Phew. Glad to have this one finally finished. I'm finally off to Ireland next week for a much anticipated journey into the islands incredible history as well as insights into my own family history. Of course many videos will follow! Video wise there are so many ridiculously epic projects in the works. This one on Akkad is a mere taste of what is to come in terms of the Bronze Age world! Don't forget to subscribe if you enjoy the content and leave a comment telling me what you'd like to see covered next. It all helps the algorithm gods to help the channel. Thanks all! See you on the next one. Right.. Back to work..

Putting up the name cards whenever you mention or remention people (or say ‘he’) is an underrated genius move. It’s so easy to keep track thanks to it. Wish other documentaries would do that!

Normally a channel that doesn’t publish for a few months would be dead and forgotten.

I got goosebumps watching this, always fascinated by Mesopotamian and Indus Valley civilisations as we still know very little about them!

The fact that you have single-handedly researched recorded edited and produced this documentary is astounding! I happen to know the amount of work that's involved in something like that, usually it's a team of a handful or even tens of people.

I really appreciate these documentaries. I never had the money for college, so I feel like I’m actually still learning something when I watch them.

You really blew me away with your narration of the Sumarians and Akkadeans. Fantastic to watch, thank you. A complete search of this marvellous people and their culture, knowledge and architecture.

This is a fabulous video. I could not stop watching it. You really made this interesting and clarified a lot about this important history of the beginnings of empires vs city states. I really appreciate your use of maps to show the locations of all of these places in relationship to each other and the big rivers. I LOVED seeing all of the relics of the time. Thank you again for this video.

The decipherment of cuneiform (Sanskrit 'wedge form or shaped') is perhaps the greatest, albeit forgotten aspect of this history. The man of whom the honour is owed is George Smith, an assistant of Henry Rawlinson at the British Museum, and not even a scholar. This was the man that pieced together the account of the Flood, and realised 1 piece was missing among the some 26,000 fragments in the museum.

We used to make disposable tin cans by the billions before aluminum became more economical. I wonder what the Akkadians would think about our wasteful use of tin?

Another outstanding production! This is the sort of thing that should be promoted on UKposts, not the rubbish that always seems to get all the views. What you accomplish virtually singlehandedly is astounding, putting to shame projects with large crews and budgets. Take a long vacation, you've more than earned one for the massive effort this took.

I've been waiting for Mesopotamia to be covered from this amazing channel! I'm so excited for this distraction from the world outside!

When I went to school I used to think history was boring. Years later I can't seem to align myself with the world around me, so I started to watch a lot of documentaries about the ancient world, contemplating what is was like to be a human back then. This documentary was really fascinating!
