Oh, oh and I almost forgot...the solar system tablet clearly shows differences in the various sizes of the planets. Based on the order, it details that Earth was bigger than Mars, Jupiter much larger than Mars and (Jupiter) just a bit bigger than Saturn, etc. Fun/debatable topic. Thank you all so much for watching. Many, many more videos to come - huge list awaits, and I will soon be able to upload more often! - Jimmy
Can't wait for more videos ! I ❤️ ur channel and support you 100% can't wait to hear about ur experience in Iraq .
The powers that be do not want the masses to be smart or educated. The world is actually still highly religious despite the rise of heretical atheists. Religion bought their power through control and scaremongering of the masses - they have their tentacles in our schools/hospitals/libraries etc, it's a behemoth of single mindedness. Slowly we unshackle these chains but it will take awhile to happen but people like Jimmy help us break through with insight! Love this stuff, keep it coming Jimmy - disclosure of all types will happen unless we end up in a nuclear pea soup!
Well... here in Brazil we learn about them
Welll... here in Brazil we learn about them
Bright Insight wait, hold the phone, they still teach stuff in schools? I call bullshit on that one.
I am a history teacher in the Philippines and the Sumerian civilization is part of Grade 7 and 8 in HS. Its interesting that in some parts of the world, it is not part of the curriculum
First time hearing of it, I'm 22 from UK
America is just propaganda teachings.
@@D-A-A- im from the UK aswell and im 17 and they never taught us this but i knew about it from self reasearch but im not a expert on this topic
Good on you!! America is controlled at every level.
First time and I’m from USA
I can honestly say from a first-hand account that when I was in Middle School 6th grade specifically we were hammered on the Sumerians. I went to school in Ohio and I remember my teacher Mr Swan again taught us all of this it was a really fun section to learn
Same here. Spent weeks on exactly this.
Now granted that was around ‘85-‘87
@@kent6732 Mine was in 2007.
Also in Slovakia we were taught the history about Sumerians and many others. Quite extensive.
In Finland we were taught the ancient history including sumerians in primary school. Etruskans as well, Assyrians, etc.
Sure? I wasnt taught that.. But i was an lazy student lol
We were taught about them in Italy
At least the Etruscan language is not related to the Phoenician language which is Semitic. Etruscan is not known to be related to any modern language.
And yes, your school curriculum just seems to be fucked up. I learned a lot about Sumerians in my 3rd grade...
niiiice
Siren Watcher yeah I’m from Australia, they taught us absolutely nothing about this... Wait I know why, I went to Catholic schools. Did you?
My history teacher taught us about the Sumerians. He taught us a lot more then was required. He didn't like the textbooks because some of the most important things in history were not in the textbook. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade had one paragraph. However, there was a whole chapter describing what feudalism was.
Has anyone else had another teacher like that
ye some teachers actually want to teach their students while some just want to collect a pay check
Isn't that completely normal? Slavery has happened throughout history dating thousands and thousands of years back, I don't see why the Trans-Atlantic slave trade would need an entire chapter whereas Feudalism is actually vital for us to understand in order to understand the development of capitalism. Heck, if you want to understand why the Trans-Atlantic slave trade happened in the first place you need to understand feudalism and the economic incentives.
I understand why it may seem relevant to you if you're an American because "muh history" and understanding racial discrimination in society, but seriously, claiming that the slave trade deserves a whole chapter but not feudalism is fucking stupid and just proves how inept and ignorant you are (tbh fam). Can't learn about the slave trade without knowing the financial incentives.
You were lucky to have such a great teacher. Very lucky.
Well, our standard culture is told from the point of view of the indignant self-important peasants of the past few centuries.
I am surprised that a major motion picture has not been made about this subject. It would certainly be epic!
It is incredibly fun to think about all of this and it is incredibly satisfying when the text books are proven wrong. Your channel is my absolute favorite on youtube. Please never stop.
I learned about the Sumerians for about 2 of my lessons, each being 3 hours long. My professor makes sure to tell us all about things that are being discovered recently and he even says "this isn't in your text books but this is something to think about..." and would continue to go way off topic, in terms of the book. Not every teacher or professor are the same and go everything by the book.
Ian Morin I think you were just lucky to have had a good teacher. From my personal experience I've not had any teachers like that.
its not just you everyone learned about the sumerians in school... makes for a catchy title though
KoG GoK cool thanks for showing proof that all schools follow the same history lessons.
your welcome or you can just keep belling everything you see on youtube lol
KoG GoK oops you fucked up. I never said what I believe or do not believe. So now I know from experience you assume facts without any evidence to support them but I'm the gullible uninformed person here OK:))))
Beer, porn & contracts. The basis for our modern world.
I get the porn reference but what is the "receiver" sucking on ?

Looks like maybe she is taking a bong rip....
Broken. “Modern world”.

Ancient Persians had something called “Gardooneh Mehr” which almost translates to “Rotating Universe”. The solar system was known to old civilizations but Europeans gave themselves the credit
I taught my 8th graders about the Sumerians for the past 20 tears ( time(60), the wheel, science and medicine, and Gilgamesh).
True enough: We are always redefining things to make them new again when they were discovered thousands of years ago. Arrogant to think we are more evolved and more intelligent than our ancestors...the way things are headed I'd say we are devolving
I was told by my dad, and my dad was told by his dad and so on..... that we are the grand children of Assyrian and Sumerian. I was named after the king Ashour and my brother after the king Sargon. I'm so proud to carry their gene and blood. I was born in Iraq and i live in Australia now but i go back for a visit every few years 🙂❤
Ure an Arab, your blood and genes have nothing to do with Sumerians. The Arabs repopulated that area. So ure just a sand worm with a fancy name.
