@@nantzstein3311 For once, slavery is always a big deal, no matter who enslaves whom and at what point in history. The other point is that the video talked about the expansion of the Persians. They didn´t just conquer Babylon, they didn´t enslave neither the Babylonians nor the Jews but rather decided to free them. I think that is an important thing to know when one talks about that exact conquest.
We have more information about the Greek, Egyptian and Roman civilizations that's why. Mesopotiamian history is important so it's taught, but since we lack information about the specifics of Mesopotamia compared to the other great civilizations, then it's only natural that it would be pushed to the fringes of notoriety (at least it is in the wider public sphere).
@@AlaaAdile cool but understand that Babylon wasn't inhabited by one people group like the Assyrians with their cities, the Babylonian and neo-Babylonian empires were controlled by two different people groups (amorites controlled the first Babylonian empire, and the Chaldeans the neo-Babylonian empire), with many migrations happening into the city since it's foundation. i think it is very hard to understand the ancestral history of Babylon, but i think most people inhabiting Iraq before the arabization of the area were a mixture of the inhabitants since the fall of the neo-Babylonian empire, it is also very hard to know how much the arabization of the area effected the ancestry of the already settled people since it was a pretty important center for muslims during the Islamic empire and could have seen more migrations from Persians to Arabs.

When I was in college I learned quite a bit about ancient Babylon, and the documents that archeologists have recovered were a real shock to me. They had most of the kinds of mercantile relationships and laws that we have today, including rental agreements for land, etc. Contracts regarding everything from land-transfers to financial loans, agreements for shared ownership of businesses, even special court-systems to adjudicate commercial and contractual disputes. It was stunning to me how much it sounded like modern commercial documents.
I am from Mesopotamia, but we lack the valuable resources you have in universities. Can you provide me with your sources or links related to our country?❤

@@istevenr it is true that Greeks took many elements from Assyrians but, seriously, the term "Greek" was coined by the Romans. And "Hellene" derives from a Greek mythological figure. Sorry.
@@maria-kastana When the Assyrian empire was at it's height...Rome was a mere spec in the map, nothing but a small town and a village with a few peasants running around. I highly doubt it.
@@istevenr When the Assyrian empire was at its peak, I dont think that the Greeks existed by the name "Greeks" or "Hellenes". The first known Greek civilisations existed much later AFTER the fall of Assyrians. These were in Kyklades and Krete- and by 15th century BC the Achaeans in Peloponnese, mentioned in Hettite texts as "Akhaiwasa" or something. There was no use of the term "Greek" from eastern civilisations. Not even the Greeks called themselves Greeks. Basically we are Hellenes.
@@maria-kastana It seems a bit of a stretch to call the Cycledes or Minoans Greek. Recalling from my study of the Indo-European migrations, Greek speakers first migrated to the Balkans in the 16th century BC. Those previous civilizations knew no Greek...

Mesopotamia was the precursor civilization of modern civilizations. They were also among the first civilizations to implement agriculture, fishing and livestock. His monumental works such as his palaces were a way to test his knowledge They studied the sky and had many scientific advances. They were certainly very advanced for their time.
@@cynthiamclaglen5687 The ancestors of sumerians came from Varna, after the flood in black sea. Also, it's interesting how no one knows what is the meaning of Unug. It means grandson.

Hi Luiza. I agree with your comment. Its such a pity that this truth is hidden away from our children. Academia tends to err towards Stone Age and then came the Egyptians just how wrong is that.

