    The Mesopotamian Marshes in the south of Iraq are easily one of the most soulful, amazing places I have ever visited. But their history hides some very dark events... This trip was organized by the awesome Ali, who runs the travel start-up Bilweekend. Check them out if you're thinking of visiting: www.bilweekend.com / / bilweekend
    & a big thank you to Abo Haider for his hospitality!

    This is one of my favorite episodes. I have been very interested and studying ancient Iraq/Mesopotamia. The cities of Eridu, Ur, Uruk, Larsa, Umma, Lagash, Ninevah, and Babylon were the first major cities in the world. Iraq and the surrounding areas around and between the Tigris and Euphrates were the first to develop widespread irrigation and modern farming techniques. The culture is incredibly ancient. People have been living, fishing, farming, this rich cultural area for 10,000 years or more. What a rich culturual heritage.

      It’s really just Arabic. The Kurds, Assyrians, Turkmen, and Shabak are all up in the extreme north only. Majority is just Arab divided between Shias, Sunnis and some Christians (who unfortunately largely left after 2003). The reason why northern non Arab minorities are included in Iraq is because a British and French diplomat divided the Middle East into Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon 100 years ago forcing the north to be part of Iraq. Most of Kurds and Assyrians were in southern Turkey during the Ottoman Empire, but were savagely genocided forcing many to flee to northern Iraq.

Their home that the US starved and bombed throughout the 90s followed by a war based on lies that took hundreds of thousands of more Iraqis. Their entire infrastructure was taken out and heritage was stolen. Why? Well because a bunch of Bible thumpers like yourself were in office.

    I wish I had the words to explain how much of an inspiration you are! Especially for my teenage daughter. She's watching through all of your videos. Your words and actions encourage her to believe in her own dreams and to go through the boundaries of her comfort zone. You probably will never see this comment, but I hope in your heart you can feel how grateful I am. She is 16 and could be doing anything, but she's home watching you as she plans her own life goals and travel. Thanks Eva.

My strength and courage are two of my favorite traits about myself, and I’m sure it’s the same for you! Maybe I’m old fashioned lol but it’s always so refreshing seeing a woman being a boss!! Your kind hearted nature and confidence shine through bright!!! Don’t ever stop being you!!!!

Then I heard that S.H. had drained the Marshes, an eco-crime akin to Bolsinairo burning the Amazon forest. Now it seems Turkey controls IraQ water. Crazy world! Thanks Eva, this was interesting. I share your fear of cattle, they're big and sort of angry.

I am FOREVER grateful to U for sharing your travel, and very much like the nomads of Iran who try to take care of their celery for the next generation and the weavers of the Persian rug which takes years to finish, tis is now IRAQ in what I seem to imagine as part of the seat of civilization. Please take care of yourself and stay away from danger like the buffalo. STAY SAFE and healthy always. GOD bless you. From the Philippines, I close to say .that I am privileged to have known you as I follow your travel.