I believe black folks of North America are the true descendants of those ancient people.
@@kingdomoftheenglish5738 you should stop taking the pills ure taking. It’s having bad affects on you
That’s awesome, I have some ancestry in Anatolia in the second millennium bc so either the Mitanni, the Hittites, the Arzawa or the Ahhiyawa. Mesopotamia has such an amazing and beautiful history. Do you know about Etemenanki?
The Sumerians are pretty much the Dwemer in skyrim, a civilization so advanced and ahead of its time.
remarkable similarities in appearance too, like the beards
Yes, the dwemer in elder scrolls seem to have been inspired by the ancient sumerians, which is very cool imo
What is weird is a couple years before you made this video, I created a private playlist filled with my own collections of Sumerian histories. Today I put your video in that old playlist, then I opened it up to revisit my old saved videos - and they’re all gone. Every single one.
I know I have had saved videos removed, by whom?
I just watched Jimmy's video about the Internet being deleted. Your case is not the only one...
I love Mesopotamia. I did learn about Sumerians in Elementary school (California).The Code of Hammurabi always stands out in my memory. Thank you for sharing this.
Hammurabi was a Semitic Amorite, but it is cool to learn about the different groups in Mesopotamia throughout the millennia.
MESO potamia is soooo appropriate. That part of the world is a TOTAL MESS.
Also in Cali n I learned a lot of this too
Dicks out for hammurabi
@Sarah Asaad babylon had different dynasties it was a famous and important city, everyone wanted to rule it back then
Damn brother, it's good to hear your experience in Iraq was similar to mine. It woke me up too.
Sumerians and the fertile crescent were brushed over in my history class, but what we did learn I still keep with me to this day. Definitely one of my favorite topics, I miss the long talks with my history teacher over this point in our past.
Great video! I agree with you 100%. I have been learning about all of the past civilizations that school doesn't even come close to introducing us to. Every single one of those civilizations was better informed and possibly smarter in my opinion. They had knowledge that people today use computers for. Where would our civilization be without technology? I bet we wouldn't come close to becoming a great civilization with thousands of years under our belt. But the King's lists ( both sumerian and egyptian) tell us that both civilizations were around for quite a long time indeed. I applaud you for bringing this info to the masses! Thank you and keep up the good work.
There are always more questions than there are answers! Thankfully there are people out there who are trying to make sense of our world and human history! I wish I could live to be 1,000 so I can sit in on the sidelines and listen in! I'm 80 now, so I can only stick around for a little longer...but it's been a blast learning all the new stuff!
Sadly we would know so much more if things weren't deliberately hidden from us by those who do actually know. I think its awesome that your so open minded at your age and I wish you many more years to come. 💙
If you're interested in the ancient lost history of humanity, visit the channel "Geocosmic Rex." The lecturer, Randall Carlson, is extremely knowledgable about ancient traditions and symbolism and paints a coherent picture of our history!
This comment filled me with great peace somehow, may God Bless you
Im 27 and these days im a little bit scared of death simply because of all the beautiful potential i see in this world and human kind. We could literally build castles in the sky with strong engines and be more or less safe from what is propably coming in a couple of years or decades. But all i see is people still building houses on land or even near the ocean and i still see humans fight about resources and power. All i see is a Elon Musk building nonsense Rockets that will eventually put us on a really shitty planet called mars, those missions alone will propably most likely in the first years kill a shit ton of people up there. The answer is not another planet, the answer is right in front of us. Im living in germany and do not feel safe at all if i do not close my eyes for reality like most people do. I simply cant go back watching Netflix and playing videogames and work from home all day i feel like i need to change things. Why im telling you this? How does a 80 year old look at life and are you actually still scared of death?
I hope I am like you one day!
Dude can u do another video about The Sumerians. This is soo interesting !
yes please
i know man
I am sumerian
I dont know if all of those stone tablet was real at least he should have given a clear reference of those stone tablets,cause anyone could just make or edit a stone tablet wich has some sorts of historical inventions and etc..
Everybody know black people made everything ..
Unfortunately, I only discovered this document with great delay, but it is never too late to find out and learn something. This confirms my deep conviction that we are deprived of knowing the real truth about the history of humanity and its origin. Congratulations for your work and contribution to discovering the truth
That comment on the war earned you a sub from me. Did you ever make the video about it? I searched through your playlist and I couldn't find it immediately. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Sewer systems, bricks, weights and more we're in the Indus valley around 10000 B.C.
It seems that what is so special about the Sumerians is their ability to maintain and preserve ancient knowledge from very ancient and highly advanced beyond measure societies which were extinct in cataclysmic events.
Well done. Thanks for enlightening us.
Can you source the information? As far as I know there is very little knowledge about older civilizations than Harappa and Mohenjo Daro ( because of the groundwaters ).
I can say, from more of an insider perspective (having worked with someone that had done translation of the Sumerian tablets), that the primary reason there’s so many lying around untranslated is that it’s difficult and because there is a very limited supply of people that can read them.
I personally have been tempted to try and learn and join one of the fellowships that’s devoted to the slow translation of them.
That's pretty cool. Did you ever try to learn?
according to billy carson theres a app that was developed to translate them for you. 👍🏼
Stop it.
Good Luck Friend
You got on that! I’m learning Latin and Greek, because I’ve been astral projecting into the Vatican archives for the past month and I can’t read any of it!
Great short instructional video. As a matter of fact, I am watching a long video about the Sumerians civilization and you are right when you state that they do not teach enough in school now a day. I first heard of the Sumerians in my early school years and even thou I've taken additional history courses in college during my lifetime, no much is dedicated to the teaching of this ancient culture that greatly contributed to civilizations reaching out to our own times. Once again, thank you for sharing this video.
