Thx u helped me with my ss clas
Dear khan ，
you are a great A great educator in my heart forever 。
please dont make anything great again! . . be humble and share!
Khan academy is great....👍
first civilization ever, plus the Arabs invented math too.. and they have the most beautiful writing and beautiful sounding language.. anyway it is an amazing fact that we were able to trace back the steps of the humanity to the beginnings.
Descendants of the mesopotamians/Sumerian’s/babylonians/akkadians are not arabs
They weren't Arabs they were Aramean. Arabs used genocide to cast them out. Jesus spoke Aramaic not arabic.
Also Pythagoras was not arab and he was the first to use maths and numbers.
They invented math? Beautiful language?
Math was invented in Africa.
@@Arcticroberto9376yes, Arabic is a very beautiful language
I love history specially when is explained simple and nice it was worth listening to since I am myself babelonian
What a great video! Not really much to do with the topic of the timeline but I think it would be great to include some information about the Phoenicians.

Please explain how the Sumerians mapped out the solar system even know that Pluto was blue?
Devan Velo do u have a source on that? I'd love to read up on that
Alien contact, they took them for Gods...
Rekar Asad there's a Sumerian tablet that shows the solar system in great detail. Including the sizes of the planets. Shouldn't be too hard to find online. Simple google search should do it.

It was post to be funny... I guess not
You really need to address Gobekli Tepe. It is the first temple built by
hunter and gatherers around 11,500 BCE in Turkey. It's sophisticated and an
amazing creation considering what tools were used.

what about catalhoyuk? wouldn't that be the first city to form?
Yes it's older
Mesopotamia is boring and confusing to me. CrashCourse and Khan Academy are both helping me through this 💪
The first agriculture was in Nanchoc, Peru and Caral - Supe civilization is as old as Mesopotamia and Egypt.

"Agriculture was taking root in South America almost as early as the first farmers were breaking ground in the Middle East, new research indicates."

"The Nanchoc Tradition: The Beginnings of Andean Civilization"
www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/27856690.pdf?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents
"New findings show that about 8,000 years ago, the inhabitants of the Nanchoc Valley in the lower Peruvian Andes were eating beans, peanuts, domesticated squash, and a fruit pod called pacay, whose sweet white lining Peruvians still enjoy today.
That comes as surprising news for anthropologists. Eight thousand years ago is back in the hazy dawn (or at least early morning) of agriculture, when people around the globe were just starting to figure out how to cultivate plants."

Couldn't be more proud of the great Iraq 💗
Muza Kaabi MAKE IRAQ GREAT AGAIN!!!!
Nvm i live there iraq is now dead ._.
Leo98HD what??
It is a pity that the Mesopotamian civilizations ended with the Persian conquest. Can you imagine Babylon today without being ruins or that the Assyrians and Chaldeans have their own country? How would culture have evolved? How would its architecture be? and many more questions.
Hey, in what areas do we see most differences between early civilization?
If interested..All civilization came from The Armenians Highlands. What do other historians say...according to Anthropologist Mitchell S. Rothman regarding the extent of discoveries and specially on the quality of horse bones proved, According to him, that it was from the Shangavit Armenian 6000 years ago that the culture of that area spread around to the ancient world...Professor Jensen also says. ‘For almost everything that is known in the Hittite language is Old Armenian in form..Historian Sayce (1845-1933) also consider Hittite and Armenian to be one and the same’. and Rothman, quoted earlier, said...''All that was known in Mesopotamia came from Armenia and that Armenia is the absent fragment in the entire mosaic of the ancient world's civilization's construction.H.V. Hilprecht(1859-1925) a Clark research professor of Assyriology and scientific director Babylonian expedition at the University of Penn. argue that the Hittite tongue is Armenian and the Hittites themselves were of Armenian stock...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians, Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan...
How can you say earliest wheel discovered was in sumeria. Wheels must be there in I Indus velley also. That also is 5000years old. And pottery is not possible without wheels
That's because Indians love inventing things
Indus valley is a younger civilization, it's not 5000 years old, mesopotamia is approximately 6000
You mean it inspired or otherwise matches the biblcal law it predates? Or do I have the timeline wrong?

Im not sure what to say........
Im iraqi and they dont teach that much English sooooo...
I dont know what to tell you 😆 sorry
What kind of writing/doodling app you are using?
I'm Iraqi. It's called Mismari writing. It looked like nails. Nail in Iraqi is Mismar.
Super old video, but no one is talking about it. It's pronounced "Kuh Nee Uh Form" not "Koo nee uh form" Also, it's HAMmurabi, not Humurabi. I saw one comment talk about that, but no one paid mind to it unfortunately.
Great video
The first writing, in terms of representing linguistic content is generally considered to be Sumerian between 3500-3100bce, depending on chronology. It not just labels or signs for things or concepts, but represents actual speech (for example, representing verbs with their appropriate morphemes), unlike early Egypt where it only seems to be labels rather than words. Further we have a long history of the development of writing in the area, where it emerged from a token system.

