Its not Middle East. It is called West Asia.
The PKK’s first program, issued in 1978, states, “Our people first attempted to reside on our land in the first millennium bce, when the Medes, progenitors of our nation, stepped onto the stage of history.” When Kurds try to legitimize their rights as a nation to live in Kurdistan, their arguments tend to rest on territorial settlement rather than consanguineous ancestry. But assumptions about continuous Kurdish settlement and descent from the Medes entered the collective understanding long ago.” p. 2 Van Bruinessen, Martin. Kurdish notables and the Ottoman state: Evolving Identities, Competing Loyalties, and Shifting Boundaries, p 25
“Though some Kurdish intellectuals claim that their people are descended from the Medes, there is no evidence to permit such a connection across the considerable gap in time between the political dominance of the Medes and the first attestation of the Kurds.” White, Paul J. “Observations on Kurdish Origins.” Vol 1. Journal of Arabic, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, 1993.
“This view is disputed by others, most notably by D. N. Mackenzie, who objects primarily on philological grounds, due to the uncertainty of historical data. In Mackenzie’s view, the Kurdish language (and, by implication, the Kurds themselves) is probably closer to Persian than to the language of the Medes” “Other areas around the north-west and western shore of the Caspian Sea and in Central Iran were not called Kurdish, although some of these dialects are related to Kermanjî. But over a wide area the name of Kurd embraced that of Mede and of other Aryan tribes. I would suggest that the name Mede was absorbed under the Kurds in a way reminiscent of developments in France, where the name of Frank superseded that of Gaul.”
“The identification of Kurds with Aryans and/or Medes must, admittedly, be viewed in the context of the process of nation-building, being mainly a reaction against Turkish nationalism’s denial of Kurds’ distinct nationhood. The linkage with the Medes is used to engage the official claim that Kurds are of Turkish origin. The myth of the Medes is mainly used as a tool to politically mobilize Kurds by the PKK.” Hennerbichler, Ferdinand. (2012). The Origin of Kurds. Advances in Anthropology. 02. 10.4236/aa.2012. 22008. p. 64
“David McDowall approves the prehistoric origin of the Kurds, he refuses to see Kurds as a unified entity until the last century, arguing that they existed as an identifiable group for possible more that 2000 years… it was only in the early years of the twentieth century that they acquired a sense of community as Kurds.”
“The view on the Median origin of the Kurds has been an important element of the Kurdish social and political discourse since their national awakening. The genetic affiliation between the Kurds and their language and the ancient Medians has always been regarded as an absolute and incontestable truth for most Kurdish authors (cf., e.g., Wahby 1964; Vanly 1988; and many others). In the academic scholarship, as far as I know, V. Minorsky was the only adept of this theory.” p. 21.
“Turning from the regions of mythology to the historian finds scarcely less uncertainty in it by the early inquirers on the racial con Abu-'l-Fida, bimself a Kurd, states that he h the Kurds were Arabs or Nabataeans, while Persian Arabs, from the similarity between the that of the ordinary nomad Arab; but he see with the Jill and the Dailami as a Persian traveller, records that he was told in Persia of Arab origin,2 in which view Ibn-ul-Athir are those of Abu-'l-Faraj, who idenbified the and of some Armenian writers, who seem to and the Medes” p. 493 Galip, Özlem Belçim.

This is amazing and has so much we never learned about
Europe: we have rich history 🤡
Middle East: hold my beer
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.

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.

@Extra Extra been studying history for a long time, that's the first time I've heard of that. I wouldn't mind some sources if u can find some.
@Extra Extra 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.

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.