KNOWLEDGE is power and they choose not to SHARE!!??😘😁
Your ability to fill people in quickly and coverin so much ground in a shot video is key to waking people up. Good job!!!
If it wasn't for my love of history, I wouldn't have even heard of the Sumerians in school (aside from half a paragraph).
The US. My textbook didn't touch on them though.
Where did you go to school? I never learned about this until College...
It depends on what type of history being taught. When it comes to world history in high school, there are a couple different versions usually most schools teach modern world history which is from the renaissance on up. We then have regular world history which cuts short all ancient world history except the egyptians, greeks, and romans. However AP World history easily covers the Sumerians. IB world history has focal points in its approach, like Revolutions, World Wars, or the Cold War.
But overall there is no cover up. It is ancient material and with all ancient material there is much we do not know. So in teaching schools typically focus more on the stuff we do know.
Wasn't taught to us in Canada in the mandatory history classes but I learned about them in optional ancient civilizations class. Spent almost a full month on them.
KelsaRavenlock , yes from SoCal too. I was taught this too. Every school year's history class taught about Sumer, at least one chapter. Even in U.S. history (it was a little of everything from the beginning of recorded history that lend to the start of the US). What I remember from school back then was that there was parents always trying to stop the school from teaching about it. Saying it went against their personal believes.
"The Sumerians...They Didn't Mention THIS in School"
Me, who first learned about Sumerians in school :p
Right? It was one of my favorite parts of world history in school
When talking about the lifespan of a group, such as the Sumerians, it includes infant mortality which was higher in the past. All of those early deaths brings down the average quite a bit. People still lived into their 60s and 70s and perhaps even older back then. It's a common misunderstanding of what life expectancy really means. :)
What I'm getting from this is that Assassins creed was right and that there was a race of smart people before us who gave us our knowledge
And its wrong
The annunaki did create us but they ruled us as false God's. The assassin's creed story is awesome.
@@somber321 implying that they existed even.
Not to mention The lost city of Atlantis
I suggest you look up the etymology of assassin - if indeed you meant to use the word assassin, which refers to those stupefied by Hashish. There is no such thing as race or certainly no evidence to support any such fantastic (the stuff of fantasy) idea. No man can "give" another knowledge
Time to create a sumerian beer company
Michael King Trueeee!!!!!
Michael King that's not a good idea. It's much better, I CAN TASTE it, because I'm drinking a Guinness, what in the f $$# is up with the Guinness in the bottle? Its not even the same. It tastes subcontracted or It could be me?
Already exsists.... Its out of oregon called Ninkasi (my spelling may be off) their label states she was the sumerian goddess of fermentation
Js Est Love that oatmeal stout they have, "Otis".
I have been fascinated by everything Sumerian in the past few months. You're the first one to point out that there's something special about this culture. I'm in!
This guy is the new vsauce with a touch of Joe Rogan.
But isn't nearly as popular as them which is a shame. He deserves more subscribers and views
I think it is just in USA, Idk, but here in Brazil we are taught about the Sumerians over a whole year!
If not for a year but we in Hungary learned a lot about them, too. (Or I should have 30 years ago, oops!)
That's so awkward, I think in Brazil we study it because almost 68% of Brazil's population is a direct descendant of the jews, we are the biggest community of jews, not by religion, but by blood heritage! So I don't find it odd that we study it so hard!
We learned about them in the US too - though it might be part of a larger "Cradle of Civilization" unit or something like that. I don't know what textbooks he was looking at, but it seems like a pretty silly accusation.
Yes, we were taught in Australia about Sumerians and then Egyptians in Australia too in history class.
Not a year, at least not when I study and I just finish, but at least 2 or 3 months in the whole 12 years of school.
Greetings of another brazilian :)
As an iraqi i'd really love to hear about your deployment story .. it's been 15y since the war and i'm still looking for answers
It was for nothing the americas president just wanted an argument to start a war against irak so he sent out spies to get information about Irak having mass destruction weapons. They got paid best for information about the massdestructionweapons that didn't even exist. When they later invaded the Country they didn't find any weapons so the Americans was completely wrong, and to be honest i Think they already knew they were wrong but they didn't want to. Btw this was in 2003
You can look up the oil pipeline, it fallows Iran's pipeline to India. Haliburton goht billions war profiting
Victims can cry out loud and beg for help to human beings to UN or any bogus and bias human rights orgs. But they can never give the full justice. But dont be sad. Glad tidings lies ahead for those who are patients as promised by Allah. And Hell wasnt created without purpose. Some people will really end up in Hell.
15 years.. I was there as a Marine in 08 and it was definitely not fun
Diana Thompson don’t forget KBR
Yes! It would be great to have those tablets studied again. War is now the preoccupation pushed forward; Priorities reassessed. Hopefully your videos will encourage more people to look for the answers to those mysteries.
I love your stuff and your sincere curiosity. Thank you.
Minor point: The overwhelmingly most obvious reason for seven special stars or planets is that there have always been seven special heavenly bodies visible to the naked eye: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. They're the celestial objects that move relative to the rest of the stars, and the five that look like stars don't twinkle the way fixed stars do. This is why those seven have always been central to astrology. It's also why we have seven days in a week and why they're named the way they are (and in the order they are, although that's a bit complicated to say here briefly - it has to do with what's called "planetary hours").
I am a veteran of Iraq 4 times..I as well used to be a brain washed zombie of the government. I'm still in unfortunately, but I have 3yrs and some change till I retire. I think being deployed and seeing first hand what greed and power can do, it has opened my eyes and ears to all the lies that have been forced into us. It's really sad that the majority of the people in this country can't see it.. Thanks for the information that you share.
Lesley Bartholomew Thank you for your service.
