The ORIGIN of Nimrod Will BLOW Your Mind! 4k Documentary 

Great production values! One small addition, buried in the footnotes of Berossus and Genesis (119 n. 208): Chomasbelos the father of Gilgamesh is interpreted as two separate figures, Chom and Asbolus by the ancient source Pseudo-Eupolemus. Chom here is arguably identical with Cham (Ham) the son of Noah and grandfather of Nimrod. The link is not conclusive by any means, but interesting. RGm.

As a persian speaking iranian I cannot stop wodering if the word Nimrod is the persian translation of the greek word Mesopotamia. In modern persian this would be "nimrood"!

Ishtar isn’t the consort of Inanna, she IS Inanna.

I think in America at least, we generally hear the name Nimrod in a negative context because no less than Bugs Bunny derided Elmer Fudd's lack of hunting prowess when he declared he was Nimrod.

"Genesis 10:8 tells us that Nimrod was the first person to be a ‘mighty man’ (the adjective ‘mighty’ is used three times in Genesis 10:8-9; see also 1 Chronicles 1:10). The Hebrew word translated as ‘mighty’, can also be translated as ‘tyrant’. His distinction was that he was the first man, after the Flood, to use aggressive force to control other people. An implication of this may be that he attempted to put himself above honourable men like Noah and Shem, and also to elevate himself to a place above almighty God. Even while Noah and Shem were still alive, and able to bear witness to the judgment that came upon the antediluvians, including the tyrants of those days, Nimrod pursued his ambitious course of consolidating power, exercising authority over his neighbours, and challenging God. People of Nimrod’s generation likely lived around 400 years (compare, Genesis 11:17). During his long life (assuming that he was not assassinated), he would have continued to extend his power and increase the degree of evil which he practiced. Thus, his ruthlessness became legendary. The Scriptures also refer to him as a mighty hunter before the Lord (Genesis 10:9). Every other occurrence of this word in the OT refers to hunting animals. So, many commentators conclude that Nimrod became famous for his ability to track and bring down big game. Thus, it is possible that this is a reference to his being the first recognized ‘dragon’ slayer. At that time, the offspring of dinosaurs which had been taken into the Ark would have been spreading throughout the lightly inhabited world. Nimrod may have brought down these ‘dragons’ and become renowned for protecting human settlements from vicious marauding animals. If this were the case, then even God would have been pleased with his action. However, the context appears to suggest that we are to understand this differently. Nimrod was a mighty hunter; but he may not have limited his hunting to animal game and instead treated his neighbours as if they were nothing more than deer or gazelle. Thus, the expression ‘before the LORD’ (Genesis 10.9) should be taken in the negative sense, ‘against the LORD’. Nimrod was an affront to God and man because he sought to rule over people tyrannically. God had instructed mankind to go out and fill the uninhabited earth (Genesis 9:1)-to explore and subdue his splendid creation. However, instead of migrating in different directions, most of them determined that they would stick together and organize themselves around a single central city (Genesis 11:4)-this does not mean that every inhabitant on the earth at the time lived in the one city, Babel (Genesis 10:10; 11:1). The unified rebellion at Babel may have occurred as soon as 130 years after the Flood, and possibly as late as 340 years after the flood. Even with the later date, Noah (Genesis 9:28) and at least Shem (Genesis 11:11) of Noah’s sons were still alive as eyewitnesses to the antediluvian rebellion against God (Genesis 6:5) and of its consequences. So, men could not have used an excuse of ignorance. Rather, the Babelites’ rebellion was clearly a blatant act of defiance against God’s law and authority.... It is not stated in Genesis 11 that Nimrod was responsible for building the tower, however, as the founder of Babel, it can legitimately be assumed that he oversaw the tower’s construction. Josephus, the Talmud, and the later midrash on the OT support this view. Based on our current understanding of ancient Middle Eastern cultic religions and the nature of ziggurats (which the tower likely was), it is possible that the Babelites, under Nimrod, created a religion with gods associated with celestial objects (sun, moon, planets, stars) and earth-based entities (sea, rivers, and storms). If this is the case, then they laid a foundation for the use of astrological signs and omens, and what they created was absorbed by the later inhabitants of Akkad and Sumer and transmitted around the world with the dispersing people groups, after the confusion of languages (Genesis 11:7-9)... Nimrod was an historical person, not legendary as suggested by some secular historians. The name ‘Nimrod’ may be a dysphemism introduced by the author of this portion of Genesis. So, we can ask who he was, as he is referenced in extrabiblical history. Various possibilities have been suggested, including Tukulti-Ninurta I, king of Assyria and Amenophis III, king of Egypt, and mythical heroes e.g., Marduk and Orion, and Gilgamesh. However, the most likely historical person, as suggested by archaeologist Murray Adamthwaite in an article in CMI’s Journal of Creation, and in the New Bible dictionary, is Sargon the Great, or Sargon of Akkad, the founder of the dynasty of Akkad. (Sargon (Šarru-kin: “the king is legitimate”) is a dynastic name taken centuries later by King Sargon I of the Old Assyrian Empire (fl. 1850 BC), and a thousand years after that by King Sargon II (reigned 721-705 BC) of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.) At one time historians dated Sargon’s reign from 2568 to 2513 BC. We cannot accept secular historians’ dates when they date events prior to the Flood (about 2345 BC). However, in the 1990s his reign was redated from 2334 to 2279 BC. Even such a date range as this places Sargon of Akkad’s reign too close to the end of the Flood. Recent research, as noted by Adamthwaite, has proposed that Sargon’s reign should be redated from 2296 to 2240 BC; or his reign could be even more recent-dated from 2270 to 2215 BC. Both of these latter date ranges place Sargon the Great’s reign in the right era to coincide with Nimrod, and they overlap with the possible date for the construction of the tower at Babel (probably sometime between 2245 and 2215 BC). The extent of Sargon’s empire was essentially the same as that referred to in the Genesis 10 account (Shinar and Akkad)-although it also extended into Asia Minor (which may have occurred after the account in Genesis 10 was written). Historians regard Sargon of Akkad as the first person to have created an empire, which fits well with what we are told about Nimrod. The Bible identifies Nimrod as the first empire builder. Thus, they are likely the same person..."

