Similarly, Greece, Turkey, Italy, and some others linguistically were a mash-up of cultures resulting in today's nations. E.g. Today's Italy is a mash-up of Roman, Etruscan, Celt, Gaulish, Greek, Byzantine, Visigoth, Goth, Lombard, Norse, Vandal, and Arabic cultures and languages.

I absolutely love videos about trade. Its so fascinating to me how interconnected the ancient world was. How goods and ideas moved around. Thank you for your amazing videos.
@@SimuLord Aye, same. What fascinates me the most is the very idea that our ancestors built great cities and established such complex trading relationships long before we even started working iron. It paints an entirely different picture from what a lot of people [especially in the movie industry] imagined the distant past.
One of the most eye-opening videos you've ever made. Knowing that before ancient Romans and Greeks there already existed an interconnected world is a thing, watching this video fleshing it out in such detail is another. Thank you for all your great work.

Assyrians today are a small marginalized christian minority that few people know about. thank you for bringing knowledge of our illustrious history to light. This Assyrian thanks you from the bottom of his heart.
10 years ago I read a book about the Sumerians. One of the most profound things I learnt is how Corporations started from Temples. And how Homosexuals and Transvestites existed in those times as well. They also had a specific law if a Builder or Tradesmen built a house which collapsed and killed his clients, then his own son or child would executed.
It's in the code of Hammurabi. The legal principle laid down was "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" and what's often lost in time is the understanding that this was a limitation on revenge, not (just) a harsh legal code. At a time when blood feuds between families were the norm, the law limited the amount of revenge one could exact to no more than the damage that had been suffered.
@@MbisonBalrog No. A transvestite is someone who wears clothes of the opposite gender. Such as a man wearing women's clothing and makeup to look like a woman.
In had the privilege of having to research on Kültepe/Kanesh during my Archaeology studies at uni on a few occasions. Thank you for bringing this astonishing site and the Old Assyrian trade to your channel. Great video. The karum (literally translating to "port" in Akkadian) was a kind of freeport secured by a contract between the local ruler and the Assyrian king. It was explicitly not subject to local legislation and cult practice. The Assyrian traders were the only ones to be writing and to use standardized measures (as their local trading partners all had own weights and such). This lead to the Assyrians becoming the record keeping institution and place for making contracts in the region beyond trade as well (like marriages). Interestingly the locals would abandon writing and abstract written contracts once more when the Assyrians left for good. (The Hittites would again import writing a century later but using Babylonian, completely ignoring Assyrian.) So don't expect techniques of cultural exchange to outlast the system they are used within.
It is striking to think that the activities of merchants not only tell us much about Bronze Age life, but played their part in shaping not one, but two, great kingdoms!
The Great Courses series "Ancient Empires before Alexander" is one of my favourites that I can listen to over and over. It's neat to see that history presented in a different way.
The Persians built a massive empire and so did the Arabs but now too many people underestimate them and think they are just poor “sand people” while saying they can’t be beaten at the same time Such foolishness will end with a mushroom cloud
Trade during Bronze Age, and especially during Late Bronze, is one of the most prolific period due to its interconnected routes and the complexity of its trade systems that were able to share the different cultural features across the region. Congrats for your work K&G, as a historian and keen on ancient history I can say that is sometimes difficult to find such a comparative analysis and well portrayed aspects of these amazing period through such a dynamic way of teaching. Keep going 💪💪💪
Hey do a video on the bronze silk road; trade between harappans, sumerian, Egyptians and minoans as far back as 2000-3000bc. They've been translating harappan lately, and found minoan based linear A in Norway, suggesting colonies that far north with civilizations in Spain, italy and even the nuraghe potentially also being minoan colonies. On top of that the harappans even had trade guilds. Minoans may have been a trade empire with merchant princes. There's a whole world we've lost the memory of, but were slowly unlocking it again.
Trade in ancient times such as during what we call bronze age is always so tacitly implied. Much needed video. Thanks alot k&g and a v happy birthday to devin
