That very earliest interaction between the Sumerian city states - here represented only as a fleeting frame - is such a... magical era in human history. Each city is a country, as the whole perception of "country" "kingdom" "land" must be understood for its time and place, and I always imagined it would make for the most amazing computer game - both grand strategy, where you micromanage either of these main city-states and their various numerous minor satellites - or yet better, a role-play game, where you walk (no riding!) between these places, questing for either the priests and priestesses, kings or god-kings - or maybe even for the Sumerian gods themselves! Obviously, such an endevour taken into reality would be changed into something stupid and unrealistic, horseriding forced in, catapults, Roman-era armors etc, and I would probably hate it, and regret I ever wanted anything like it, so... maybe it's just as well that it does not exist. But, it's among my favorite historical periods.
Yeah it is like that because we don't know them enough, most of their names and histories are lost to time so we just know this period existed and some cities that are gonna get big later started here
Epsilon Jay ɛɈ they didn’t have an empire , they were savages fighting for money , just like Vikings . But the difference is that Sea people got mostly eliminated by Egyptians and Assyrians and lost in history , unlike Vikings who attacked the weakest kingdoms in their times .
Wow. This may be one of the most timely and impressive videos i've seen. Literally just this week I've been interested and highly confused on the many kingdoms vying for power before the persians came. This cleared a lot up, and I will most definitely using it for reference if I have more questions in the future. Thank you.
The interesting thing is that what made Persia a big empire, uniting all these small kingdoms into a big empire is the Idea that we now call "Iranshahr thinking" in the universities, the union of many peoples with different races, ethnic groups. , culture and different gods

@@uptheblues1875 In 2-3 arabic scriptures there is written about him also there is a very old book in an library in istanbul and about him you can find in ancient Indian books written by Kalidasa. Europeans tried to change the history because king VIKRAMADITYA defeated julius cesar.
@ King Vikramaditya certainly did exist, but he probably did not rule over all of that area. The leading theory is that “Vikramaditya” is an Arya-Iranic name for quite a few Hindu rulers from Mitanni/West Armenia (present day Lazi district), to Afghanistan, to West Asia, and Indonesia. These rulers didn’t rule a singular state that stretched from anatolia to Indonesia, normdid they exist in the same time period. They were just Hindu (or whatever relative of Hinduism existed in Anatolia at the time), and as such were given similiar names. This confused historical accounts causing the Vikramaditya myth.
Please. Arabs suffered just as much. The British colonial conquest of the Middle East was even bloodier than the Armenian and Assyrian genocides - supported by Germany and made possible by British imperialism anyway. Then of course you have the US bombing the living hell out of Muslim countries, with a death toll that easily exceeds the Armenian genocide after about two decades.
@@Yerfdog1 Please: Armenians did not had war for lots and araps did after like the 18 th century there started to be like crazy things. Thats also a reason why they are behind.
@ehsan_iq the armenian and assyrian genocides are happening even before an official "genocide" is done by the turks. Since the very first conquer of muhammad.
@ehsan_iq Yeah... Yes I am from an former Ottoman country, and there was no official genocide on us. But they killed about 10 million of us during their rule. That is with any Orthodox nation in former Ottoman Empire.

It's amazing how small tribes formed into empires. Then Conquered and had wars towards other empires. This just shows you that It's not just about the Roman Empire. There is more in depth of history as the spread of native people in towards empires. The Egyptian Empire was one of the most entertaining empire.

