I got goosebumps watching this, always fascinated by Mesopotamian and Indus Valley civilisations as we still know very little about them!
I got goosebumps thinking this guy was the man who conquered land to become head of the first empire in mankind...that sounds pretty badass! I'm new to it but I'm hooked.
Normally a channel that doesn’t publish for a few months would be dead and forgotten.
Not this one. Outstanding work as always.
I always wait patiently.
💗
Forgotten yes, but not this one. So many poorly produced so called ``historical`` channels, this one stands out for its professionalism and accuracy. Always waiting for the next installment.
I definitely don't forget it. I've gone back and listened to the Bronze Age collapse video probably 10 times at least.
Fall of Civilizations too!
True historians never forget
"King of Akkad, Sumer & the Universe"
Truly a travesty that his intergalactic empire fell.
It's all about the rivers...rivers rivers. The Nile floods as well and king Namur / king scorpion is an early bronze age contemporary sumer is a bit older but it's arguable by how much. However the Nile is more stable due to it being fed by the Great lakes as apposed to just the rainfall from the Taurus mountains. Given the ages of history Egyptian farm land hasn't salted up don't know why . But yes it is rivers tigres and Euphrates or the blue and white Nile. I love sumer and Akkad this video is brilliant but let's thank the nameless person who decided to save the library at ninevah. Plus the person who cracked cuniform

Hi
Iam from Iraq 🇮🇶
2.300-2.193 BC: the akkadic reign with Sargon and his successors, Rimush, Manishtushu, Naram Sin and Shar Kalishami. Not too long lasting.
The fact that you have single-handedly researched recorded edited and produced this documentary is astounding! I happen to know the amount of work that's involved in something like that, usually it's a team of a handful or even tens of people.
Not singlehandedly. He mentions right before the Magellan advertisement that the Channel History with Cy helped him research this topic. I love his videos and think he does an amazing job but let’s give credit where due. Cy has an amazing channel too

I have recently found out that my roots are in Mesopotamia and have been researching about it ever since. Thank you for putting so much effort into making this video💕
Are you Iraqi?
When I went to school I used to think history was boring. Years later I can't seem to align myself with the world around me, so I started to watch a lot of documentaries about the ancient world, contemplating what is was like to be a human back then. This documentary was really fascinating!
I really appreciate these documentaries. I never had the money for college, so I feel like I’m actually still learning something when I watch them.
@Janitor Queen You obviously would have deserved a college education. I'm so glad that we can share these documentaries!
Believe me, these are more interesting, and more professionally done than many college-level courses.
i'm about to graduate and i didnt learn this. you're in the right place.
Me too!
College isn't even that bad. Get a job and take a class little by little you earn more and you get an education. Just don't take out loans or study dumb subjects like gender studies or English or music. I took engineering and I'm glad I did
That’s cause you are learning
Hey Pete we really appreciate the amazing writing and hard work you put into these epic videos. Thank you for all of the great stuff to watch!
I am consistently stunned at the level of production that goes in to these videos and others on similar channels.
I would put this UA-cam channel up on the same level as The World At War, Ken Burns Vietnam and other utterly fantastic documentaries.
@@suxcawks Those Ken Burns documentaries have a lot of clout but Pete does a great job. The subject matter, time periods and excellent narration are why I watch
Love you Pete. Your hard work in History is greatly appreciated, as we learn from it and can grow with the information. This epic is saved and I will watch it many times for the Art & Story you show & tell. So Grateful.
So say we all!!
What more can I say? Fantastic as always. The detail and thoroughness are laid out with eloquent narration. BRAVO
Great documentary on a distant, fascinating period. Land, wealth and power, the more time passes, the more things stay the same.
I've only just found your channel after a recommendation from an online friend... amazing insights, well made and very informative. Thank you for all your hard work. I shall be binge watching more of your work over the coming months! Really glad to have your channel. 😊
The decipherment of cuneiform (Sanskrit 'wedge form or shaped') is perhaps the greatest, albeit forgotten aspect of this history. The man of whom the honour is owed is George Smith, an assistant of Henry Rawlinson at the British Museum, and not even a scholar. This was the man that pieced together the account of the Flood, and realised 1 piece was missing among the some 26,000 fragments in the museum.
He was the man that went back to the site, climbed under the rubble to rummage the countless fragments of the library and found the missing fragment of Tablet 11.
The flood was complete!
George Smith died in Iraq aged 33 (from memory).
YEHOVAH. Thank for the. Teachers
How does one die from memory?
Thank you for this valuable information.
@@texasray5237 what wit you have.
@@texasray5237 I think this person meant they memorized that fact.
Another outstanding production! This is the sort of thing that should be promoted on UA-cam, not the rubbish that always seems to get all the views. What you accomplish virtually singlehandedly is astounding, putting to shame projects with large crews and budgets. Take a long vacation, you've more than earned one for the massive effort this took.

