Phew. Glad to have this one finally finished. I'm finally off to Ireland next week for a much anticipated journey into the islands incredible history as well as insights into my own family history. Of course many videos will follow! Video wise there are so many ridiculously epic projects in the works. This one on Akkad is a mere taste of what is to come in terms of the Bronze Age world!

Yes. If only we could fix the current civilization in the region. :(
Normally a channel that doesn’t publish for a few months would be dead and forgotten.
Not this one. Outstanding work as always.
I always wait patiently.
💗
Forgotten yes, but not this one. So many poorly produced so called ``historical`` channels, this one stands out for its professionalism and accuracy. Always waiting for the next installment.
I definitely don't forget it. I've gone back and listened to the Bronze Age collapse video probably 10 times at least.
Fall of Civilizations too!
True historians never forget
"King of Akkad, Sumer & the Universe"
Truly a travesty that his intergalactic empire fell.
It's all about the rivers...rivers rivers. The Nile floods as well and king Namur / king scorpion is an early bronze age contemporary sumer is a bit older but it's arguable by how much. However the Nile is more stable due to it being fed by the Great lakes as apposed to just the rainfall from the Taurus mountains. Given the ages of history Egyptian farm land hasn't salted up don't know why . But yes it is rivers tigres and Euphrates or the blue and white Nile. I love sumer and Akkad this video is brilliant but let's thank the nameless person who decided to save the library at ninevah. Plus the person who cracked cuniform
@@chrisevans6201 rivers and insulating deserts.
Egyptian fields flood every year and that washes the salt out.
I got goosebumps watching this, always fascinated by Mesopotamian and Indus Valley civilisations as we still know very little about them!
I got goosebumps thinking this guy was the man who conquered land to become head of the first empire in mankind...that sounds pretty badass! I'm new to it but I'm hooked.
We actually have quite a lot of knowledge of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians and Assyrians. The archeology is significant. They wrote tons. We can read it.
The Indus Valley Civilization is more mysterious in. No one has decoded their writing.
HOW has this channel not reached a million subscribers yet?? It's INSANELY great!! Adore the scholarship and narration.
Happy New Year to us @altareggo! Share with other fans of history and we'll get those subs up where they belong.
It's educational. No rap. No dancing. No memes. Just information to learn.
well its 1million + now
Because the road too heaven is narrow 🙏
@@stinkfinga4918He's an amazing storyteller. Also great to gall asleep to. Good voice.
The fact that you have single-handedly researched recorded edited and produced this documentary is astounding! I happen to know the amount of work that's involved in something like that, usually it's a team of a handful or even tens of people.
Not singlehandedly. He mentions right before the Magellan advertisement that the Channel History with Cy helped him research this topic. I love his videos and think he does an amazing job but let’s give credit where due. Cy has an amazing channel too