I see there is still hope. Finally soldiers are waking up, to see, that they are objects off higher authority, which doesn't care for there well being but is there strictly for it's own benefit. Number of dead soldiers doesn't mean crap to them as long ass they get there agenda through. May it be political or economical agenda, and in most cases those two are combined. And that is the way to better world, when people recognize that there is more to us than oil, money and war. And there is no fast way to "freedom". My philosophy is that first of all I have to make a change in my life and with that perhaps some of my family and friends will start to think with there heads and spread that to their family and friends and so on and so on. I don't have the energy, time and will to change the world. But I would consider me a fraud if I wouldn't be willing to make changes in my own life. My world. My every day. We have the privilege to live in times where you have a chance to check everything for your self. First you learn something in school, media or job and than you can come home and surf the WWW and see the other side of the coin. For there are always two sides of a story. I'm no fan of Hitler or Nazis, but when I saw a documentary on "what historians are not telling us" (ua-cam.com/video/t0E_Ewe8g2Y/v-deo.html) I had to pause it somewhere in the middle, because I was angry and I wanted to brake something, for there is a chance that we are being lied our whole life. I'm not saying it's the ultimate truth, but it's seems plausible, and if it is true, than we need to be afraid of the resources and ability of these "shadow organizations" that operate out in the open, and we are being misled from our birth to acknowledge them as something that we have to live with, no meter the cost. And the cost is unfortunately very high. Just ask over 1M fathers and mothers of dead US soldiers. And mother and fathers of dead children in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine, Libya,.. They paid the ultimate price for no parent should ever bury their own children.
Lesley Bartholomew My plan was also to retire. Then I fell in love while stationed in Korea. Me infantry officer, she enlisted health care. Yep lost everything. Stay strong and take care of your future. And I didn't even "get the girl.". She immediately moved on in her next deployment. Talk about expensive lessons learned.
I'm a vet who was totally brainwashed. Drafted, trained in OCS to be a forward observer. 2 years in Europe, then Nam for a year. Finally, began to be educated about the truth by my Vietnamese counterpart when I was a liaison officer working for G3 Operations of the 101st ABN. My counterpart was originally commissioned in the army of Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi in 1951 and helped kick the French out of Indochina.
It's good to hear there are more out there like you and Jimmy who are able to think for yourselves and see through the lies. The globalists have been hiding and destroying everything that doesn't fit their agenda.
What was your mission in Iraq? what did you do there?
Oh my Lord! You are seriously my new hero. I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and have been slowly absorbing your videos in my downtime. All of the topics I have watched you discuss thus far make total and complete sense. And I love how you use science to back it up. I guess what I am trying to say is that I have been fascinated with these topics of our early history for years... however, there really is not much info on these theories (which again make complete sense) our there. Not even on the internet. Most of the time when I roll across a video or essay that seems promising, it either reverts to a literal biblical interpretation, or a so far beyond belief science fiction / conspiracy theory that is just becomes unwatchable / unreadable within the first five minutes. Kudos to you, my friend. I am a fan of yours for life. And btw, I am a veteran of the same war as you. Cheers!!
Yes well said
As a Sumerian I can tell you that the knowledge back then would make us dumber than a toaster at this time. The main thing is that back then everyone had same mission, being one and following the explorers. There is a reason there are wars in that area, if you start digging and exploring you find things that would blow your mind.
Knowing you posted this 5 years ago. It was only recently that I found you. Totally impressed with your presentations and knowledge of your topics. Thank you!!
I dont know what school you attended, but in my school they do teach about the Sumerians
@Deliriousold Lady I don't know what you're on, but none of what this video said was new to me, because my public school taught me. I think you just never focused in school.
I was taught about them
@Deliriousold Lady I went to school in AZ, and we spent a whole month on Summaria, even made our own clay tablets in their language. Was pretty fun

they really dont, they just talk about that they had early chooling, and that they were the first large civilizations
I need a T-shirt that reads ‘Does anyone else find it odd?’
Kyle Salisbury or “It's Worse Than You Think" lol
Or "(IN THE HOOD) (2017) (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL) (SOCIAL EXPERIMENT) (COPS INVOLVED)" shirt.
Or you could as easily use that common English cognate or synonym for odd which is queer.
Jimmy! This was amazing! I absolutely loved every sentence. I really appreciate how well you explained everything AND how you expressed the humor in this MASSIVE subject not being taught. The 'wtf' grin was peppered in perfectly :) I laughed so many times in agreement. Thank you so much! I am looking forward to finding and watching more of your work. Take care.
Jimmy, you quite possibly have the most addictive channel i have ever seen. And I watch Mr. Ballen.
Uhhh, the thing on Pluto. It's designation was changed because they started to find other 'planets' that are bigger or close in size to Pluto(Eris being the first). The initial idea was to have Ceres, Eris, and Pluto's moon Charon (making pluto and charon twin planets) all planets as well, bringing the count to 12. Eventually they realized that if it kept going that way they would have hundreds of main planets. Many scientists in the field met in a conference to decide what exactly should be what characterizes a planet. Unfortunately Pluto was the only one of the original planets that didn't meet all 3 classifications and was thus relegated to a dwarf planet, along with the newly found Eris, Ceres and others.
This classification is purely for the scientists as it will help them with things like what to look for in other star systems, exoplanets, etc. Pluto is still out there, no one is denying it's existence, nothing has changed. If within conversation one still wants to consider Pluto a planet that's fine but just know that it's official classification has changed within the scientific community to make their lives easier.
There is nothing to 'grow up' about. The current experts on the subject, the ones who know a lot more than you on the topic, have decided to change it's classification as it's made the most sense to them. In the end though, having Pluto classified as a dwarf planet or just planet, changes nothing in reality. It's still a heavenly body with the same orbit, size, shape, density etc it's always had.
