8. The Sumerians - Fall of the First Cities 

If you are willing to look for it, real history and science is out there.

@@JanitaShowaars science and cats. A woman of culture.👨🏿‍💻

I started watching with a bit of a cringe, then.... 'wait, no ancient aliens? I mean, an actual, real, serious documentary about Sumer? Cool.' :D

Yes ...I enjoyed this tremendously But I do not dicount the sumerian Record of enki and enlil In the epic of gilggamesh or Niasudura and his construction Of an ark that weathered the great flood. In these writings....of which they are sadly fragmented with sections yet to be discovered.....we lean of The ark....the flood....the creation The garden of Eden. ..and the gods That were physical and breathed life into adamu. The sumerian Record cannot be Used only for the pieces that fit ones own doxy.....but rather if one Or a hundred pieces translated are Acceptable mainstream...then... It follows that the sumerian Record must be looked at as a whole without cherry picking . If that were done.....our view of accepted history becomes questionable....and tremendously Exciting for the whole of mankind.

You made me laugh so hard hahahahh

My pleasure. I have visited Iraq a few times and it is a beautiful country.

Yes . Iraq may prove to be the true birthplace of Civilization..? Many people would love to visit when the security situation is calm . 👍 🇬🇧 !

​@@kevinkammueller7553Keep ignorant nonsense to yourself

When we attacked Iraq, I believe that there were no plans to protect as you say, some of the most ancient -t and important items in Babylon... Back to Nebecchedezer..

As a Greek citizen, also descendant of a great ancient civilization i can't stop admiring Irak and the great civilizations that grew in this beautiful area. Do not feel sad , I have a great opinion of you and other people who study and do their research have too. I love Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians. If there was a time machine that would be my first destination. Love these lands as Great Alexander did love them also

Hang in there big homie. I get you. One step one breath, one day at a time. You will get past this.

“The Earth Chronicles” by Zecharia Stitchin. These books are the life’s work of archeologist & anthropologist Zecharia Stitchin contain archeological facts of the truth behind Sumerian civilization, the beginning of humanity, the extinction of the dinosaurs, the “great flood”, the “Garden of Eden”, Mt. Sinai’s location & its importance & what really drive the people out & “melted the flesh” so quickly. For everyone interested in not just ancient history but the future of humanity & the trajectory of our technological revolution, “The Earth Chronicles” are a must read. We are in the Dawn of The Zodiacal age of Aquarius & it’s now Enki’s time to rule. The latest congressional hearing of the secrets of an advanced technologically superior civilization are just the beginning. Rejoice, for the cruel monotheistic Rulership of Enki’s traumatized son, Marduk (yes, the king took his name) has ended! Now is the time of the Rulership of our true literal co-creator. That is Enki & Ninharsag, siblings, lovers & co-creators of humans. But it was Enki, by directly breeding with his creations that he empowered with the ability to procreate & attain higher learning. It was young, naive, Anunaki that hastily & greedily using nuclear weapons that were never intended to be used as weapons to destroy Sumerian Civilization. There is so much in these books. There is also the list book of Enki, which he has not let humanity find yet. But I see the signs of Enki coming & I can only hope that in my lifetime he will reveal his book & reveal himself to rule us as the great father, engineer, architect, intellectual & revolutionary with unconditional love for humanity.

Sumerians weren't even arab or semitic their language is closer to Cushitic languages like Somali and north African Berber

@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 They came from east Arabia not Africa.

@@alissa6 dont you know that the Natufian culture (direct ancestors of all afroasiatic speaking people) came originally from the iberomaurasian culture in north africa ? They then moved into the Levant region, invented farming, and around 12000 years ago they moved back into africa, settling in egypt and sudan which became the ancient egyptians and Cushites like Somalis and Beja Those Natufians that moved from the Levant into the middle east, like Iraq, became the Sumerians and Akkadians..but academic scholars all agree that the Sumerians did not speak a semitic language ..so they were not semitic ...they were from another branch of the afroasiatic.language family which also includes berber Cushitic etc Others have suggested that the Sumerians were a North African people who migrated from the Green Sahara into the Middle East and were responsible for the spread of farming in the Middle East.[21] Although not specifically discussing Sumerians, Lazaridis et al. 2016 have suggested a partial North African origin for some pre-Semitic cultures of the Middle East, particularly Natufians, after testing the genomes of Natufian and Pre-Pottery Neolithic culture-bearers.[22

@@alissa6 also Sumerians did not come from east arabia, they came from the Natufians in the Levant region who would become the ancestors of all afroasiatic speaking people from Semitic groups to Berber, ancient egyptian, Cushitic groups like Somalis, Canaanites etc

Rama Alshoufani Well Said Rama!!! I have been obsessed with The Sumerians ever since I read the book “The Sumerians” by Samuel Noah Kramer - this was such a thoughtful and well dramatized documentary that so eloquently featured the Laments and Epic of Gilgamesh and other tablet readings like I have never heard or seen before!!! May the sovereign nation of Iraq and all its people embrace their stupendous ancient history, and rebuild and learn to live with each other without the fighting and wars that have caused so much death and suffering for thousands of years. That would TRULY BE THE EVOLUTION OF MANKIND - to leave the slaughter and ravages of war behind!!!