This is amazing! I can not believe how the Mesopotamians made almost everything! Fun fact: They created farms and dams. Edit: I made this post when I was 12, I'm now 15 and I've now come back more educated, and yes I'm aware that other inventors and civilizations existed prior to Mesopotamia.
It perished following the Turkic invasions of Mesopotamia. The Turkic ruler Timur the lame is responsible for the destruction of several ancient Mesopotamian cities like Ashur. The native peoples were still a large ethnic group until the 1900s, when the Turkic Ottoman Empire conducted a genocide against the people,killing almost 1.5 million Assyrians. Modern day Assyrians are a minority in Mesopotamia.
@@kazimahin790 It was not the Mongols but the Turkic peoples. Mesopotamia was largely Assyrian at the time of the Mongol invasions. The Mongol leader's wife who belonged to the Assyrian Church interceded on their behalf and thus the Assyrians were spared by the Mongols initially.
@@38-jishjilson89 we are talking about the year of BC. there was no Mesopotamia during 1200th century. For your kind information the Scythians, overthrew the Assyrian Empire and destroyed Nineveh in 612 BC. After the final victory at Carchemish in 605 BC the Medes and Babylonians ruled Assyria. Babylon and Media fell under Persian rule in the 6th century BC (Cyrus the Great). Then how did you bring turkic here? Last time Iraq (Real Mesopotamia) was totally demolished to the ground by the mongols.
@@kazimahin790 The Persian conquest only did away with the Assyrians political freedom. As a cultural entity Assyria survived on past both the Arab, Persian and the First part of Mongol rule. The Mongol ruler Hulagu Khan had a Christian wife who belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East. She interceded on behalf of the native population, who were predominantly Christian, sparing them. So the Mongols persecuted Muslims and Jews whereas Christians were relatively spared. Most of the destruction of Mesopotamian heritage happened with the Timurid invasions. The Timurid conquest is responsible for the destruction of cities like Ashur and also the decline in the Assyrian population in Iraq, which until that point were predominantly Assyrian.
And also we invented writing, calf, wine and astronomy, and we are the oldest country in the world and the oldest civilization in the world in Iraq, which is the Sumerian civilization, and Iraq occupied the world three times in the time of Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar and Dhu al-Qarnayn, and the descendants of the whole world return to Iraq, because America made it a place of war
With the passage of time there is historical evidence of empires trading “deities” and idols Mesopotamia is one of the oldest civilizations and their mythologies got adopted by later civilizations and got tweaked For example, in pre-Islamic Arabia there was the Mesopotamian deity Ishtar modified into a male god.

I wondered what the origin of a seven day week could be. In modern times, I think most people would say it's a tradition from the biblical genesis, but seven seemed an arbitrary number. The seven observable planets actually makes a lot of sense!
Seven was a sacred number for the ancients of the big civilizations. Also, they were big into astronomy to track the time and seasons. Knowledge was far more important than gold to ancients.

@Zubayr Islam Your information is wrong Babylon is the same city as Babylon today It is approximately 90 km south of Baghdad. There are palaces, the Ishtar Gate, the procession street where festivals are held, the Lion of Babylon, the Babylonian theater, the maze, and others. As for Baghdad, it is the capital of Iraq and has another civilization that differs from Babylon I wanted to correct your information Zahraa from Iraq 🤗🤗🤗💖
Also we were the first to invent the wheel and the camera and we built the first school and hospital and library of the house of wisdom we are the first to discover the science of alchemy by its ancient name and now known as chemistry and also the first and oldest army founded in Mesopotamia and not only these civilizations but there are more than six civilizations but the most famous is assyrian Akkadian, Babylonian, Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilization

This is my favorite topic during my high school days.. mesopotamia is also mentioned in bible as far as i remembered.. even the assyrians and babylons (famous story is about the tower of babylon the tallest building one w/c lead to why there are different languages)
Love this. Been wanting something more of an overview of this. More videos of places like this on the ancient Middle East, Russia, and Africa would be appreciated. A video on the story of discovery of how Amazonians made Terra Preta would be great, as many textbooks got it wrong about their practices for so long. And for balance, a video on how the Vietnamese make something similar out of rice hulls, which has a slightly better profile compared to wood charcoal, interestingly.
I just love how some of whom are from India, Iran and Germany are mis-guided. One saying India is older. One saying Persians are related to Mesopotamians. One saying Germans are descendants of Assyrians. Eveybody wants it or somehow feels insecure about it, and I don't know why...

When I was in college I learned quite a bit about ancient Babylon, and the documents that archeologists have recovered were a real shock to me. They had most of the kinds of mercantile relationships and laws that we have today, including rental agreements for land, etc. Contracts regarding everything from land-transfers to financial loans, agreements for shared ownership of businesses, even special court-systems to adjudicate commercial and contractual disputes. It was stunning to me how much it sounded like modern commercial documents.
The same humans- clothed in different clothing, using different technologies, but at the minimum, we are all the same as our ancient ancestors
Amazing indeed Micheal.
I am from Mesopotamia, but we lack the valuable resources you have in universities. Can you provide me with your sources or links related to our country?❤
Becuase modern day western Europe are these same ppl
@@dangerousdiscourse No. No they aren’t. Modern Euros are mostly the Nordic (called Barbarians by Rome) peoples who came south during Roman times. They didn’t even realize Romans had aqueducts and indoor toilets …. Until the 1950’s.
Finally, Mesopotamia without any mention of aliens.
Wait what? Bro which school did you go to?
The first civilization in the world is the civilization of Mesopotamia Iraq. They invented writing during cuneiform, and also the first to invent the wheel, which is the first means of transportation in the world, and those who invented the law through Hammurabi regulations, the first legal list in the world, the first to provide for the rights of women and children, and stipulates the tax system and laws stipulated by obelisk Hamorbi subsequently stipulated in all the heavenly books of the Noble Qur’an, the Bible