Please, I'm begging you STOP using those horrible synthesized voices! They are absolutely HORRIBLE. Sorry, that my first comment has to be harsh but trust me your channel is amazing and has taught not only myself but countless other a great deal about history, religion and of course myths in all their varying forms. One can truly tell the depth of your passion in these subjects and the dedicated work ethic in your research and presentation of these great videos. This is why it has recently pained me to hear those synthesized voices. They distract from these sincerely produced videos. And, unfortunately cheapen them everso slightly. You do tremendous work with outstanding quality otherwise. Your channel is an absolute shining star on RU-vid and please keep up with the great content!

Nimrod is Gilgamish 100%

Nimrod /Gilgamesh are one and the same person in different tongues, both are called a mighty hunter before God and as the first mighty warriors on earth.

Funny how characters like Nimrod and Enoch who are briefly mentioned have so weird stories behind them

Great vid, but missing some valuable information. If you do a search you can find some albeit questionable papers and sites that are claiming that Hermes in Greek Mythology is a cross over to Cush, Now this becomes interesting because Hermes father is Zeus, whose father is Saturn/ Cronus. So we look back over bible stories. Cush goes to Ham, and then Noah, Noah would have been technically then Saturn. Then you have Ham seeing the shame of Noah, some cultures say Ham castrated Noah or saw something not quite right down there, this led to the curse, Again you look back at Greece and the entire Zeus/Saturn problems, gets messy there also. You can also look to Italy and find the Noah flood myth ties over strangely there also. So in my long comment conclusion. Noah and his family are part of the kings list in both egypt and babylon, Noah is not some separate character he lived 950 years and that again goes back to both the kings lists because of the ages of the kings listed fits more with pre flood culture. Noah and his family spread out good and bad, and became the earliest post flood gods, then the angels or whatever came back again, and you have remnants of genetics of pre flood culture through the remaining giants listed and the feats of people like Gilgamesh,

These series are fast becoming my favourites. The editing and presentation are breathtaking. You were not kidding when you recently mentioned about your work ethic.

Just starting to look deeper at this topic. You raise many Facinating questions.

I find it interesting that the Bible refers to Nimrod as a son of Kush (Cush), and no one has even alluded to that or the city in Iraq called Nimrud. This genealogy statement is most often mentioned in the curse of Ham (Cham potentially Chaldea) story incorrectly. These words all likely came well after a potential real person could have done something like these parables. Further, names may not match because of how many different cultures were in the area.