This documentary says sumerians where more advanced that Egyptian but the attempt at a pyramid looks like a failed attempt at copying.

This is fascinating! Wow.

@@user-ht5ps4fu6fThe Sumerians came like two thousand years before the Egyptians so technically the Egyptians are the ones copying them. Also it’s not a pyramid, it’s a ziggurat. They’re different

I'm from Sweden and I am as mesmerized as you guys. Back in 1966-68 I lived in Beit Hanina, Jordan, and went to school in Ramallah. We traveled a lot and saw many fantastic things in your part of the world! Thank you!

You do not understand. I came to realise via study, that this city was built an incredibly long time ago... Two possibilities reign upon my mind to who built this civilisation... The story of the annunarky exposes the most clues to date. The other is of a technological advanced society who rose to this state via great age: Indeed the people would have been of African decent. What we have today are the decendants of the tribes and cultures who invaded the zone of the original tenants, conquered the original tenants and enslaved them :The enslaved where the black people. The enslavers were the Persians. This antiquity is not the property of Persian antiquity. This is the ancient antiquity of black antiquity of old. Every biblical story recorded/presented, is that of black people of ancient periods. The persians have stolen this history and adopted black antiquity as their very own, as the caucasians have also deceived.

It does seem like the lands within and around today's Iraq were blessed with favourable weather, stable geology and adequate water for civilisations to take root and grow. The problem seems to be that the soils are thin and unable to sustain the civilisation for long. Perhaps the curse is that the growth of civilisation is faster than the capacity of the land, however other lands prospered from the ideas that took root here.

Babylon has been cursed. As soon as Saddam tried to rebuild it, Iraq was destroyed. Fear the LORD.

@@iconiclust it was actually prior to Saddam entering sadly. I was just speaking to my grandma and she was telling me about her young days how free and advanced the country and how tourists from around the world would visit. How the work life balance was great. The list goes on but she did mention that after the slaughter of the king and his family, things quickly started going down hill.

Iraq was a very progressive society and culture. As a child at school in England we learnt about that incredible region ,Mesopotamia. Even today, 50 years later, I marvel at what it achieved .So sad to see it destroyed.

@@iconiclust Iraq was destroyed by Western interference on the " intelligence " of WMD. Totally false. As bad as he was ,Saddam kept order and with it stability. It suited America wanting to establish a foothold there ( oil ) and attempt further influence in the region. It will never,sadly , recover.

nice feedback :)

I was reading your comment, and had not payed attention on your name, so by the way that your comment finished I thought "hey, is he an Albanian? Because many Albanians like to present themselves as the descendants of Illyrians, let me check his name..." , so I see your name and it looks like Serbian, but it could be from Montenegro or even from Bosnia. So where are you from? I understand that the "homeland of the ancient Illirian people" is stretched in more than a single modern-day country.

Extremely rewatchable content! I've sent this to anyone I could.

It's simply a stunning story. This wasn't just a civilization, it was the point in which humans transitioned from being cavemen to modern humans. The fact that the Epic of Gilgamesh is a story we found in this place, and the main character's friend Enkidu is indeed a caveman who Gilgamesh brings into civilization. This is a book, a book so unimaginably ancient yet so modern at the same time. We can relate to the characters but then we must remember that mammoths roamed at the time, and everywhere else on Earth were cave peoples. How amazing the world must have been for the Sumerians, a speck of light in a world of darkness. The first spark of what would become the modern world we live in today.

You can't learn from it. Different people, different circumstances, different resources, different problems etc. The fact is that what goes up must eventually go down.

That doesn't speak well about Western education. I distinctly remember learning meaning of "Mesopotamia" in secondary school (it struck me as the word "Mesopotamia" translated to my native Polish is nearly identical to how a small town in western Poland is named). I just checked English wikipedia and apparently this town - "Międzyrzecz" - was named specifically referring Mesopotamia. Ha, learning never ends. :)

Gilgamesh witnessed the ' Shem ' lifting off from Baalbek platform.

