      Yeah, why not? History wasn't made by just the leaders of society. Indeed, without all the 'little people' usually in the background, those 'leaders' would have ended up being pretty useless - something a lot of people forget. The ideas only only 'great people' can drive society forward is a solidly debunked hypothesis called the "Great Man" theory, which purports that through competition between great people (or geniuses usually) society is moved forward. However, more recently it's understood that society is moved forward by a broad variety of factors, most important of which is the context created by the cooperation of all those people you rarely ever read about. I realized this a long time ago when I came to the conclusion that understanding the prevailing psychology of a culture's people determined what they did, so history is more a reaction to cultural context than singular acts of genius. In the end, it really makes studying history all the more interesting, or as I used to jokingly call it. 'Current Events of the Past'.

      I suppose that depends on how you define it. England was invaded by everybody and his dog over roughly a 2000 year period from about 1000 BCE to 1000 CE. It's one reason the English is so messed up as a language. Today's France is a mixture of French, Brittanian, Iberbian, Roman, Provencal, and other cultures. 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. History shows repeatedly that people move, bring their cultures with them, and merge with the native cultures wherever they're moving; the result being a mixture of all the inputs. The idea of "Melting Pot" isn't a new concept. It's been around (and recorded) since the Bronze Age.

      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.

    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.

    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.