iraq≠ ancient mesopotamia
Mesopotamia:
Greek words; Mesos (middle) and Potamos (River). Literally, the land between the two rivers - Euphrates and Tigris.
Fun fact...it was the Assyrians that named those people in that region...called "Greeks"
@@istevenr it is true that Greeks took many elements from Assyrians but, seriously, the term "Greek" was coined by the Romans. And "Hellene" derives from a Greek mythological figure. Sorry.
@@maria-kastana When the Assyrian empire was at it's height...Rome was a mere spec in the map, nothing but a small town and a village with a few peasants running around. I highly doubt it.
@@istevenr When the Assyrian empire was at its peak, I dont think that the Greeks existed by the name "Greeks" or "Hellenes". The first known Greek civilisations existed much later AFTER the fall of Assyrians. These were in Kyklades and Krete- and by 15th century BC the Achaeans in Peloponnese, mentioned in Hettite texts as "Akhaiwasa" or something. There was no use of the term "Greek" from eastern civilisations. Not even the Greeks called themselves Greeks. Basically we are Hellenes.
@@maria-kastana It seems a bit of a stretch to call the Cycledes or Minoans Greek. Recalling from my study of the Indo-European migrations, Greek speakers first migrated to the Balkans in the 16th century BC. Those previous civilizations knew no Greek...
In american public school they never mention Mesopotamia is in Iraq. Maybe we shouldn't know that there is greatness outside of our borders.

They studied the sky and had many scientific advances.

And Unug is the grandson of the kingdom of Varna. In my country we still use that word for grandson. Btw, the first and the most accurate calendar is the bulgarian, "officially" dated by unesco around 6000 B.C

They also invented wheel by the way. Very useful thing
Its actually believed the wheel was invented long before writing. Its not known who invented the wheel, though its believed that the Proto-Indo-Europeans may have had contact with the culture that invented the wheel, whoever they were.
Overhaul Kai Chisaki every limbless log is a wheel. A log rolling across another log or down a hill or out from under someone is what “invented” the wheel.
Ancient Cemanahuac invented many things as well including the wheel . what European Anglos call "america"
@General G. Washington that's right
don't tell than to the afrocentrists they will claim mesopotamia as african

I agree with your comment. Its such a pity that this truth is hidden away from our children. Academia tends to err towards Stone Age and then came the Egyptians just how wrong is that.

So sad that Mesopotamia perished, I wanted to see the palaces and it's history!!!
It was perished during the time of mongol invasions but sadly people bringing religion into it.
It perished following the Turkic invasions of Mesopotamia. The Turkic ruler Timur the lame is responsible for the destruction of several ancient Mesopotamian cities like Ashur. The native peoples were still a large ethnic group until the 1900s, when the Turkic Ottoman Empire conducted a genocide against the people,killing almost 1.5 million Assyrians. Modern day Assyrians are a minority in Mesopotamia.
@@kazimahin790 It was not the Mongols but the Turkic peoples. Mesopotamia was largely Assyrian at the time of the Mongol invasions. The Mongol leader's wife who belonged to the Assyrian Church interceded on their behalf and thus the Assyrians were spared by the Mongols initially.
@@38-jishjilson89 we are talking about the year of BC. there was no Mesopotamia during 1200th century. For your kind information the Scythians, overthrew the Assyrian Empire and destroyed Nineveh in 612 BC. After the final victory at Carchemish in 605 BC the Medes and Babylonians ruled Assyria. Babylon and Media fell under Persian rule in the 6th century BC (Cyrus the Great).
Then how did you bring turkic here? Last time Iraq (Real Mesopotamia) was totally demolished to the ground by the mongols.
@@kazimahin790 The Persian conquest only did away with the Assyrians political freedom. As a cultural entity Assyria survived on past both the Arab, Persian and the First part of Mongol rule. The Mongol ruler Hulagu Khan had a Christian wife who belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East. She interceded on behalf of the native population, who were predominantly Christian, sparing them. So the Mongols persecuted Muslims and Jews whereas Christians were relatively spared. Most of the destruction of Mesopotamian heritage happened with the Timurid invasions. The Timurid conquest is responsible for the destruction of cities like Ashur and also the decline in the Assyrian population in Iraq, which until that point were predominantly Assyrian.
That's why so many wars over there, fighting for treasures.
Hi

