Hammurabi of Babylon, the Master of Mesopotamia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 січ 2020
- Most people who have heard of the Babylonian king Hammurabi are familiar with him as a lawgiver. While his code of laws is famous, there is more to his story than most people realize. Not only was Hammurabi one of the greatest kings of the ancient world, but he was also a shrewd politician, statesmen, tactician and builder. In this video, we take a look at the political life of Hammurabi and his reign as king of not just Babylon, but practically all of Mesopotamia.

#Babylon #mesopotamia #Hammurabi
God this is epic
Where most history youtubers choose to focus on only one or two kingdoms, Cy shows us the primal chaos of this war-like era by focusing on all of them at once!
haha it kind of reminded me of a strategy board game like RISK when I was putting this together... many players all with their own strategies and alliances... was fun to put together and glad you liked it! As always, thanks for stopping by!
@Clyde Sklar If you need to hack her stuff to spy. Then you may as well just dump her the trust is clearly gone. Without trust how can you have a relationship?
That was great, detailed and referenced, here's a like
Thanks so much, I really glad you got something out of it... inspires me to make more of these!
It was ha
Finally a video about the dude himself, Hammurabi! Great presentation with visuals that paint the political landscape at the time!
I have read some of Marc Van De Mieroop's books on Mesopotamia, especially about Hammurabi. We definitely know next to nothing about his personality, but one thing that I thought was an interesting observation is that by judging by the numerous tablets left behind regarding his orders to various of his "viziers", Hammurabi was an a workaholic, impatient man and a bit of a control freak but also appears to have had a genuine interest in the quality of life of his subjects. Aside from numerous public works and canals he built and dug, he also actively involved himself heavily in the administration of justice amongst even the lowliest of his subjects, not to mention the care he showed to the people of Larse when he conquered them, by annulling all outstanding debts (amongst other things), which, at the time, was a sort of one-time thing for kings ascending to the throne.
Thanks for the great video, again!
Hi, thanks for stopping by and for the kind words, appreciate it! Yes, Marc Van De Mieroop's book on Hammurabi was extremely helpful and most of the quotes I used came from that. If you like that one and want more detail about non-military activities, Dominique Charpin's book on Hammurabi is also really good, a bit more detailed. Paul-Alain Beaulieu's "A History of Babylon" is also really good for other periods of Babylonian history, especially the Kassite. Check those out if you get the chance.
Once again, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
@@HistorywithCy Oh ,great, thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check Charpin's book next for sure!
I can also say that your channel is the first channel I subscribed AND clicked on the bell icon thingie!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it and am honored!
Have to win the hearts and minds of the people first, before leading them to the slaughter!
i just rewatched this.
Despite what little we know about that ancient time, Cy's storytelling and the geopolitical drama makes for excellent videos
Cup of tea early morning and am on holiday.. whats missing.. oh i know another CY episode.. great job my friend just in time.
Good morning my friend! Glad you're starting the day with some more history of ancient Mesopotamia!
@@HistorywithCy its a time well spent listening to you , am sure many agree with me.. thanks a lot for all your hard work ..btw I wish more digging is conducted in Iraq ASAP before many artefacts are gone.. from what i hear and see, people there are literally walking on artefacts and finds are something normal for the local people.. its a shame really coz many missing facts could have been found by now if it wasn't for the chaotic state of the country. I do hope for a better future for Iraq and its antiquities.
Me too... I pray for a better future for them and all people... God bless.
This is way yyyy better than most history channel documentaries
Thanks so much, glad you liked it...not that many people into Hammurabi beyond the law code so the fact that you got through it all is awesome! Thank you!
Man this is AWESOME!!! It's like a movie!
Haha some said like a strategy or video game, but I'll take movie as well! Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
Thank you for another great episode, Cy. You rock! Stay safe yourself as well
No other video or series of videos has given me such a solid understanding of layman’s history for this area and time. Thank you so much for making these and breaking them down into easily digestible pieces. Well done.
Comments like this make my day...thanks so much for watching, really appreciate it! If you liked this one you may also enjoy the more recent 3 hour video Babylon: The City at the Center of the World - The Concise History of Babylonia which includes more stories like this one. Thanks again!
Loved the letters in this video. They were so intense. Also feel like animation got better as well. Best video so far
Thank you! I'm going to try to do the same with other videos from now on because they add more depth to what otherwise would just be a bunch of facts and statements.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it! More to come soon!
Thank you very much for this video!
As always, great piece of work. Keep it up ♥️
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
Wow! Great explanation!!! Thanks for posting these videos!!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it that you sat through this video...it was probably one of my favorites to make and I love the time period of Hammurabi's reign... very Game of Thrones-ish. Thanks again for stopping by and stay safe!