Tony, in some records they say that the Ancient Armenians did not enter the Middle East until around 1500BC. Is that true?
@Edward Minaei
Armenians are indo europeans, they came to the middle east before the persian by a short time, persians came around 900bc, middle east was inhabited by assyrians, bablonians, arabs, sumerians.....
But Armenians are Indo-Europeans and Babylonians are Semites.
It’s sucks how some Armenians now think we are “Caucasusian” but we always have and will be middle eastern.
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

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.
That's probably what they would've been based on, at least de facto.
What do the three gradations mean?
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.
DinosaurFilms - Maps Spot on
sometimes you wonder how accurate our records are of these times long ago
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.
I mean, as a fan of mapping videos, it's very shaky in general. Ten fold when you try to depict times before the Bronze Age :)

and it was called the land of "Inki" king of sea 🌊
Enki was a God too
I liked watching Israel repeatedly retaking its territory it’s also fun to think they continued to do so with the Greeks and the Romans 🇮🇱
😂😂😂😂
@teomulard6990 Exact same people but yes without the temple
Excellent and very brief overview of early Middle Eastern history. Very worthwhile and well worth watching a plurality of times.
Interesting. History of the middle east prior to the establishment of the Persian Empire is quite confusing. Thanks for the video. Pretty educational
When will you do a modern version of this that leads up to the present day?
What a power iraq have ... 💜
4 empire (sumerian.Assyrian. babylonian.Akkadin) and many great king... 💜
Mesopotamia the best civilization in history...🙏💜
The saddest part is Iraqis speaks Arabic now and they lost their old identity
@@assyrianmf so what language they must speak now instead of arabic?
@@khikhikhiland1099 Aramic, the language that unite Kurd with assyrians and Chaldeans
@@assyrianmf Hyper Nationalism brings nothing but chaos perfect example of nowadays Middle East ...
@@TERRORIST.SAIKAT because they are loyal to fake national ideas , not their true one
Ollie, you're doing awesome work! Keep going, I love your films :)
Can you do the History of Iberia?
I like that
There may be a video out there that does just that.
Yes make video about both Iberia will be interesting
After 1492 there will be only french occupation
dont you mean during the 1800's? after 1492 spain started beating the french hard on italy and aragon recovered the rosellon as well as conquering navarra
Assyrians really be learning from their mistakes
Thank you!
I wrote in Armenian
This is perfect for my History class
And Bible study
King George III Retake the Thirteen Colonies!
I have a feeling you would use non of your knowledge during your reign.
Good video.
Great work. But it would be more informative to use a physical map as a background, so that it would be clear how natural features had affected migrations an conquests... And they certainly did.
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.
It would have been awesome if you paused the timeline (and music) during the Bronze Age Collapse and have some animation where the land literally fractures to signify how important that event is.
Yes, the 4:40 mark is where the great collapse of nearly all civilizations happened. Egypt barely survived and was never as strong as before. This is when the Tribes came from Egypt and invaded via Sinai desert.
Name of the app how are you able to change the timeline
That was awesome, what happens after this till now
Babylon (As.). If you'll add one more "s", you'll understand the true relations between Assyria and Babylonia.
Yes, true because they were basiclly the same people and Spoke the same language.
Alright.
MrRussianMapper
all these civilisations forms the greater Syria according to the SSNP
MrRussianMapper Russia is like a hot pussy bitch
Omar Nasir 😂😂😂😂 yes , I wish it happen again
Awesome video as usual. Can you do one about West Africa? I could help you out with that too if you'd like. That would be super awesome.
Sorry, but I probably won't do that, because I've already done Africa as a whole: ruclips.net/video/NzKejJIwieE/видео.html
I hope you understand :(
yep
Ollie Bye I know you did but Africa is a huge continent. So you weren't able to really fully dissect some regions. You've done videos like "history of the British Islands" things like that. I just think doing videos for particular parts of Africa will help erase the negative images of Africa lacking a history. People tend to club the second largest and most culturally diverse continent into one giant mass rather than exploring the insanely large amount of history and diversity there.
From Nothing Yes, that's a good point. Well I'll let you know if I decide to go ahead with it.
Ollie Bye Thank you. I love your videos!
Great job Ollie Bye.
I thought the Kassites were in the Zagros and not east of Elam?
Excellent job !
What about the semites 30k BC in middle east ? Is this relevant ?