What do you think about the Sumerians naming Eris Nibiru long long ago?
The claim is that Nibiru is a Jupiter sized planet. Eris however is a Pluto sized planet. As you can see, those are VERY VERY different sizes. Nibiru could still be out there, I don't know, but Eris being Nibiru is not the case.
@@blizzrd6578 you're thinking about planet x being massive. NASA found Eris using the Sumerian knowledge and there was a big stink that they didn't use the name Nibiru but named it themselves. Eris follows the orbit that the Sumerians wrote down was the orbit of Nibiru. Look it up.
finally someone who actualy doesent make my head hurt when they talk
@@paulschuckman6604 You made the claim, you "look it up"...
In Europe we are taught about them. We even learn in literature about "Epyc of Gylgamesh". You should read it. Its quite nice and really humbling to notice you read a story from 4000 years ago.
As for instruments. The oldest found flute was in modern Slovenia. Wiki search "Divje Babe Flute" aroudn 45000 BC.
For planets. You don't need telescopes to track planets. I don't know the English terms, but you have static and mobile stars. Mobile stars here are planets. Static stars are stars. You need a simple wooden plank with a scale on it and a few nails and you can track movements on. That is also how Tycho Brahe followed them and made the huge sets of data on all the planets for Copernicus to make his theory with.
isn't that flute made by Neanderthals ?
who technically aren't "Humans" or homo-sapiens
Lt. Frank Drebin Not really. A part of it has a great worldly flood. But most of the book is about the relationship between the gods and gilgamesh, and him dealing with his own mortality after his friends death.
someone A slight correction here ; Neanderthals were also humans. The word 'human' literally means an animal from the genus homo. Throughout history and even before that we've had different species of "humans" walk the earth like homo erectus, homo rudolfensis, homo ergaster and many more. The last of our siblings (homo floresnsies) died about 10,000 years ago. Our species differed, but we all fell under the umbrella of 'Humans'.
No, the Epic of Gilgamesh is like Homer's Iliad where there's a story in it which is similar/equal to Noah's ark story, precursing it by a few millennia. Actually the isrealis heard about it when in captivity in Babylon.
Nephilim, not primitive man. You either haven't done enough research or you choose to believe that there is no Creator.
Regarding the Sumerians knowing the Earth was round, Pythagoras first proposed the idea around 500BCE, and the Greek scholar Eratosthenes first calculated the size of the earth around 250BCE to within 15% of it's actual size. Now, we've since found out that the Pythagorean theorem was not in fact figured out by Pythagoras, we've found Babylonian tablets from ca. 1900-1600BCE where they made use of it. Much of Pythagoras' knowledge came from various libraries around the Mediterranean world, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he's simply the one that brought this knowledge to the Western world from the East. You have to remember that there was far less light pollution, so planets would have been easily visible with the naked eye as extremely bright points of light. Mesopotamians put a lot of stock into astrology and treated it as a science, so I don't think it's too strange to think that over the nearly 4,000 years of culturally similar civilizations in the area writing their observations of the sky down and passing them on, that they figured out the solar system was heliocentric. It's also pretty easy to imagine how the knowledge was lost, since as few as 200 years after the fall of Assyria the local population had already forgotten the name of Nineveh, and later civilizations stopped writing on clay, instead writing on material that decomposes.
EDIT: Also, Pluto is smaller than Alaska. It's scientifically too small to be a planet, but it can be a planet in our hearts
We were actually taught about the Sumerians, Mesopotamia, cuneiform, etc in highschool here in the Ph
Oh dear, I think I'm becoming addicted to your channel.
I am Ex U.S. Navy, '72-'78. 8 years ago is when I really got started in looking into our ancient past as human beings. You and I seem to have looked at the same information from a lot of different sources. Sure, some of it is BS but the information that rings the truth IS really out there. Our DNA plainly shows the change that we , as humans, WERE changed, by something, out there. I am sure glad that you are out there , too. For a long while I kinda felt that I was the only person actively looking for this kind of information. Again, Thanks
keith freeman i am glad to see the elder people awaken also.. you are a hero!
you are a free man keith
now what you all say is feasible
is it not feasible to say that we were simply created after primates by a higher being?
dont want to make it religious but we must be open to everything
Have you never heard of Lloyd Pye? That was one of his biggest claims, that the Annunaki supposedly altered primate DNA to create humans.
Read for yourself when dns was done by ANUNNAKI, UA-cam, sumarian transcripts 6 ,6 of 6 I do believe good start
Think for yourself. Great advice for anyone to consider. I have had a self directed study in this area for ten years and the bible contains myths that go back to earlier civilizations and Jewish people incorporated these myths into the bible and are now being proven to be correct. Great video. Keep up the good work.
As I am from Türkiye, I literally camp in ancient compounds built by these lost civilizations like Sumerians, Hitities, Phonecians, Greeks etc in its natural setting. The most ancient one on earth found (up till now) is Göbeklitepe (~"Bellyhill") is 12000 years old. Truly amazing.. Sumerians, however, were are on another level.
Egyptian pyramids were started a thousand years after the Sumerians ceased to exist so saying the Annunaki existed but didn't build the pyramids isn't wrong. Having pyramids in South America as well is a whole different matter.