Another great and informative video Cy
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Understanding all this in print would have been impossible. Mind boggling complexity of Kings Kingdoms and cities, and to add to the confusion, the dates are in reverse!
Thanks for stopping by, glad the vid made the subject a bit more palpable...more coming soon! .
Nice, love the background and details on the rise of Hammurabi
Thanks man, appreciate it! This was actually one of my favorites to make so thrilled that you enjoyed it! Stay safe!
The city with the name Meshkan-Shapir in Hebrew
משכן שפיר
means the pleasent home or the fair seat. (Also same meaning in ancient hebrew and Aramaic)
In Arabic it might be
مسكن سفر
Which means the seat of travel.
I am sure that some of these names of ancient cities and kings have meanings in modern Kurdish, Persian, Hebrew and Arabic and other near east languages.
Cy this is an excellent program I hope you keep him coming like this I can't say how much information is packed into it but I very much appreciate it and let keep them coming
Thanks, I'll keep 'em coming! Thanks also for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
Thank you for your material.
It is very condensed and easy to understand.
Thank you, I'm glad that it was helpful! More to come soon!
These videos are candy for my historically hungry brain.
Wow!!! I'm very happy to have found your channel 😁 Thank you very, very much!

Subscribed! I love your content! Could you do a video about ancient south America? I wish you much success!
Oi, como vai! Amo seu pais! For sure... actually I really want to get more into the history of Latin America, especially after living and working there for so many years. it's just that I've been stuck in the Bronze Age for some time, but I will eventually get there. Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile are the countries I've visited and so will probably focus on them first, but I'll also do other areas as well.

This is so interesting, thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
You very good videos
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I always find this part of Babylonian history interesting because of a lot of kings with the same surname as myself (‘Lim’) although mine is Southern Chinese in origin so I doubt I’m a descendent…
Nice video
Thanks, appreciate it!
Yep, this video was good !
Excelent video man. What about a complete history of the Eshnuna kingdom? There is not a lot of concise information about it
I just love your channel, keep up the great work
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I love studying the history of this region and am so glad that there are others like you out there who do as well...inspires me to put out more of these...thank you!
I'm very thankful to you for this great video, there is one thing I want to understand why the locals are not interested in their civilization while the West is very enjoying, I think I am the only one who is interested in that I did not find a single video explaining this like you in my mother tongue Thank you very much.
Another great video. If you made this stuff up people would say it's too convoluted.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback...was one of the most fun videos for me to make. Thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it...stay safe!
I really appreciate the hard work you put on to make this video. Very informative.
I want to know more about Rim Sin. Was he Elamite or Amorite or Akkadian or sumerian?
Thanks so much, it means a lot that you like these longer videos. That's a good question. Though he ruled Larsa, many scholars believe that he had Elamite ancestry because of the name of his father and grandfather (whose names I forget at the moment). However, he gave his sons Akkadian names and for the most part, ruled over what was by then a mostly Akkadian and perhaps Amorite-speaking population. Of course, the city of Larsa used to be in the heart of what was Sumer just a few centuries before.
Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask, it's always great when you all want to learn more.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it...stay safe!
History with Cy Thanks for this great information. Please let me know if you remember his son's name. Because I am doing some research on him as I have a strong doubt that great king Ram mentioned in Indian mythology was the same person Rim sin of Larsa.
@@anilsep27 his brother was also warad-sin aka Bharat Chandra nd he also ruled for 12 years. Nd Sin means moon aka Chandra. Now,have u got ur research answer.
@@anilsep27 wtf lmao
Excellent!!!Now I'm even more fascinated by this than I was after your last video....if that's possible.Have a couple of questions perhaps you could clear up for me.....regarding ethnic make up.What were the people of Mari?Are the Babylonians Amorite or Akkadian?Or both?And what were the people of Yarim-Lim's Syrian kingdom?I do intend on buying at least some of the books in your suggested reading but being rather poor right now it'll take me awhile......figure to start with A History of the Ancient Near East.Is that a good choice to start with to get info on people's ethnic background/make up?Thanks again for your awesome work.
Hi Stephen, thanks for stopping by I really appreciate it! To answer your questions:
Mari actually has a very long history that spans perhaps even a couple of thousand years before Hammurabi and Zimri-Lim’s day. In fact, most archaeologists would agree that it’s older than Babylon. The ethnicity of its original inhabitants isn’t known for sure, but they were likely a predominantly Semitic-speaking people (although early on, heavily influenced by Sumerian culture further to the south). Zimri-Lim’s family was of Amorite origin (also a Semitic-speaking people) so my guess would be that over a few generations, the populations of Mari and the surrounding area became mixed with these two elements. The same is true for Babylon; you had a mostly Akkadian-speaking population (though heavily-influenced by Sumerian culture and language due to its proximity to Sumer) and an Amorite ruling class. I’d argue that Babylon was even more diverse and cosmopolitan than Mari - a mix of mostly Akkadian, Amorite, Sumerian and I’m sure smaller quantities of other peoples, such as Kassites from the Zagros mountains and Hurrians from further north.
