Ancient Mesopotamia Explained: Sumerians, Assyrians, Persians and Babylonians

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.