There is soooooo much that are left out of school books. The publisher who is based out of Texas. They literally pick and choose what is published in all school books. It’s disgusting how they twist history and important facts.
amysimonbiz in California they are teaching kids that the United States stated world war II.... is disgusting. My children get good grades because I have to teach them how to lie to the liars....i let them make up their own minds as far as religion, life choices, and everything else, but I teach them that in school they will be lied to, and I try to teach them to discover and deschypher things on their own... it's a strange feeling.... but it's a lot better than the bullshit I was fed as and forced to believe as a Catholic child in a small town in ohio... and ps. I'm moving back to ohio because California is a communist state that is just terrible
I live in Texas and you are correct there are many textbook punblishers out there but the true editors of textbooks in schools are people who whine and complain about what is in the textbooks whether it is true or not they do not want their children exposed to something akin to the truth. Every time there is a new textbook people show up to protest what is put in them. Whether I agree or disagree with someones philosophy or beliefs we should at least be teaching the truth.
I learned a lot about the Sumerians in Texas public school.
the truth Poland started ww2 by refusing that
1 Silesia be returned to Germany that Poland stole from Germany around 1923
2 refused that Danzig and what became known has the Polish corridor be returned to Germany.

_true editors of textbooks in schools are people who whine and complain about what is in the textbooks whether it is true or not they do not want their children exposed to something akin to the truth._
What is an example of a truth they don't like? What I've seen is people complaining because the textbook editors are diverting from the truth engaging in political correctness and such in history books and other books.

About that last one, imagine how the anti-Christians would react if they were teaching the Ten Commandments. They don't even want the Ten Commandments posted on the wall, much less taught. But there isn't a problem about teaching the beliefs of Islam, NAH!
I remember actually learning about the Sumerians in school in like 5th or 6th grade, can't recall specifics though. Funny thing is it was in communist Hungary.
Really?! I'm an American who went to private elementary school (Southern CA) and we also had Sumerian, Akkadian and Mesopotamian history in our curriculum. I don't remember much of those studies, this was in the late 80's and early 90's but it's interesting to know that if you want the most comprehensive education possible for your kids, you had better look outside the U.S. public school system, and possibly into a satellite Soviet Socialist Republic.
socialist nations had the best political economic systems thus far in modern civilization.. ignorant mfs like to throw shade at their lower standards of material wealth and development in comparison to imperialistic colonizing capitalist powers but forget socialist economies were self reliant and constantly under ruthless antagonism.. slander and terror..
Jimmy, man, I love you.
Any man who talk about the simple truth nowadays is a hero, and you are one.
These information and tablets are not being ignored out of negligence, but worse, they're being ignored purposely to serve som new world agendas.
And I'm afraid they're hidden so maybe someday could be forgotten to be easy to be vanished.
As an European ( Croatia) who has been learning about Sumerians twice as part of standardized education (elementary and highschool) , I'm shocked by the US public education system.
Your honesty about your military experience just gained you another subscriber!
I learned about all this in high school in AP English (Gilgamesh) and my humanities class talked about it too....oh and my art class as well... All in high school...in rural Oklahoma.
You were taught about the Solar System tablet, and the tablet showing 3 beings flying down being greeted?
Bright Insight the solar system was mentioned, not the beings. But in English we did talk about how similar stories existed with them that are now in the Bible and well as their writtings.
To be clear I doubt any of it was core curriculum.... Probably just had a few teachers interested in it. Although in my art classes, there were specific references which was a little odd and interesting ...
For years on end all they pumped into us was, Revolutionary, and Civil wars, the president's, US is the best; that same stuff over and over and over again. The red coats are coming......ugh.
I think this has more to do with the American school system itself. I first learned about Sumer in regular history high school classes. By the way most conspiracy people are Americans too. On the other hand, Sumer was one of the earliest civiliations so yes of course there's a lot we don't know about them. What about the apparent lack of knowledge of the Indus Valley civilization, or any other ancient civilization?
Great video. Its a shame those ancient artifact were destroyed. It really is heartbreaking.
I learned very little about the Sumerians in school. I learned much MUCH more by delving into the ancient aliens theories. There's ALOT out there that is odd to say the least.
Bro... First of all thank u for volunteering to protect our freedom even though... Its not quite that way as u learned in Iraq... But regardless of that event... Still taking the oath... Thank u. Now on to the Sumerians... When i was young, around 7, i was very interested in Ancient Egypt and their culture. Also being taught in school that they were the first in all these aspects. Being somewhat of a history buff... I read a lot. I found a book that was basically an essay about 5000 BC to 1000 BC... Holy cow what an eye opener. Made me study more and more... I am commenting this lengthy due to my excitement that someone has a youtube channel and shares the same view not only on state controlled education... But obviously view on our government. Tossed a sub and a thumbs up... Excited to so more.
could you link book about history from 5000 BC to 1000 BC
All wars have a profit base, All wars.
Blue Butterfly Well the war on terror has cost billions, but the military contractors who are somewhat Connected to ppl in congress etc have made much more
you sure about that?
Not really?... Like some wars are profit based... Some wars
That and several other more esoteric motives. The mainstream explanation is always just the propaganda
All the more reason to resist war, in my opinion. If nothing else than for the fact that I'm not the one profiting from bloodshed, nor are you reading this.
1977 My instructor gave us entire study course on Sumer. He even went over their claims of the Anunaki aliens.
This was public high school...real public education.
It's very unlikely that the Sumerian flood myth in the Epic of Gilgamesh has anything to do with the global rise in sea level that you're referring to. It's important to realize that the great Sumerian cities were nestled in the fertile soils on the floodplain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This area of land was, as the name floodplain suggests, prone to flooding when the rivers overflowed. We've all seen videos of how devastating it is when a major city is flooded, and some of us have personally experienced great floods, so it isn't hard to imagine that when theirs and nearby cities experienced one of these floodings, it must have seemed to them that the entire world had been flooded.
Cheers to the veterans who found out the real truth and spread the info to everyone else! I myself am a veteran of the army and did 15 months as part of operation forward presence which was an air defence operation during oif/oef. And it took that to make me understand the truth behind all the lies that everyone was being fed about the Iraq "war".
