Thousands of years ago humans were no longer just hunters
Settled along the banks of rivers there
And between these rivers the Tigris and the Euphrates the world's first civilization was born
Mesopotamia
Here began agriculture with the first cities rising from irrigation canals and mounds of earth
But the question is how did people live here
Was there really a growing divide among social classes here as well
Much like the later caste system that emerged in India
And the most pressing question asked
People here also believed in gods and goddesses

Thousands of years ago when humans hunted in forests and lived in caves
And the sole purpose of his life was to stay alive
Slowly he learned to make fire from stone gained control over it and began hunting animals
But a question has always lingered in the human mind
Is life merely a name for hunting and wandering or is there something more
That very question led him on his greatest journey
Humans spread from Africa to different parts of the world
Some groups reached the fertile valley of the Ganges and Indus
Where later on urban civilizations such as Harappa and Mohenjo-daro emerged
Some people arrived at the banks of the Yellow River
Where Chinese civilization subsequently emerged
And took a few more steps forward toward those rivers
They changed the course of all humanity—Tigris and Euphrates
For the first time humans realized along these rivers that if they settled in communities
If you farm you won't have to chase after prey every single day
It was here that the journey began from a wandering unsettled life toward a stable settled existence
The fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers was known to Greek travelers as
Each year the floodwaters of these rivers enrich the farmlands with fertile soil
People constructed canals and channels to divert and direct water from the bund to the fields
This was humanity's first irrigation system
Now this person has not only found food but also a permanent home family and community
And friends it was here that the people gathered forming that great civilization we know today
Mesopotamian civilizatio
This is what is known as the cradle of human civilization hailed as the world's first rural civilization
And today we are diving into the depths of this civilization

If you look at this assembly today
So it spread right through the heart of Iraq
Its territory extended as far as Syria and Kuwait
This is West Azad Kashmir's fertile land
Which was later referred to as
On one side flows the Tigris
on the other the Euphrates
The plain stretching between the river and its tributaries
Where humans first began farming and establishing cities
He wandered through the fields
Villages scattered here and there
And then the man dreamed a new dream
A large city located beyond Gauṃb
Where thousands can live together
That dream became reality in Uruk
the Muthanna Governorate of today's Iraq
About 5 000 years ago starting today
Uruk became the world's
first organized megacity
Here stand towering temples
Known as Jiggurat
With its narrow alleys and vast walls
The bustling activity of markets throughout the day merchants at wor
Farmers selling their crops
alongside their belongings
And at night the temple bells ring
The echoes of worship and music from the deities resound
In the alleys of Uru
You can feel the stir of that thread
This is truly a pivotal moment in human history
One of the first urban dwellers was
Born after the city of Uru
Urne another major
city of Mesopotamia
Here stood towering palaces
The steps of the ziggurat were steep
And the streets were always filled with the echo of merchants' calls
But the most fascinating part is this
at this very moment in India
Our Mohenjo-daro and Harappa
people were also just living there
where the earthen pots are located
Homes and sewers buil
There too in Mohenjo-daro there were houses made of baked bricks
Drainage System
And there were large markets
Both civilizations thousands
It was kilometers away bu
Both arrived at nearly the same time
The art of city-building has been rediscovered
That means humans now only care about the village
Not just a resident but a true one
And friends
the great Mesopotamian civilization we are talking about
elling about the cities
The discovery of that Mesopotamian civilizatio
How did it go How did thousands of
Buried beneath Red's weight for years
Did this world suddenly emerge from nowhere
It was the year 1849 on

Digging away with it—just an
ordinary day nothing but sand
And plowing between the stones
But after a short while the workers

And from there emerged a massive stone bull
Feathers grew on its head and
everyone was utterly stunned
This discovery was made at the site of Nimrud