@@hashira9223 calling romans "ancient Italians" is like calling ancient semites "ancient jews" lol. The current Italians are a mixture of romans, lombards, normans and celts.
Wow beautiful video thanks for sharing! as a Syrian my self i already knew a lot about it, but always get informed more its such a huge heritage and culture to carry. (edit: ask me anything ill reply when i see it, stay decent)
i agree, as a Syrian id say we have very different traditions and mentality to the people from the Arabian peninsula or north Africa, i consider myself closer to the the Levant (east Mediterranean) region and culture, however i have to say many people who are uneducated or just a proud Muslims would say that they are proudly arab (nothing is wrong with that ofocurse) but as an educated person my self i know its simply not true.
well, from your name i guess you are kurd, thats cool, and i dont know why a Syrian arab would be fucked up, im sure there is Arabs, kurds, Palestinians, muslims christians or whatever, we all have fucked up people, clearly, just look at the middle east ;)
i dont hate Kurds too, but im Sure many many syrians hate kurds, because the Syrian government propaganda has always told us to hate kurds and Israelis, i am an educated person i dont believe that rubbish, and many syrians are also educated, but some are ignorance and they hate on everyone.
Martin Kian well , that depend on what you mean by the word Arabs . if you mean the ethnic Arabs who are the Semitic tribes who came from Arabia and settled Iraq and Syria , then Assyrians , Canaanites , Phoenicians , even Jews (the real ones ) are Arabs . and most of Syria and Iraq today are ethnic Arabs except Lebanese and Palestinians . they are a mixture between ethnic Arabs and crusaders .
This video is for some people who say Israel never existed. Wow and the Assyrians never gave up and great to see history of middle East,much more useful than my History class
Israel did exist, but its modern-day descendants are the Palestinians. Model-day Israelis are migrants from Europe, Morocco, and Yemen who are pretending to be native to the land.
most of the times you realize that almost always you are limited to very few sources, taking the romans and carthage as an example, we know carthage existed, we know they fought, but what do we know of carthage ? we have a few signs of their scripture left, but not even close to enough to restore the language, we only know pretty much what the romans told us about carthage. do we believe it though, do we believe that the people of carthage regularly sacrificed children to their gods ? we cannot assume it to be correct, we can neither assume it to be entirely wrong, because we have no sources left that can tell us if it was wrong or correct, only the romans who very well might have been lying considering they were sort of on hostile grounds if you know what i mean.
@@Apokalypse456 Romans & Carthage - both Phoenician. Allegedly Carthage lost to Rome, but only then was the Roman Empire formed. From there the conquests went on to Europe. It's the baal worshipping, child sacrificing Phoenicians behind it all the whole time. They are in control to this day. They just take on different masks.
@Burak and Caucasus called Urart mont...Nuh came from the ark to Urart (distorted to Arart), and the Chechens are the people of Noh, Nokhchi. And the current Ararat is Airidag-means a mountain with curvature, humps.
So literally Islamic Caliphate consumed all the two major powers after long infighting of locals in the fertile lands. History shows that Arabs were present in the area as wayfarer all the time. They did the caravan trades and during Akkadian they settled in little towns.
I've never seen a map of the ancient Middle East with such clear and definite boundaries before - I'm surprised that archaeological evidence has been able to give us so much knowledge. What sources were used?
If you're asking specifically about the borders, they aren't certain. The borders I showed were based on natural features, such as rivers and mountains.
I believe the darkest of the colours is the full territory, the middle colour is any vassals, and the lightest colour is territory of another country they occupy.
Great video. Amazingly, three of those civillizations are still around today - the arminians, the assyrians (sort of), and the judians. Love from Israel, keep up the great work!
@@barnosho1611 a. that unfortunately the modern Assyrians don't have a state of their own, but live in areas ruled by other ethnicities. b. that many had themselves adopted arab language and culture.
The descendants of the Judeans are modern-day Palestinians. Modern-day Israelis are migrant colonizers from Europe, Morocco and Yemen who have no ethnic connection to the land of Canaan (except for a minority of them).
Arabs is those people who live in the Wilderness(Aravah/Aravi) they were never one people before Islam but bunch of different tribes bound by lifestyle and culture,btw we know from the story of the Amorites in Syrian desert that invasion from the desert into fertile land was common,very common since the beginning and they were the greatest warriors and mercenaries,shame though that the oldest and greatest family Semitic who diverged the oldest lost it's diversity and now everyone is "Arab" they even Started to call Jews who lived in Middle East "Arabs" just because they know Arabic...

