This is the history of the new world....in the old world ( the Americas ) human homo sapiens we're living in organized societies thousands of years before the Egyptians ... Taking nothing away from so called ' western' historical narratives but we also have our own historians and narrative of human history that goes back further than any other culture on the planet . Humans crossed the Bering Straights from the Americas into Siberia not that other way around... Remember that the European Enlightenment occured as a result of knowledge of art science mathematics , human hygiene , medicine , law and government , sculpture , astronomy , agriculture ,biology , ect brought back to Europe to be studied and copied ..thus the term ' enlightenment '....even the US Constitution was copied from the Iroquois Confederacy after being discovered by Ben Franklin...

@shengsun5916 2 года назад

Yes, and my research has shown that the 4 ancient civilizations as we were taught are survivors of the flood. And one can see that the Egyptian(Wiped out by Assyrian Babylonians possibly, although teachings survived by the Greeks), Zoroastrian (Persian Babylonian), Hindu and Daoist traditions all kept part of the antedeluvian knowledge in the form of astronomy, metrology, music, medicine and ritual magic. In fact British imperial sysyem is another evidence why I stated in another comment that they and their German ancestors of Assyrian Babylonian origin also kept part of the ancient knowledge.

He was NOT "also known as Sardanapalus." That's just what the later Greek historians called him. In fact his real name in ancient Assyrian is pronounced "ASHUR BANU APPAL," which means "ASHUR (the god) has created an heir."

@mrlefty1276 Год назад

@@kaloarepo288 lol that only applies with some names. At no point outside of the Greek speaking communities was he ever known as "Sardanapalus". Outside of the Assyrian community he was always known by his abbreviated, Hebraic name- Ashurbanipal. Also, many names of ancient kings, queens and legendary figures of antiquity do not necessarily have hellenized names as you claim. Many have Hebraic forms of their names for example : King Sargon, King Esarhaddon, King Sennacherib, King Ashurbanipal, etc

@kaloarepo288 Год назад

@@mrlefty1276 The western world has received a lot of the names from the ancient Middle Eastern world via Greek historians and writers.The exceptions are those figures that are mentioned in the bible but even many of them have hellenized names like Cyrus-these could be from the Septuagint Greek translation.Of course more recent discoveries preserve the more authentic names and the names of many have been changed away from Greek style names like pharaohs-Cheops is back to Khufu,Sesostris etc but a lot of Egyptology and Assyriology maintains the hellenized names -e.g."Egypt" the word itself,Nubia and Mesopotamia,Assyria,Babylonia,Phoenicia -these are all hellenized and latinized names like it or not!In western high culture -art,poetry and music "Sardanapalus" has always been used except for more recent writings when his "real"name has been restored

@Amadeu.Macedo 2 года назад

Thank you so much for assembling this precious summary about my favorite king - of my preferred empire - of antiquity: Aššurbanipal (Ashurbanipal), the ruler of the most powerful, cruel, and (yet) cultivated realm on Earth during the Eighth Century BCE! The Assyrians represent, for me, an intellectual dilemma, for despite their unrelenting, abominable deeds, I am unable to follow suit with some other cultivated individuals, who share my enormous admiration for Ancient Mesopotamian history and its magnificent cultures, but nonetheless display unrestrained, antagonistic sentiments towards Assyria. Those who condemn the brutal historical legacy of the Neo-Assyrian empire (911-612/09 BCE) should be reminded of the fundamental necessity of appraising the acts of our archaic ancestors within the context of the bloodthirsty environment where they existed. A quick glance at our equally heinous Contemporary History (from 1945 to the present) suffices to demonstrate that Putin, Stalin, Mao Zedong, and particularly the monstrous Cambodian Pol Pot (ruled 1975 - 1979), were equally (or even more) ruthless than Ashurbanipal or any other members of the Sargonic Dynasty. Quite frankly, the main distinction between these historical groups lies in the modern despots' avoidance of "bragging" about their cruel behavior; actually, instead of gloating, our contemporary dictators re-write historical events to fit their underlying ideological and/or geopolitical aspirations... Just watch CNN, BBC, or Deutsche Welle this week, for their broadcasts are filled with incredible Russian fabrications!

@علي ياسر you clearly don’t know your history because: 1. It was nabopollassar that beat the Assyrians not Nebuchadnezzar. 2. Nestorian isn’t an ethnicity it’s what people in Europe called the church of the east and some other churches in the area who didn’t follow Greek and Roman Christianity. It’s a religious sect just like Catholicism or orthodoxy. Saying someone is ethnically Nestorian is like saying someone is ethnically Catholic. 3. The Assyrians were not all wiped out. Many survived under various empires and had autonomy in some provinces and some times even independent kingdoms who were vassals. Examples are the province of Athura of the Achaemenid empire , Greek province of Syria ( which is a corruption of Assyria), kingdoms like Adiabene under Parthian rule, Roman province of assyria and Asoristan under the sasanians. Some cities like Assur and arbela were even fully rebuilt during the Achaemenid era and flourished under the Parthian era. People there also kept worshiping ancient Assyrian gods even centuries after Christianity was born. It was only around the 1300 ad that Assur was fully destroyed and never inhabited again. The people fled further north to ten mountains to avoid being massacred by the timurids. 4. The Brits and the west had nothing to do with the name of modern Assyrians if anything they divided them further by calling catholic Assyrians Chaldeans when they split from the church of the east centuries ago. That just shows how they really didn’t know much of anything about the modern Assyrians.

@@Vajrapani108 The word demon in its original and truest connotation means "being between gods and mortals". The Judeo-Christian doctrine borrowed the term and then gave it the negative connotation is has nowadays as Judeo-Christian demons are beings in-between god and humans, but unlike angels (literally "messengers" of god) they antagonise god and are therefore evil.

You should take a closer look at his father, Esarhaddon! We have his personal letters preserved and you can really see what kind of man he was. Esarhaddon’s oldest brother was killed by the babylonians, so his father Sennacherib sacked Babylon and destroyed it. This was a big deal because Babylon was a holy city, kind of like the Vatican. Sennacherib’s destruction caused political instability and a few years later he was stabbed to death by esarhaddon’s other brothers. Esarhaddon then fought his murderous brothers, took the throne, and REBUILT BABYLON. It was a huge, decades long reconstruction. He wanted to forge a single national identity between Assyria and Babylonia. Esarhaddon’s life’s work was shattered when assurbanipal destroyed Babylon to kill his own brother. If assurbanipal hadn’t pissed off the babylonians, the neo Babylonian state wouldn’t exist, and Assyria might not have fallen in 612 BCE. Crazy stuff!
