20 years ago, before internet, we learned in school about ancient Mesopotamians in a glance, very fast. With internet you can have detailed study of every era and region.

I loved this, finally some actual history about sumeria, not involving aliens or thinga like that

Finally some real history about Sumeria 👍 So sick of viper TV and all those other bullshit 'history channels' with their crazy stories about space travel etc

Great lecture as always. One quibble: cuneiform isn't a language, it's a writing system. The languages you're discussing are Sumerian and Akkadian, both of which were written in cuneiform.

Peace and love for this channel ......... I, as an Iraqi, want to translate this topic, please

Thank you so much, i want you to know how much i value what you are doing. Because i am homeless, it is almost impossible for me to keep track of my books. Reading is massive part of my life - i love the library but as i stated. Keeping track of a book is tough and for now i am relying on this as well as other e sources of knowledge and info. I am slow. Listened to this twice because i want to understand. Again, thanks

this podcast has exactly what I've been looking for in history documentaries or history online courses. Detail, so much detail, i feel like everything else ive watched or listened to jumps to the next age/tribe/religion way too quickly and I don't get a good sense of who a people are. Thank you so much for this podcast,

Very interesting and useful, images and narration text match nicely. This is well done others just rattle on with video that has nothing to do with the narration, congrats.
