I'm watching this as part of my art history class, but it's also good as a glimpse into cultures that aren't my own--past or present. Which is to say, each and every one. A lot of things have happened in my life, and any connection I might have had to my own heritage and culture was lost. Or rather, my own heritage is foreign. At the same time though, I've literally re-created myself as an individual from the ground up--identity, values, and such. And in watching all these videos, along wit connecting with different kinds of people (i.e. Muslims, Christians, people of different ethnicity and cultural backgrounds), I've already found a bit of myself in pretty much everyone and everything. These ancient cultures are no exception. All of this is important, especially today, with the current state of humanity and civilization. Even as someone with no real home or culture--who has to create those from the ground up--it's easy to see how we're all of each other. I'm still trying to figure out how to go about this, since proper channels don't really exist. But maybe I'm not the only one who feels that humanity needs a different path, and a different direction for themselves and their civilization. Looking to these ancient cultures and drawing from them is one way to go about it. Learning from the past to create a prosperous future is important.

The colour of the brick is an interesting touch. At one point, lapis was considered more precious than gold. Perhaps veneering the brick with copper to give it the appearance of lapis, and using the term 'pure blue stone,' was to show the sheer wealth of the city and make people think it was the more expensive precious stone?

@@daviddavis : Not at all. It was found in 10,000 and more tiny pieces. Packed in wooden boxes and transported to Berlin to be researched and reassembled there. About 90% of the blue glazed bricks you see today at the gate in Berlin were produced locally there with high craftmanship.
I have been there, and what I didn't understand is, why the model is different from the real gate. Another thing, what good is it having the Gates of Babylon if we can't see them? Can't they get rid of some other stuff in Germany in order to make way for the complete Gates? Thank you for the vid!!! :)
adonis apolo because the real gate still in iraq you only hsve the inner smaller front gates beside why would we let you take the other gates from Iraq ?? This is our history not to mention that you should come to see it where it naturally belong ! Not see part of it in some muesum
if people go all the way to Germany from somewhere far, they may want to go to visit museum to see german stuff, i dont think it would be good to get rid of more things, i would like to also see more German stuff.
The depiction of the dragon is more reminiscent of the unicorn, perhaps influenced by stories of horses and eye accounts or word of mouth of the rhinoceros

Jeah, can't wait for it to be bombed to pieces, or ripped apart by the next terror group to throw the bricks after running iraqi soldiers. How about Iraq first get's it's shit together?
You are right Suleii This belongs to Iraq. This marvelous Babylon structure must be protected no matter what. I think the German Empire is a good option to keep IT safe. The Germans know how important this discovery is and how important is to keep IT safe. They know that Iraq history is so related to the German history. It's the same. So don't worry. They Sheltered away from any attack from the pale Empire that actually rules the world.
It does bother us to see our history in other places rather than Iraq but think about it after 2003 and the American invasion of Iraq and the chaos over there believe me it's better to keep those items in germany or Sweden or any other good country its safe in there if you take it back they will be stolen or destroyed or sold privately or Iran will take them but here everyone can see them and will have a better image about Iraq and more understanding of us and our history we were agreat nation and will rise up again in the future also the Germans says it is Iraqi item it does belong to Iraqis so they are not taking it or stealing it they are showing it for us
@@adamtx1131 I read somewhere that there was a group of Polish people that had been sent to destroy this in Irak, so in a way Germany saved it. Anyone know if this is true? Seems odd.
Historians have a pretty good idea of what Babylon's architecture, culture and religion was like thanks to the efforts of assyriologists that have been researching these subjects since the mid XIX century (if not earlier), so that now we have sources other than the Bible, Herodotus, Diodorus or Ctesias on Babylonian history.

How did it look when it was first discovered? Any images of the gate in Babylon where it was first found? How was it transported to Germany?
The answer to the last question is: They took it apart and reassembled in germany (probably moved by boat)

no - she said 'two and a half millenia' - that means two and half THOUSAND years - one millenium = 1,000
Tom Harrison yes the gate is 2500 years old (:
The video and Abdullah_2005 are right. The gate was built around 575 BC. Not much later, in 539 BC, Babylon was captured by the Persians.
Howd they move it?
Train.
They stole it piece by piece 😢
Inscriptions on the wall looks like cuneiform alphabet. Is it?
Yes.
Im here because of the Eternals trailer
dude, this is cool
It's interesting that the British still possess most of the original gate with little outcry from the international community.
The gates are in Berlin, not London.
The British have a lot of stolen artifacts, but not this gate.
Pretty sure they would have been blown up by now if left there
