- In this video we cover the Amorites, a people who are mentioned often in ancient Near Eastern sources but seldom discussed. This video is an introduction to who the Amorites are, where they came from and what their impact on the history of ancient Mesopotamia was. If you find the history of ancient Mesopotamia interesting, you'll want to watch this!

You deserve a lot more subscribers than you have - today I watch a bunch of your videos and whilst I know more of the history, you have put them together in an excellent and attention holding manner. Great music too. Well done.
When I wrote "whilst I know more of the history" I meant its a subject I have studied and have a lot into. I did not mean anything arsey - I realized after I commented and re read it, that it could be misinterpreted.
Thanks so much, comments like that make my day and I'm so glad people like you are interested in this period of history. Hopefully the presentation of the material will get better with time...thanks again for stopping by the channel, more to come soon!
haha no worries, I didn't think of it that way and I understood what you said in the way you clarified above. Thanks again for stopping by the channel!
He does now lol
(3000 BC). Cuneiform sources of the third millennium BC indicate that the Amorites were groups that penetrated from the Syrian desert to central Mesopotamia and western Syria.
I will use "who digs up truffles" as an insult to unsophisticated people from now on!

Lol that's funny... not sure if those unsophisticated people will know what you're talking about though. Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate. Stay safe!
I really enjoyed that study you did, love History and archaeology.
Thank you! Yeah, it's a bit of a passion of mine. Glad to know others out there are interested in this stuff as well!

(The Jews, not the Arabs, and the people of the Middle East, except for Iran, yes)
You ignorant racist, the Arabs are the original inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula and the Fertile Crescent, and from them all the Semitic peoples emerged, and for this reason when you want to decode an ancient “Semitic” inscription you always have to open Arabic dictionaries, while the Jews are the original inhabitants of the European ghettos.
The Amorites are not described as unsophisticated, rather as uncivilised. Just a little note, but I do love your work!
Sometimes you will reference a city or a place, though, with a map not showing its location, and I know that it may be hard to pinpoint any place that ancient, but I hope you will mark as many of such places in your future videos - that I look forward to enjoy!

Amorites were known to have lived in the Levant, including modern Lebanon and some parts of Syria as well as North Africa.
One group was genocided by Israel.
The other two groups survived, one remained in Lebanon while others were spreading to modern day Tunisia and Sicily. In Sicily they mixed with Greeks, later building Carthage, Sidon and other prosperous Mediterranean city states. The later Phoenicians gave us what became the Roman Alphabet. Seafaring Phoenicians and Greeks left their mark on the world.
If I recall correctly, the ammorites also worshipped Moloch... the god whose statue was also a sort of fire altar where they would place their live babies for sacrifices. This was why we see that the Living God commanded His people NOT to allow their children to "pass through the fire" in the Old Testament. God abhors the evils of these pagan religions for good reason.
Your idea of god is a mixture of Mesopotamian, Egyptian folklore and myth about kings! Yet somehow you found a way to virtue signal!! just wow the ignorance is strong with this one.
That’s Carthage and Jebusites
@@moonmagickisreal They are from the same people my friend
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب THEY wouldn’t have agreed with you at all.
@@moonmagickisreal But they worship Baal and they were living in Palestine, but King Solomon made them migrate to Mesopotamia to expel the kingdom of Elam and console the kingdom of Babylon and the kingdom of Ashwar
Reading some interesting anthropological papers on the ethnic mix of people in the area back then. Some suggest that it could have been the Amorites that lent their pale skin and light hair to the Jewish population. It is not popular to bring up actual facts about how different peoples mixed and what they looked like back then because of all the current racial issues that divide people but the genetic remnants can still be seen in places like Iran of the people who were there at the time.
Yup if you don’t say they were black or white then you don’t know anything lol it’s so bad people refuse to do the research
Fate of Sumerian border wall sounds similar to that of China and US walls
He CY you know what’s an amazing biblical fact ? god refers to Israel and I quote “ Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Girgashite “ wouldn’t this elude or Abraham who was Chaldean being an Amorite ? Unless there is more to the context than I can figure or assume.
Didn't Amorites somewhere descibed as people with blue eyes?
Yeah I've read that but I think it comes from monuments or ancient depictions of them in art as having blue eyes. Other than that I haven't read or heard anything else about their eye color. Thanks!
excellent video thank you, if you would allow me to disagree only on their origins, they existed in west of the river. and from their migrated a group to Palestine and were Kennan and a group went to Syria and were Aram, so the Amorites are the origins of both, exactly as you said there is no proof of Amorites in Kennan or Aram
Thanks so much for the feedback and the info, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I am constantly learning more about them and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me... thank you, and thanks for stopping by the channel!

