@AYQ KBS When it comes to the prophet Muhammad we shia muslims say Salallahu 3alahy wa alahi wa salam (peace and blessings upon him and his progeny). When it comes to other prophets like Jesus or Abraham we say Alayhi alsalaam (peace be upon him). We also say that when it comes to the imams of the family of the prophet.

As an Iraqi Mandaean who was born near the ancient city of Ur, I want to tell you that I appreciate your excellent work. Thanks for mentioning us, where we unfortunately always we've been left out. A good fact about the Mandaeans is that we are the last of the Sumerians. Our language is close to Akkadian and Aramaic, our faith is the earlier Gnosticism belief, and the Mandaeans are considered the last living Gnostics.
A lot of what we consider modern civilization had its roots in Iraq. It's a tragedy for the world what the people have suffered recently. Nice work. Cheers from sunny Vienna, Austria, Scott

What people around the world don't know about Iraq that before the events that lead to the Iraq we sadly sea on some major news channels... Iraq was THE country for musiciand artists and intellectuals just as Egypt Lebanon and Syria in the last century during the golden age of art and music aka the tsrab period famous songers such as Sabah and fayrouze and other famous figures of music would perform int he Baghdad Opera House and to any arabian singer or musician it would be like preforming in the greatest hall in the world! I feel the beed to mention that Iraq also gave us the first tv channel in the middle east and the beautiful soulful voice of the student of Mohammad Al Qubanji I'm talking about Nazim Al Ghazali and the world famius master of oud and composer Nasseer Shamma and the most talented architect who ever lived Zaha Hadeed

Fan Fact: the city of Agrabah (From Aladdin) is based on Baghdad, Disney decided to not use the name Baghdad back then because of the Iraqi-American tensions. #1:24 Love from both Iraq and Turkey 🇮🇶🇹🇷
France and Irak had excellent relations in the 70ies and the 80ies. I often went to the Iraki Cultural Centre of Paris (in the prestigious area of Charles de Gaulle "square" with the Arc de Triomphe) to hear lectures, listen to music or see films. I attended in it some lessons of 'khatt 'arabiyy" with a great calligraph, late Ghani al -'Aani. Irak is the Arab country where arts like sculpture and painting are the richest. For instance in painting there is the painter Su'âd al-'Attâr, whose painting is inspired by the Mesopotamian history and natural landscapes...
Thank you Mark, I showed your video to work in a cultural dinner and everyone was amazed by the facts and the interesting summary you presented. Well done!
An appreciated effort in reciting the history and food. One big fact missed, Turkish is the third language in Iraq as Turkmen are the third minority after Arabs and Kurds. In general, a plausible work, thank you.
Gabro Ego Although I do believe the so-called Arameans were Arabs, I didn't claim in my comment they were. Now back to my questions, who was the first king of Tadmor? Wasn't Julia Domna an Arab?
Gabro Ego The vast majority of (if not all) historians acknowledge that she was born to an Arab family. Her sister's name was Maysa! Her father was an Arab high priest of Elagabal (Elah El Gabal), and they worshipped a black stone. Domna/Dimna means "black" in Arabic. In other words, her Arab ancestry is indisputable. P.S Es freut mich sehr, dass meine Fragen dir auf die Nerven gehen ;)
Gabro Deswegen glaube ich, dass die sogenannten "Aramäer" Araber waren. Bedeutet "Dimna" schwarz auf Aramäisch? Ist "Maysa'" ein aramäischer Name? Bedeutet "Gabal" Berg auch auf Aramäisch?
Just a small correction, Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA isn't only limited to Shia Islam but is a central character in Sunni Islam too as he is the 4th Khalifa. Plus, Baghdad has the final resting place of many saintly figures in Islam as well as Basra which has the legendary saint Sheikh Ahmad Kabir al Rifai among others. Aside from that, ayda haki khayye
Al-Hasan ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib, Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib peace be upon them are also important to sunni but there should be no divide so they are important to Islam
Hey Mark! I know this video was posted a long time ago, but I wanted to thank you. Seriously, this is the best video I’ve seen about Iraq on the internet! Your research was so thorough, and covered a wide range of topics. Thank you for giving such a great picture of Arab people and culture! Mille merci! شكراً جزيلاً!
Great video Mark! One thing I would have liked for you to mention was about the Jewish, Assyrian, Chaldean and Syriac demographic in Iraq. This demographic was a significant part of Iraq’s population up until recent times. Jews occupied Iraq since the fifth century BC up until around the 1950’s. Christians (Assyrians, Chaldean and Syrians) also we’re a significant part of Iraq but began to flee the country during the US invasion in 2003.
Chaldean and Syriac people are Assyrian. Please do not use these labels separately because they are only church labels. I am Chaldean Catholic but our ethnicity is Assyrian.
Sarah Asaad Syriacs are not “Just Aramaic”. We all come from Northern Mesopotamia and definitely not the Levant. Ancient Arameans came from the Levant and the Assyrian empire adopted the Aramaic language (mixing it with Akkadian words). Syriac is a linguistic and religious term. Syriac Orthodox Christians are Assyrians and Chaldeans are Assyrians from the Chaldean Catholic Church. Chaldean Catholics are not related to the Chaldeans of Babylon. These are all labels to differentiate between different churches. Syriac Orthodox Assyrians speak Western Assyrian dialect/Turoyo. We all call ourselves Suraye/Suryoye (Chaldean Catholics and Syriac Orthodox) which literally means Assyrian.
D O real Chaldeans died off a long time ago, while the Assyrians still exist you can call yourself Chaldean catholic but you can’t call yourself Chaldean, so don’t use that word by it’s self since they are different people.
Job well done 👍. You managed to get most of details and fit them in a short video. I will be first to buy tickets to Sinbad movie with you in the lead. Thank you from Baghdad 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶

