I would love to see more videos on ancient marriage and family customs its always fascinating to see how people of the past former relationships and families compared to our own times

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you Cy, a fantastic video, looking forward to more!

Marriage has always been one of the most important financial decisions, even now.

Danny Hussain's voice for Herodotus brought a smile. Henceforth, his must be the only voice for him.

It's probably a description of a slave market with fantastic details, very realistic, especially if farmers trying to sell their daughters which was also common at the time. Remember that as recently as 2017 there were such markets in Mossul and Raqqa (not that far from Babylon) under ISIS with captured women sold to the highest bidder. Also selling daughters exist unofficially in the middle-east today.

In this, Herodotus follows the Greek habit of putting forward one's own bright idea as an established, ancient and successful custom elsewhere. Plato's Atlantis is the most famous and extreme example.

Read this many years ago, in Herodotus' Histories, and it stood out as unusual and very structured. Although I got the impression this was something happening in a specific small town or area, and that it was a village elder telling him about it being a past custom. As were many of the stories he recorded.

I've recently found your channel and have been hooked ever since. Probably one of the most complete, thorough and documented (sources included!) history channel on YT. However, I wonder if anybody did a research on how the food and its cooking evolved in a society, Sumerian as a matter of fact, and how it permeated other people cultures to finally make it to present days. As an example, until four or five decades back, there was a refreshing beverage named "Braga" or "Bouz" in the Balcan countries: Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and all the neighboring countries, which belonged at some point to the Otoman Empire. It was a fermented, sweet and sour beverage made out of wheat bran, barley or corn . It was delicious, especially in hot summer days. Trying to replicate it, I found out that the recipe is quite similar to what is called Sumerian beer. It is quite possible, in my opinion, that the recipe found its way to the Balcans until nowadays via the Turks, from the Persians and so on. To make it short, if we look from the food point of view, we all have more to share, and that goes back centuries and millennia, rather than fight upon. I could go on and on, but I think you got my point.

Always happy to learn anything about ancient times I did not yet know:) Thanks for making this video! And thanks to the patrons for funding it! <3

Just wanted to comment and say how thankful I am for your content. I wanted to learn more about Lebanon in the ancient world, and your series on the Canaanites was exactly what I needed. Thanks for all you do!

Hammurabi laws seem pretty close to modern laws in many countries. Wonder how far back the dowry custom goes.

I like the ancient googly eye statues.

Hello Cy, nice video! Maybe you could make one talking about the prophecy of Marduk, and how every king who stole the statue was killed by his own family members (from Mursili I to Xerxes)

Thank you for educating us as always!

This makes me very impressed with Hammurabi's Law Code, and makes me wonder why the only detail commonly mentioned about it is the eye for an eye stuff... this makes it seem like that is a bit of an outlier.

Very impressive churning out three new topic and longer shows this past month. I am grateful!

The title was very misleading. Would've watched video on marriage customs in Babylonia but this wasn't advertised by the title. Was actually surprised that it took a turn from the Market topic.

Great episode! Been waiting on this one.

The practise of arranged marriages is still practised all around the world. What is interesting is that the woman had a protected position in this story. A dowry can be seen in many cultures as well today and persists in symbolic gifts in modern societies. Also the fact that a contract had to be made implies widespread literacy and bureaucracy.
