Amorite Kingdoms and the Sumerian Renaissance - Ancient Mesopotamia DOCUMENTARY

In the previous episode of our historical animated documentary series on the history of Ancient Mesopotamia we discussed the rise and fall of the first empire in history - The Akkadian Empire. Its great rulers from Sargon to Naram-Sin broke the mold and set in motion a way of running a state which would be emulated for thousands of years to come. From this point forward the Empire would be the prominent form of government, however before another could rise in the region a dark age had to be overcome. After the fall of Akkad, the Gutians had established their own dynasty and hegemony in the Euphrates river valley which would set the stage of what was to come. Welcome to our video on the brief ‘Sumerian renaissance’ and the eventual rise of Babylon.

[@UFOSasquatch]

@@amoosebitmymom690 I enjoy some of the Lydian and Minoan stuff for sure. Greece by the time of the Peloponnesian Wars is pretty cool, too i guess.

[@amoosebitmymom690]

@Herdan I just think that while quite a bit of the history and discoveries of Mesopotamia have been mostly lost. Meanwhile, the Greek knowledge (Archimedes, Plato, Homer) have been mostly preserved and in retrospect, they have probably contributed the same (if not slightly more) as ancient Mesopotamia. Don't get me wrong, I acknowledge that Mesopotamia was a vital part and the first step towards advanced civilization, I just think the Greek knowledge was better kept and thus actually contributed more

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

@Forsaken Pumpkin You have a timeframe for this, most Egyptian texts I'm aware of discussed their shock in the size of Greeks..nearly a foot taller, loved trading for the fruits, olives and dates, etc

[@amoosebitmymom690]

@Herdan I completely agree with everything you said, my only point is that because of how ancient it is (at least 1000 years before Athens and Sparta) , many records have been lost that both ancient Mesopotamia and Greece, affected WESTERN civilizations almost exactly the same. Of course ancient Mesopotamia did it earlier, first and better and affected many civilizations (more than greece) but because of how ancient it is (3000 bc) even though many records were found, many were also lost while the Greek knowledge was well kept, and especially with the Roman having been very similar and affected by Greece, in retrospect even though Mesopotamia did it first, did it elegantly and better, through the remaining records of both civilizations they have affected WESTERN civilizations the same. Assuming the Mesopotamian records were as well kept as the Greek`s, then obviously they would've contributed much more

They are both part of the semitic family, as are the ancient Israelites. But they aren‘t further related than that to my knowledge. The Arab people really only started emerging as a power with Mohammed and the rise of Islam in the 7th century AD (CE).

[@umutbruhmoment2534]

@ZaqueHunzahua Science isn't something that just appears out of nowhere, you improve upon previous discoveries. By your logic every scientific discovery is "stolen"

[@msb8792]

ZaqueHunzahua and from the Syriacs, ...etc

[@defendkebab797]

ZaqueHunzahua Do you go around KZbin saying the same thing about for example the Roman Empire stealing from the Greeks? They gave their forces the order to spare Archimedes in the siege of Syracuse so they could use him, Caesar was on his way to study Stoic Logic in Greece before he was captured by pirates. The USA and the Soviets stole German scientists after WWII and used Werner von Braun for NASA, and you can go on and on. Your argument is just plain stupid and an Ahistorical way to try to disprove Islamic contributions to science which they expanded upon.

[@umutbruhmoment2534]

@ZaqueHunzahua If you're still calling it stolen you don't get what I'm saying. Knowledge spreads, by trade, conquest, whatever. And if you actually work upon that knowledge you wouldn't be "stealing" it, that's not how science works. You can't be like "Aha, I got this science! Now nobody else can have it, it's all mine!". And a bunch of nomads can still be patrons of arts and science and settle down relatively fast under the influence of settled people inside their empire to produce arts and science themselves. It's not impossible, it has happened several times in history.

[@mohammedaljinabe1573]

@ZaqueHunzahua those nomads ...translating the Greek manuscripts was the first thing they did when they conquered the land from France to China...did the sasanids translated a single manuscript ??or do we ever hear about a Persian translator...or did the Persian have a manuscript in the first place (they used to send their sons to learn from the romans)also the Islamic scientist used to write poet about the scientist who learned from (the Greek's...very straight forward)did they mentioned a single Persian scientist????as it turns out..you are the thief !!and wants to steal other people achievement!! and another fact any scientist from the Islamic era if he chose to write abook in Persian language (i say if cus even if he were Persian he will not..the most preferred language was Arabic)he will use alot of Arabic vocabulary cus the Persian language is not suitable for scientific research..... You barely have a language...

[@misterscienceguy]

Was used by ancient greeks as well, but that's well after this time either way.

[@johncoldiron6673]

@@misterscienceguy I am not aware of this. To my knowledge the first mention of the name is by the Roman's on or about 135 AD called Syria Palaestina. You may be confused with the name Philistia, the homeland of the Philistines by whom the Roman's named the newly reconquered territory, see above.

[@malachi405]

Just to add my two cents. Philistia was the name of the Philistine homeland -- roughly, what is today, the Gaza Strip. This name was not used only by the Ancient Greeks. It was used by everybody. The Bible uses it too, in Hebrew. The rest of what became Israel was called Cana'an. The Romans renamed the whole thing Syria Palaestina, as John Coldiron describes.

How interesting. Nice that we know about this region at this time. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.

great job ,i just would want to see the geographic realism in the scense used in the vid, its know to the ancient ppl of the area that these rivers where sorrounded by lash forests and grasslands, but after thausands of years of farming the nature, burnings, tsunamies these lands became more and more desert. if you look for really old pictures done in 18th sentury you see an other picture of ancient middle east, which looked alot like India and Crotia!

It is insane how some of these city states, empires and kingdoms existed long before the Indo-European migration of India or Europe.

Woah so much great information. So the more competent older brother was eventually worn down by multiple enemies? I was also wondering which son was involved in the marriage alliance.

Your map is mistaken, it should have said Caanan instead of palestine

Well, I guess Elam will keep coming back for a long time to come. Guess in a way they're one of those traditional rivals for the Sumerians.