Still, 7 million views is NOT peanuts....
Thank you so much for this amazing video, please more from Mesopotamian, there is so much history to be told, and today it seems to be lost and forgotten
We used to make disposable tin cans by the billions before aluminum became more economical. I wonder what the Akkadians would think about our wasteful use of tin?
'Tin' cans were made of steel. We did use a lot of stamped tin for decorative ceiling tiling.
The Sumerians were beautiful artisans! I’ve seen Queen Puabi’s artifacts at an exhibit in the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and they really stuck with me. Before you said Puabi’s name, I already felt the footage you were showing looked familiar. That doesn’t happen to me too often with historical societies (and I go to a lot of anthropological museums), really a testament to how strong of an impression seeing their crafts will leave on you!
I really recommend anyone who is able to, go visit the Penn Museum. The exhibit on Queen Puabi and her people is pretty extensive! The jewelry especially is so ornate and finely smithed, it’s amazing to think how long ago people were already incredibly skilled in making beautiful things.

This literally isbthe first time an ad... Has actualy been something i am grateful for having learned of...
This was amazing , sumer has always been a topic of study for me and has held my interest for years. Because of the people of sumer and the Akkadians , I have a deeper understanding of biblical text . From the legend of Gilgamesh to Ishtar a people rich in an ancient history predating eqypt. Brilliant work on this my friend , thx again .
I was deployed to a base right next to thre ziggurat of Ur. I was lucky enough to be able to go on a rare tour of the area. There is a very unique feel to the place, you can look down these shoots that lead somewhere nobody has seen, it's amazing.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Awesome job. To be honest I never would of sought this documentary out so I am SO happy to have stumbled upon this!!! This channel is so interesting and the videos are unbelievably well done. Keep it up!!! 👍 👍 ❤️
I have always found these civilizations to be more interesting and spectacular than ancient Egypt. Sadly most people know nothing of their history. Brilliant documentary World Class!
Oh our elites and royals know their history they just don't want you to know your history they don't want you to know that there's actually a creator they would prefer you to think that your ancestors are nobody that crawls out of a chemical soup even though that is never been possible and that's a fairy tale
Much appreciated to have this Akkadian/Sumerian-focused historical overview of the cradle of our modern civilization.
No It’s not they found water corrosion on the Sphinx dating it to be there 10000 years or even before that 😂 all this is Hollywood props like the moon landing no other ancient people talked or made art similar
It won’t even on the equator line or the center of earth so Ik they was not in tune but was fallen angels known as the watchers in the Bible they all in hell and the these people they offspring will join them for lying to history cut cut let’s add sun tablets guys Hollywood need some more movies

Thanks! Beautiful and comprehensive documentary! Keep it up! Happy to help fund your personal research! Watched with a group of 8+ individuals, all whose minds and world-history knowledge was increased and expanded thanks to your efforts!
As a professional Cameraman myself , I congratulate you on the production quality of your programmes. Content is well researched, music is in the background (bed) rather than in the foreground so we can hear every single bit of your narration.
My only advice certainly no criticism, would be to get a gimbal for the camera for the close ups in museums etc or use a DJI Ronin, RemovuK1 gimbal with 4k camera as it’s very difficult to hold any camera for a while without sticks. Most museums wouldn’t allow us to use sticks due to the H&S but one of those pocket gimbal cameras are around £200 or less I think it would be a great investment.
Some professional Broadcasters could learn from your example 😎
These histories show a lesson that todays leaders have not yet learned. Greed arrogance and quest for greater power always bring an end to ones rule.
Nothing has been changed since then, no evidence of the evolution.
I've been waiting for Mesopotamia to be covered from this amazing channel! I'm so excited for this distraction from the world outside!
There are already some older videos about Mesopotamia on this channel; about Lugal-Zage-Si, the Neo-Sumerian Empire, Zimri Lim, Hammurabi & the first Babylonian Empire, even one about Sargon. Although these videos are much shorter than the newer ones.
Very well done! I can appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into researching, gathering and stitching the material. Kudos to you! Thank you for this wonderful piece of history.
Astonishingly mesmerizing and informative, as usual. Your content is always more interesting and engrossing than all of my university courses PUT TOGETHER!! I often watch some of the videos more than once because they are packed with so much detail that I want to make sure I absorb as much as possible. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!