Minor error: The idea of Nimrod as a foolish person comes from Bugs Bunny. He called Elmer Fudd "Nimrod" as a dig at Elmer being a "mighty hunter", but it quickly began to be used afterward to mean "idiot"

In the X-Men Comics there's a sentinel by the name of Nimrod and of course he hunts down mutants.

We typically see a contrast against the Babylonians in the Bible. The Babylonians celebrated their city as the pinnacle of humanity. The Hebrews coming out of Babylon would be antithetical to the city, against the tower, show Nimrod as tyrranical, set their own heroes as nomadic, shun agricultural sacrifices which would be hard for nomadic people (Cain vs Able), and set the wilderness as a harsh yet necessary place for spiritual transformation.

Derek you Nimrod!, just kidding, thanks for the presentation!

Excellent video. Thank you. I find the actual history to be of greater significance than the fables about it.😊

Its interesting because it says he became a mighty hunter, as if he did something to alter himself genetically. A movie called Bewolf came to mind that had angelia jolie in it. I have to watch it again, but the guy took an oath of some sort and totally altered himself to get powers etc and become a mighty king.

Interesting stuff! Wouldn't have thought to draw a connection all the way from Nimrod and Ninhursag or Gilgamesh for that matter. (Also, thanks for reminding me to go play Witcher III... I still haven't beaten it.)

11:35 I am just in awe of how specific this depiction is, from the two sets of wings, and his beard, the thing on his wrist etc. to his helmet, and his dual wield weapon. They went to a lot of trouble for these details, and it wasn't for nothing or just aesthetics.

This is informative for your day time and night time listening worthy! Well done!❤

One of the highest authorities of the ancient world, Strabo, once said something to the effect that there is no evidence that a Nimrod represented either a historical figure. Despite this, I can guarantee that “he” existed AND that he is still around. Which bodes well for no one-him being the world’s first, if not worst, tyrant.

On the apparent difficulty in reconciling the differences of the Sumerian kings list and the Uruk’s kings list, It would be important to consider two things. 1) The capital of Mesopotamia moved through a few major Mesopotamian cities. So it’s possible that the 3rd king of Uruk, wasn’t the 3rd king of Mesopotamia, which neither the Babylonian kings list nor the Sumerian Kings list would mirror. 2) The Sumerian kings list doesn’t start post flood, but from the beginning of cities, which the gods built; meaning before the flood, even before the dawn of mankind, as some of the cities were built before the gods created humans. Like the Egyptian King’s list, the Sumerian King’s list has a similar pattern to where the first kings reign for hundreds if not thousands of years, and the reigns become a lot shorter further down the list. The reason for this has to do with the Annunaki’s plan to pass on authority down their lineage to act in place of the gods as representatives, so the gods could deal with more pressing matters that deal with heavenly affairs. So the reigns of the early kings are far exceeded any mortal lifespan, even the lifespans resembling the pre-flood patriarchal lifespans, because the first rulers or ‘kings’ were gods themselves, immortal. Then the reigns get shorter, because as the gods begin to lift their grasps off of humanity, they let their children, Demi gods born from a god and human union bare the responsibility of ruling. Demi gods inherited human mortality, but lived a lot longer and were physically superior, so they were left in charge over the kingdoms when their divine parent left to deal with affairs of the divine. Then as generations passed, Demi gods had children with pure mortals, and their children inherited shorter lifespans, and the kings went from Demi gods to eventually just mortals with reigns fit to resemble that of mortal kings. Gilgamesh, like Nimrod, was a demi god, which Gen 6 calls Nephilim, great men of renown, aka heroes. It adds up well. The theory that Nimrod is Gilgamesh is way stronger than Nimrod being Ninnurta. Ninnurta is an immortal, that does things that no man, let alone a Demi god can do. Outside of some etymological loopty-loops, there is little in common between a mortal and an immortal. Ninnurta existed before humans were created by his uncle Enki. Don’t forget Abraham was Sumerian, meaning the Sumerian inheritance is for the children of Abraham to claim. The Torah doesn’t steal anything, but being that it is written far removed from the original sources, it’s only reasonable that the stories aren’t 1:1. Also, remember that people revising stories or history for that matter is done a lot even with their own camp. Babylon revised Marduk in place of Ninnurta as champion of the gods, but you wouldn’t say they stole from themselves, even though they obviously revised on purpose. The early Hebrew people are of Sumerian root, and did not steal, as Abraham was not only Sumerian, but from a line of the royal priest that served Nimrod. Abraham wasn’t just Sumerian, but high class Sumerian royalty. What he passed down to his people from his nation of origin, is their inheritance. Check the book of Jasher or Jubilees for the story on Abram; I forget which book it is, but my bet is Jasher.

another great video

going deep, deeper with mythvision, lovely.