Yarim-Lim, who’s capital was today’s Aleppo, was also an Amorite ruler and I’m sure also ruled over a very diverse population, though he may have had more Canaanite and other Mediterranean peoples living within his kingdom, especially to the west.
As for books, I totally understand about having limited access to materials…I used to have the same issue when I was younger. However, if you live in relatively large town or city, a lot of these or similar books might be found in public or university libraries. I’d check those out before buying anything.
Anyway, hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions…thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
@@HistorywithCy Thanks tons for responding....and helping me get a clearer picture.....really do appreciate it.Ancient history fascinates the hell out of me.....tho most any history does.....but ancient Mesopotamian in particular of late.I tried to ask the above through instagram thinking that might be more appropriate but for some reason my password wouldn't work......ugg.......computers........perhaps clay tablets would be better.Thanks for the offer to answer any other questions......but you really don't want me to....you might get bombarded worse than Germany in WW2.I love to study and research things but if I get really stuck I might take you up on the offer.Just hard to know what books and such to get.My son had me buy a book for him on the Hittites years ago....it was good but a tough read .....it being authored by a archaeologist.....linear A .....linear B....this site......that site.....my head was swimming.I like your stuff because you pack a lot of "meat" into your content and yet understandable for a layman such as I.Great work....can't wait for more.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! If you're still interested, a good and relatively straightforward book on the Hittites you might enjoy is "Warriors of Anatolia: A Concise History of the Hittites" by Trevor Bryce. And please, any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!
@@HistorywithCy Kool!!! I will forever be interested....so any resource suggestion from you will be attained and devoured with relish.I will get this for sure.Since you insisted I not hesitate with questions....perhaps you may be able to direct me to a resource that might cover fishing in the rivers or even the sea's during the period.I know it's rather an oddball question but I'm so into this stuff I like to retreat and immerse myself in living back then so I design games for myself to play that include as many aspects of life then as possible.I can't seem to find anything that might tell me what volume ancient fishermen might be able catch.I've done the research on trade, different resources in the different regions etc.....but I can't for the life of me find anything on fishing.It's driving me nuts cause I know it's a fairly important aspect of food production.If you know of anything please let me know....doesn't have to be Mesopotamia specifically .......I figure it'd be pretty much the same anywhere....whether Egypt Greece or Italy....where ever.Thanks again for all your help. Sincerely deeply grateful SM.
Hi! Hmmm, that is a very specialized topic and so far, I haven't seen anything specifically about fishing... if I find something related to it, I'll let you know for sure. Thanks!
Bravo!
Thanks! This was actually one of my favorite episodes to create... love all the characters we meet during this time period. More to come, stay safe!
The Sukkalmah had clearly some serious Darth Sidious vibes as soon he set foot in Eshnunna and Hammurabi seem to have fallen into the dark side as soon he defeated Larsa.
Excellent and amazing video! I have one question for you. I know that Elam spoke a language isolate, but out if curiosity, are they Persian? Or just another Iranian tribe like the Medes and parthians.
Can you please do a video on the Assyrians from A-Z ? Thanks!
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it. To answer your first question: Yes, you're correct, Elamite is a language isolate and different than any of the Persian languages. Elam (ELAMTU) is actually a general term that the Sumerians and later Akkadian-speaking peoples used for the mountainous lands to the east of southwestern and southern Iran. This land consisted of many different kingdoms and principalities but they all shared a similar language and culture and unified often for common purposes. So no, they were not a tribe like the Medes or Persians and have a much older history. Here are some videos that might help:

Can you do hammurabi's religious aspects.
We studied the "Code" in L.E. academy.
He not only created a legal code system, he also created the concept of Civil Law Enforcement
Prior to this armies of the king were use to enforce order and keep the peace.
Just FYI the term " Cops" comes from Coppers which was a term applied to London's 1st civil law enforcement, structured much as police departments of today.
They were 1st called " The Bow Street Runners" by the locals .
They were later called "Coppers"
due to the copper buttons and badge on their uniforms.
the one person in history I looked up for .
What’s the name of music that starts around 18 minutes?

Question: does anyone know when human sacrifice was abandoned in Mesopotamia? It is often mentioned in histories of Ur and Uruk, but not (as far as I have seen) Babylon.
Haaa? Human sacrifice lol no we sacrifice animals not Humans
@@ashur3504 Look it up.