You might find those interesting as well.

Also the Hyksos / Hekau-khasut in Egypt were most probably of Amorite descent, according to Aaron A. Burke.
True, but they are very close to the Arabs and the Carthaginians
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب Amorites were the descendants of *Canaan, the son of Ham,* like the Egyptians, *the Arabs* are the descendants of *Eber son of She'lah* same as *the Hebrews,* so no, they would not be anything like the Arabs, as a people, the only thing the Arabs and the Amorites had in common, is that they both were migratory peoples.
@@adonijahmorningstar493 So why are their names similar?
That would make sense since *both Amorites and Egyptians* came through *Ham* sons *Cush
@@adonijahmorningstar493 The question is how were the Canaanites, who were few in number, able to colonize Cyprus, North Africa, the islands of Sicily, Spain and Portugal, when their numbers were very few?
Funny just as Assyria fell they were all cozy in Babylon, something tells me after Babylon they migrated to Egypt, then perhaps Rome ending up in London. Very informative thanks

The Amorites are an ancient Semitic Syrian people, and they are said to be from the Arab Amalekites. They are the ancestors of the Arab Amalekites from Jedis, Tasm, and Jasim. The Amorites inhabited the Badia of Al-Sham, their capital and their original home. The Bishri Mountain was in the Syrian desert in Palmyra, Syria. They also existed in the Syrian mountains...The Amorites established kingdoms in Syria before the millennium The third AD, including the kingdoms of Mari in eastern Syria and the kingdom of Ebla in western Syria, and then the expansion of the Amorites throughout the Levant. Ruling dynasties in Babylon..also a dynasty of the Amorites called the Hyksos lived in southern Syria and then the Amorites expanded in the Sinai and were able to enter Egypt and the Hyksos occupied Egypt for two hundred years.
Indeed u said the truth BarakAllah akhih
Secular historians regularly associate the Amorites of the Bible with the people called the Amurru in early Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) cuneiform texts. The Amurru are represented as invading Mesopotamia early in the second millennium B.C.E. and as having had a kingdom in Babylonia for several centuries. Hammurabi, famed lawgiver of that period, is often referred to as of “Amorite” origin.
The evidence concerning the Amurru, however, does not appear to warrant the strong conclusions that are advanced as to their positive identification with the Biblical Amorites. Amurru in the ancient cuneiform texts basically meant “west” as referring to the region W of Mesopotamia. A. H. Sayce, in The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, says that the name Amurru is “a purely geographical indication of their immediate origins, from the perspective of Mesopotamia, and conveys no information about their ethnic composition or their real name.” (Edited by G. W. Bromiley, 1979, Vol. 1, p. 113)
While Mari, an ancient city on the Euphrates in northern Mesopotamia, is referred to by modern secular historians as a center of the expansion of the Amurru into Mesopotamia, the thousands of tablets recovered there were almost all in the Semitic Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) language, with some names of West Semitic origin. As noted, however, the Biblical Amorites were Hamitic, not Semitic, and while the adoption of a Semitic tongue by some branch of them is not an impossibility, it is equally possible that the early Amurru were simply “westerners” from among the Semitic peoples living to the W of Babylonia.
Professor John Bright in A History of Israel (1981, p. 49) says: “For some centuries [of the late third millennium and early second millennium B.C.E.] the people of northwestern Mesopotamia and northern Syria had been referred to in cuneiform texts as Amurru, i.e., ‘Westerners.’ This became, apparently, a general term applying to speakers of various Northwest-Semitic dialects found in the area including, in all probability, those strains from which later sprang both Hebrews and Arameans.”
Perhaps I can find clues here.