Gigantic statues said to have been created
When people saw them they all jumped back in surprise
Was this part of a temple
Or perhaps the remnants of some forgotten civilization
Then he came back
The 1850s
British archaeologist Henry Rawlinso
She saw a mysterious
shadow in Iran
It was a vast stone lake

In which three languages
Old Persian Babylonian and Elamite
I had written the same thing
Rollins had worked tirelessly for years
Learn to read and that was it
The first door to open the kingdom

read these inscriptions
Thus emerged the Mesopotamian civilization
Law business astronomy
And the treasure of the gods' tales
And within these lies
humanity's oldest great mystery
The Epic of Gilgamesh
This is where the world was first revealed
It dawned on me that thousands of years had passed
Originally settlements were located along the banks of these rivers
Mesopotamian civilizatio
The first civilization of humanity
But in the end this civilization
Why did it suddenly vanish
How did its people even live
And what truly defines India's Harappan civilization
Was their ancestor also from Mesopotamia
In Mesopotamian civilization
three empires arose
Ruled over this land for thousands of years
First came the reign of the Semirians approximately
from today
The period around 3000
BCE is believed to be
The kings here remained closely associated with temples
And rule with the power of the gods
Following this was the rule of the Akkadans
According to the historian
Reigned during the time period around 2300 BCE
The great ruler here
was Sargon of Akkad
who for the first time
connected small towns together
Built a vast empire
Inscribed on his tablet
Even today the scars of his battles
and his unyielding spirit bear witness
In conclusion regarding this assembly
The rule of the Babylonians came
The one who brought this civilization to its highest peak
The greatest ruler of
this dynasty was Hammurabi
According to historians the reign of which lasted
From 1792 BCE
to 1750 BCE
He was the ruler who
nearly 4 000 years ago
The world's first written law code established
It's called the
Code of Hammurabi
Imagine
Twenty-eight-two rules were also
established within that framework
From agriculture to trade
From marriage to theft and murder
Laws differ for everyone
His most famous rule was
an eye for an eye
Teeth for tee
That means if someone has harmed you
Then he will receive exactly the same punishment as well
But what made Hammurabi
truly exceptional was this
at he said the law is
above even my authority
That means even the king
is bound by the law Think about it
Four thousand years ago already
Hammurabi did not create laws alone
Instead he constructed irrigation
canals and assisted farmers
That is he was a stern justice-loving king
On the other hand his own people's
The attentive one as well
and the most fascinating thing
His law remains before us today