Nah, governments don't care about historical artifacts. Oil is much more profitable.
And also we invented writing, calf, wine and astronomy, and we are the oldest country in the world and the oldest civilization in the world in Iraq, which is the Sumerian civilization, and Iraq occupied the world three times in the time of Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar and Dhu al-Qarnayn, and the descendants of the whole world return to Iraq, because America made it a place of war
It is amazing to see the some of the Ancient gods of Mesopotamia are similar to Hindu gods.
Ay bruh, this just got reccomended to me. I am not surprised that I'd find your comment.. What do you think about Indus and sanuli excavations?
maybe the Hindu gods from Mesopotamia
With the passage of time there is historical evidence of empires trading “deities” and idols
Mesopotamia is one of the oldest civilizations and their mythologies got adopted by later civilizations and got tweaked
For example, in pre-Islamic Arabia there was the Mesopotamian deity Ishtar modified into a male god.
@@themercifulguard3971 bro Read about indus valley civilization (about HINDUS)

I wondered what the origin of a seven day week could be. In modern times, I think most people would say it's a tradition from the biblical genesis, but seven seemed an arbitrary number. The seven observable planets actually makes a lot of sense!
for real
Mind blown
just a little nitpick from me: 5 observable planets, 1 satellite (moon), and 1 star (sun)
Seven was a sacred number for the ancients of the big civilizations. Also, they were big into astronomy to track the time and seasons. Knowledge was far more important than gold to ancients.

Babylon is the same city as Babylon today

As for Baghdad, it is the capital of Iraq and has another civilization that differs from Babylon

Assyria and Persia does not exist in western schools even though these 2 civilizations influenced greece and roman empires in many ways and eventualy the west world, two nations which alot of the so called “medieval European” things ,such as the knight you had in medieval Europe, the crowning of kings, the deepest parts of the cultural, majority of the military equipments of medieval Europe ,the administration system the schools and big part of the medieval science, alchemy, astronomy, engineering and art directly come from. Middle East is actually ancient Europe, its part of the western world and western world is part of the Middle East. it’s history of European civilizations. Those who study history surely know this fact.
Just as much as Europe influenced Middle East in science , technology and culture in the past 200 years, Middle East influenced Europe in the past 2000 years.
The west only cares about itself, as always. very biased view of the history
In fact allot, if not all of ancient Greek thoughts were simply adopted from Mesopotamia, Anatolia or the Iranian Plateau. Even their legends about Zeus and their gods are 1 to 1 copy from Summerian legends. See also Sumerian Deity Anu.
My school spoke quite extensively about all of this actually. It really just depends what school it is.
@@MessiMerdo i know i study all ancient Greek and ancient messopotamian and ancient persia, all adopted alot from messopotamia, i can say 80% of both cultures greek and persia ,greek adopted most from assyria and phenicia, persia adopted alot from babylon and elam ,elam itself adopted alot from sumeria.
@@Keyhan-c8c About the Elam part and adopting from Sumeria, I would be a little more cautious. Elam is roughly as old as Sumer and they were rather competitors to each other. Elam actually has most of it's cultural goods and ideas from Jiroft civilization also know to the Sumerians as Aratta.
Every thing came from middle east proud of that!
Everything came from Iraq mestopamia not Middle East

The first civilization in the world is the civilization of Mesopotamia Iraq. They invented writing during cuneiform, and also the first to invent the wheel, which is the first means of transportation in the world, and those who invented the law through Hammurabi regulations, the first legal list in the world, the first to provide for the rights of women and children, and stipulates the tax system and laws stipulated by obelisk Hamorbi subsequently stipulated in all the heavenly books of the Noble Qur’an, the Bible

Proud Mesopotamian here from chaldean Assyrian decent we r the original Iraqis
Most Iraqis are native but they speak arabic
I'm assyrian too but i know a friend who thinks he's from an Arab tribe, so we both took a DNA test and he was native more than me lol
What I love about history is it bring us back to the cradle of civilization. Why must we invade or in war with each other since we are the son and daughters of the same father and mother.
from iraq ❤❤🇮🇶 Also we were the first to invent the wheel and the camera and we built the first school and hospital and library of the house of wisdom we are the first to discover the science of alchemy by its ancient name and now known as chemistry and also the first and oldest army founded in Mesopotamia and not only these civilizations but there are more than six civilizations but the most famous is assyrian Akkadian, Babylonian, Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilization
Tragically the entire Region was subdued by the followers of Muhammad......I long for the freedom of the Persian people and the ouster of Islam from all of Mesopotamia. Then, and only then, will the greatness of its people be realized.
@@Patriot93933 thanks but are you kidding me ??