I'm seeking interactions between Amorite and Hittite peoples. Particularly decrees, edicts or depictions of unions between the two groups that were considered taboo to the point that a pregnancy would be determined most ghastly. The Hebrew Bible tale found in Yechezkel 16:1-3 OJB "Again the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying, Ben adam, cause Yerushalayim to know her to'avot (abominations), And say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem unto Yerushalayim: Thy origin and thy birth are from Eretz HaKena'ani; avicha was HaEmori (the Amorite) and your em Chittit (a Hittite)." The story goes on to say the child was born but tossed out into the open field, placenta intact, without even swaddling it, washing it or cutting the cord.
Any suggestions as to where to find the cause or reasoning for this deed of utter abandonment?
👍😬😔🤷♀️
1:50 they spoke a Semitic language, probably something close to Canaanite or earlier forms of Aramaic
Sumerian and Akkadian language documents described the Amorites; in fact, “Amorite” comes from the Akkadian word Amurrum, Sumerian word Martu meaning west (since they came from the west) 2,600 BC - 2,500 BC first mention of Amorites
3:00 ”the Martu, who know no grain nor house nor town… who digs up truffles, who does not bend his knee to cultivate the land, who eats raw meat…”
“the urban Sumerians looked down on them as a bunch of migrant hillbillies”
4:10 Sargon the Great ruled all of Mesopotamia from 2334 BC - 2379 BC
Are you able to clarify how they were nomads but they lived in cities such as lachish in Israel ? In Genesis , it says how after the Israelites conquered it from the Ammorites they changed the name .
They started out as nomads, but by the time of the events in the bible, would long since have conquered cities and/or settled down.
The biblical stories were written well into the Iron age, in the mid first millennium BCE. As Cy stated in the video, the Amorites were nomads in the early 2nd millennium BCE, and by the late bronze age, they were already established as city dwellers. The authors of the Hebrew biblical books would not have known that Amorites used to be nomads 1000s of years in the past.
Excerpted from: Abarim Publications' Biblical Dictionary
Although the Bible doesn't mention it, we may readily assume that the name Amorite comes from the name Amor (which of course has nothing to do with the Latin word amor, meaning love). In Hebrew the latter is identical to the verb אמר ('amar), meaning to speak or say:
אמר
The ubiquitous verb אמר ('amar) means to talk or say and may even mean to promise or command. Nouns אמר ('omer) and מאמר (ma'amar) mean speech, word, promise or command. Nouns אמרה ('imra) and אמרה ('emra) mean utterance or speech. The metaphorical noun אמיר ('amir) refers to the leafy and fruit bearing crown of a tree.
Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
"The first occupants of Syria appear to have been of Hamitic descent --Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, etc. After a while the first comers, who were still to a great extent nomads, received a Semitic infusion, while most Probably came to them from the southeast."
Syrians can trace their Biblical heritage back to a man named Aram. He was a descendant of Shem, Noah's son. Also known as Arameans, the plight of the Syrian people can be read about throughout both the Old and New Testament. Syria is one of the oldest Biblical lands that still exists in present day.
In the book of Genesis, we first hear mention of the people who would become Syrians. Their lineage is recorded here:
"The sons of Shem: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek." (Genesis 10:22-23)
It is also found in 1 Chronicles 1:17.
The people of Syria settled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, also known as Mesopotamia. (Genesis 24:10, 25:20) This included a land called Paddan Aram. (Genesis 28:5) Paddan Aram may sound familiar, as this is the homeland of Rebekah, the wife of Issac, Laban, her brother and his daughters Rachel, and Leah, the wives of Jacob.
Other key Biblical figures of Aramean descent include Boaz, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, and Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus.

