Everything is great about this documentary, except the comments about the Christian bible. The authors of the bible are not poets. Have some respect for our holy book. You may mot believe, but it doesn’t give you the right to disrespect.

In the dusts of Iraq, the ruins of the world's first civilization lie buried.
The oldest city was in America
This episode, we travel into the extremely distant past to look at the Sumerians. These ancient people invented writing and mathematics, and built some of the largest cities that the world had ever seen. Find out about the mystery of their origins, and learn how they rose from humble beginnings to form the foundation of all our modern societies. With myths, proverbs and even some recreated Sumerian music, travel back to where it all began, and find out how humanity's first civilization fell.
** Fall of Civilizations the book is now available to pre-order: linktr.ee/fallofcivilizations **
The Sumarians clearly state they inharited everything

I've been fascinated by ancient history since I was a kid but my knowledge always got fuzzy around this time period. This video made me grasp the Summerian civilization like never before, thank you!❤

Thanks for the splendid work, sir. I came expecting a "normal" class on Sumerian history and people, and left with eyes watered and shivers. To think that their clay tablets survived millenia and somehow the knowledge and stories contained reached me in Brazil is astonishing. This is one of the best videos I've ever watched, I can't express on words the extent of my gratitude.

@ericamussey6236Now you understand why the West wants to destroy these places and the ancient history that was rooted behind them..
@A_Different_Kind_Of_TruthWonderful ... truly wonderful.
@MerioNymosSumerian civilization is so old that Babalon had legends about it, that is truly mind-blowing.
@StoriesfromHistory51The fact that the greatest city at the dawn of humanity is only at 2.5 square kilometers, a medium sized town is bigger than that. Actually insane

Sumerians are Iranians. Sumerians ruled black heads you should translate correctly.
@Adelgunde_von_WinterbachWe all sprang from apes, but you Anglo-Americans didn't spring far enough. Football isn’t England’s national sport. Apologising is.
What do a unicorn and an English genius have in common? You hear about them more than you see them.
The English brag about ‘ancient history’ and then point to a castle from 1400. A Greek looks at that and says, ‘Ah, yes… modern architecture.😂
One of my favourite podcasts, literally in my top 5. Shout out if you're listening to this more than once, 5 years later, in 2026!
@JMA69Ibi sinn took the throne in 2028 🤔?
@AlanJohnBurke-bh5lb52:46 "They often had to borrow food or silver from predatory money lenders at crushing interest rates of as high as 30 percent." 😅😅 sounds familiar

GETI=GETAE) WERE SO-CALLED "GUTI" AND THEY DESTROYED THE SUMERIAN AND ACADIAN EMPIRE
@florinferrocius.If you believe in the Bible , then you know a fallen angel hybrid taught them the mysteries --demonic !
@ericcleesak8074It's incredible to think that the first cities in human history weren't destined to last forever. Even the civilization that helped invent urban life eventually faced the same challenge as every empire: decline.
@silent_stories_of_scriptureGreat video!
@AironSmieciowy-di3qyYum. All those tasty palms. Enough food to lift from earth on gassy days and orbit the moon, in special planes beware made of cowdung. Fascinating. With a Z we make yalpa. With Y we dream of soup in blue frequencies
@thomasthorstensson9998Let us go then down in to Parthya and rescue Aun our sister, so that the lou's and the kieth's. will say" Aun nah aki,"for her kin has rescude her." Then let us harbor in our Island, then remove all our brothers and nephews, captives. The Mashas and Pashas. We will, make them one with us, so they can be free. From this Harbor our island. Lets prepare the cauffers, at the Snake and Niagra rivers. Let the spill way be, the three rivers. One in three parts of the ocean. We will keep there on north America. For when these Parthyans should go forth to attack us. We will let loose those Caufffers and then drown them. As we seek further reffuge, on the tall mountauns of the Alps.Joel Ramirez. The Atlantians.
@eningtu6291Thank you I enjoyed this podcast and so meny more
@David-q8x3dIndia Noah’s people didn’t listen Pangea split up History restarted. 8000 years ago
@COZYBEDZ-q3kIt wasn’t desert at the time. Why do you think things have remained static over the tears? Not one would settle a dessert. It was green and still lush after Noah ‘s flood , but drained off and became desert. It’s sad that you ASSUME that humans started out as ignorant brutes, and that you hate to make up idiotic fairy tales of how cities began. Dying of laughter here.
@Cjbrk-x63A real Sumerian documentary without aliens? You have my respect and gratitude..
@TheSumerianCipherIs it my imagination but does not the aerial view of Uruk (min 2:16:45) define a shape? Is that a long armed paw by anywise?
@joecitizen39552016 I was in Ventura County jail taking care of an infraction from a DUI I got in 2007. Long story short I am a Christian and this one night a gang banger came to my jail cell telling me if I don't change my housing by breakfast and when the cell doors open in the morning for breakfast she was gonna beat me up. Now this started a riot in the housing unit the day room was packed out with triple decker bunk beds and everything and everyone was yelling I got her shoes I was crying and telling the jailer to move my housing and he said there was no where to move me. So I grabbed my study Bible and started reading The book of Psalms at the top of my lungs to drown out the yelling and all the noise until I heard someone in the day room yell out all ominous and scared: "What's she doing!!!???
My bunky yelled back answering her: "She's reading her Bible!"
I thought: " what's going on? What are they all scared about?"
So I stopped reading to listen to what all the commotion was about. 🤔😯😯😯
😳😳🤯🤯🤯🫣😱🤫
IT WAS SILENT, YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP!!!
MY BUNKY'S MOUTH WAS MOVING BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND COMING OUT OF HER!
I was surprised and peaceful I felt totally safe and after awhile everyone went back to doing what they were previously doing prior to the disturbance of that girl's threats it violence to me. And one by one people regained their voice.
In the morning the girl was not even concerned with me. 😮😮😮WOW!!
Thought Africa, wss the "Cradle of Civilization?"
@lushuslegsYes, you said KURDISTAN
@Hasyuk2011Thank you very much for the time effort and research that you Putin to making these top quality videos.
@vectravi2008Finally a decent documentary!
@calicored3076As to why they started civilizations where it is hot and dry: when you don't have ability to make heavy clothing well you live where you don't need those clothes.
@MrMarshall7491This is the true spirit of youtube
@viperviperviper2I don’t know how often over the years I am coming back to this piece of historical art. And every time I fall deeper in love with the parts I know and find new pieces to wonder about. Finally the last reference of Gilgamesh, Enkidus dream of the House of darkness, how it is told, the music and the view of the Zikurrat - it gives me goose bumps every time.
@henryplantagenet219Isn’t the obvious answer that these first kings were beings that lived for tens of thousands of years?
@SlimJimIce80The flood happened just as the Bible says that it did. That is why so many other civilizations also have stories of a flood.

Sorry I know it's random
Irving Finkle at British Museum is the foremost expert on Sumer and Babylon he can read the clay tablets and knows the stories from.source including the Flood, the game that backgammon is structured on (worlds oldest board dice game), how to get rid of a ghost. It is a fascinating civilization.
@WindTurbineSyndromeParts of the world that have been lived in for millennia have a certain feel to them.
@ralphfisher-d5jIt's real...😮😅❤😊
