Well this is the longest video I have uploaded on the channel so far...let me know what you think? If you enjoyed this extended version you may also enjoy the latest extended video I made on the Bronze Age Minoans https://youtu.be/t6cHnbYWk0E Also, I used a couple different microphones in different sized rooms on different days while recording this video(out of necessity)...so this may sound slightly different tones at times.

Give this man a clap. He deserves it for giving this much content for free.

Hearing you talk about how you coloured certain bronze helmets or weapons differently to represent wear and tear or different levels of bronze-content really put into perspective the level of detail and research you put into your videos. Simply fantastic content.

"Scribes failed at living" is a painful reminder of how fragile our current society is

Bronze is used in a lot of modern machinery etc, when the engineer wants to make sure only one of two contacting parts is being worn away, they make that one from bronze and the other from steel. Bronze is still pretty hard so it resists abrasion pretty well, but when it's worn away you only need to swap out the bronze part.

Brilliant content Epimetheus. As a modern-day Assyrian, I'm intrigued by the light you shed on so many questions I've had about my ancestors' movements throughout the region. I replayed this video at least 4 times to absorb the wealth of information you kindly provide. Looking forward to more commentary videos too... That was Awesome. :)

Your finest work. I could watch a 24 hour version of this and it wouldn't feel long at all.

57:55 The Tigris and Euphrates confluence has two names depending on who you ask: Arabs call it Shatt al-Arab (شط العرب) meaning river of the Arabs. But in Iran, it's called Arvand Rud (اروند رود), the swift river. Or at least Shatt al-Arab is only considered the part of river that is in Iraq. At the Iranian border the river Karun from Zagros mountains joins Shatt al-Arab and forms the Iran-Iraqi border. This part is considered Arvand Rud in Iran.

This “director’s commentary” style is really neat. I love your “normal” style too, and this was a fun change of pace. More like this would be extremely welcome. Keep it up, your videos just keep getting better!

Hi. As for the state funded tomb raiding theory, it is commonly accepted in the end of East Han dynasty in China, aka the Three Kingdom Period, head of the Wei state Cao Cao (c.155-200) organized the first elite exhumation squad to fund his state as well as its war machine. So yes, such event may as well have had happend in Egypt.

I thought you were about to do a Law & Order screenplay at the beginning. "These are the stories of those who survived."

You do the artwork yourself! That's very impressive. Thank you for creating such quality content.

Please do more hour long videos! This was exceptionally interesting to watch in addition to your shorter videos. So quite simply, keep up the good work!