It's really interesting to see that Ishtar was his patron goddess because in mythology Ishtar takes the Eanna temple and the city of Uruk from Anu signifying the change of power from a god of an older generation to a new generation goddess. Ishtar's myths definitely reflect Sargon's control of Sumer and his reign only cemented her worship throughout Mesopotamia as ''Queen of Heaven".
There is only 1 God.
He is Lord.
The same Lord who is Messiah is God and His Holy spirit.
The God of Jacob is the God of Israel.
He said Israel would regather back to Israel in the latter days. That is exactly what happened. Thats why the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is my Lord AND God.

Why, did you make even a brick for the ancient civilization that flourished there? What is iraq today, inhabited by Muslims? It’s a shit hole, that’s what!
This is a fabulous video. I could not stop watching it. You really made this interesting and clarified a lot about this important history of the beginnings of empires vs city states. I really appreciate your use of maps to show the locations of all of these places in relationship to each other and the big rivers. I LOVED seeing all of the relics of the time. Thank you again for this video.

This comment needs more upvotes, that's a pretty good lecture, specially when paired with this video.
The stories of hero kings are reflected in Gilgamesh.
Cult of personality , the trials, the winnings all in there. RIMUSH DOESNT GET Chance to become aware of himself, like Gilgamesh did. Imo
I was going to be semi-productive and maybe go to bed early, but then this was here.
I can't believe the amount of work this guy puts in. Bravissimo!
Sumeria is mentioned in the bible as the place where the tower (zig ur at) was built by nim rud(sargon of akad)
All the people ( decendants of noah) were gathered at bab el ( gate of heaven) .The peoples were scattered by the El o him who con fused the tongues of men.They emigrated to distant locations and the land bridges were flooded by glacial melting. (In the days of PELAG was the earth divided.)

Thank you for this! I’m doing research about my ancestors;I found out it is believed that Akans from Ghana, West Africa are to have origins in the Middle East as the Akkadian people of Babylon. So I’m really grateful to have found this video!
This is why I’m grateful for UA-cam. People can make their passions public and not worry about sponsorships or ratings. Since you can basically watch this whenever you can see how many people truly enjoy history. Guys like you and Cy really show through your videos how much you love history.
I'd agree but youtube has taken most ad revenue from creators since 2016 so without patreon they cannot survive financially anymore. But yes youtube used to be a great place for people to pursue their passion very true
This is the story of how one bully replaced another bully, calling themselves kings. Thank you for once again making this crystal clear.
The original Mesopotamia was black egypt. Every human originated from ancient Egypt millions of years ago. Egypt had advance tech millions years ago
These "bully" made each passing generation stronger and better equipped to survive in the environment.
That’s absolutely nuts that it’s still somewhat intact. The fact Abraham’s city actually exists. That we can touch it, we can see it…. Mindblowing to me.

Others here may have more knowledge of this period of time, but I understood that Gilgamesh was an actual historical figure, a king of Uruk sometime during the period of 2800 - 2500 BC, and I think the oldest stories of him were written in Akkadian. It seems he would have been included in an entire history of the Akkadians, so I wondered why he wasn't included, or if I just missed it. There was so much great information here I could have missed it.
I think Gil was from the earlier Sumerian's, a King and is part of the original Flood legend
My understanding as well. He was a preflood king.
@@paulprice1705correct in my estimation. He's spoken of on the Kings List (of Sumerian origin)

I thoroughly enjoyed the background music selections; they add such depth and emotion to the narrative. Your attention to detail and storytelling prowess truly shine through, making the entire experience incredibly enjoyable. Thank you for your outstanding work!
i love the specific phrasing ‘according to ______’s inscriptions’ to keep in mind that this is a wildly distorted view of a very large event that happened. i love the complete middle-ground tone of this whole video. it’s v interesting and entertaining.

