Civilisations- Mesopotamia [1/6]

Mesopotamia, or ‘the country between two rivers’, is the oldest civilisation to have flourished at the confluence of two rivers: the and the Euphrates. The Mesopotamians included various peoples, the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Akkadians, who coexisted and succeeded one another, mixing and inter-relating in a Near East with a wide range of racial facets. These different peoples, who once lived along the banks of the two rivers, have left behind an archaeological heritage of inestimable value.How did they flourish in such a hostile environment? Where did their wealth come from? And how did this perfectly structured civilisation finally fade and disappear for ever? This popular series gives new insights into some of the most influential civilisations to shape the world as we know it. To understand where we are , it might help to understand where we have been.

  3. @dandoman01 Yes but, it’s like saying Communism’s founding was in Israel because Jewish European scholar had Jewish ancestors from the fertile crescent.

  4. Saddams weapons of mass destruction was really a Annunaki UFO. Believe it or not its true.

    good day

  5. @BlueWaveOfLight The Old Testament is part of the Christian faith, even if it isn’t as important. That’s why it plays a crucial part in the founding of Christianity.

  7. I probably could have learned a lot just now if someone had bothered to subtitle the French portion.

  8. If the narrator speaks English at least the producers could have done is put english subtitles at the bottom so none french can understand what is being said by other speakers

  9. @srhanna yes it has “a 90’s feel” to it, very objective,you won’t see that nowadays

  10. I’m not french but I can understand a little he says we think everything started with the greeks but that mesopotamia was not only the first civilization but that it was also very developed very diverse and very experienced, in that they had already experienced different social structures and ways of life or something like that
    he also says they depended on the two rivers which had become their main source of transportation of goods between 2 very different economies that complemented each other

  13. @onoaptelunga Sorry but the first civilization of the planet was in the Nile valley. All the oldest human remains building temples text and etc are found in Africa. The so-called middle east today used to be a part of Africa.

  16. WARNING! Don’t watch this piece of shit video, unless you can understand both English and French. The uploader didn’t have the commonsense to warn you, so I have to.

  17. @turxxx Now, Huck, a dog, do it talk like a dog or cat? Or a cow, how do it talk? And a cat, what do it do? So, why can’t a French man speak English? sorta paraphrased from Jim and Huck. 2 early 19th C. philosophers

  20. (Amigo obrigado por postar isso).
    Friend Iam thankful for put it.
    the knowledge is very important to our, begin human.
    keep doing this wordeful work.

  21. @texpeare

    The video has been translated. You can receive the gift of knowledge now.

  23. are we to believe this denial of african civilisation? am i really to believe that in the long and complex history of mankind of earth man first hit upon the relationship between the stars and the seasons outside his home of africa, in mesopetamia only 6 thousand years ago? look at the earleir known achievements of man… i believe we constantly undermine and downplay the capabilities of our ancestors – its like before monotheism we were incapable of anything significant – not true, just think?!

  24. @turxxx you ought to be able to understand a bit of french mate, it is the second language of the world afterall… shouldn’t require a warning, you’re watching an academic documentry mate… a certain level of knowledge and understanding will be assumed therefore… most educated people i know can speak and understand french well enough not to be so outraged as you appear to be… this video is not ‘a piece of shit’ rather you are! grow up and get educated!

  26. Incredible, that’s exactly what I was seeking for! You just spared me alot of work