What of the Moabites? In the Old Testament, Lot and his daughter's were said to be the Father/Mothers of the Amonites and Moabites after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Amonites were the last race of giants that were destroyed by General Joshua of the Israelites.
Ammonites and Amorites are different groups that you are confusing. The giant Amorite king Og that you're talking about is not an Ammonite. Another thing to consider is that the words only look similar in the defective Latin/Greek transliterations, because the original Semitic terms began with differnt consonants. Aleph for Amorite and 'Ayin for Ammonites.
@@potupchik Yes, thank you. I had forgotten about the Ammonites. There is a difference.
The Amorites lived all over the Levant and Mesopotamia they were a very multinational ethnic group.

The Amorites from the Syrian desert from Jabal al-Bishri
Love the museum pieces.
I'm an Ethiopia Amara, but when you talk about Amara history, I wonder why you don't talk about Ethiopia Amara together.
Might I suggest that the Amorites started out as nomads but over time became a loose collection of military families and bands often hired as mercenaries and who formed entire militia classes of certain cities? As kings they'd have been military kings. They were much like the Cossacks of Russia, nomadic in origin and identity but forming the militia class of city states.

@@jasonbourne9819 by testing their Y-DNA ancient remains in Palestine / Jordan (Ammon = city of Amman today) and elsewhere ... it appears that Ammorites (as well as other ancient Semites) did indeed carry ancestral Y-DNA of today's majority of Arabians
"analysing the Y-DNA, Ted Kendall sees J1 Amorites as the source of the Canaanites, who would be ancestral to the Arabs :
The Middle Bronze Age Canaanite Phoenician ERS179733 from Sidon Lebanon from 1650 BCE is J-FGC11.
That's right, overwhelmingly "Arab" J-FGC11 is Canaanite.
A link to a screenshot of the UCSC Genome Browser showing the derived read for FGC11 is on the condensed YFull tree below, next to the position of the sample. The YFull tMRCA is 2000 BCE, which is just right (yet again).
This means that the main Arab expansion starts with the nomadic Amorites, who used donkeys, not camels, at the 4.2 Kiloyear Event (2200 BCE).
The Amorites included the Bronze Age I1705 in J-Z2324* from 'Ain Ghazal (Amman) Jordan, c. 2050 BCE. Others were the Canaanite Egyptians of the 14th and 15th Dynasty starting around 1700 BCE who had later descendants among the Saite Period Egyptians such as the Abusir mummy JK2314 in J-Z2313, as well as the present day Copts of Egypt. These Canaanite descendants in Egypt also included the Delta Seth-worshipping (the Semitic Baal Hadad) ancestors of the 19th Dynasty Seti I and Rameses II.
The J-FGC11's then become part of the Middle Bronze Age Canaanites in J-Z1884 (J1-L858), and then move off into Arabia as J-S21237 with the domestication of the camel around the time of the Late Bronze Age Collapse c.1200 - c.1150 BCE."
@Keith Busch Ammorites were Semites in every shape or form
their language .. culture (nomads) clothing (wearing daggers / head-dress) and even their Y-DNA is similar to Today's Semites (Arabs)
any Semite who speak Arabic language is an Arab .. doesn't matter what his ancient ancestry is from
he could be from Saba / Himyar in Yemen .. or Canaan in Lebanon
or from Ismael PBUH (like tribe of Quraysh) or descendant of Ammorites (and their descendants like Hammurabi and other Babylonians)
we are all Arabs
that's our identity for that we speak Arabic language
if i speak Sabaic .. then i'd be Sabaean .. if i speak Babylonian i'd be Babylonian
but those languages are dead .. and Arabic remained as the most sophisticated Semitic language
and most sophisticated global language in its grammar and VAST vocabulary (largest in the world at 12 million words if i recall correctly) and its beauty and poetry

The intermingling of the different people would have essentially created new religion as they brought their own into one another's lives it would seem. This would have brought issues of its own. To marry into another religious background would mean compromising their own beliefs and traditions. Marriage to a Christian doesn't determine a long Christian marriage though because one person in that marriage can backslide which creates its own conflicts and feelings of betrayl because they married believing that was the common goal to further into God together. However the focus begins to shift and can cause the still believing to struggle within that situation and may even become resentful towards God himself. No matter how strong a person's faith initially is or seems to be, over time there can be a shift within the heart. The same thing can begin to happen within the marriage. This is why I didn't want a religious man.. but rather someone I enjoyed spending time with. I have seen the fruits of the marriage where they have been in that situation. However I myself cannot not believe in God. I wouldn't want to be with someone of a belief of a differing deity which only creates conflict that is not healthy. So I won't apologise for that.

Amorites from Syria
Amorites or AKA Amurru also occupied the entire Amur river/Black Dragon drainage system, the largest in Asia, and named it after themselves. From the Tarim Basin we have giant tartan-weaving Amorites right down the river to the Bay of Tartary and Amore Bay. It's the black Dragon clans. They always ruled and more recently they brought their Mongolians with them to colonise most of North America. They had by then 6 cities and more than 100 towns along the great salt lake alone. These are our redheaded giants the indians chopped up.

@@lvctgz709 . It is rubbish. .. thé ammorite. Lived in Yémen in first place before migration to thé rest of middle east.
The ammorite are thé rare semit group who occupéd all middle east . Not liké their other cousin liké phénicien and orhers. ...
I am speaking. Of descent of Ismaël ..his sons married with amortie and from them arab Ismailite came. Liké nabatéens and qidari
Thé Alphabet is other subjecte.
Hemdani Madjid first of all the amorite people were so scattered that some could have lived there and even if so it wasn’t their origin that originated from the Levant because that’s were the fits traces of the amorites could have been found and the amorites called them self people of the was regering to the Levant and ancient Mesopotamia
The Amorites were very barbaric. They worshipped an evil deity call Molec and would sacrifice young girls by cutting them in half alive or beheading them, then burning them in clay jars. If that’s not barbaric, I don’t know what is. 😠
They made the kingdom of Babylon and Ashwar, they are strong
No, strength is made by honor and the respect of others, not doing evil things to them.
@@Bobster986 is God also barbaric for sacrificing his son? God let his son be nailed to a cross and bleed to death.
Was that man in Judges barbaric too? He cut up his concubine and sent her limbs all over Israel. All this after that man offered her up to be raped to death.

