Questions
What do you think of the boxes with the time period I was talking about in the upper left-hand corner? Was this helpful or distracting/cluttered looking?
Also, what do you think of no music in this video?
Let me know what you think :) -
Ancient Mesopotamians had the most magnificent beards in history.
-
I'm proud to say, I'm an Assyrian From Iraq and now living in USA. My grandparents were from Van, Turkey. I enjoy learning my rich history. Thank you for posting this video!
-
as a Greek/Assyrian I thank you for simply mentioning that we still exist today showing some pictures and most importantly that we are a distinct people
-
Thank you for that. When I first entered college my history instructor said Assyrians were extinct. I quickly stood up and corrected him as I am 90% Assyrian and 10% Armenian. This was in 1965.
-
Mesopotamian ancient history is so rich. I can't get enough of it.
-
The Fall of Nineveh from the greatest city the world had ever seen to an uninhabited ruin at the very peak of its power is one of the great events in history that rarely gets mentioned.

Great video.
Ashurbanipal is also famous for the great library he founded in Nineveh. He tried to collect all the books (clay tablets) he could. Alexander attempted to imitate him later with his great library in Alexandria, Egypt.
Very much of what we now know of Sumer, Akkad, and Assyria comes from the clay tablets collected and preserved so well by Ashurbanipal. -
I met a couple of Assyrians when I was in Iraq and didn't understand how they were still there, but they are. Thanks for the info because it now makes sense. Good video with lots of Info.

To my Assyrians friends, despite what has happened in Iraq, you are still here after thousands of years. You people are a testament to perservience and resilience. Keep up the struggle. One day you will have your land back. You have always had time.
-
Aaayyyyyyyy. Nice to see a history channel finally discussing the Assyrians. Keep up the good work
-
You forget to mention that epic facial hair the Assyrians had. Their military prowess was directly related to the epicness of their beards.