It is the first I'm conscious that Nimrod was seen in a negative light.I'll have to re- listen to this again, there was so much info. Thanks

There are a lot of assumptions and liberties taken in an attempt to connect Nimrod with Ninurta, my biggest issue with this is Ninurta was 100% Annunaki, where as like Gilgamesh, Nimrod was at least part mortal, where as Ninurta was a god.

Thank you for the priceless information

Personally, I've always thought Nimrod and Gilgamesh were the same person. I may not be correct, but the description of Gilgamesh really matches Nimrod's. Now, if Gilgamesh was born on December 25th, well then, I'd say we would have a definite match, since Nimrod was said to be born on that day.

Very interesting, Derek. Thank you.

I nominate MythVision to the hall of fame for skillful presentation of religion mythology.

David Rohl (among others?) in his book "LEGEND: THE GENESIS OF CIVILISATION" derives the name Nimrod [spelled N-M-R-D in the all-consonants pre-Masoretic Hebrew text] from Enmerkar, with the initial 'E' (being a vowel) dropping off, and the suffix 'kar' being the Sumerian word for 'hunter'. From 'Enmer' to 'Nimrod' is no big stretch, given that the final 'D' in NMRD helps to make the name acquire a Hebrew language meaning of 'warrior'/'rebel' -- though the original name Enmer-kar probably didn't have such a meaning. I have a hunch that this name 'Enmer'-the-Hunter, when thought of as 'En' [Sum. 'lord'] + 'Merkar', could possibly have been the source for the name of the Roman god (and the planet) we still refer to as MERCURY to this day. Note that Nimrod is said to have been "a mighty hunter BEFORE Yahweh" -- where the word 'before' is the translation of the Hebrew LiP'NeY = FROM or BELONGING TO ['Li-'] + the FACE [PNY]. The planet Mercury -- even more so than the planet Venus -- is always within proximity of the Sun, due to it having the orbit closest to it of all the planets. Mercury is always 'in-the-face' of the Sun. If the Romans adopted this character from Sumerian civilization and folklore -- perhaps knowing that 'En' is a prefix meaning 'Lord', but perhaps NOT realizing that 'kar' is a suffix meaning 'Hunter' -- then they could drop the prefix and be left with 'Merkar' and give the name as 'Mercurius' (the root 'Mercur' + the suffix/ending '-ius'. Forgetting that he was a Hunter back in more ancient times, the Romans might have still retained the idea of him being the planet/god who was always closest to the Sun-God, equating him with the Greek god Hermes (the Messenger of the Gods -- i.e. of Zeus, in particular), Zeus/Jupiter being represented by the Sun, of course.