The most amazing fact I learned from this video about iraq is the fact that most britains are direct descendants of iraqi and syrian farmers that immigrated 10,000 years ago
@@GMN1 You are just wrong. The problem is you and the person whose comment i replied to have no idea what you're talking about. You read articles online without understanding the context of the information. If you had cared to do any sort of research into this topic, you would know that the Sumerians weren't Semites. But thats just the problem, you get your information from stupid documentaries and articles instead of looking at the actual academic material. Semites first arrived in Mesopotamia at around 3000BC when Eastern Semites migrated to Mesopotamia and founded the Kish Civilization who later on became the Akkadians and even later, Babylonians and Assyrians. These groups had no relation to the Sumerians prior to this. Semetic people are part of the Afro-Asiatic peoples whose original heartland is thought to have been somewhere around Southern Egypt or Ethiopia. And modern iraqi arabs came even much later than that. You Arabs don't have any right to claim the prior civilizations of Mesopotamia and their contributions to humanity any more than anyone else. The only people who can make that claim would be Assyrians and Chaldeans of whom you have no relation to. Also, the claim that Said Ahdarf just made is complete BS. I can tell that he misread an article that was published a while back about the genetic connection between the early pre-indo-european population of western europe and the ancient anatolian populations. He and other ignorant Arabs think that because parts of Mesopotamia are currently in Turkey, that somehow means the pre-indo-european inhabitants of europe are somehow connected to them, forgetting that they are neither Anatolian or even have any remote connection to even the original Mesopotamians let alone Anatolia. There is just no point in making completely bogus claims to boost your nationalistic ego or whatever, saying things like this will just make you look stupid.
@@lets_wrapitup You literally just proved all of my points 😂. Seriously bro? "arabamerica.com" is that all you got? so much for your unbiased academic sources 🤦♂️ I have no idea why I am even arguing with you people. You have the intellectual capability of a rock. You can believe this BS all you want, but history won't change to make you feel better about yourself. I really don't care, If fabricating your own history makes you happy, then fine. Just don't expect other people to respect it.
Ya! "Gilgamesh Von Uruk" 😁 We can clearly see it by your unusual name 😅 Plain and clear 😉 👌 Not common name tho... 😅 (you seems to be a very criative person. Lol 😂)
@Ali Kareem Neamah I actually read that he wasn't so good, according to a history book I read when I was young, Gilgamesch used so many resources to unify Sumeria, that the weakened country was invaded by the Elamites.
@@gilgameschvonuruk4982 They do. It's not exclusive though. A lot of the fertile crescent populations today descend from the Assyrians as well. Today's Assyrians are the ones who kept their identity.
MLGdigimon Depends on what you mean by “mixed”, sure there is mixture but we’re relatively homogenous considering that we are Christians surrounded by Muslims and we do not intermarry it’s them. Our neighbours are more mixed than we are.
@@salihnacar7362 No, in Turkey It's called sarma that comes from the verb sarmak which means wrapping or rolling. And the Iraqi Dolma is so much more flavorable You can't just call it Turkish.
All that said.. And Trump says there's no Iraq.. I got goose bunps from this video Mark, although I am Jordanian and from Circassian roots, so I am not even an Arab..