I really appreciate these documentaries. I never had the money for college, so I feel like I’m actually still learning something when I watch them.
@Janitor Queen You obviously would have deserved a college education. I'm so glad that we can share these documentaries!
Believe me, these are more interesting, and more professionally done than many college-level courses.
i'm about to graduate and i didnt learn this. you're in the right place.
Me too!
College isn't even that bad. Get a job and take a class little by little you earn more and you get an education. Just don't take out loans or study dumb subjects like gender studies or English or music. I took engineering and I'm glad I did
That’s cause you are learning
Somehow the Bronze Age has become my favourite time period, although it is rather depressing to see that the injustices of our civilisation today were already inherent at the very beginning.
Thank you! From the son of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria! People of no history want to make this insignificant. These are the first (Civilizations) not only empires! Civilizations have to have a system, a language, writing, bookkeeping, and laws. The native Australians lived there since 75000 years ago but never developed a civilization. People comment that there were people on earth, well of course there was but Civilizations started in the Mesopotamia and even before the ancient Egyptians… I now and my kids carry American and Australian citizenships but my blood is for ever Mesopotamian, my skin is brown, uni eyebrow, big eyes and big nose! And I’m absolutely in love and so proud of it.
Hey Pete we really appreciate the amazing writing and hard work you put into these epic videos. Thank you for all of the great stuff to watch!
I am consistently stunned at the level of production that goes in to these videos and others on similar channels.
I would put this RUclips channel up on the same level as The World At War, Ken Burns Vietnam and other utterly fantastic documentaries.
@@suxcawks Those Ken Burns documentaries have a lot of clout but Pete does a great job. The subject matter, time periods and excellent narration are why I watch
Love you Pete. Your hard work in History is greatly appreciated, as we learn from it and can grow with the information. This epic is saved and I will watch it many times for the Art & Story you show & tell. So Grateful.
So say we all!!
What more can I say? Fantastic as always. The detail and thoroughness are laid out with eloquent narration. BRAVO
When I went to school I used to think history was boring. Years later I can't seem to align myself with the world around me, so I started to watch a lot of documentaries about the ancient world, contemplating what is was like to be a human back then. This documentary was really fascinating!
Great documentary on a distant, fascinating period. Land, wealth and power, the more time passes, the more things stay the same.
The decipherment of cuneiform (Sanskrit 'wedge form or shaped') is perhaps the greatest, albeit forgotten aspect of this history. The man of whom the honour is owed is George Smith, an assistant of Henry Rawlinson at the British Museum, and not even a scholar. This was the man that pieced together the account of the Flood, and realised 1 piece was missing among the some 26,000 fragments in the museum.
He was the man that went back to the site, climbed under the rubble to rummage the countless fragments of the library and found the missing fragment of Tablet 11.
The flood was complete!
George Smith died in Iraq aged 33 (from memory).
YEHOVAH. Thank for the. Teachers
How does one die from memory?
Thank you for this valuable information.
@@texasray5237 what wit you have.
@@texasray5237 I think this person meant they memorized that fact.
I was going to be semi-productive and maybe go to bed early, but then this was here.
We used to make disposable tin cans by the billions before aluminum became more economical. I wonder what the Akkadians would think about our wasteful use of tin?
'Tin' cans were made of steel. We did use a lot of stamped tin for decorative ceiling tiling.
You really blew me away with your narration of the Sumarians and Akkadeans. Fantastic to watch, thank you. A complete search of this marvellous people and their culture, knowledge and architecture.

2.300-2.193 BC: the akkadic reign with Sargon and his successors, Rimush, Manishtushu, Naram Sin and Shar Kalishami. Not too long lasting.
Another outstanding production! This is the sort of thing that should be promoted on RUclips, not the rubbish that always seems to get all the views. What you accomplish virtually singlehandedly is astounding, putting to shame projects with large crews and budgets. Take a long vacation, you've more than earned one for the massive effort this took.

These videos should be used in academia! I LOVE geology got good grades in the labs but in the seminars they ere like dry toast and nothing to drink! This would at least make it interesting!
Still, 7 million views is NOT peanuts....
These histories show a lesson that todays leaders have not yet learned. Greed arrogance and quest for greater power always bring an end to ones rule.
Nothing has been changed since then, no evidence of the evolution.
I have recently found out that my roots are in Mesopotamia and have been researching about it ever since. Thank you for putting so much effort into making this video💕
Are you Iraqi?
I've only just found your channel after a recommendation from an online friend... amazing insights, well made and very informative. Thank you for all your hard work. I shall be binge watching more of your work over the coming months! Really glad to have your channel. 😊
I just started studying archaeology at university and I hope to one day be the one to find Akkad. If not, I still want to be an Assyriologist.
Good luck with yr studies 👍

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Well done.
Keep in mind the "Standards of Science and Research" prohibits using a Theory as Fact. "Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists" ignore this, the Wisdom of past Scholars, whom also realized that Academics were responsible for establishing a habit of being "Conscious in Thought" + "Applying Higher Mind"
All negative thought energies are housed in the "Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind", ("fears, prejudices, Judgemental, jealousy, envy, insecurities, and the lack of self worth, self confidence, self esteem, etc.")
The Higher Mind aka Mature Mind is where all Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside.
Dig deep in the earlier books of History, for the "Mainstream Influence" took hold in the 1930's.
"Authentic Academics" adhere to the "Standards of Science and Research" which prohibits using a Theory as Fact.

