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 thoroughlyâŚthe music volume and beats were spot on perfectâŚvoice 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!

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.

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...

As customary, I loved this meticulously researched documentary. Incidentally, Pietro della Valle (1586-1652) was the first European who found the ruins of UR, while travelling through Mesopotamia along with his Assyrian Christian wife in 1625. Because at that time the Persian and Ottoman empires were at war over the rule of Bagdad, his travelling guides suggested that they located a site in order to hide from a suspicious group of men, who looked as though they were galloping in their direction. As such, by sheer coincidence they "stumbled" upon a huge structure in their horizon, to which they flocked and where they spent a few days. Della Valle was fascinated by the monumental size and quality of the huge walls as well as to the multitude of cuneiform writings which appeared throughout the site. Thanks for yet another wonderful upload.

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).
