Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- I leave Iraq's capital, Baghdad, and head south to visit Babylon - the largest city of the ancient world. It is now overlooked by an abandoned palace belonging to Saddam Hussein. Along the way I get offered to eat food (dolma) by an Iraqi family.

Iraq is a good country but unfortunately destroyed many times in the past
Iraq was destroyed because of the oil in which it is located, in addition to being the first country in history. This made countries turn towards Iraq in order to steal and destroy it.
Rich and cultured societies always end up victims of colonial greed. That is why we dont trust anyone. Iraqis are simple
Iraqis have so much that make those that cannot have it, loot. We should never let colonialists trick any nation
It’s Unfortunate that our government doesn’t care about the archeological remains and didn’t try to discover more anyway hope you enjoy here and we glad to have you in Iraq 🇮🇶
@@Ankido.انا ايظا اتفق معك
Bom dia e verdade Brother
It’s sad they can’t and will never accept any facts of the past too much religious endocyrination etc it’s sad they can’t keep the sites clean and protected, tourism could help locas to make some money 😢
I worked in Iraq for 5 years as an expat, best experience ever, miss it everyday .
@@all_about_racing yes bro
Never in my life i would have thought i would like to go to Iraq, oh well, into the bucket list it goes!
Kind hearted family,i love their country so much
My house is about 7 minutes away. Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoyed it.
You have to tell us more! Do you even go dig somewhere just for fun. I can’t imagine having so so much history. Love from NY USA. How rare is it to see tourists?
In fact, tourists come in large numbers, especially to the historical places in Sumer and Babylon @@Bjamin9891
@@Bjamin9891Hello friend, it’s a pleasure seeing you interested in our culture and I’m willing to answer your questions as I’m from Iraq, Babylon.
- Digging around the city was my passion during my childhood, obviously I did not find any valuable material😂, but it was fun! Unfortunately, not all Iraqis are interested in their culture because of wars and civil wars now the country is healing rapidly we might see new ancient discoveries! (Hope so)
-As I said earlier, because of wars I have not seen many tourists in the city which is depressing for me and many people. I know lots of people who are still thinking that Iraq is still in war (last civil war was by ISIS during 2015), from my point of view Ihave not face any problem and I would say that the country is safe especially Baghdad, Babil, Karabla and the northern region.
I hope I had answered your questions and forgive me for my poor language I’m still learning.
I have prayed for the beautiful souls of the Iraqi people, they have gone through so much!!+++it would nice to see artifacts returned to them from Germany even though without robert koldewey did uncover with hard work the history!!🙏✝️
*Iraq 🇮🇶 is a country which has so much rich in natural resources like petrol,natural gas etc and it is very cheaper country as compared to UK and European countries. I love Iraq. I hope that good days will soon comes back to great Iraq🇵🇰💖🇮🇶*
Yeah but it’s safer and you see way nicer places in Europe
@@user-kf4bn3sv6w pretty subjective. Mesopotamia is where some of the most ancient human sites are found, that's pretty magical.
@@CripplingDuality yeah but they didn’t take care of the ancient like Egypt or Italy did
@@user-kf4bn3sv6w
Go and try to do something good for that country instead of blaming.

Sumeria predates Babylon. Sumeria is the cradle.

Greetings from Algeria .... and peace !
Without any reason I love iraq
Babylon is such an incredible place, and I have been loving to watch your vids in Iraq. I got to know your channel because of your videos in Algeria. It's amazing! Hope someday you make it to Brazil. I would love to see you exploring South America.
I’d love to get down to Brazil at some point. Thanks!
Hey if you ever have the chance to come to Iraq 🇮🇶 we will be happy 😄 to have you here to explore our culture

💞💞احب الجزائر تحيا من العراق
Thank you for highlighting the oldest and first civilization in the world. Thank you for visiting Iraq, which has been oppressed by the media and its facts. U deserve support. ❤️🇮🇶
Thank you for showing me a place I will never see in person. John in Chicago
Cheers John!
Hey John you will be our guest here
We would like for you to come here! It's not impossible and you can see it in person!
Iraq is a beautiful country sir ❤
Beautiful place and history.. i hope iraq comes back to its former glory days 🇬🇧
Thank you ❤😊
Wow Babylon is still pretty intact amazing.
It's fascinating
It's so nice to see tourism getting a boost in Iraq. Drew Binsky also went to in Iraq early this year, and now Jason. 👍

L'Irak berceau de la civilisation 😍🌹🕊
Thank you for taking the effort to go to Iraq and to show Babylon. I have always wondered what was available to see about this most iconic and historic city which you proudly show here. I continue to be impressed with your travels (and especially even more so during this crazy time). Once again thank you for your effort. Saddam's palace was certainly most impressive. Ah! The folly and ego of "man" knows no boundaries! And this is precisely why history is so fascinating.
this is also one of my dreams to visit Babylon and Iraq...What wonderful people.
If that country was safe, they could get so many tourists. That Saddam palace could be a great hotel and museum. I would love to go there.
Yup the US made it unsafe. What a stupid country
How incredible to be right next to the place Alexander The Great died...great video
Come visit it! Welcome in Iraq!
I visited babylon many time
If you visit incent increadble feelings iraqi cites
Like assyran cites! Summerian cites
Babylonaio cites you feel strange feelings! Just like you were in that ear and imgine old mesopotamins around you
So sad humans till date have not learned that we have stopped in this world for few years and will move on to next journey.
Palaces remain and humans pass away to the next world
No we don’t…there is no next journey
Even palaces don’t remain. Everything is fleeting
@@tsb3093 there is where do deads go
Babylon is one of the real wonders of the ancient world. It's incredible just how much has survived.
Visit India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 because India have very historical place than babylon..
It was. Virtually nothing survived, everything you see today is fake.
Iam from the city of Babylon