Awesome job. To be honest I never would of sought this documentary out so I am SO happy to have stumbled upon this!!! This channel is so interesting and the videos are unbelievably well done. Keep it up!!! 👍 👍 ❤️
Outstanding job. I think this is by far the best history documentary I've ever encountered on a YT channel. Very enlightening
I was deployed to a base right next to thre ziggurat of Ur. I was lucky enough to be able to go on a rare tour of the area. There is a very unique feel to the place, you can look down these shoots that lead somewhere nobody has seen, it's amazing.
I've been waiting for Mesopotamia to be covered from this amazing channel! I'm so excited for this distraction from the world outside!
There are already some older videos about Mesopotamia on this channel; about Lugal-Zage-Si, the Neo-Sumerian Empire, Zimri Lim, Hammurabi & the first Babylonian Empire, even one about Sargon. Although these videos are much shorter than the newer ones.
Very well done! I can appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into researching, gathering and stitching the material. Kudos to you! Thank you for this wonderful piece of history.
As a professional Cameraman myself , I congratulate you on the production quality of your programmes. Content is well researched, music is in the background (bed) rather than in the foreground so we can hear every single bit of your narration.
My only advice certainly no criticism, would be to get a gimbal for the camera for the close ups in museums etc or use a DJI Ronin, RemovuK1 gimbal with 4k camera as it’s very difficult to hold any camera for a while without sticks. Most museums wouldn’t allow us to use sticks due to the H&S but one of those pocket gimbal cameras are around £200 or less I think it would be a great investment.
Some professional Broadcasters could learn from your example 😎
I have always found these civilizations to be more interesting and spectacular than ancient Egypt. Sadly most people know nothing of their history. Brilliant documentary World Class!
Oh our elites and royals know their history they just don't want you to know your history they don't want you to know that there's actually a creator they would prefer you to think that your ancestors are nobody that crawls out of a chemical soup even though that is never been possible and that's a fairy tale
This was amazing , sumer has always been a topic of study for me and has held my interest for years. Because of the people of sumer and the Akkadians , I have a deeper understanding of biblical text . From the legend of Gilgamesh to Ishtar a people rich in an ancient history predating eqypt. Brilliant work on this my friend , thx again .
I can't believe the amount of work this guy puts in. Bravissimo!
Thank you for this! I’m doing research about my ancestors;I found out it is believed that Akans from Ghana, West Africa are to have origins in the Middle East as the Akkadian people of Babylon. So I’m really grateful to have found this video!
Much appreciated to have this Akkadian/Sumerian-focused historical overview of the cradle of our modern civilization.
No It’s not they found water corrosion on the Sphinx dating it to be there 10000 years or even before that 😂 all this is Hollywood props like the moon landing no other ancient people talked or made art similar

This guy will never start doing shorts and all that bullshit! I feel like he’s not in it for the money he’s a real story teller (borderline eccentric) that has a passion for this stuff. I Love this guy!
The Sumerians were beautiful artisans! I’ve seen Queen Puabi’s artifacts at an exhibit in the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and they really stuck with me. Before you said Puabi’s name, I already felt the footage you were showing looked familiar. That doesn’t happen to me too often with historical societies (and I go to a lot of anthropological museums), really a testament to how strong of an impression seeing their crafts will leave on you!
I really recommend anyone who is able to, go visit the Penn Museum. The exhibit on Queen Puabi and her people is pretty extensive! The jewelry especially is so ornate and finely smithed, it’s amazing to think how long ago people were already incredibly skilled in making beautiful things.

It's really interesting to see that Ishtar was his patron goddess because in mythology Ishtar takes the Eanna temple and the city of Uruk from Anu signifying the change of power from a god of an older generation to a new generation goddess. Ishtar's myths definitely reflect Sargon's control of Sumer and his reign only cemented her worship throughout Mesopotamia as ''Queen of Heaven".
There is only 1 God.
He is Lord.
The same Lord who is Messiah is God and His Holy spirit.

