The Ancient Middle East: Every Year
This video shows the history of the Middle East from the rise of the city-states in 2500 BCE to the fall of Egypt to Persia in 525 BCE. This covers such events as the conquests of Sargon of Akkad, Ur-Namu of Ur, and Hamurabi of Babylon, as well as the various Assyrian and Egyptian kingdoms, and other great powers, including the Hittites, Hurrian-Mitanni, and Israel.

Can you maybe if you do these videos use the right terms? Its not Middle East. It is called West Asia.
The PKK’s first program, issued in 1978, states, “Our people first attempted to reside on our land in the first millennium bce, when the Medes, progenitors of our nation, stepped onto the stage of history.” When Kurds try to legitimize their rights as a nation to live in Kurdistan, their arguments tend to rest on territorial settlement rather than consanguineous ancestry. But assumptions about continuous Kurdish settlement and descent from the Medes entered the collective understanding long ago.” p. 2 Van Bruinessen, Martin. Kurdish notables and the Ottoman state: Evolving Identities, Competing Loyalties, and Shifting Boundaries, p 25 “Though some Kurdish intellectuals claim that their people are descended from the Medes, there is no evidence to permit such a connection across the considerable gap in time between the political dominance of the Medes and the first attestation of the Kurds.” White, Paul J. “Observations on Kurdish Origins.” Vol 1. Journal of Arabic, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, 1993. “This view is disputed by others, most notably by D. N. Mackenzie, who objects primarily on philological grounds, due to the uncertainty of historical data. In Mackenzie’s view, the Kurdish language (and, by implication, the Kurds themselves) is probably closer to Persian than to the language of the Medes” “Other areas around the north-west and western shore of the Caspian Sea and in Central Iran were not called Kurdish, although some of these dialects are related to Kermanjî. But over a wide area the name of Kurd embraced that of Mede and of other Aryan tribes. I would suggest that the name Mede was absorbed under the Kurds in a way reminiscent of developments in France, where the name of Frank superseded that of Gaul.” “The identification of Kurds with Aryans and/or Medes must, admittedly, be viewed in the context of the process of nation-building, being mainly a reaction against Turkish nationalism’s denial of Kurds’ distinct nationhood. The linkage with the Medes is used to engage the official claim that Kurds are of Turkish origin. The myth of the Medes is mainly used as a tool to politically mobilize Kurds by the PKK.” Hennerbichler, Ferdinand. (2012). The Origin of Kurds. Advances in Anthropology. 02. 10.4236/aa.2012. 22008. p. 64 “David McDowall approves the prehistoric origin of the Kurds, he refuses to see Kurds as a unified entity until the last century, arguing that they existed as an identifiable group for possible more that 2000 years… it was only in the early years of the twentieth century that they acquired a sense of community as Kurds.” “The view on the Median origin of the Kurds has been an important element of the Kurdish social and political discourse since their national awakening. The genetic affiliation between the Kurds and their language and the ancient Medians has always been regarded as an absolute and incontestable truth for most Kurdish authors (cf., e.g., Wahby 1964; Vanly 1988; and many others). In the academic scholarship, as far as I know, V. Minorsky was the only adept of this theory.” p. 21. “Turning from the regions of mythology to the historian finds scarcely less uncertainty in it by the early inquirers on the racial con Abu-'l-Fida, bimself a Kurd, states that he h the Kurds were Arabs or Nabataeans, while Persian Arabs, from the similarity between the that of the ordinary nomad Arab; but he see with the Jill and the Dailami as a Persian traveller, records that he was told in Persia of Arab origin,2 in which view Ibn-ul-Athir are those of Abu-'l-Faraj, who idenbified the and of some Armenian writers, who seem to and the Medes” p. 493 Galip, Özlem Belçim.

That very earliest interaction between the Sumerian city states - here represented only as a fleeting frame - is such a... magical era in human history. Each city is a country, as the whole perception of "country" "kingdom" "land" must be understood for its time and place, and I always imagined it would make for the most amazing computer game - both grand strategy, where you micromanage either of these main city-states and their various numerous minor satellites - or yet better, a role-play game, where you walk (no riding!) between these places, questing for either the priests and priestesses, kings or god-kings - or maybe even for the Sumerian gods themselves! Obviously, such an endevour taken into reality would be changed into something stupid and unrealistic, horseriding forced in, catapults, Roman-era armors etc, and I would probably hate it, and regret I ever wanted anything like it, so... maybe it's just as well that it does not exist. But, it's among my favorite historical periods.

@Extra Extra been studying history for a long time, that's the first time I've heard of that. I wouldn't mind some sources if u can find some.
@Extra Extra King Vikramaditya certainly did exist, but he probably did not rule over all of that area. The leading theory is that “Vikramaditya” is an Arya-Iranic name for quite a few Hindu rulers from Mitanni/West Armenia (present day Lazi district), to Afghanistan, to West Asia, and Indonesia. These rulers didn’t rule a singular state that stretched from anatolia to Indonesia, normdid they exist in the same time period. They were just Hindu (or whatever relative of Hinduism existed in Anatolia at the time), and as such were given similiar names. This confused historical accounts causing the Vikramaditya myth.