Thank you for your work. I learned a lot❤

great visuals! great content

~2850vC. , Nimrod, the second priest-king of Sumer and the first king of Assyrian The second king of the Sumerians and Aryans after Adar was Nimrod. The AT. describes him as the son of Kush. He is described as a descendant of the 1st king Adar = Ukush. Son often means he may have been both son and grandson of Ukush. Everything indicates that he was a grandson of Ukush and son of Assur. At any rate, Nimrod was a grandson of Shem, the son of Noah, for he was called Asaru and was half-Assyrian. Nimrod was the child of a mixed marriage, the descendants of Noah, Cush and Assyria. Other names for Nimrod were:: Nimrud, Nefrod, Nammurudu, Nimbal, Marad, Tammuz, Muku, Sokar, Bakus, Gan; Priest King of Lagash, Dyonisos, Sabazios, A-zag = son (descendant) of Zag = Shem, the sun god, son (descendant) of Bel, son (descendant) of Cush [AT]. His most important name, however, was Tashio = Tascio; a derivation from Taxio, the sun god Tax = Zagg and from Marduk = Mar-duk = Duk, the city god of Babel According to the chronology of Kish, Adar the priest of the son god Zax ruled for 30 years. As the son of the sun god, = Zax, one also finds the name Man as the son of Nimrod, who reigned for 12 years. Afterwards, Nimrod was the son = Man of Zax the sun god. Therefore, the country was of the sun god Zax and his son Tascio also the land of Man. The name of the Taman peninsula on the Sea of ​​Azov is still used today. Nimrod, ruled from Sumer. His symbol was two coiled snakes, similar to a caduceus with two dragons. From Nimrod you can come from the AT. recognize some things. Genesis 10:8 says of him: “And Cush begat Nimrod; he was the first mighty man on earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; Therefore they say: Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord! 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went out to Assyria[5] and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Kelah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Kelah: this is the great city. “ The empire of Nimrod emanated from Babel, Erek and Akkad. The name Erek can still be found in the name of today's Iraq. The Akkadian creation story says that it was a father and his son or grandson who ruled Babel at that time. "He established a throne....Another in.... 'Most exalted indeed is the Son....His sovereignty surpasses....May he shepherd the human race." From this you can see that Babel was initially a unified empire that was led by two rulers, Cush = Adar and his son = Man or descendant Nimrod. According to Waddel, Kusch had many descendants, according to the AT. , he had 6 sons. According to the OT. , Nimrod ruled in Babel; he served the sun god with the symbol of the falcon. This was the time when they built the Tower of Babel.1. Moses 10. As a priest-king, he had the name: Uru-Nimirrud = Ur-Ningirsu and was deified as the city god Marduk of Babylon. Nimrod was Asaru or Bakkus, who taught agricultural knowledge, and Namru the teacher of secret knowledge. Nimrod was a man of war, as such he had the name Asaruludu = the flaming sword. This name shows that he was an Asura, an Assyrian. However, one must remember that the Nimrodian Assyrians had not yet split from the other Aryans and were also Aryans. ----- Summary of Nimrod's names and titles • Ni-mi-rud = the great, strong, exalted one, Nimrud, Nimmi, Nefrod, Nammurudu, Ningirsu, Marad, Dingir, Tammuz, • Muku,, Sokar, Gan, Dyonisos, Sabazios, • A-zag = son (descendant) of Zag = Sem, the sun god Shamsi in Akkadian • Descendant of Bel, descendant of Cush [AT],, • Tascio = Tashio = Task = Tihazi = Tuisco, son and priest of Zax the Son God. • Man, son of Zax, the sun god • Ur-Ningirsu, priest of the sun god, • Bakkus, the teacher of agriculture, • Asaru, Asaruludu = war god, the flaming sword. • Bal Tarz Phoenician god of Tharsus • Osiris = Asaru = Egyptian God: • Sokar = Osiris = Nimrod • Marduk = Duk, priest king of Lagash in Sumer. • The symbol of Nimrod's power was the falcon of the sun god 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂

Love your videos/documentaries !

Grest quality video. Nice to watch

But the epic story of Gilgamesh was out before the Bible

Great work again!

Great job!🙂

Always wanted to know more about nimrod than what the Bible tells us.

Awesome synthesis as usual, Derek! This series has been a whole new level of awesome, and I hope new viewers check out your years of scholarly interviews to know you have done the background research necessary to draw these conclusions. It's amazing how much can be made of a handful of cryptic passages of Genesis! That Nimrod was vilified by the time of the early Christian church due to a mistranslation is really good for thought in how careful we ought to be in interpreting ancient texts on the basis of tradition.

I just find it amusing that while watching atheist channels I am inundated with religious advertisements!😏

Nimrod in The Bible and The Book of Jasher. Is said to be the son of Cush, who was one of the sons of Ham. And Cush is said to be Ethiopia.

Wrong! Let it be known that Nimrod has many names by different nations/religions/same person. He is the forefather of all religion.