Amuru kingdom is in the coast of the mediteranian near the city of tartous nowadays amrit...and the amorits means all the people of the west or syria for the Sumerian or akkadian people I mean they are not one grope.

Good content as always!
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words...more to come soon!
It is unfortunate that the net is full of contradiction when it comes to armor rights where we keep hearing that there are nomads but yet at the same time we say they came from the prosperous cities of Hama Ebla Alalakh Qatna Ugarit Emar etc..Sadly the old Sumerian propaganda continues to this day..
Even 4 years later, someone is enjoying this.
Did you know that I'm right so had a god named Dagon who they sacrificed their babies to true facts you got to look it up but here in America we are no different we always got to remember that
They made the kingdom of Babylon and Ashwar, sir. They are very powerful. God made them the rulers of the Middle East and the world.
very educational specially for those of us studing the bible
Thanks, glad you found this useful and thanks for watching!

Gomorrah of the bible
Main point of this video: despite his internet presence, Sargon of Akkad was defeated by the lovers of ites, the Amor-ites. Well I tried.
Thanks for stopping by! Lol... that's a good one. There are a few other Amorite jokes I've heard, some I think are in the comments.
For which 'ole Sargon accused them of being Amor-wrong for doing that.....(Ok, I think I better take my cornball self to bed now....'Night all) 😴
OK, no Sargon, but we got Boris!
Thanks
Sargon of Akkad or as he is colloquially known as Carl of Wikipedia was a masterful warrior, conquering all fights against feminist and race baiters alike. But thus the mighty Carl could not withstand the might of the Sweetie Squad tribe of Metokur, thus he has fallen only into legend.
Hi Cy! Are the Gutians who brought down the Akkadian empire Amorites, too?
Hi, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it! No, the Gutians are considered to have been a separate people who came from the east, specifically the Zagros mountains. The Amorites came from the west, probably from what is now northern Syria/Lebanon area. Good question though and thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it! Stay safe!
Thanks for the history.
Thank you!

Listened to this twice. You’re honestly amazing and your videos are a wealth of information. Could you please answer some questions for me:
1) are the Yamhads indo-Europeans? Semitic? We’re they a Cannanite tribe or too far north?
2) are the amorites Semitic people ? Are they considered to be Cannanite or too far west ?
PS: please do a video on ancient Yemen
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it. So to answer your questions:
1.) Yamhad was actually an Amorite kingdom so yes, their ruling house, at least the most famous one, was of Semitic origin.
2.) Amorites were a Semitic people whose origin is not exactly known but many believe that they came from the Jebel Bishri area. Some put it even further west than that.
I would love to do one on Yemen in the near future, just have to make sure that I have the proper sources. Thanks for the suggestion and any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Take care!
It seems that amorites were members of agricultural society of that time with whom pastoral people were in conflicts all the times
I believe they are The fallen of YHWH YAHUAH "The Annunaki" The watchers
Didn't Kenny Loggins make a song about these people?
🤔

The Amorites were not misunderstood. They were a cruel, evil, vicious and violent people. They lacked manners and empathy for themselves and others, heartless and cold. They practiced child sacrifice. They honored no agreements or treaties. They mercilessly slaughtered women and children and the old. The God of Abraham condemned them to annihilation, even their livestock. Even all the other pagans rejected them. Another example. The Mayans were once thought of as peaceful builders of cities and advanced astronomers. Their society's were bloody and violent governed by authoritarian aristocrats and priests with a lust for sacrificial murder of their own men, women, and children. Don't paint a pretty picture of evil peoples and societies. It diminishes your reputation. For example. Moses created cities of refuge to protect people from blood vendettas. If a person was accidentally responsible for someone's death they would go to a city of refuge where revenge killing could not be carried out. Moses was openly critical of this aspect of Israelite culture. My point is not to excuse or overlook the facts.
@Noah Pritchett The Old Testament does not shy away from condemning the evil acts and nature of numerous Israelites. Even some that are held in high regard were criticized for bad behavior and punished for those things. Holding people accountable is to be expected in society and it would dishonestly biased to criticize God for it. The pagan gods were petty and cruel and very often sadistically so and this was not lost on people who practiced those pagan religions. As a person who believes in the God of Abraham and Jesus I believe them to be perfect and just. If someone doesn't believe this that's their privilege. The Israelites were not the only people who were critical of cruel and evil society's. There are other ancient sources to back this up.
Good information.