Indicated Chinese region wrongly. That part is actually ancient India.
I never hear China brought up in early civilization talks.
Me too. Its strange why I never heard about it.
its Hammurabi, not Hummarabi!!
we are both khan
Carl Benjamin approves this video
doesn't make sense. homo sapiens were around for 300,000 years before Sumeria!
Strictly speaking the akkadians and sumerians were more or less one civilization. When they were first (re)discovered in the 19th century the only model of linguistic/civilizational change scholars could think of was conquest. Later on the models became more refined and scholars took note of the fact that ancient mesopotamians didn't really make an ethnic distinction that would correspond to "akkadians" and "sumerians" and they weren't at all shy about noting ethnic differences as with the later semitic newcomers, the amorites.
It's now thought that both akkadian and sumerian were widely used from the earliest days of mesopotamian civilization with akkadian being predominant in the north and sumerian in the south with an unknown percentage of people being bilingual. Later, towards the end of the third/beginning of the second millenium BC sumerian faded from everyday use and became strictly a language of religion/scholarship.
Ayyyyyy 🙌🏼

Hi

Best explanation I've seen so far of where Sargon of Akkad got his alias from
Tyler D As in "Sargon the Great"? That's hardly an alias. Almost every notable conqueror or ruler in history gets called the Great.

Don't they believe that Adam and Eve and the garden of eden was below mesopotamia where the great flood happened? It created the persian gulf?
John Doe eve was in iraq Adam not sure....
But idk what flood your talking about.....
Also witch garden do you mean
I never heard of the garden of eden 😆
The only garden i know witch was in iraq and its one of the worlds 7 mysteries place or whatever like the pyramids
That garden that i know is(the floating gardens)
Not sure if that is the one your talking about
Anyways dat information was useless....maybe useful.....
Yes the Christian Bible describes the beginning of man just as science has "discovered" it to have happened.
it amazes me to read all the comments 'correcting' what the video has to say. How many of you are accredited researchers?
Let's learn about the great Sargon of Akkad

Let's not, instead let's take a journey through time to Germany in the year 1935.
A video about an iraqi civilization , and yet there is no arabic caption !
What do you mean
True but other languages then have to be captioned as well and if u wanna be precise then kurdish as well and aramaic etc and this is made for English speaking viewers which im pretty sure u are
wow am very pride first gret civilization in iraq
I'm curious what you guys from Khan Academy think of the TartariaTablets. They were radiocarbon-dated as being around 7500 yo (5500 BC, making them much older than the writing of the sumerians and thus the oldest writing in the world). They are believed to belong to the Vinča-Turdaș culture, which was originally thought to have originated around 2700 BC by Serbian and Romanian archaeologists but this discovery pushed the civilisation much further into the past. They remain quite controversial however, and some say they cannot be taken into consideration even though they are dated correctly because there are doubts that the signs can convey an independent meaning by themselves and replace oral communication. I would really appreciate your opinion on this subject. To other youtubers: Please stay objective and non biased! Thanks.
BlueSwampyCraft
Dude Sumerians were the first people to creat writing
Sooooo what YOU are talking about is FAKE
No offense but go back to school to see they teach you that there 🙂
Gamer Ali6263 Are you stupid? I just said that it's ONLY a theory! And it is NOT taught in school. I precisely asked for their opinion since it's a controversial theory amd it is clearly not taught in schools, I learned about it from extensive research. I don't need you to send me back to school, I know my history. But there are new theories discovered, debating them doesn't mean you don't know history. Plus, new discoveries are being made and many historical thruths destroyed.
BlueSwampyCraft are you an idiot cus if your not then you should have checked what you said idiot
You never even said it was a theory in your original comment
So whos the stupid one now ha?

wait isn't the aboriginal Australians the oldest civilisation? Evidence goes from 40,00 years ago to present.
The Semites are late comers to the area..why the ignorance....look at a language tree...The Sumerians themselves say they came from the northen Armenian kingdom of Araratta..theiir language his shared with Armenian..no disrespect intended, but history should be straight..it is all of our story and each group has his place and time and contribution to all of us..

Fairly certain we were from ancient Mesopotamia.
It’s really really really sad that you’re not mentioning Kurds in any of your ancient Mesopotamia videos.
Kurdistan is exactly where Mesopotamia was.
But we understand why people like you are ignorant of the fact that Kurds are direct discendents of all those ancient civilizations.
We don’t have our own official state. If we had one, we could create hype around this like the way Persians, Arabs, and Turks do.
Presentation : bitsy and cluttered . More layout thought needed !
What happened before 1,000 BCE though?
Hey, The Doctor -- evidence supports that some of the first works out of Sumerians and Akkadians were: The Epic of Gilgamesh + Atrahasis. These are both potentially transcribed from older passages as well: I feel before the need for a more cultural-dependent human it wasn’t as critical to preserve such information but as that became a driver we have significantly improved the use of tools and preservation of history. Before then I suppose humans were mainly preserving history through word of mouth or stories/songs etc

yup
why you people say "modern day Iraq" ?!!
the name of Iraq comes from Uruk which is the first city in the world!