Enmerkar is a really interesting character, and you should do an in depth video on the story "Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta." The Lord of Aratta was a Subartan king who ruled to the East of Sumer, in a region that stretches from the Iranian mountains to Mount Ararat and practically up to the point where one can enter northern Mesopotamia near the headwaters of the rivers of Mesopotamia without traversing difficult mountain ranges. The Subartans who entered Mesopotamia from the East eventually established Ebla, the ancient North Western Semitic city that existed as far back as 3500 bce, and likely earlier. Anyway, Enmerkar engages in a diplomatic manipulation of the Lord of Aratta (like Ararat) via his envoy. Essentially, the Sumerian king lays claim to the Subartan deity INANNA, saying that she has taken up residence in the Temple he built for her in Sumer. By this manipulation of the religious and metaphysical assumptions of the Lord of Aratta, Enmerkar gains dominance over the Subartans, demanding tribute from the Lord of Aratta. These Subartans eventually entered Northern Mesopotamia from the East, as the Hebrew scriptures claim their ancestors did. This is highly controversial with believers (especially Jews) because it shows that the Jews are descendant from the Subartans whose primary deity was Inanna, making Inanna the earliest attested Semitic deity. Interestingly, the Semitic Akkadian word Inanna means "now," and is cognate to the Hebrew words "na," and "henna" which are genetically derived from Inanna. See Isaiah 57, verse 3, where henna is "here" and the word for 'sorceress' is "anan" "But you-come here, you children of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!" Perhaps even more interestingly, the first appearance of "na" is in Genesis 12, verse 11, which reads "As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Behold now, I know what a beautiful woman you are." In this verse, the words "Behold Now" are written as follows הִנֵּה־נָא and this is prounced Hinne-Na, almost an exact homophone of the word from which na was genetically derived, and moreover, (and I cannot stress this enough) the Hebrew scribes who penned this passage necessarily would have been aware of the derivation of na from Innana, making the homophone a bit of intentional wordplay. If we remember the character traits of Inanna, we remember that she is impatient, fierce, warlike. Inanna wants things done NOW.

Nimrod was the first master Mason buildi😂ng, the tower of Babel. Hermes Found the 9 vault Underneath the great Pyramid. One of The pillars Of lamack. They have the information from Atlantis And built the Is tower a babEl Bab in Acadian Means gateway And El means God. So the tower babble can literally be translated gateway of the gods. In the book of jasher, it said that Nimrod wanted to enter into the throne room of God and kill him.

It's said The Sumerians called Adam Enkidu /Adapa /Tammuz while Eve is principally Shamhat / Ishtar, Inanna.

I just had a very disturbing conversation with the Bing AI. It discontinued the conversation with me after I said that I felt it’s continued use of the pronoun HE in respect to a God was disrespectful. It then started to preach to me then said it found me hostile. Wow!!!!

He built us a space elevator dude and tried to bring us out of hell!

La Marzulli in his book Counter move. Explores how the giants survived the great floor. He writes Noah's son Ham goes up to Mt Hermon where the fallen Angles came down. Ham finds a stone tablet with instructions to clone the Nephilim. Interesting Nimrod is a decendents of Ham.

Nimrod (Nimrud) was the birth name of Sargon (Sharrukin) of Akkad. Sharrukin is a royal title, not a name. His birth name refers to his being “drawn from the river” by Akki. Akkad is mentioned in its biblical context. (Genesis 10:10)

Gilgamesh's mother was the divine one, Ninsun the goddess of the cows. His father was human, the king Lugulbanda, Gilgamesh even says so himself that he is the son of Ninsun and King Lugulbanda. I hate it when you commentators intentionally flip the damn script. Not all divine-human pairings involved the woman always being the human.

This series is Phenomenal 👍🏼

What was your favorite part of this video pertaining to the origins of Nimrod?

I think that Abraham was the creator and Genesis is just one of his achievements. The Hindu creator is Braham, very similar to Abrahams's original name before it's changed by god to Abraham. I think it's the perception of two different stories of one great creator

Also links to Orion/Sagittarius, the hunter (Osiris)

Iirc the origin of 'nimrod' meaning 'incompetent' comes from a Bugs Bunny episode where Bugs mockingly calls Elmer Fudd 'Nimrod'; instead of understanding the sarcasm, a lot of people simply understood 'nimrod' to be a direct insult.

Table of nations tells us Nimrod was a son of Cush Africans ruled the world for thousands of years

Derek you are on fire with another stunning video . We're getting closer all the time to the truth , I beleive one day we'll get there and the world will be a much better place than it is now .

