The Complete and Concise History of the Sumerians and Early Bronze Age Mesopotamia (7000-2000 BC)

It's amazing how you can get this kind of stuff for free on YouTube. Thank you for the work you put into this amazing educational content!

Sumerian culture makes me feel so emotional for some reason. Great doc!

I heard the giggle he tried to hide around 50:50 when he had to say Dudu twice. It made me smile because I was giggling a little too. It's okay to giggle at little things like that. Made me like him more. Love this video by the way. So informative and so well thought out and put together. Thank you.

am an Iraqi citizen. I tell you that there are wonders and wonders in Iraq. In Iraq, there are in every civilization ax and traces of the Sumerians and Babylonians. Talking about Iraq does not end because it is the origin of humanity. Faithful revealed the prophets and messengers. And you, as a European citizen, thank you for this work and spreading the history of Iraq, and that it is not only the history of Iraq, but the history of mankind. thank you brother. I am from the city of Nasiriyah (the city of Ur).

Thanks for your work. I know you are under appreciated but as a history lover like most of your followers we really are grateful for your efforts and production

I'm in my sixties. I still remember studying Mesopotamia and the Sumerians at school, although I mostly remember hating it and and history in general. Was it the method? I don't remember. All I do know is that I'm lucky to still be alive when this kind of content is now available anywhere, any time, and, like in this case, presented so well that it is impossible to not love it. Thank you for the hard work and yay to youtube that has finally giving me a love of history and archaeology.

That was EXCELLENT! I enjoyed this thoroughly…the music volume and beats were spot on perfect…voice was clear with the right tempo and the visuals pulling it all together. I also noted that you correlated works of art and their museum home with the story and details as we can decipher thus far. It really changes the stone piece into something that connects you to a distant past; having it preserved illustrates how we regard our beginnings to be precious and a story that is long and ever unfolding. Thank you so much!

Excellent content! You managed to really put the sumerian culture into context in terms of what came before it and also the lands and cultures surrounding it. Not just as an emergent first civilization as some portray it. Great job!

Dear God. This is epic. Just epic. Whole hour. I can't say how grateful I am.

SUPERB!! This brought back memories of spending my days, was unemployed in the British Library, London, studying the Sumerians! No access to glorious information like this back then! Just heavy tomes which I carted about the library and made copious hand-written notes from! I don't know why I've never watched anything before about the Sumerians. I'll certainly be watching more of your videos. Thanks so much for a thorough and enlightening programme! I had remembered some facts incorrectly, and never really knew before now, just how Sumerian culture met its end. Thanks...

This channel is incredible. I’ve been heavily studying Neolithic and Bronze Age civilizations for the past few months to get a handle on our ancient past and your channel has been a huge adjunct to my readings. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos

This is such a great overview of the Sumerian civilisation! Thanks for compiling all this information and making it available!

No aliens? No extra planets? No electricity? No time-travel? No communication arrays? Not one mention of a handbag!? Just what I needed. Thank you, good sir. :)

This has to be the one of the best historical videos on YouTube. You covered so many topics. And it’s clear you’d never be done covering them had you continued. I learned a lot.

I've been searching this subject and this is the best organized, most detailed video I've found. Thanks for giving me the structure to hang the other stuff on.

What a great video. I have been on archaeological digs in these regions. This content offered here is almost as good as being there. Thank you

The line from the king list “Who was king? Who wasn’t king?” is honestly one of my favorite things ever

Wow what an ambitious video! Kicking my feet up and cracking open a cold one... this is gonna be good.

I really appreciate the work that went into the animation for this video. I have had lots of exposure to this material in the past and it makes a lot more sense with the pictures and icons. I like the video game feel to all of these videos even though I am not into video games. The creativeness in the images helps reinforce the facts. I have gotten a lot out of these videos thus far after subscribing to this channel even though most of this I already know.

I cannot thank you enough. I have learned from this 1 hour video much more than from years of study. I'm sure it took a lot of effort to make, with all the searching and animations. Videos like this make me thank to Enlil and all the Gods for the existence of Youtube.
