Recent studies demonstrate that the ma'dan are the closest living descendants of the Ancient Sumerians, through DNA analysis... amazing how historically and culturally rich these people are.
Yes I have been studying this recently and stumbled across the same thing, Wish I was rich so I can go there and help in some way to insure there lineage doesn’t go extinct. I believe they are the original Hebrews. Abraham went from Modern Uruk to Isreal, stated in blibical scriptures.
Unicum Well think about it, The whole bloodline of Moses was from that region “Uruk” modern day Iraq. They were there for thousands of years until Abraham went to Israel which is the bloodline of the 12 tribes and Jesus Of Nazareth. If you look at genetic studies there is a clear connection between Indus Valley and Iraq people today. That is the only non-Semitic Dna they have today which means one thing.
Unicum What you said doesn’t make sense. If prophet Abraham was from a Sumerian city (Uruk). And he’s the father of Jews then these people are the historical ancestors.
@@YungPrince2k16 Not the Hebrews. A number of aDNA studies show that the Levant has genetic continuity from atleast the Neolithic age. This is further supported by archaeology. Archaeological evidence strongly suggest that the Hebrews were an indigenous canaanite population which embraced monotheism and eventually developed a new culture. Hell, monotheism only truly emerged among the Hebrews between 586 and 332 BCE.
May G-d bless the beautiful connection that these people have to their ancestral land, may they find peace, and may their cause be known to a world that will choose to give them back the rights they deserve. What an amazing documentary and an extraordinary people! I had always wondered about them.
What a lesson he’s giving us. The descendant of one of the first civilisations on earth. We live in a self confident world that glorifies the instant the moment. But nothing is more powerful than time. He knows it and you must respect that.
Marsh Arabs are the descendants of ancient Sumerians, the first civilization in the world! They should be protected and their culture should be preserved..
@@AsiaMinor12 Of course not. Sumerians were assimilated to Assyirans and Babylons,they didn't disapeared. Also,Yazidi people are another people descendant of them.

#Iraq was the most talented in history.. and look at it know 💔 now the iraqi people fitting their own government and all they asking for is to have freedom to live with dignity, to have good school, good hospital.. the Iraqi people suffered a lot from poverty and injustice and Corrupt leaders, also the Iranian permanent interference in the affairs of their country..! And every house in Iraq lost someone killed by the government or isis or Iran Militias.. if you read this please support them on Twitter in #IraqRevolution
Really like the content that is coming from Iraq. But please improve the translation, because for an Arab listener the Arabic is clearly translated from English and it sounds off. Please let native Arabs write the script next time.
This is how the Djinn must feel, because they too live for a long time, and some are part of the water! Time can be a devastating thing, as well as men and their wars.
I can only hope that this man will only be the first in a long line of the marsh Arab peoples that inhabit the regions. Had I the means I would gladly come to him and record all he utters in song.
Why does the writing have to be so small? Unreadable.... A sad story, but inspiring...I hope the marshes continue to fill and the Marsh people get their way of life back..
Its a great & Wonderful World 's Treasures ; its to be regrown rejuvinated inspite of all difficulties . The old traditions , culture and everything of Golden days must come back with International and National coperations being World's Tresure !
I was deeply moved by the reveal of this man and his story yet I found it uncomfortable watching the video. The story is about the man, his song and his land, especially the ancient Sumer, but the man's voice was drowned by the audio/music and the film was drowned by the editing/snap-shots. I feel the man needed something much slower, less noisy, more about his voice and song. But we, the viewers needed to read the subtitles too, so there was conflict. What do I look at? What do I listen too? Man, voice, land, fast photo shots and background music, then subs as well - too much. Pity, something incredibly valuable was lost. Yet not. Now I have a memory of him.
Southern Iraq is not Arab. Do not call us (Marsh Arabs)... We are Sumerians and we were Arabized because of the Arab-Islamic invasion, as well as the Levant, Egypt and North Africa, all of whom are not Arabs.

Sumerians are not Arabs a simpleton can find that out through basic research. Majority of Mesopotamia was not Semitic and the rulers were not Semitic, they did rule over the semites to where they treated poorly. Also Aramaic being from the Indo-European family while Arabic from the Afro-Asian Family which is Africanoid. They also were not too fond of the semites so I don’t think they would like those statements :(
marsh Arabs are descendants of ancient sumerian and Aramaic language belongs to the Northwest group of the Semitic language family, which also includes the Canaanite languages, such as Hebrew, Edomite, Moabite, and Phoenician, as well as Amorite and Ugaritic... 😃

Terms like "rebels" only mean not governed by the central authority, those who don't want to be ruled by the state. Long live resistance!
he is not the last,a lot of iraqis still know how to sing like that and me being one of them lol

this whole video would've been better with a little less music its too noisy, the scenery, the voices, i cant appreciate it with all this music. this kind of video would've been better with something more subtle, and especially removing it completely when the qur'an was being recited during the prayer calls for muslims.
There was no Quran what are you talking about?
"little less music" this whole film is about music - r u dumb? Not every Muslim finds whatever you heard at 5:31 offense btw - speak for yourself.