I was in Haditha Dam area for the war-it was desolate-it’s fascinating how this dry land affected our human history so much!
The Levant and mesopotamia have very rich cultures :)
@Gabro Ego i am talking about the current culture, not ancient. the past is the past. love my habibis from georgia
Gabro Ego
Are you sure? Who was the king of Tadmor? Wasn't Julia Domna an Arab?
Gabro Ego
Although I do believe the so-called Arameans were Arabs, I didn't claim in my comment they were.
Now back to my questions, who was the first king of Tadmor? Wasn't Julia Domna an Arab?
Gabro Ego
The vast majority of (if not all) historians acknowledge that she was born to an Arab family. Her sister's name was Maysa! Her father was an Arab high priest of Elagabal (Elah El Gabal), and they worshipped a black stone. Domna/Dimna means "black" in Arabic.
In other words, her Arab ancestry is indisputable.
P.S Es freut mich sehr, dass meine Fragen dir auf die Nerven gehen ;)
Gabro
Deswegen glaube ich, dass die sogenannten "Aramäer" Araber waren.
Bedeutet "Dimna" schwarz auf Aramäisch? Ist "Maysa'" ein aramäischer Name? Bedeutet "Gabal" Berg auch auf Aramäisch?
I really loved how u said A3leyhum Salam for our Imams, your a amazing person 👏
Just a small correction, Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA isn't only limited to Shia Islam but is a central character in Sunni Islam too as he is the 4th Khalifa.
Plus, Baghdad has the final resting place of many saintly figures in Islam as well as Basra which has the legendary saint Sheikh Ahmad Kabir al Rifai among others.
Aside from that, ayda haki khayye
And Kabala (كربلاء المقدسة) contains the shrine of Imam Al-Hussain Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib, also an important character for Shia.
Al-Hasan ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib, Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib peace be upon them are also important to sunni but there should be no divide so they are important to Islam
@@mlgdigimon exactly they're important in Islam as a whole.
Where are you from ??? Chaudhary is Sanskrit - Hindi word
@Muhammad Alghiffary haram don't say that. There are some Shias that are not Muslims but the majority are.
Hey Mark!
I know this video was posted a long time ago, but I wanted to thank you. Seriously, this is the best video I’ve seen about Iraq on the internet! Your research was so thorough, and covered a wide range of topics.
Thank you for giving such a great picture of Arab people and culture!
Mille merci!
شكراً جزيلاً!
This was heart warming. I love learning more historical facts from these videos. love from Iraq 🇮🇶💕
Thanks from Iraq Mark, I love your videos
Great video Mark! One thing I would have liked for you to mention was about the Jewish, Assyrian, Chaldean and Syriac demographic in Iraq. This demographic was a significant part of Iraq’s population up until recent times. Jews occupied Iraq since the fifth century BC up until around the 1950’s. Christians (Assyrians, Chaldean and Syrians) also we’re a significant part of Iraq but began to flee the country during the US invasion in 2003.
Chaldean and Syriac people are Assyrian. Please do not use these labels separately because they are only church labels. I am Chaldean Catholic but our ethnicity is Assyrian.
Sarah Asaad Syriacs are not “Just Aramaic”. We all come from Northern Mesopotamia and definitely not the Levant. Ancient Arameans came from the Levant and the Assyrian empire adopted the Aramaic language (mixing it with Akkadian words). Syriac is a linguistic and religious term. Syriac Orthodox Christians are Assyrians and Chaldeans are Assyrians from the Chaldean Catholic Church. Chaldean Catholics are not related to the Chaldeans of Babylon. These are all labels to differentiate between different churches. Syriac Orthodox Assyrians speak Western Assyrian dialect/Turoyo. We all call ourselves Suraye/Suryoye (Chaldean Catholics and Syriac Orthodox) which literally means Assyrian.
D O no they are different idiot
MLGdigimon I know more about my people, so fuck of
D O real Chaldeans died off a long time ago, while the Assyrians still exist you can call yourself Chaldean catholic but you can’t call yourself Chaldean, so don’t use that word by it’s self since they are different people.
Job well done 👍. You managed to get most of details and fit them in a short video. I will be first to buy tickets to Sinbad movie with you in the lead. Thank you from Baghdad 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Thank you for making this video! Proud to be a Christian Iraqi!