American here, can confirm. And as a former soldier deployed there, I very much dislike and am embarrassed by what we did, meddling with things we had no business touching. I believed in the 'cause' back then. I don't regret going, because it afforded me the chance to see Ur, but I do regret the mentality I had when I went. It was a British base called LSA Adder. There was an Iraqi family there that devoted their lives to teaching visitors about the ancient civilizations there, and the visit absolutely changed how I viewed the world outside the US. I wish I had visited Iraq in a more peaceful context and gotten to see more of your history, and I hope you and your family are doing well.

Right... I just can't control my tears, very overwhelming feeling of greatness and history

Ancient literature was outstanding. I doubt any living author nowadays could write so eloquently and beautifully.

Its so deep that i honestly don't even completely get it

@MissaLocke - Ancient peoples were every bit as intelligent, thoughtful, innovative, curious, even poetic as contemporary writers are. ------ Unfortunately, most of them were unable to record the nuances of their thoughts (cave paintings are beautiful, but lack the acuity and nuance of the written word, drawing on an increasingly complex vocabulary). ------- Fortunately, the Sumerians were able to manipulate their environment (ex: using clay for tablets) and building on their burgeoning cities and civil organizations (need for an alphabet) to record those sublime thoughts in detail.

It hit me hard too. No matter how great a king might be, no matter their accomplishments in war and peace, no matter how grand their cities might become, all are ultimately destined for the house of dust, and the ancient Sumerians understood this all too well.

The Bridge Of Sighs by Thomas Hood written in 1844 became my favorite poam after I found it in our computers free library as a teenager. I learned a few new words from it just by context. It beautifully expressed many thoughts, things I had seen, and feelings I'd been having about people and situations in the city I lived in then. I didn't interpret it literally but instead in a more abstract way and despite how long it is I almost accidentally memorized it. I only recently refound it using Google and learned of its history.

Thank you Maria, I'm so glad you're enjoying.

Thanks for listening!

I've lost count of how many times I've listened..its incredible..

Glad you enjoyed it!

I, as well! Magnificent! Every aspect of the presentation: remarkable!

@DASH RYNDAR Gotta admit, quality dumpster pumping is a lost art.

I am only partially stunned and retain use if my right side

The phrase those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it (~ Santayana) rings true. The wisdom of Gilgamesh’s reflection upon those who build houses, who in turn raise brothers that tears them apart also tings true today. It’s like the only thing that isn’t possible is creating a society where Empowering sustainable life the ultimate goal. We empower the individual at our peril, because in the end those who receive that empowerment only rejoice in themselves, and never in those who empowered them. The humankind affliction!!! Please someone speak of a cure???

Yes, when the History channel is now known 4 Ancient Aliens which is a joke.

Absolutely.

99%? I can't even name one that is better on TV/Cable.

Thank you, that really means a lot!

Yes, what Kasperthelarsen02 said. Looking forward to watching some others. Respect and thanx

@@FallofCivilizations - Please make an episode for the Minoan civilization.

Kasperthelarsen02 yeah what @Kasperthelarsen said !! Well narrated.. thanks

Me too, but I don't used my degree. I intend to start a YT channel on US Hx to WWII. Wish me luck.

This is the real history channel. Reality shows destroyed that channel.

Do you *NOT* understand? All the well made and financially supported documentations are from the claws of goverment interest.. If you desire honesty... Look towards cheap independent productions. Not productions that have the financial power to steer your thoughts and control your synapses as easily demonstrated by you here

You are easily pleased without question? An Acheologist decided to embark upon an expedition to ancient *mesopotamia...* Included was his team of educated and *skillful technicians.* They began their *expedition* in the epoch near the begining of AD: The excavation proceedeth for a few months; finding multiple artifacts and approximating a date to the begining of what they assumed was the birth of civilisation...? They concluded in their exhaustion: A paper was written in the date and area inwhich these archeologist *believe civilisation started.* They left the zone and returned back to Europe to finish publishing the findings. A further period: Centuries later ; A team researched the findings and traveled to the zone, inwhich multiple expeditions had taken place. They too performed an examination with modern technology of the era, the expedition lasted; almost 5 months, inwhich attempts made, to dig further than all previous successors. Indeed they was succesful in finding artifacts buried further beneath all previous expeditions; the extra length of time planning and digging, concluded a report that civilisation must have *began a few milleniums earlier than previously thought?* They too recorded the findings on a published paper and so it was known, an earlier date for civilisation arose! Centuries later: After multiple expeditions by professors and professionals alike; A team of archeologist enfluenced and financed by wealthy bussiness and polital interest gathered a team of recognised archeologist and paleontologist for the latest expedition; After *Nine months* into the expedition with advanced equiptment, the team acquired a large haul of artifacts that concluded civilisation started much earlier than previous unearthed; They decided to stop any further expeditions in the zone. A report was examined for the project, claiming earlier periods existed, than previous dates suggested, civilisation began? A publication of the latest report for the expeditions of the neolithic dynasty; Concluded: Results proving the antiquity of the discovered artifacts existed before all previous artifacts.. Later the zone was sealed and nomore expeditions was to continue... due to underground damage of water systems which would erode subsections of the zone? Later further archeologist studying the site hypothosised with further enhanced technology which allowed for remote surveillance with lazer heat technology; Report findings estimitated that; 'Civilisation had infact began, much earlier than all previous reports concluded' ; A paper was published and so it was known. Much later: A new team of experts studied the history of the zone; this time arrived with what was knowm as "ground breaking" future technology "Geological Site mapping" equiptment; Ultraphonic wave frequencies aided the establishment of areas under ground, no digging or damaging would be made here? Later a paper was disclosed: Final investigation reported ; Civilisation began in an approximation of atleast *six milleniums earlier* than previously examined of neolithic life in the zone... With hindsight, it is concluded by modern experts that "There may not be a way to find out truly how old the earlier civilisations are" ? Often due to layer decay and damage, self interest, funding, politics, corruption, technology...? Ultimately we see only self interest by stopping in the place of satisfaction, self interest, non- enthuse-ism and Eupheumism, which support one's narratives... *Do you not understand the matter, of this all?* The manner inwhich it is examined and concluded?