I knew it was a lie from the beginning. I saw news reals where they were trying to make it look like mobs were having fits when in fact there were maybe 50 people. They've been messing with our News for a long, long time.
joshua Stanaway well to start. I'm just gonna say I'm glad I discovered Jimmy's channel. He's very interested in speaking and spreading the truth. Now as for what my job entailed me to do was just provide air defense, however I did maintenance on the Patriot system. I was only 20 when I joined back in 2006 so what I knew about the Iraq "conflict" was that we were helping provide support. Ok so here's the other side. There's an airbase in Qatar. The biggest in the middle East it's no secret. It's still there in full operation. Now what does Qatar have to do with the war anyway? Here's what they don't tell you. And what I learned. They are paying us to protect them. They have so much in minerals and fossil fuels to pay us with. And UAE and Saudi Arabia. Which I didn't know about until I started looking into it. I wasn't told any of this. And since AUAB is the biggest coalition force in the world pretty much. All the United Nations are there pretty much. Aussies Japanese Korean etc etc. Which is fine and all. But to fight isis and Al Qaeda who's technology spans from whatever arms dealers they got their shit from is nothing compared to these multi billion dollar systems. With which....have almost a 35% accuracy- which Raytheon and Lockheed won't tell in their websites-...we get paid to provide protection to these so called Democratic countries- and since the petrodollar is only good if countries recognize it there's no problem. Syria and Iraq and north Korea are definitely not about the petrodollar and neither is Russia or China. The turmoil in the middle East has become endless. Until those countries give up their oil and minerals. Now honestly I don't care if this is something that the masses are Not supposed to know. But if you hide the truth, is it still lying? That's my best response to this thread. And feel free to ask more if you'd like. Just look it up also Even wikipedia has some info. But Raytheon Lockheed and Boeing are the three biggest drains of taxpayer money and they need to be stopped. They get all these tax breaks and the tax payers get shit for healthcare and shit for representatives. And now we have Trump.
oil was the reason america went there to begin with. NEVER, for one instant, believe that america is a "good" country protecting the people. that war was for the oligarchs, the accumulation of more wealth and resources, and the people themselves are the one's who paid the price.
DaniCamp Productions we were fed lies!!! we killed people out there for oil! i served in the marine corps myself and was in the 1st wave of troops in OIF.. marine artillery
hey man you probably wont read this but respect for admitting that about iraq and the war.. peace
I read all of Zecharia Sitchin’s books. He even rang me in my office at work. He wanted to come and lecture in Holland, alas I failed him, because the scientist responsible for engaging lecturers had a very unscientific CLOSED mind. Zech didn’t have a computer so we communicated by fax after the initial phone call. I don’t blindly believe everything he wrote but it certainly makes a lot more sense than the scriptures.. Eric von Daniken has done astounding work on the same subject, as has Michael Tellinger and numerous others. It needs a lot of further examination.
Sitchin has been debunked by those with the qualifications to do so. Daniken is even worse. Tellinger is equally self-deluded.
So great to hear a knowledgeable scholar give their thoughts on a topic that they have an in-depth grasp of. It would be great if you could substantiate your claim about the heliocentric solar system depicted on the tablet with some written evidence which in fact mentions such a solar system and confirms your interpretation of it. That would make your argument sound convincing instead of being perceived as mere subjective speculation.
My middle school taught the Sumerians...
Mine too
Same here.
Learned about them too even in elementary school.
3:28 First to use jewelery, make-up, and beer? It may be true with the latter two, but jewelery is waaaaay older than Summerians. Some finds made out of shells date back 100 000 years. Maybe you meant gold jewelery?
'jewel'ery
kind of explains itself i guess :D
from Wiki "Jewellery (British English) or jewelry (American English)[1] consists of small decorative items worn for personal adornment,"
He is basing it on a cultures written history. So I think he means oldest written history of it recorded. I'm sure man "firsts" happens a lot long before written history of a culture so you are right but I do not think he is trying to be intentionally disingenuous. Beer was probably uses before anyone knew how it was made but written record of a large number of recopies....again that requires writing and a culture to preserve writing so was beer used before here....sure but this is the earliest written record I think is all.
The first building was actually a pub
beer is older then the Sumerians
Interesting observations and well-presented. I would love to see all of the clay tablets lurking in museums get digitized and let current scholars re-assess them now.
There are a lot of panels that have been destroyed in Iraq without reading them.
This makes sense when you watch his Adam and Eve story video.
When the world destroyed its self the survivors were pushed to the stone age starting over.
They didn’t created this things, they just carried on what happened before.
I had a similar "awakening" experience during my Iraq deployment in 2009-2010 as well.
Fascinating . Governments depend on us staying ignorant. Knowledge is freedom
Gene in PA Puskash so true brother.
I did find this odd, as I spent all High School taking history classes and not once were they covered.
That moment when, as an european that was taught most of these things in school, you understand why americans know so little about the world.
Maybe your school should have also taught you about the basics of capitalization.
People didn't think the Earth was flat back then, maybe some did but some also knew the Earth was round. Eratosthenes was the first to accurately estimate of the circumference of the Earth in 276 BC.
I knew about this very young. I decided to not join the service due to my opinions on 9/11 and the false war. I've felt like I let my country men down by not joining to help them fight. I had to go with my gut though...can't wait to hear about your change and deployments. I'm thankful for the internet to finally have people to talk with about this. Spent many years in silence.
AEK Thank You for your Conscientious Objection service to our war machine.
Well here's this - you would've been a pawn of the invasion of a country that had nothing to do with anything. That's been proven. Your heart was in the right place and on the bright side you didn't put yourself in harms way. Your notion to defend our country is noble within itself.
Thanks guys...it means alot.
