Understanding Mesopotamian Civilization.

cudowny odcinek bratku dziekuje bardzo 😊

Amazing video, such a pleasure to have in depth content like this; Keep it up !

I ❤ MOSPOTAMIA

Lil Pump the philosopher

In 20'000 years the Ocean rose 400 feet and slowed in the last 6,000. Much of the History is under water.

Its wild how even 5,000 years ago, people were killing other people over resources or faith. Seems whenever things get difficult, attack your neighbors. Has anything really changed that much?

Beautiful. I would watch this just to get out of modern society and be in a different culture and time for a bit or hopefully more.

U should lean vedi astrology to get amazed

So Mesopotamia had no contact or limited contact with the sea people?

I have a 12 incher.

Was that a Robert E Howard quote?' Between the years' etc.

I cannot figure out how this guy says his “L” sounds.

The thumbnail with the Subotai quote drew me in. Nice work😘👌

Did I see the "Tower of Babel" twice in this video???? You didn't mention it 1 time - you can not take that part out. In my mind the city and the tower were thousands of years a part.

I had never questioned that thought until right now......

Religion of peace peacefully stopping violent statues and evil books

So basically, cars are the source of modern greed

Early human civ sounded terrible

Whatifalthist videos are pure joy of bedtime stories for me.

Ngl, this is very detailed, but still not great

Good Job "Lil Pump" You are part of a Historical Lecture. YOU DID IT.

I like your videos but you have misunderstood the Christian religion entirely. It is not a guilt based religion at all if one actually reads the Bible. Catholicism resulted in control through guilt, however scripture itself says that there is no condemnation for those who are living in Christ Jesus.

You should do an episode about Egypt.

Your the biggest nerd I never knew I always wanted.

Dude talks of ancient civilizations and mentions pakistan as indian civilization 🤣🤣 pakistan is not even older than my grandmother 🤣🤣

Btw astrology seems to have a pattern there. And its probably your exposure to a happy outside, social summer or a dark sad introverted winter in your first developing months

Interesting how the Ice Ages ended with flooding and the mixing of three different races in the Middle East. Almost like Noah and his three sons repopulating the world after a massive flood. Perhaps that was the ancient Hebrews' way of remembering it.

Lake Mega Chad gets me every damn time

God bless Cyaxares

I'm interested to know more about the Iranian civilization, they seem to be the nomads who became civilized, it seems intriguing to me

Lake megachad

@whatifalthist can we get a video discussing your opinion on graham hancocks theory about ancient civilization.

i wish people didn't burn all the great cities down

Please do more ancient world history!

I feel like studying these oldest civilizations helps us understand what the real instincts we are born with are. I understand modern people better when I understand the patterns peopld naturally fell into when civilizations were just starting out.

Ancient religions were a mix of fear, shame and guilt just like modern religions.
Gods have always been, and largely continue to be, perceived as both capricious self-interested assholes and moralistic law-givers creating and sustaining civilization, justice and social order. Even a slight familiarity with ancient culture should give you a pretty good idea of this.

Mesopotamia was no different. Mesopotamian rulers routinely strove to legitimize their rule by linking it to the will of Shamash, and by suppressing debt-peonage in order to maintain the social order.

Also, using supposed divine favor as justification for political and economic power is just standard practice for any civilization, nothing unique about it.

Mad respect for the Conan of Cimmeria reference in the title.

Why Abraham breaking his father’s idols was so significant

This is one of my favorite historical eras. I learned a lot from your video, and I enjoyed your video very much. One trivia I wanted to add is about early Mesopotamian chariots. Many of the horses that pulled these chariots were actually not horses but a hybrid from crossbreeding wild onagers with donkeys. Onagers (wild asses) are very hardy and large enough to pull a chariot, but they have never been able to be successfully tamed to harness... too wild and fierce. Instead, Mesopotamiams were able to breed onagers with donkeys to create an equine large and tough to pull a chariot but also trainable. Some of the chariot artwork you show in your excellent video depicts these onager hybrids with the long ears, donkey tails and primitive dun coloring. Later, the first true horses pulling chariots were probably ancestors to the Caspian horse, a rare strong and small horse breed (small as a pony but considered a horse) from Iran.

This is like college, but free

Waiting for the second coming of lake giga chad

I still don't get why Atlantis was pictured in the thumbnail, could someone explain this?

Thanks

History should really be described as B.M. (before Mesopotamia) not B.C.

You said that Mesopotamian civilization had no sense of history, but I remember listening to Dan Carlin’s King of Kings series and he talks about how there was a Babylonian king who did archaeological digs to find stuff from older dynasties. Granted this I think was in the last century or so of traditional Mesopotamian civilization, but still.