The interesting thing is that what made Persia a big empire, uniting all these small kingdoms into a big empire is the Idea that we now call "Iranshahr thinking" in the universities, the union of many peoples with different races, ethnic groups. , culture and different gods

Tony, in some records they say that the Ancient Armenians did not enter the Middle East until around 1500BC. Is that true?
@Edward Minaei Armenians are indo europeans, they came to the middle east before the persian by a short time, persians came around 900bc, middle east was inhabited by assyrians, bablonians, arabs, sumerians.....
But Armenians are Indo-Europeans and Babylonians are Semites.

That's probably what they would've been based on, at least de facto.

No wars, no treaties, no castles. Sort of an isolated community.

i agree, as a Syrian id say we have very different traditions and mentality to the people from the Arabian peninsula or north Africa, i consider myself closer to the the Levant (east Mediterranean) region and culture, however i have to say many people who are uneducated or just a proud Muslims would say that they are proudly arab (nothing is wrong with that ofocurse) but as an educated person my self i know its simply not true.
well, from your name i guess you are kurd, thats cool, and i dont know why a Syrian arab would be fucked up, im sure there is Arabs, kurds, Palestinians, muslims christians or whatever, we all have fucked up people, clearly, just look at the middle east ;)
i dont hate Kurds too, but im Sure many many syrians hate kurds, because the Syrian government propaganda has always told us to hate kurds and Israelis, i am an educated person i dont believe that rubbish, and many syrians are also educated, but some are ignorance and they hate on everyone.
Martin Kian well , that depend on what you mean by the word Arabs . if you mean the ethnic Arabs who are the Semitic tribes who came from Arabia and settled Iraq and Syria , then Assyrians , Canaanites , Phoenicians , even Jews (the real ones ) are Arabs . and most of Syria and Iraq today are ethnic Arabs except Lebanese and Palestinians . they are a mixture between ethnic Arabs and crusaders .

It's amazing how small tribes formed into empires. Then Conquered and had wars towards other empires. This just shows you that It's not just about the Roman Empire. There is more in depth of history as the spread of native people in towards empires. The Egyptian Empire was one of the most entertaining empire. It was formed into a small area of base, then proceeded to get bigger. Then, got conquered and re-conquered. It's amazing; good work and props on the video.

Can you do the History of Iberia?
I like that
There may be a video out there that does just that.
Yes make video about both Iberia will be interesting
After 1492 there will be only french occupation
dont you mean during the 1800's? after 1492 spain started beating the french hard on italy and aragon recovered the rosellon as well as conquering navarra
what program are you doing this with?
Excellent job ! What about the semites 30k BC in middle east ? Is this relevant ?
sometimes you wonder how accurate our records are of these times long ago
most of the times you realize that almost always you are limited to very few sources, taking the romans and carthage as an example, we know carthage existed, we know they fought, but what do we know of carthage ? we have a few signs of their scripture left, but not even close to enough to restore the language, we only know pretty much what the romans told us about carthage. do we believe it though, do we believe that the people of carthage regularly sacrificed children to their gods ? we cannot assume it to be correct, we can neither assume it to be entirely wrong, because we have no sources left that can tell us if it was wrong or correct, only the romans who very well might have been lying considering they were sort of on hostile grounds if you know what i mean.
I mean, as a fan of mapping videos, it's very shaky in general. Ten fold when you try to depict times before the Bronze Age :)
Apokalypse456 it saddens me when emperors burn down libraries or destroy cultural artifacts like in Mao's cultural revolution. 😭
@@Apokalypse456 Romans & Carthage - both Phoenician. Allegedly Carthage lost to Rome, but only then was the Roman Empire formed. From there the conquests went on to Europe. It's the baal worshipping, child sacrificing Phoenicians behind it all the whole time. They are in control to this day. They just take on different masks.

In this time they were not Turks in middle east but Greeks! So many great cultures.. Assyrians, Armenians, Persians, Greeks and Arabs
no greeks either, there were anatolians and hittites and armenians

They are still here?

@@moroccanfreethinker2739 Are you serious? Greeks controlled anatolia and part of middle east for many years
Assyrians really be learning from their mistakes

That was awesome, what happens after this till now
Awesome video as usual. Can you do one about West Africa? I could help you out with that too if you'd like. That would be super awesome.
Sorry, but I probably won't do that, because I've already done Africa as a whole: kzhead.info/sun/gd6Elc6CgKmfmH0/bejne.html I hope you understand :(
yep
Ollie Bye I know you did but Africa is a huge continent. So you weren't able to really fully dissect some regions. You've done videos like "history of the British Islands" things like that. I just think doing videos for particular parts of Africa will help erase the negative images of Africa lacking a history. People tend to club the second largest and most culturally diverse continent into one giant mass rather than exploring the insanely large amount of history and diversity there.
From Nothing Yes, that's a good point. Well I'll let you know if I decide to go ahead with it.
Ollie Bye Thank you. I love your videos!