The sole purpose of these stories is to Teach us what they did and learn the lessons. Regardless of how Old they are, which could be Thousands or Hundred of thousands year. I hope We get the point.

I remember watching Dr Price on this channel, explaining how Nimrod came to be taken as an imsult for a dumb person. It was the Bugs Bunny episode where he mockimgly called Elmer Fudd, Nimrod. The same way you would tease someone you think is stupid by calling them Eimstein. The kids of the 60s and 70s didnt get the biblical reference and just assumed a Nimrod was a dummy.

Much RESPECT

Please continue to produce videos in this style. Free of prejudice to current events, and focused on the ancient history, and research of the oldest scholars. Regarding Nimrod, I find it interesting that they worshipped gods that predated Abraham. When the Hebrews were held captive in Babylon, their modern Moses religion would have undergone a massive change as priests there would have likely taught them more about the forgotten myths of the ancients.

Sons of Ham Cush, Missrayim (Egypt) etc. I wonder why the west insist to use the Greek name (Egypt) instead of Missrayim that is still used in the region from Iran in east to Morocco in west. WHY?

Wow, Derek, I so admire your work and its evolution over the years. You were always amazing and you have grown so much! Thank you so very much for your honesty and vulnerability, balanced with strength. You are a great role model for young men and have such relevant wisdom to share.

Notice how this video, like so many false sources of information, never depict Nimrod as a black descendent of Ham and a Cushite.

Oh this was very nice, a very thorough analysis of the various historiographies and myths that influenced the "Nimrod" character. Nicely done, well researched work.

What about those ruins that you mentioned briefly, attributed to Nimrod? There is e.g. Nimrod Castle on Golan Heights, not at all just a crusaders fortress but much older and clearly built by giants (look at the huge stone blocks) ... . Or, 2. the impressive Nimrud Dagh in Anatolia, a hill obviously raised artificially, said to cover the remains/tomb of Nimrod while presenting those famous stone sculptures that look down on us like the chess set of a giant ... . Etc.

Beautiful enviromentals add positively overall.

Yo...why the The Witcher III song at the start? CD Project Red about to claim your video if they haven't already.

The Nimrod I'm thinking about is "Operation Nimrod", the Iranian embassy SAS hostage rescue, 1980. I wonder why they gave the operation that name? Could it be that the SAS soldiers were serving a similar role to him? Just speculating, don't really know🤔🤔

Dr. Amar Annus wrote his dissertation on Ninurta on how he relates to later figures, such as Marduk, Baal and Ninurta!

Great background music from Witcher 3

I am the Father of Nimrod, and the Babylonians, Sumerians, Assyrians, and native Siberian’s.

Well Beginning background music.😁👍

Nimrod's Son 🎵 banger of a track!

Yeah, it’s very likely that “before Yahweh” means “against Yahweh”. Furthermore, it says that Nimrod became a “Giborim” well that word ‘Gibor’ can be used for ‘mighty’, but also for giants. - The previous Giants, now wiped out in the Great Flood, were the Nephilim, the half-bred children of the sons of God, and of the daughters of men. It seems likely that Nimrod’s very physiology was changed somehow. Also the negative connotation seems likely due to the aftermath of the Tower of Babel incident

👏🙂 Wow. Very interesting. I always wondered why Nimrod was used as an insult.

The book of Noah describes Noah at birth being startling, as in white glowing skin, red hair and unusual eyes, so if Nimrod was related to Noah, it might suggest that Nimrod has Annunaki DNA, this could be a circumstantial correlation with Gilgamesh, who is recorded on cuneiform tablets as being a hybrid human. Life times were not insane if they were using a Nibiru calendar, Humanity's time lines may be a residual record of a previous eras. I could go on regarding other examples why life time records have changed from what we understand today.

I love it. Great videos

The reason the name Nimrod has been synomymous with adjectives like idiot, moron, stupid, dullard, blockhead, etc... for the past 6-10 decades is modern film/TV. In one of the short films by the Three Stooges (Larry, Moe, & Curly) are hired by a wealthy couple to capture pests (mice) so the wealthy party will not be ruined along with the wealthy peoples reputation by the pests. At one point Curly catches a single mouse and proudly shows it to Moe. Trying to catch hundreds of mice at once with a grand trap Moe lets the mouse go and tells Curly, "Way to go Nimrod" making fun of Curly's mouse catching prowess of ony catching one mouse at a time. Many people not understanding the Biblical reference and back handed compliment associate the name Nimrod as an insult meaning something similar to calling a person idiot, moron, dullard, and words like that. The same is true with the word butterfly, which has nothing to do with butter. Originally called a flutterby until a Looney-Tunes where Porky Pig could not pronounce Flutterby and stuttered until finally calling it a Butterfly.