Thank you for making all these history documentaries. Amazing work. Great quality. Fantastic narration.
Thanks for a great presentation of interesting history. The Code of Hammurabi was not the oldest legal code (as indicated around 20:00). It dates around 1750 BCE. Code of Urukagina (around 2370 BCE), the Code of Ur-Nammu (around 2050 BCE), the Laws of Eshnunna (About 1930 BCE) are much older, and I believe there are clear trails of influence between them. It also seems Hammurabi's code is relatively regressive compared with some older codes, with a stronger emphasis on punishment where some of the earlier codes like that of Ur-Nammu that emphasised recompense for harm relatively more. The Babylonian law seems more inequitable as well. The Code of Hammurabi is probably remembered more because it is by far the best preserved and hence the code for which we have the most complete accounts today.
The oldest legal code was the Commandment “be fruitful and multiply”. Akkadians are post flood.
Look at you....Mr Code Master
Look at you......the all knowing code Master

Amazingly well done. The information is presented in a way that it's easy to absorb. Thank you.
Recently found this channel and loving every minute. Exceptionally well done.
Such an epic documentary! Videos like this have replaced what the history channel used to provide for me before it became reality TV and Bigfoot. These are actually higher quality than their old documentaries as well.
Phew, I finally watched it. Astonishing story of ancient Mesopotamia, thanks a lot Pete!
Well done, as always 🙏🏾👍🙂
Amazing video!
I am in the middle of moving and listening to this helped make the packing bearable. Thank you for such incredible content.
Huge fan of your work, massively informative and yet entertaining. Thanks for the nice work
Another absolute belter. Ancient history is almost limitless in the stories, journeys and tales it can tell us of. The ultimate adventure!
This channel "fall of civilisations", "history with cy" and "world of antiquity" my faves at the moment (WOA is great at tackling the fanciful ancient aliens/pre-flood civilisations type of stuff if you ever need some back-up when debunking these these things).
Yeah, we've got some good history channels here these days, plenty to feed an enquiring mind. :)
Oh, yes, I love World of Antiquity! He has a great voice as well as a great grasp of what it takes to expand our knowledge without being confusing or overwhelming. 😁
I'll have to look up the others, too. Thanks!
I'm 55 and American but I'll meet you. Wtf. Why not. I'm in to new and interesting shit.
sir, I want to go to the UK in about 2 years to study history and your channel is a jewel I found recently that is inspiring me even more.. thank you for your hard work!
What a professional and informative video. I really love these, learning about the great civilizations of the past. There's so much we are yet to learn..
Thank you for this documentary! I've been on a big ancient history binge lately, and this was another interesting addition. It made for excellent listening while I was doing dishes last night. Thank you again.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
I really appreciate all the hard work you put into. Wonderful documentary. Music is too loud though, sometimes it is hard to hear your voice over the background music. Thank you
Okay, Karen

He was right... so, why insult a helpful comment 🙄?
Oh thank goodness its not me then. The audio balance 8s bad. Music volume went from quiet to really loud whenever the narrator stop talking.
So love this! May have known most of this info, but man! The way you tell it, it is so worth hearing! Love how you highlighted the trade routes with the goods from the various places being used together!
The Bronze artifact at 34:57 is so clean. The beard is two strand twisted which is why it looks like that and it’s something I wish to achieve!
This is so interesting. Have you ever thought about entertaining the thought of the biblical side of ancient history. For example the book of Jasher. It tells what Abraham was doing at these times. He dealt with these people. It is an amazing book. I think you would find it very fascinating. Thank you. I love ancient history.
The list of things we account as sumarian inventions is absolutely epic, we need a doc done on just what they birthed for us modern humans, maths, irrigation, farming, writing, reading, recorded music and cooking. Just all absolutely mind boggling, but the sumarians never got forgotten till after the asirians and babylonians, egypt may of been naighbours to akkad, but egypt was a baby at that point, sumar and akkad was already ancient to the Egyptians. Being on the last days of sumar looking to the beginning, would be longer than us looking back at the first pharos of Egypt.. Mad concept really...
