Very informative both josh and megan this channel is a very necessary and valuable asset and a necessary remedy for the claims of biblical psedoarcheology of fundamentalism
Who writes the story and why matters. You've shown that once again. After loosing my appetite for magical thinking, it's information and research like this that revives the old stories and gives them meaning again. I'll never get tired of listening to you and dr Josh.
Thank you Meghan! would you guys consider doing as a Patreon project a video series on the Prophecies. I saw Josh's great interview with Aron Ra on the Daniel prophecy and the other one he did on his channel. That was good. But him being interviewed was even better, To make a series of 10 or 15 minute long video's. I would chip in :)
@@DigitalHammurabi That's wonderful news! So far have done just one time donation. But now will consider becoming a Patreon! If one has to use philosophy to prove the existence of their God.

A 43-year reign is indeed notable; notably short, that is. It's barely a blink of the eye compared to the 43,200-year reign of En-men-lu-ana in the Sumerian king list.
Hi, I'm not a scholar by any means but I was wondering if it was possible that when you said that it was Megasthenes who was quoted by Josephus as saying that Nebuchadnezzar subjugated and relocated that populations of Iberia that he was not referring to the Iberian peninsula and referring to the Kingdom of Iberia (located in the Caucasus right next to Caucasian Albania. Why do these names exist for the love of God?). I would guess that Josephus could have been using Iberia as a modern term at the time for that region. I don't know if Megasthenes would have used that name in his time. I'm not saying that's how it is, just wondering if anyone knew because I am definitely not a professional.
That’s a great question! From what I understand, Megasthenes was actually saying that the reason there’s an Iberia in the Caucasus is because Nebuchadnezzar deported people from the Iberian peninsula to the Caucasus. Kind of like how European immigrants settled in the USA and named their settlements after the places they’d emigrated from.
@ShadeyBladey Why ask me, that is not my area of expertise. It is true that Assyria conquered the Phoenician homeland, Israel, Judah and at least part of Lower Egypt. Whether the Phoenician colonies recognized Assyrian sovereignty is questionable as is the claim the Assyria conquered all of Iberia [i.e. current Spain and Portugal]. You would be better advised to ask @Digital Hammurabi if there are any cuneiform records from Phoenician colonies in Spain or, especially, Carthage acknowledging Assyrian overlordship.
What kind of scholar are you how could you avoid all the Ancient Alien Astronauts and their impact on Babylon? I would say a good one. Hoping you will be able to get back to working on your PhD soon.
I assumed that was a good thing, but having never played Hitman I googled her character. I did actually grow up in the same county, so I guess that explains any vocal similarities!
Brilliant video, thank you for all you do!
Another fantastic video. Thanks for bringing Mesopotamian history to greater prominence.
You are very welcome ☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed it! I
Great content as usual,Megan. You spoil us.
It may be just me, but your audio seemed very muffled though.

Excellent job on this! These wonderful videos tell me that I've lots to learn!
You encourage me to learn more being that all reported fits what I believe the truth to be.
Peace, and thank you Digital Hammurabi.
I wish I could sit down and have a conversation with you. I have questions. You have answers. I could learn so much.
Excellent as always!
I greatly enjoyed it and learned a lot new. Thank you both for the marvelous content you make.
Thank you so much for watching!
I love this stuff. Thanks
Thank you for helping us know more.
One small note: Herodotus flourished in the fifth, not the fourth, century BCE.
Oh no! Thank you so much!
Great video thanks

I’ll talk to Josh about it, but I think he’d probably be interested! He’s actually been talking about doing some more videos on Daniel ☺️

Do these mini-biographies of Shulgi, Hammurabi, Tigath-Pilaser lll, Shennecherib, Ashurbanipal, etc.
Consider the NEBUCHADNEZZAR TABLETS book.
A 43-year reign is indeed notable; notably short, that is. It's barely a blink of the eye compared to the 43,200-year reign of En-men-lu-ana in the Sumerian king list.
I don’t think anyone would argue that the latter is rooted in historical fact, though...
@@DigitalHammurabi What?! We can't accept ancient texts at their face value? Shock! Horror!

@@DigitalHammurabi So it might be a "Just so story" rather than literally true history‽

Oh it definitely is - Nebuchadnezzar most certainly did not make it to Spain!
@@DigitalHammurabi Or like how Gaulish migrants gave their name to Galatia in Asia Minor.
the Nebuchadnezzar II Tablets

😂😂 I read your comment, and then did a double-take when I saw your name!
@@DigitalHammurabi I'm glad I could make you smile. It was my intention. Keep up the great content I always find it entertaining and educational.
Read Michael Heiser's work on that. He dismantles that theory to the ground
Everyone knows ancient aliens were cosmonauts and not astronauts.
Yes!!! Thank you!!!
This woman is Diana from Hitman

Why is there not a silly song about Nebbuccannezza?
Relax, you're both intelligent and beautiful, you've got nothing to prove to anyone. Thanks for the video

Josephus was a notorious fabricator.
What did he fabricate?