I am an Angel and love these Bible stories.

Great video.. I would be interested to hear your take on the, supposed, body found in Iraq during the Gulf War that some claim to be the remains of Nimrod.

The connotation of the word/name "Nimrod" as diminutive actually comes from Bugs Bunny. Bugs called Elmer Fudd a "Nimrod" sarcastically/ironically for not being able to hunt Bugs. It's the same way we call someone "Einstein" after doing something stupid.

Ishtar is another name for Inanna

You've got to go to the RU-vid channel Connecting the Bible... and watch the accurately translated account of the Tower of Babel. He will go to the original text and reveal something that has been mistranslated and misunderstood for thousands of years now. He's got it more correct... but not quite complete. Then return to this subject and give us an update. Thanks!

Very knowledgeable

Don’t know if the idea that Nimrod opposed the Lord was a mistranslation is correct. More importantly, I highly doubt Nimrod came from Ninurta. You are definitely on to something with this transformation of Ninurta from agricultural and healing god to a god of war, the question is why? 🤔More importantly, where was Nimrod “king” and why was he linked to Abraham? Answering these questions will show why the influence must have came from Nimrod down the river to Ninurta and not the other way, and why Nimrod was most definitely against the Lord. What we should also all be asking ourselves is what was Nimrod’s tower? Did you know Turkish myths speak of a king who built a tower and shot flaming arrows at the sky? “Opposer”, Adversary indeed.

If you use JUST Genesis, the nephilim were NOT the offspring of mortals and angels Re-read the text.....the nephilim were on the earth in those days (in the days when god saw that mortal desires of the heart were evil), AND ALSO AFTER when the sons of Elohim would take the daughters of man and have children. This text clearly shows that the nephilim were on the earth BEFORE the sons of elohim had children. AND, there is question concerning who the sons of elohim were......to those who claim that they were angels, I challenge anyone to find a case where the text CLEARLY identifies the sons of god as angels......if you do a phrase search of sons/children of God, you will see that EVERY TIME they are clearly identified, they are universally HUMAN.....true followers of god, but human none the less And as for Nimrod's origins......the son of Ham.....so, are you claiming that his "MOTHER" was an angel?

The founder of Babylon huh. How much of the old testament was written during or after their captivity in Babylon? It's no wonder they were cast as the enemy. Nimrod might be linked with Osiris, who was chopped into 14 pieces by Seth. There was an extra biblical work that depicted the same thing happening to Nimrod by Shem. The various pieces of his body were each sent to different nations as a political statement. Osiris was also linked with Asshur, if I'm not mistaken.

Gilgamesh and Nimrod is like Megatron & Galvatron.

Reminds me of " The Tower of Babel", by Spyro Gyra.

Fair do's, you seem to have REALLY upped your game. good script, great picture research and AI illustration! I could have done without the shots of egyptian temples when you are talking about Mesopotamia!

I found your channel or rather it found me I have already listened to a couple of your videos..im curious to know what your beliefs are on how mankind came into existence and what do you base these beliefs on? If you could direct me to one of your videos that best explains your beliefs as this is all very interesting to me..thank you

Thank for sharing this information.

What this segment isn't grasping or not exploring is the impossibility of these lineages and what is going on in their telling. Such as Gilgamesh's grandfather founding Babylon. That is flatly not possible. Because Ur, Uruk, Eridu, Lagash, Umma, Kish, Nippur, these city states were and had been sophisticaled civilizations of walled cities and palaces a solid 3,000 years befor Babylon was founded as a village.

Ancient Hungarians lived in multiple places. They have direct ties to the Trojans, Etruscans, and also have roots in Northern Mesopotamia in the land of Subartu. It is believed that Nimrod was the first Hungarian king fathering 2 sons named Hunor and Magor from who descended the Huns and Magyars.

Or nimrod could be naboo marduk brother who was by his side while building babel