Dear Mark Hachem ! You are a creative person and your channel is excellent for introducing people to Arab countries in a civilized way .
amazing to hear all of this narrated in a smooth way, was Sindabad a real person ? please make a video on him

The most amazing fact I learned from this video about iraq is the fact that most britains are direct descendants of iraqi and syrian farmers that immigrated 10,000 years ago

Sumerian is the ancient civilization of Iraq from the Semites
ua-cam.com/video/p8Zfu6eJP1o/v-deo.html
@@GMN1
You are just wrong. The problem is you and the person whose comment i replied to have no idea what you're talking about. You read articles online without understanding the context of the information. If you had cared to do any sort of research into this topic, you would know that the Sumerians weren't Semites. But thats just the problem, you get your information from stupid documentaries and articles instead of looking at the actual academic material.
Semites first arrived in Mesopotamia at around 3000BC when Eastern Semites migrated to Mesopotamia and founded the Kish Civilization who later on became the Akkadians and even later, Babylonians and Assyrians. These groups had no relation to the Sumerians prior to this. Semetic people are part of the Afro-Asiatic peoples whose original heartland is thought to have been somewhere around Southern Egypt or Ethiopia.
And modern iraqi arabs came even much later than that. You Arabs don't have any right to claim the prior civilizations of Mesopotamia and their contributions to humanity any more than anyone else. The only people who can make that claim would be Assyrians and Chaldeans of whom you have no relation to.
Also, the claim that Said Ahdarf just made is complete BS. I can tell that he misread an article that was published a while back about the genetic connection between the early pre-indo-european population of western europe and the ancient anatolian populations.
He and other ignorant Arabs think that because parts of Mesopotamia are currently in Turkey, that somehow means the pre-indo-european inhabitants of europe are somehow connected to them, forgetting that they are neither Anatolian or even have any remote connection to even the original Mesopotamians let alone Anatolia.
There is just no point in making completely bogus claims to boost your nationalistic ego or whatever, saying things like this will just make you look stupid.
@@M414-q6o lol all previous civilisations were still arab. You’re wrong lololol www.arabamerica.com/the-origin-of-the-phoenicians/

You literally just proved all of my points 😂. Seriously bro? "arabamerica.com" is that all you got? so much for your unbiased academic sources 🤦♂️
I have no idea why I am even arguing with you people. You have the intellectual capability of a rock. You can believe this BS all you want, but history won't change to make you feel better about yourself. I really don't care, If fabricating your own history makes you happy, then fine. Just don't expect other people to respect it.

"Gilgamesh Von Uruk" 😁
We can clearly see it by your unusual name 😅
Plain and clear 😉 👌
Not common name tho... 😅

@@mikidias now you know how Japanese people feel about weebs
@Ali Kareem Neamah
Wrong ❗👎
"Von" word is German, not Dutch, you dumbie!! 😒
Lol 😅
@Ali Kareem Neamah I actually read that he wasn't so good, according to a history book I read when I was young, Gilgamesch used so many resources to unify Sumeria, that the weakened country was invaded by the Elamites.
This is the coolest thing to weeb about
True man of culture
I'm loving these Arab Facts videos! You're doing a great job Mark!
Big love to you from Iraq. ❤
Please help🙏😭
Third population in Iraq is Turkmen which they live in kerkuk and Dyala and Mosul
Actually, their was one more empire after the Neo-Assyrians. It was the Neo-Babylonians. This was the empire that Cyrus conquered.
Some just call both eras Assyrian though.
Z J no they aren’t
Muhammad I never said that
@@yazeedme They weren't both Assyrian. They were both Akkadian!
@@jtadros16 Sorry, wrong person. Meant to reply to ZJ
I was just reading the book "they came to Baghdad" by agatha cristie. Much love to the beautiful country Iraq from Egypt, god be with you.
You forgot to add the language of Assyrian Neo-Aramaic which is still spoken by the native Assyrians of Northern Iraq (Assyria)
are they the decendant of the ancient assyrians, who created the assyrian empires?
Gilgamesch von Uruk Yes we are
Gilgamesch von Uruk a lot are mixed
@@gilgameschvonuruk4982 They do. It's not exclusive though. A lot of the fertile crescent populations today descend from the Assyrians as well. Today's Assyrians are the ones who kept their identity.
MLGdigimon Depends on what you mean by “mixed”, sure there is mixture but we’re relatively homogenous considering that we are Christians surrounded by Muslims and we do not intermarry it’s them. Our neighbours are more mixed than we are.
Thanks Hachem for this video. Proud to be babylonian

Great, please more about arab countries, I want to learn about them, maybe someday I could visit them all
bruh you forgot the most popular dish: Dolma
Yeah I am sad that he didn't mention it
Dolma is a Turkish dish the name comes from the Turkish word "dolmak / dolma " which means filling .As well as it"s called dolma in Turkey.
@@salihnacar7362 No, in Turkey It's called sarma that comes from the verb sarmak which means wrapping or rolling. And the Iraqi Dolma is so much more flavorable You can't just call it Turkish.
Because it's not only special in Iraq, many Arab countries have it
@@badeaeg True but none has perfected it like Iraqis. The Iraqi one is the most flavoursome and very delicious. The rest make it bland.
