What modern times calls archeology was likely called grave robbing centuries ago

You mentioned “wedge-shaped cuneiform”. That’s redundant.

I have to give The Histocrat credit for filling in much of the commonly left out details of these found artifacts, which tell an essential part of the history. Such as, the order and condition of the artifacts as they were revealed in the digs, as well as the preservation and reconstruction.

Pu-abi always reminded me of Kubaba of Kish of the Third dynasty, who is said to have been a Tavern keeper and beer brewer before becoming queen. Why not 🤷🏽‍♀️

Sounds like the perfect title for a doom metal album :)

I like the subject of your videos the visuals but consider taking some speech training. You say every sentence with EXACTLY the same pronouciation, and that for 70 minutes....

It keeps my from watching the videos.... AFter about 2 minutes it starts getting annoying and hard to watch. (because I hear the same rhytm every time)

Maybe consider using a voice actor! Again, this is constructive critisism. Love the information and the visual resentation of the content.

Better than history channel by far. Great work.

Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating history of civilization's first largest city. Yes most likely priest figures for the early Mesopotamian Deities...the most interesting being the last..possibly grandaughter or daughter of Sargon? First very profound writers that we have a pen name to her writing. Morgan gallery has an incredible large exhibit of female Mesopotamian writers,poets,artwork and portraits thereof. Just mindblowing as how much i could relate to an artist of some four thousand years ago. Absolutely beautiful. Enheduanna. Her writing and this exhibit is a must for those interested.

Great stuff but you have a strange language tick which is very grating, American i think originally, from California, consisting in raising the tone of words inside a sentence when nothing warrants it, instead of at the end for questions. It makes every single sentence sound like questions. Weird and annoying. Are you aware of this? By the way, I studied all this stuff at Harvard with Professor Piotr Steinkeller. My favorite subject, and I will use some stuff you mentioned in my future book (The genesis of diplomacy in the Weltanschauung of the ancient Sumerians).

I love how they have googly eyes

I'm curious about Noah and his wife was she black?

I can only imagine the stress of trying to unearth some of those mosaics and lyres that are in such a delicate state. Thank you for another fascinating episode!
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)

I loved this. Shows how people always exalted others. Still today.

❤❤❤

The following seem likely to me:
1. As it was the older office, Enship would likely continue for some time to hold a higher degree of ritualistic prestige, even during and after the rise of the Lugalship.
2. There is little or no understanding of any kind of distinction between religious ritual and official banquet or procession. Feasts and processions would have been exactly within the realm of "priestly" duties. Though Lugals seem to have accumulated more and more priestly authority over time.
3. The terms "king/queen" almost certainly taint and bias our understanding of the social structures of earliest Mesopotamia. The city-states were not primarily population and commercial centers governed by a political elite. The were primarily temple compounds ruled over by a religious elite. Cities were founded around the monumental temples and most of the populace governed from the city lived outside the city complex itself. These were temple cities that had some residents, not population centers that had temples.
The Lugal (chief, great-man) role came to prominance seemingly via the need for military leadership. They represented the god and people as regarding military might. He would grow over time to be a ruler in a broader sense that later eclipsed the old Enship. But it is not unreasonable to expect a Lugal to not have the same high ritual treatment as an En at this time. Our expectation of "most treasure and biggest burial = monarch" is biased by later Euro-centric expectations and on the role of the Egyptian Pharaoh which had already long combined the roles of war-leader and priestly mediator by the time we generally think of Egyptian "kingship."
4. It is far from unprecedented for a culture to have a "war-chief" who served apart from and at a disadvantage of prestige alongside a figure or institution representing spiritual/traditional/ritual authority.
The Chief of many North American native cultures was authoritative only in the execution of warfare, and that by example and venerable concensus rather than authoritative command. It was often other authorities such as councils of elders who held more soveriegn "constitutional" authority based on their wisdom and access to vast traditional knowledge.
So for us to automatically equate ultimate ritualized respect and honor with "king-ship" or "Chiefdom," is ad hoc and culturally biased.

I think it likely that these more elaborate burials represent those in the office of En rather than Lugal, though it is likely that these twin, often-hereditary, positions were closely bound socially and geneologically among elite families in a given city. This is particularly the case as En-priestesses in Ur tended to be daughters of "kings."
So the "royal/priestly" dichotomy is somewhat false. The entire burial ground was likely reserved for the broad family(ies) of elites that included both En and Lugal, as well as their important shared relatives. The distinction then is in the ritual form of the burials with En being given elaborate and ritualized burials while their Lugal kin (who may have even had more practical power in life) were buried in less elaborate, though still sumptuous, conditions. Thus the entire grounds would be the "royal" burial grounds if we take the interrelated En and Lugal roles as both being of a "royal" nature.

Loved this, very informative and entertaining.

I think it was a combination for the followers to be buried with their ruler - 1 the succeeding kings would get rid of any potential threats to their kingship and 2 the followers would avoid a loss of status and hence 'choose' to be buried with their ruler. I think it would have been difficult to force a solider to bury themselves unless they were halfway willing.

Interestingly, after watching this, I looked up the writings attributed to Enheduanna (but may be much older and back-attributed). At the beginning of one of her long hymns to Inanna, and which stresses Inanna's role as the obtainer of the divine mes or powers, she refers to the goddess as "Mistress of heaven, with the great diadem, who loves the good headdress befitting the office of en priestess, who has seized all seven of its divine powers."
The en priestess of Inanna in Ur would have had a distinct headdress. The headdress of Puabi mentioned in this video features seven prominent star/floral figures rising out of it. The only real evidence for calling her "Queen" Puabi is her apparent wealth and social standing. But to automatically connect this with Lugalship over Enship is largely ad hoc.

I'm awfully tired of anything historical being shoved through the Jew-wish sensors.

I learnt a while ago that archeologists pretty much have no idea and just love to make guesses....

. . . . and not a single sign that the mythical Hebrew kingdoms of David and Solomon ever existed outside the writings of Hebrews delusions of grandeur.

Anyone else put it to 1.5 x speed lol

When I was there with the Army, all I saw was sand.

Board games in tombs. I guess they figured there would be a lot of time to pass in eternity.

Ur moms got a death pit

Explore golgumbaz

the most interesting aspect of ancient babylonian/Mesopotamian history is that not they themselves had no idea where they came from. it's speculated that they may have originated from the indus/ India region, but really, it's just one of many ideas thrown around.

Why dpo the statues look like Adam Schiff being squeezed bug eyed?

Lately, I would gladly live under a “ primitive democracy” than what we have

Where are the death pits of the Giza plateau? Surely it took tens of thousands over hundreds of years
