The Neo-Elamite Period - Elam vs. Assyria (1100 - 550 BC) | Supplemental Podcast #6

In this podcast we cover the last centuries of what was once an independent and powerful Elam. During what's known as the Neo-Elamite period (1100-550 BC), Elam went on a steady decline until it's near destruction at the hands of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. This is the story of the last kings of Elam and the final end of their conflict with the peoples and empires of neighboring Babylonia and Assyria.

It's actually the Assyrian King describing the Babylonians and Elamites crapping themselves.

Elam is a civilisation that isn’t talked about enough, it was such a big player.

[@elguido]

In case you were wondering: yes, the inscription does say that they pooped the chariots. It took me a couple weeks of learning Akkadian and cuneiform, googling around, and translating, but in the end I sorted out the section and confirmed the translations. The relevant text is between lines 30 to 32 of Sennacherib’s prism Column VI: Ŝi-na-te-ŝu-un (urine) ú-zar-ra-bu (involuntary discharge) ki-rib (inside) narkabâte-ŝu-nu (their chariots) ú-maŝ-ŝe-ru-ni (release, abandon) zu-u-ŝu-un (feces) In “Metaphors of massacre in Assyrian Royal Inscriptions”, Marc van de Mieroop translates the section as “They passed hot urine and dropped their excrement inside their chariots”. He further points out that in the fourth version (D) of Sennacherib’s eighth campaign account, although much abbreviation and omission of images happened, the pooping is the only image that is conserved. Please don’t judge how I administer my free time XD

Just on a bigger scale I guess. Or it’s just that mafia systems are set up exactly like any human civilization, as it’s a good set up to accomplish certain goals.

Hi, thanks for stopping by and for the question, appreciate it. No, not to my knowledge unless some of them adopted it much later after contact with various Iranian peoples. Historically from what we know based on various texts, their religion for the most part was very similar to that of their neighbors in Mesopotamia, though they had their own national gods/goddess and some interesting rituals...their religious architecture as described in texts was unique and some sites described as having "horns" but what the significant of them were isn't know nor to my knowledge have the remains of such objects ever been found (probably were destroyed over time).

If you read genesis 10 you will learn about Elam in verse 22. Following shems descendents at verse 25 Pe'leg's name means earth divided. Joktan ends with the chapter, but the bible is Pe'legs history leading to the messiah. Why was earth divided, over what? Elam, joktan, cush and nimrod all lived together at the same time. The division was we with nimrod or we with Jehovah. The story of Pe'leg starts at chapter 11. Peace and agap'e.

I guess if you CY a ancestor search via dna I guess it would not be a coinsidense you would find yourself as a person with the dna sumerian scribe or even royal.

Cy is Elam in Iraq 🇮🇶?

[@HistorywithCy]

Hi, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it. No, Elam is in southwestern Iran. Have a great New Year, stay safe!

You actually look about what I figured you'd look like. You're a handsome dude, Cy!

[@HistorywithCy]

Haha thanks... hope you liked the video podcast as well! Thanks so much for stopping by, really appreciate it! More to come, stay safe!

[@widowmaker4976]

​@@HistorywithCy Honestly, you're covering periods of history that I'm massively a fan of. You're like the only guy I can remember off-hand who even touches the Lydians. I love the Lydians! Fun fact, did you know that the Lydians were somewhat famous for their archers?

Ashurbanipal seems like the Hitler of his day, and that's by his own (probably great exaggerated) words!

DUDE I WOULD HV NEVER IMAGINED YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DO😅

[@bredmond812]

He looks 100% like I imagined. You can hear in the way he says the names that he is a native speaker of some Semitic language, and he doesn't sound very big.

[@Daniel-sm5vy]

I thought he was white lol

[@HistorywithCy]

Haha I'll take that as a compliment I guess? Yeah just thougt I'd surprise you all. With regard to Brandon's comment, I'm not a native speaker of any Semitic language, but I have studied some of them which has helped me with the pronunciation of some of words and names that I come across, especially from Babylonia/Assyria. Haha with regard to being big? I remember my doctor saying some time back that I'm average height for an American. Anyway, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it...stay safe y'all!

[@bredmond812]

@@HistorywithCy You are not a native speaker of a Semetic language? Interesting. Do you speak any other languages? By big, i mean over 6 feet and over 220 pounds.

[@HistorywithCy]

@@bredmond812 haha no, definitely not over 6 feet. Yeah, I also speak Portuguese, Spanish and some German, Persian, Gujarati and Hindi...it comes from living in different places and a love of learning different languages.

[@hermescarraro3393]

YOU HAVE A FACE!!!??? 😐😂 Just kidding. Really liked your stuff on Elam. pretty fascinating stuff there. Their mythology was surprisingly unique from what I have seen, their gods were quite different from the gods of the surrounding more mesopotamian-like cultures. I wonder what connection they had with the indo-iranians, since they boasted about their supposed relationship. Oh. Btw. Look at this cool drawing I found! twitter.com/y_ahriman/status/1311606057530208256?s=19 Pretty cool huh? 💁