Nice video! one side note, however: Before the establishment of the unified Kingdom of Israel (5:11), there used to be the Kingdom of Israel (northern region of thereof) _and_ the Kingdom of Judah (southern region of thereof).

Each city is a country, as the whole perception of "country" "kingdom" "land" must be understood for its time and place, and I always imagined it would make for the most amazing computer game - both grand strategy, where you micromanage either of these main city-states and their various numerous minor satellites - or yet better, a role-play game, where you walk (no riding!) between these places, questing for either the priests and priestesses, kings or god-kings - or maybe even for the Sumerian gods themselves!
Obviously, such an endevour taken into reality would be changed into something stupid and unrealistic, horseriding forced in, catapults, Roman-era armors etc, and I would probably hate it, and regret I ever wanted anything like it, so... maybe it's just as well that it does not exist.
But, it's among my favorite historical periods.

Europeans tried to change the history because king VIKRAMADITYA defeated julius cesar.
@ King Vikramaditya certainly did exist, but he probably did not rule over all of that area.
The leading theory is that “Vikramaditya” is an Arya-Iranic name for quite a few Hindu rulers from Mitanni/West Armenia (present day Lazi district), to Afghanistan, to West Asia, and Indonesia. These rulers didn’t rule a singular state that stretched from anatolia to Indonesia, normdid they exist in the same time period. They were just Hindu (or whatever relative of Hinduism existed in Anatolia at the time), and as such were given similiar names. This confused historical accounts causing the Vikramaditya myth.

You are not equivalent to the Native Americans in the sense you are trying to claim. Most of the people living in America today do not have any Native American lineage. (pure ethnic cleansing occured in America).
On the other hand, most who identify as Arabs in the Levant and Mesopotomia regions are ethnically Assyrians, and originally from the region, they just shifted cultures.

do we believe it though, do we believe that the people of carthage regularly sacrificed children to their gods ?
we cannot assume it to be correct, we can neither assume it to be entirely wrong, because we have no sources left that can tell us if it was wrong or correct, only the romans who very well might have been lying considering they were sort of on hostile grounds if you know what i mean.

I just love Elam. It's been just there, looking at those weirdos.
@كل شيء نسبي ياجماعة !! 🤡
@S U They used to speak Akkadian and Elamite, and the descendants of the Elamites are the Arabs of Khuzestan, who are de facto from the customs, traditions, dialect and geography of Iraqi Arabs.
And Susa is just a wonderfully sounding name for a capital. Long live Elam.
According to wikipedia at least, Assyrians conquered Elam in 639 BCE

Where's Phoenicia? P.S. It would be cool if all the known battles were overlayed on these awesome maps of yours - would help tell more of the story... Great work, love your channel!
It was never realy a unified state, but rather a group of divided city states with minimal tribute based centalization to Tyre.
So sealand is older than we thought.....
Great and very precious video. Thank you for creating this.
I was thinking how tremendous effort over a long time period through the work of many, many people was needed, until enough wisdom about this area got collected, that was the base for this video.
And than how much time and effort the creator of the video paid to be able to collect and to put into this video the needed information to create this changing map.
I mean this video is at the end of a very, very long chain of efforts and gives much clarity about a long past period of human history ! Great work ! A real treasure.

It didn't show up.
There was no Kingdom of Palestine
@Giuliano1504 that can't be true.... according to every Muslim in the middle east palestine predates israel....
@@jimmoore7712 Maybe you shouldn't belive everything you hear on the Internet.
@Giuliano1504 the internet would never lie to me, it's the history book you have to watch out for, they are full of evil lies about the Muslim religion

Hi there 🇮🇷👋
Nice video! one side note, however:
Before the establishment of the unified Kingdom of Israel (5:11), there used to be the Kingdom of Israel (northern region of thereof) _and_ the Kingdom of Judah (southern region of thereof). Both Kingdoms unified under King David, though a few generations after they split back to the former two separate Kingdoms.
