Of all the different “Cradles of Civilization” around the world, perhaps no other is as important and influential to the development of human civilization as Mesopotamia. Literally translated from Sumerian to mean “the land between the rivers,” Mesopotamia refers to the valleys and plains in between and around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which are located in modern-day Iraq. Directly surrounding Mesopotamia, stretching as far west as Israel and Egypt and all the way east to modern-day Iran, is the Fertile Crescent, named for the remarkable fertility of the land that made this region an ideal place for human civilization to prosper.
This video covers the Sumerians, Assyrian history, Ur, Babylon, Gilgamesh, Hammurabi and the Persian Empire.

I see lots of people watching this for online classes. Is there anyone here watching just out of general curiosity for history like me?

Great historical timeline. I knew most of the info, but never had it in my head in the correct order before this video. Thanks.

Wow imagine if we made this into a television show ? Dramatized history , based on actual events and people so that we could learn out about ancient cultures while making it interesting ?

Mesopotamia are 2 Greek words Meso = middle and potamos = river . The area between two rivers . Tigris= Tiger and Eufratis from the words eu which means good and the verb φραζω which means "i close". On this case these two rivers close this piece of land between them.

One of the BEST explanations of ancient civilization. Something like this needs to be rolled out in schools . . .
-
most of the Abrahamic stories in the bible comes from this very location, and some of the kings and empires and states are mentioned in the bible, also Abraham is also from Mesopotamia, why nobody mentions that?
-
I love learning about Mesopotamia and its history. Im an American but I recently started learning to play the Oud in the past year. An instrument I understand to originate from Mesopotamia.