You did the right thing.
AEK family full of veterans, warned all my youth how they'd waste my time efforts and life. I support but didn't enlist
i was taught the sumerians when i was in school which is what started my own interest in ancient civilizations
Thank you for this wonderful video. I’ve always loved this era of history can you do such a great job explaining everything I just discovered your channel obviously, but I’m going to binge all your other videos ❤
Schools don't 'teach' any more, they 'train' kids to fit into various vocations. They train them to get along and be good workers. Want to know who's watching your videos? It's semi-retired and retired people who are finally interested, and have the time to look up from their jobs, and lives and see the rest of the world. What they've been missing while they grind it out in a race to succeed. Thanks for posting.
Yeah because wealth can be taxed unlike happiness.
Hey man not just old heada im 18 just filling my head with this knowledge of our history its amazing to me but also eye opening in so many ways
I am learning about the sumerians in school right now and im in 10th grade. Lay off the psychedelics
The implication here is that you don't learn how good their knowledge of astronomy was. You probably learn the very basic history of Mesopotamia.
bruh speak for yourself i just turned 22 and i’ve been into this type shit for 7 years. my generation is nowhere near as compliant as the last.
Everything is keep in secret by people of power.
THE FOURTH KIND MAKES SENSE NOW!!! Youre.definitely right about why they're hiding it!!
Yeet Man yeah
That can only be described as providential, given that a little learning is a dangerous thing. It may be that you are saying that in the country of the blind, the one eyed man is king; in any population taken at random the majority of it will be sub-optimal, depending on how you define optimal.
Yes but this is just a baseless conspiracy theory
The information is out there ... no one is looking for it.
I think it is only American curriculum that don't teach Sumerians. In my country (Turkey) we learn Sumerians and the other contemporary civilizations extensively (even to a point that they invented beer :) )
Before Copernicus, the muslim scholars already knew about earth's rotation around the sun and even invented telescope (see Al Khwarizm and Ibn al Shatir). And those muslim scholars never shied away saying that they were inspired and in most cases learned from antique civilizations. That means older civilizations were more developed than we give them credit for.
When Europe was so backwards, eastern nations were thriving with knowledge during the middle ages. However the elitism of western leaders/scholars didn't let them acknowledge their predecessors. That way of thinking is still prevalent today unfortunately.
I find most times people say, "They never taught us about X in school!" About half the time it's something routinely taught in school. I definitely learned about the Sumerians in school. I think everyone knows the term Mesopotamia because of school.
Finally a channel that handles Sitchin properly. I really enjoy these subjects, but 99% of youtubers don't have the sceptical mindset about these things, and often don't even cite Sitchin when they repeat his ideas. Thanks for this great channel!
Make more videos, you are the only channel I know of that rationally and intelligently discusses these kind of topics! Im almost finished with your video library :( !
Also what is patreon and how can I support you by using it?
Dillon Jensen in the video description is a link to his Patreon. Basically money can be given to your favorite creators through the service.
Read an article a long time back that megalithic "slaughter" stones that are found in the British isles were quite possibly not for sacrific but for outdoor beer making - so I don't fully think Sumarians were the first. Plus, "first" civilization translates to "oldest discovered thus far". And I like the Dogon people story, because they have intrequit knowledge of the Sirius constellation from "teaching visitors" and are super primitive even today.
Well done brother . I’m looking forward to hearing more from u .
That planets drawn are really interesting.
I wish we get a breakthrough before I die.
If you pass on prior to a controlled disclosure then you will be far more close to the truth than any of us will ever be in this physical prison. Ever notice the phrases " what's the matter" and "what's wrong" are interchangeable?? The matter is what's wrong

An interesting thing I noticed. In the pictographs the sun has a star shape over it and the small planets don't. So they knew the sun was actually a star and it's clear to me they show planets revolving.
The star aka hexagram represents saturn. In mythology, saturn is depicted as our original sun. Whenever mythology speaks of sungods or the sun its not referring to our sun but the black sun aka saturn. The hexagram represents saturn which is considered the god of this world. This is not opinion but fact.
Armani Beastmode great point !
its not a great point, because what armani thinks represets the sun really represents saturn. hint hint, the hexagram = attributed to saturn but im not here to convince you of anything...
Sebastian Wehler hey noone is arguing mate. If that's what it represents then fine, so be it. I have never studied this and was only making an observation. Regardless it's amazing how much they knew.
Sebastian Wehler it does represent Saturn I know lol the great teacher of hard work n Karma... 🙈
I have been watching listening to those long boring lecture digs and digs themselves and I find little gems that most skip over....I realized quite fast what you talk about is more than a little interesting it is and could be life altering stuff...to be the closest to the beginning gives a sense of yearning for the stuff that had been burried...destroyed or plain hidden.
I contend that any civilization that was obsessed with stars and had glass- had "telescopes." You could literally break a glass vase and use a curved hunk of glass to see the stars better.
I go to school in New Jersey and we had a whole unit on them, had a few weeks learning cuneiform, and did various projects. We were 100% informed on most of the topics covered.
"Once, Yusuf said to his father, “Oh my father! I had a dream. I saw eleven planets, the sun and the moon lying prostrate before me!” I always thought how strange it is that the Quraan states that there are 11 planets in our solar system when there are only 8. But here they are, in the Sumerian tablets. that's interesting.
Just read the sumerian creation story as well, you will find lots of common information between the sumerian history and the religions including Islam as well..
So who copied who. I’m confused !
Momento Mori the eleven was referring to his eleven brothers.

Well actually, the first civilisation was not in the Middle East but in the Indus Valley or possibly China.. but Sumerians are an ‘also ran’ contender
Gilgamesh and Sumerian history is taught in history and English courses in Texas high schools.