It is very interesting and rich civilization. We like to hear about this ancient history:)

You must talk more about Mesopotamia , you said it, the civilization started from there but most of people don’t know anything about it.
Can't believe this 4 minute video by nat geo taught me so much more about the mesomatian history that my school ever did in all these years.
Mesopotamia was the hub of intellects.Mankind started to think and know.
I'm from The oldest civilizations in the world Iraq 😊❤
Love Iraq
@@randalthor647 thx I love all the world
Yes, I remember seeing videos of your hospitals infested with flies.
@Ali bigern Oh, yes, it always come down to that doesn't it? Blame the rest of the world for all of your problems. While you're at it, why don't you also blame the Akkadians, the Hittites, the Medes, the Persians, the Babylonians, the Saracens and the Ottomans. Mesopotamia is just a giant parade ground for all the bad luck in recorded history.
@Ali bigern I'll accept *a little bit of* blame for things that happened in 2003. I won't take credit for things that happened before I was born, like thousands of years ago. It takes a pretty heavy load of low self-esteem to do that.
Now I'm eager to know more. Thank you NatGeo. ❤️
That is sooo awesome. I loved the fact that you were able to pack all that information into a few minutes.
I am a proud Assyrian and it‘s a shame that almost no one knows the history of Babylon
Make Mesopotamia Great Again ! 🌞
Indeed, we owe so much respect to the ancient Mesopotamians. Great video.
This iraq now
Love Ancient Civilizations. With the big ones, we can see how different theirs were from ours. Knowledge and learning were huge: art, architecture, writing, and science which they shared & spread. Ours, well, we chase gold / money and not knowledge.
They stole everything in my country iraq.. 💔
حبي العراق مليانه حروب هذني الاشياء ينباكن او يتفلشن مثل ما الدواعش سوو بموصل
@Ibrahim Alloush are you out of your mind? baghdad only fell after the mongols invaded in 1256 ad , only 800 years ago. Baghdad was the capital of the abbasid empire. lmfao. iraq only lost power in the iron age when persia qonquered babylon and from that up until a few centuries later was iraq irrelevent but it came back hard with the abbasids.
Iraq had alot of salt
Lots of salt -> lack of food -> collapse of sumeria
Sorry, Fam but this land will be given back to Yahuasha/Isa chosen the Black Hebrew Israelites. Those descendants who were sold into slavery by the Arabs and Indegiuous African to Europeans and then scattered to the corners continent.
The Quran will not tell you this but it's in the 1611 KJV with the Apocrypha and other missing books.

Islam did not destroy the Middle East
Politics destroyed the Middle East
Before the US-led war on Iraq
Iraq was a stable, beautiful, safe country
But after the war, everything changed
Politicians used religion to destroy countries
By the EUphrates river, Akaidans long ago conquered Sumer took control!
Brings me back to middle school!
We study about it in details in our textbooks here in India 🇮🇳 ❣️
I'm convinced Mesopotamia had a lot of answers about our world that have been lost to time.
This was my class report back in 2nd year high school. Thanks to our brilliant social studies teacher.

Would be really awesome if there is a video about Harappan civilization, a contemporary of Mesopotamian civilization. And how both had trade relations via sea and land.
Getting goosebumps...enchanting.
Almost every part of the modern world comes from Mesoptmia, science, the wheel, math, writing, agriculture and basically our modern society. Even though it doesn’t get enough public recognition, Mesopotamia will always have a special place in my heart, we do after all have to thank them for the modern world✊
Even ancient mesopotamia have been observing the space at their time. And now we're arguing about the existence of space and shape of earth 😥
I love you
It is not difficult for Iraq
this really helps me with my homework .. thank you♥️
Good show, thank you!
Thank you for this video for my country😊
...🇮🇶🇮🇶✌ thanks from mespotemia
*Mesopotamia, and it’s gone now
ThoseDonutGirls “Gone” It’s ruins still remain and it has made the biggest impact on humanity of any other ancient civilizations, it literally set the basis to the Egyptians and many other civilizations. Mesopotamia is the chosen land. Period.
@Sara Sara I want ancient Mesopotamia turn back. Not a Islamic Mesopotamia today. I'm sick and tired or Islam extremism. If you want to turn back the great culture and civilization rebuild your ziggurats and destroy your mosque.