@@whywhy1702 i read the whole comment, and I think i see what you are getting at. Humans are plauged with self-interest and egoism. Selfishness above generosity. The truth is reaching out to us from beyond the millenia. We just need to listen. 🎧

I have a large chunk of lapis lazuli in my patio... I am seeing it much different now.... I loved the eloquent kind words for your great dad. Peace, amigo....

I live in south of iraq same location 😊

Your travels sound fascinating! What else did you do while visiting Iraq?

I'm from Iraq and l want to thank you about your beautiful speak about Iraq

I suppose the voice for history should be different from the voice for animal channels.

It needs more black faces.

And no cheesey reenactments either.

openview you do realize one of the most famous documentative narrators on the planet is a black man right..? What does skin color have to do with how well someone can narrate anyways? You sound like a racist.

Zerregren, I agree enthusiastically. My complaint with many documentaries and science shows is the obnoxious music and the flash of pictures (things moving extremely , darting from here to there.) Yes, "non dramatic voice" helps with the comprehension.

“The Earth Chronicles” by Zecharia Stitchin. These books are the life’s work of archeologist & anthropologist Zecharia Stitchin contain archeological facts of the truth behind Sumerian civilization, the beginning of humanity, the extinction of the dinosaurs, the “great flood”, the “Garden of Eden”, Mt. Sinai’s location & its importance & what really drive the people out & “melted the flesh” so quickly. For everyone interested in not just ancient history but the future of humanity & the trajectory of our technological revolution, “The Earth Chronicles” are a must read. We are in the Dawn of The Zodiacal age of Aquarius & it’s now Enki’s time to rule. The latest congressional hearing of the secrets of an advanced technologically superior civilization are just the beginning. Rejoice, for the cruel monotheistic Rulership of Enki’s traumatized son, Marduk (yes, the king took his name) has ended! Now is the time of the Rulership of our true literal co-creator. That is Enki & Ninharsag, siblings, lovers & co-creators of humans. But it was Enki, by directly breeding with his creations that he empowered with the ability to procreate & attain higher learning. It was young, naive, Anunaki that hastily & greedily using nuclear weapons that were never intended to be used as weapons to destroy Sumerian Civilization. There is so much in these books. There is also the list book of Enki, which he has not let humanity find yet. But I see the signs of Enki coming & I can only hope that in my lifetime he will reveal his book & reveal himself to rule us as the great father, engineer, architect, intellectual & revolutionary with unconditional love for humanity.

I agree!

F.o.C. U C?

Fabulous way of getting my brain stimulated.

Perfect night

7th minute into the video, I paused, scrolled down to write what you wrote.

yeap got it right first time. . ..

It doesn't end there...we use Sumerian technology and innovations every single day of our lives. Indoor plumbing? Hot and cold running water? Libraries? Urban planning was a viable career choice....that says a lot about how advanced they were. When we say Urban planning.... UR-ban planning.... all roads should lead to Sumeria...Rome was a bust.

I always wondered why there were 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Now I can show off to my friends!

What minute please

@@docsmoovbrain1524 imagine if we had more or less than 10 fingers or different numbers of sections. Would hours and minutes be different lengths?

yes sir

YES!!!🌎👤💀⏳⌛

"Dust is their food and clay their meat..." It shakes up my silly and bizarre assumption that the modern mind, or recognizable people are anything even close to recent.

Oh

You nailed it
