem Yildiz and his book which he’s clearly stated it to be ‘Assyrian’. He resides in Salamanca, Spain. Look him up.

And, we don’t speak Jesus’ language because Jesus spoke Hebrew and Assyrians predate Jesus.

Jews didn’t speak Aramaic as they received their language from the Ancient Assyrians when they were in exile. They call their language till this day ‘Ketav Ashurit’. Also look that up.

We have been at war in the Middle East and have been misrepresented as Ahlamu or Chaldean, etc, but this is all church ideology and brainwashing of the Vatican and certain organisations that are now rallying against my nation at the conventions, mainly the WCA org via Messo et al. One brainwashed Assyrian who thinks language is an ethnicity, like someone on this thread...

We are certainly not Arabs nor are we a Nomadic clan from the south Levant.

Nineveh was established in 6000BCE, this is historical and you can simply google the UNISCO site for more info. Assyrians predate the ‘Sumerian’ theory as the Sumarians are often confused with the ‘SHUMMARI’ (black headed people).

Again, please refrain from commenting if you have not done research on the Middle East and who Assyrians are...

Love this! I was kind of traumatized the other day after discovering the prehistory/ancient history community only to find it steaming with supremacists and ethnocentrists, so glad to find this channel!

Thank you I am following you from Nineveh👍🏻👍🏻🌺🌹🌹

As an assyrian I thank you for making this video. Make sure to mention we are alive and still here speaking our native Aramaic

For all mentions of Iron, read Steel.

Thanks for uploading this podcast from Chris. I am listen to VOL I - Prehistory right now. Awesome work for anyone who has not experienced it.

TGIF and we get a new video
