The Biggest Cemetery in the World and Entering Militia Controlled Samarra - Iraq Part V! 🇮🇶
In episode V of the Iraq series we finish exploring Najaf with a top view of the biggest cemetery in the world, Wadi Al-Salam, or Peace Valley. We head back to Baghdad for some chilling and evening antics on the town in the bustling Al-Mutanabbi Street, full of controversial memorabilia!
The next morning, after some market exploring and new friend making, the big journey north to old ISIS controlled territory begins, via the spiral minaret of Malwiya Mosque in militia-controlled Samarra and Saddam Hussein's home city of Tikrit.. This was my first time taking shared taxis and I had to take 3 separate taxis in the end, which I was not prepared for, but it was quite the journey!

Babylon and Saddam the CHAD - It’s Iraq Part IV! 🇮🇶

Our journey through Mesopotamia leads us to the ruined Arch of Ctesiphon / Taq Kisra, an ancient 3rd century palace from the Sassanid Empire, followed by Babylon (no explanation needed!) including Saddam’s Palace which he built to overlook the sight, finishing the day in the holy Islamic city of Najaf. ​⁠The absolute legend tour guide and amigo who took me around - @MK_Tours

We continue to the sites north of Basra, heading to the ancient Sumerian City of Ur, believed to be one of the first established cities in the world, followed by heading to the famous Iraqi Marshlands. After these adventures we board the Basra - Baghdad night train, one of the few train lines still operating in the country!

The Romans were never in Basra per se, in fact the city wasn't even established until 636 CE, so we will get to the Roman bits further north in Provincia Mesopotamia :) First impressions of Iraq were amazing, and my nerves about the securi...

    During my visit to Bombay, India, in 2008, I bought many coins dating back to the era of Queen Victoria. The market was much bigger than the one you visited, but the downside was the presence of too many street hustlers and scammers. In contrast, the market you visited had a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Good job on covering a side of the story that many overlook and state-paid media outlets intentionally ignore.

I'm a big fan of history, historical monuments, and holly places. The Vatical, Najaf, and Karbala are all on my wish list.

      @ProudMesopotamianGirl 7 месяцев назад

      What are you even talking about? Lol! By your logic, Iran's land has been part of Iraq's land many times throughout history, like during the Babylonian Empire, Assyrian Empire, and Abbasid Caliphate. It's pretty ignorant to ignore that the oldest and greatest civilizations started in what is now Iraq, not Iran. The oldest civilization was the Sumerian civilization, which started in the South of Iraq. Also, Iranians aren't "pure" Persians, just like Iraqi Arabs aren't "pure" Arabs. Iranians are a mix of Persians with Central and South Asians (like Afghani, Pakistani, etc) while Iraqis have a diverse heritage that includes Mesopotamians like Assyrians, along with Persian, Jewish, Turkish, Peninsular Arab, and North African (Egyptian) DNA. "Arab" is a linguistic and cultural group, not a race. Most non-Peninsular Arabic speakers have little Peninsular Arab DNA. If you check DNA tests, you'll find that most Iraqis have 0-30% Peninsular Arab DNA. For example, my DNA test showed 66.3% Assyrian, 17.1% Iraqi Jew, 10.2% Peninsular Arab, and 6.4% Egyptian, yet I'm a native Arabic speaker from Iraq. People need to educate themselves. It's crazy how folks oversimplify complex historical facts just to be racist. A lot of our current practices, dishes, beliefs, words, and lifestyles go back thousands of years in Mesopotamia. So, please don't be shallow. You still have time to delete this embarrassing, biased comment.