@@trondsi I'm assyrian 😐
You too look it up
@@ashur3504 I already have. Human sacrifice was practiced all over the world thousands of years ago. It was abandoned in Egypt around 3000 BC, and in Norther Europe around 1000 AD. I know for a fact that human sacrifice was happening in Mesopotamia around 2500 BC but when was it abandoned?
@@ashur3504 This guy is an Afrocentric that hates or is jealous of Mesopotamian history. I had an argument with him before. He does his best to discredit and slander ancient Mesopotamians. Funny thing is ancient Egyptians weren't even blacc.
Hi Cy ... Wouldn't you think somebody could buzz around in a helicopter or via satellite with LIDAR to find long lost Ekalatum?
Hi! Possible, yes... but then they'd have to dig it up to somehow confirm that it was indeed Ekalatum. Some thing with Agade, although it's also possible that it's under the Euphrates given that the river shifted so much over the centuries.
Just my thoughts...
@@HistorywithCy I love LIDAR as much as I love DNA cuz History! :)
Elam: fails to conquer Mesopotamia
Persia under Cyrus II: pathetic
Actually cyrus and Persians did conquer elam
Persians were not natives of elam they are estimated to have been come from caspian sea or Iran far north that is close to Afghanistan

Please can you do the next parts of that series you offered
Hi, thanks for stopping by! To be honest I want to but have delayed it indefinitely due to all of the anti-semitic and conspiracy-inspired hate comments I've received on that particular video. I don't even know why, I barely mentioned Judaism in it. I think I'll revisit the topic with one, long video later on this year.
Thanks for your interest in it, I appreciate it.
@@HistorywithCy perhaps you'd like to go live or private video
I know that there are also a lot of people that will be depending on that information u have for us
You know, I was thinking about this and am really happy that there are people like you legitimately interested in this stuff. I'm not too worried about the conspiracy and bigoted trolls, just didn't want to attract them to my channel, but that shouldn't take away knowledge from the rest of y'all. I'll look into completing the series soon... not right away but it's back on my to do list. What I might do though is to create one long episode encompassing their whole story, that way you won't have to keep waiting for additional parts.
Thanks for your genuine interest in such subjects, it means a lot.
Was there ever a battle between Hammurabi and Elam, after Hammurabi had become the emperor?
He literally conquered Elam.
Your empire was amazing. I have studied a small fraction of your history.
Your current politics is extremely complicated, and I certainly will not add my view. To be honest, I am simply not knowledgeable on the subject.
Although, I will make a passing comment on Saddam Hussein, based upon your politics since his death. I watched the video of his hanging, and I admit, I'm divided on my perspective of him.
One of the executioners asked him, "are you afraid to die"? He replied, I have been fighting against Jihadists my entire career...He said, no, I'm not afraid to die.
Previously, I determined that if a strong man didn't run his own country, then it would fall to militias and Jihadists. It appears to be the case.
I believe, you are right that Saddam most definitely needed to instill fear, as a means to sustain law and order.
However, it is very possible he went mad, in the same manner as Nebuchadnezzar II. And destined his own destruction.
As you know, Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful king in the world. He had a dream that was interpreted by Daniel (who was in prison at the time), a Hebrew exiled to Babylon when Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem and the Temple of God.
After hearing of his dream, the king eventually built a 90 cubic statue of himself, and demanded that the people bend down to worship it, upon the sound of certain musical instruments. It was his downfall. It's in the Bible. Please regard it as a book of history, because it is.
God will not allow man to assume HIS place. This happened to the last native Egyptian Pharaoh also, who claimed he made the Nile and was all powerful.
You are from an ancient people of the strongest empire on earth. I can't say if your country could ever be a Republic, such as my country, USA. It would be wonderful if it was, but I doubt it would ever happen.
Your government is too reliant on its oil. They don't seem to see past it. Also, I heard that different sects of the Iraqi people do not accept history prior to Islam. I am assuming this point of view is from Jihadists.
I can't wrap my head around it. The history of your country is like no other. You invented writing, mathematics, geometry, etc., and yet, the Iraqi people are denying their ancient history and achievements which began the entire civilization movement in the world!
I am a Christian. Can you even imagine how many of us would love the opportunity to see ancient Assyria, Akkadia and Babylon for ourselves?
Egypt claims to be the Cradle of Civilization, it is not true! Your country is and will always be.
It is my hope that Iraq finally receives a strong ruler, who will eliminate the militias and Jihadists once and for all. NEOM in Saudi Arabia is aiming to be the next hub of the region (Dubai is done). You have so must more to offer than Saudi Arabia.
You might want to google how many Christians there are in the world, then multiple that in dollars, euros, yen, etc., they would spend in your country to see all the places, events and things mentioned in the bible.
Not to mention, all the jobs that tourism would bring to the Iraqi people.
Just saying....
Ads are way too close together