Astonishingly mesmerizing and informative, as usual. Your content is always more interesting and engrossing than all of my university courses PUT TOGETHER!! I often watch some of the videos more than once because they are packed with so much detail that I want to make sure I absorb as much as possible. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!
This is a fabulous video. I could not stop watching it. You really made this interesting and clarified a lot about this important history of the beginnings of empires vs city states. I really appreciate your use of maps to show the locations of all of these places in relationship to each other and the big rivers. I LOVED seeing all of the relics of the time. Thank you again for this video.

This is the story of how one bully replaced another bully, calling themselves kings. Thank you for once again making this crystal clear.
The original Mesopotamia was black egypt. Every human originated from ancient Egypt millions of years ago. Egypt had advance tech millions years ago
These "bully" made each passing generation stronger and better equipped to survive in the environment.

Thanks for sharing. Many long hours of ancient History research just for us to enjoy. It was with heart felt gratitude that your work is highly appreciated from Canada.
This is why I’m grateful for RUclips. People can make their passions public and not worry about sponsorships or ratings. Since you can basically watch this whenever you can see how many people truly enjoy history. Guys like you and Cy really show through your videos how much you love history.
I'd agree but youtube has taken most ad revenue from creators since 2016 so without patreon they cannot survive financially anymore. But yes youtube used to be a great place for people to pursue their passion very true

Sumeria is mentioned in the bible as the place where the tower (zig ur at) was built by nim rud(sargon of akad)
All the people ( decendants of noah) were gathered at bab el ( gate of heaven) .The peoples were scattered by the El o him who con fused the tongues of men.They emigrated to distant locations and the land bridges were flooded by glacial melting. (In the days of PELAG was the earth divided.)
The first empire we know of,who knows how many empire's there have been in the past,good upload though!!
No one.
Others here may have more knowledge of this period of time, but I understood that Gilgamesh was an actual historical figure, a king of Uruk sometime during the period of 2800 - 2500 BC, and I think the oldest stories of him were written in Akkadian. It seems he would have been included in an entire history of the Akkadians, so I wondered why he wasn't included, or if I just missed it. There was so much great information here I could have missed it.
I think Gil was from the earlier Sumerian's, a King and is part of the original Flood legend
My understanding as well. He was a preflood king.

I wanna go back and climb the Ziggurat of Ur. Got a chance to see it but we were not allowed to climb it at the time.
Thanks for this fantastic labour of love. If I can throw in a tidbit : when filming through glass, such as in museums, use a polarising filter to avoid reflections.. Hope this helps.
The list of things we account as sumarian inventions is absolutely epic, we need a doc done on just what they birthed for us modern humans, maths, irrigation, farming, writing, reading, recorded music and cooking. Just all absolutely mind boggling, but the sumarians never got forgotten till after the asirians and babylonians, egypt may of been naighbours to akkad, but egypt was a baby at that point, sumar and akkad was already ancient to the Egyptians. Being on the last days of sumar looking to the beginning, would be longer than us looking back at the first pharos of Egypt.. Mad concept really...
Your content is still leaps and bounds above anything else on ancient civilisations and has fantastic rewatch abilities.
Recently found this channel and loving every minute. Exceptionally well done.
Another banger from our main man Pete! Thank you for all that you do brother! Keep up the great work.
Nice documentary as usual. One thing, please lower the volume of the intermittent music as it is a bit overwhelming
We are the people of Iraq and as my roots is from nassyria we still one of the most greatest people… as for the current corruption due to international political issues and the conflicts that are happening here caused by outsiders agendas ! one day we will overcome that and grow even more glorious again. Peace ❤️
This literally isbthe first time an ad... Has actualy been something i am grateful for having learned of...
Phew, I finally watched it. Astonishing story of ancient Mesopotamia, thanks a lot Pete!
Well done, as always 🙏🏾👍🙂
sir, I want to go to the UK in about 2 years to study history and your channel is a jewel I found recently that is inspiring me even more.. thank you for your hard work!
Really enjoying your content, especially as I can't afford pay tv or streaming sites. Currently distracting myself from physical pain, depression and anxiety by learning something new. Really appreciate it!
One of the very best! Thank you ❤
You really are an amazing historian. Thank you for putting so much work into this channel.