To many pajeets shit on the streets@@user-do4vk7xu1f
Wow Jason what an experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your travels. Now I have another country on my bucket list.cheers stay safe and happy travels. Peace.
Thank you so much for showing this incredible place! Just the word BABYLON gives goosebumps.....seeing it through your eyes made my day! Your knowledge of history ( Egypt series and other places ) is commendable, and certainly the effortless, just adequate, calm and confident commentary. Happy travels!
Very nice video bro, informative and beautiful presentation of Iraq.
Such a peaceful video and narration.
Fantastic series on Iraq, Jason - by far the best travel/doc I can find on youtube. Proper quality filming, excellent explanations and insights into what that amazing country has to offer. I've been wanting to go for many years! Your videos are not only entertaining but also serve a travel guide (we share a similar style of travelling) I often refer to when planning trips and this is coming from an experienced traveller!
Thank you so much for showing babylon to the world, we hope everyone comes here and witness the fascinating history that Iraq have for themselves
Indeed! Lord bless
I am a very proud Assyrian woman living in California, currently. Would love to visit those sites, especially Ishtar gate. Especially since I named my insurance agency Ishtar. Thank you for sharing.
Wha kind of insurance?
The real gate is in the Museum of Germany and you can see it if you go to Germany.

Why don t you move back to your homecoyntry to help rebuild it, just saying..
@@michaelahass2695 Mesopotamia, Assyrian Empire, the cradle of civilization, fell 2500 years ago. After the fall of Assyrian Empire and Babylon, we Assyrian don't have a country anymore. So whichever country that we're born into that country is our birth place.
Iraq is not my homecountry
Thanks for posting Jason. You forgot to mention in Babylon there are the Hanging Gardens, and they are one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
I really enjoyed this video, you always travel to countries that I would love to visit
Wow. I can't wait to go there too. I think you chose best when you you went there with a tour company. So much to see there.
I was born in Babylon city, I haven’t been there since more than 10 years I miss it too much, I live in San Antonio Texas and I hope come to visit it soon.
so u iraqi or not
Loving the Iraq videos Jason... Keep them coming!
Jason! Incredible! So much history, both ancient and more recent. So enlightening. Thank you.
Man that hotel looks amazing
Great tour my friend & great hospitality 🙏
Wow! Thanks for humanizing Iraq for us. I had to live through years of horrible propaganda during the War on Terror. We were made to think of Iraq as a hopeless case after George W Bush's invasion and Paul Bremer's horrendously failed occupation policies. I always knew that Iraqis were good people as is the case with the ordinary people in any country.
We're people like everyone else.
of the people. they are not bad people. saddam husein was bad
@@TheDevicemanager GW Bush was bad as well
@Ewan I agree Bush was not all thst great. Bush Jr and Clinton were the ones that started to downsize the navy
That is so true. Ordinary people are peaceful and loving. Our leaders pit us against each other!!!! I so wish it would stop!! Ordinary people are suffering

Amazing video, stay blessed
Thanks for posting, , the city of Babylon gave birth to empires that ruled the ancient world Jeremiah 51:37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, an object of horror and scorn, a place where no one lives. Through your eyes I have seen prophecy being fulfilled. Greetings from Canada.
Great video in Babylon.
Congratulations for sharing us the vídeo.

Hi from algeria 🇩🇿❤️
hi mr. jason thank you for your explain about Babylon city. I love this so much.
please come to Indonesia. Indonesian history is so great too
Thanks Jason...... I'm imagining the lush and beautiful garden of Nebuchadnezzar during his time in Babylon. The Bible is true.
Thank you great presentation to see Babylon. Pleasant travels
Wonderful video my friend
Wow, I love your videos, really great job!
Great to see u again again on another Muslim country I hope you have a good experience going to Mesopotamia. I am sure the Iraqi people like all Muslims are very hospitable to you. You do a great job doing these videos. Be well be stay safe
Just FYI, Assyrian's were the 1st nation to follow Jesus Christ and to become Christians. So, Assyrians are all born Christians, unless they convert to other religions.
@@aliceshamoon3961 🤣😂
@@aliceshamoon3961
Oh o.
Iraqies are hospitable weather they are Muslims, Christians, Yazidies, Mandaeans, Jewish.. It's part of the culture It's got nothing to do with being muslim... Iraq belong to no religion.
just relax fyi Iraq is not just muslim country u have other faiths living there like Christians and other civilians Assyrians which is the indigenous people of Iraq
It was a dream to visit Babylon since my childhood. Now it is nearly fulfilled through your presentation. Thanks. Saddam Hossain's palace need to be presereved. Good or bad it has history related to this palace.
Agreed
Good Job ! Thanks for the video
Love your vlogs Jason Thank you for sharing!

Great video!
Great video and keep the good work.
God bless you and be safe where ever you go.

Thanks John
I would love to go to visit Babylon so much history. Thank you for this video it’s incredible
The man at 7:45 was straight at his point, and it was no monkey business.
I have seen many monumental pieces from Babylon in Pergamon museum, Louvre, British museum etc. I am glad to know that people can visit it now.