It is housed at the Louvre Museum
Friends where today we farm
Tractors machinery
and modern technology
Waves of wheat barley and rice stretch across the fields
But friends just imagine
5 000 years ago
When there were neither tractors nor electric machines
So what were people growing back then
And how they practiced farming
— the answer to that we receive
From the land of Mesopotamia
The true power of Mesopotamia
Not in his kings or his wars
Rather its fruits were hidden within the soil
Each year the floods of the Tigris and Euphrates enrich the farmlands
New layers of crops had been left behind
People built canals and dams
Delivered water to the fields
This was the first irrigation
system in human history
In these fields three things
have become the foundation of life
The wheat and dates
the ones made from wheat and dates
Mention is made of palm groves
Not only that
There dates are dried and their juice extracted
Evidence of both sweet syrup and
alcohol production also exists
The farmer rises with the morning sun
Going into the fields and returning in the evening
Under the shade of a palm tree with family
That means farming is not just their profession
In fact it was the backbone of their culture and way of life
If we compare this to
From India's Harappan civilization
Wheat and barley were also cultivated there
But there was a significant difference
The people of Harappa in the world
The first to cultivate cotton were
While Mesopotamia was unaware of cotton
That is both civilizations
were advanced at the same time
But their farming practices were distinct in each case
If you are this great Harappan
Want to know about civilization
Be sure to watch our documentary video
Where we have shown how this
civilization emerged at that time
All civilizations held him in high esteem
Before sowing each new crop the
farmer prays to the god Enlil
The inhabitant of Mesopotamia
The gods of wind and earth speak
And the god of water Ankhi
worshiped her as a deity
They were confident that as long as the deity
They will be happy in the fields of barley
Abundant yields of wheat
and dates will be produced
After the harves
Celebrations are held throughout the village
Dance and song the pitcher of
Peer and sweets made from dates
Even the king himself takes part in these festivals
Joining me
Children play in the fields women
Cleaning the seeds and the elderly
Deep ties with India
This is what appears to be the case today as if we are now
Pongal Makar Sankranti
Harvest festival like Baisa
Celebrate just like the 5000
Earlier in the year Mesopotamia
They also thanked the
farming deities
Friends Mesopotamia's
The greenery of farmers' fields
That was not all by any means
Another source of strength in their life was
Cows and oxen used for
farming plow the fields
Sheep and goats only
Not just milk but also wool and mea
Also provides Sur and chickens
It was a part of everyday meals
And most notably the camel and the donkey
They were more than just animals
Moreover goods transported over long distances
The ancient carts used for farming
and trade were called dhone
The very same animal serves as the
foundation for both Now just ponder this
When farmers were plowing their fields
At that very moment the Tigris and the Euphrates
The rivers were giving
them another treasure
Machliyas
Mackerel were caught from the deep waters of these rivers
Dry them in the sun or with salt
It felt like forever
Not just that
Often they also become part of the treaty itself
This very image helps us understand
at the people of Mesopotamia
They depended equally on the river and on animals
Agriculture food and trade—these
three are the pillars that sustain us
It came from these
And yes at this very moment similar civilizations elsewhere as well
As in the Indus Valley of India
Toy cart of the bullock car
And there are plenty of opportunities for catching catfish
Friends today we're going to make it easy and straightforward
We order goods through our mobile phones
Online shopping UPI cards
Everything is in our hands
But ponder this: 5 000 years ago
That is the people of Mesopotamia
When there was neither money nor ship nor passpor
How people used to conduct business
The merchants here
They had the most distinct identity
They had unique belongings
Colorful clothes and such items
She who came from distant lands
People see them and
Where on earth are you getting this treasure from
Merchants on camels and donkeys
But bringing their own goods the desert dwellers
Passing through the streets and then into Persia
Rowing across the bay in boats
Reaching civilizations far and distant
This journey was not easy—
scorching heat violent storms
Fear of storms and
robbers always remains
But still
Mesopotamian traders took risks
Because that's how their city became wealthy
were made the Persians who
It was also said here that the parajia was located
copper and lapis lazuli among others
Precious stones come in from these
Palaces and temples of Mesopotamia
The walls were adorned and Egypt
from where wood and gold came
And ivory comes
from which the ziggurats and palaces are built
Grand decorations were set up with
blue and yellow banners along the Tigris
Both rivers like those of the ancient world
which demonstrate that both
assemblies are thousands
Even at a distance of kilometers she remained defiant
Imagine friends 5 000 years
ago when the Nile began to flow
They were in the air not on the ground
Ships yet still the man
This trade has
Not just the exchange of goods
Rather thought and culture as well
Friends every civilization has its
The true power lies in his temples and palaces
ot me but his family and
It lies hidden within society
Mesopotamia was no exception either
The society of Mesopotamia
If you look closely it consists of several layers
I was growing stronger above
were the king and the priest
Then came the merchants and artisans
Below farmers and laborers
Each class had its own duties
The king and the priest establish the rules
And connecting with the deities
Traders conduct business far and wide
Farmers sweat in the fields
And the slave is engaged in the most difficult tasks
If viewed separately from India
That's how it seems to us much like our own cultural identity
As the Brahmin who is a priest is also a warrior and ruler so too is the priest a warrior and ruler
And the Vaishya who engaged in trade
And the sutra that crop yield difference was just that
at India's caste system was based on bir
While in Mesopotamia it was more based on profession and occupation
Now let's move on to the family
The head of the family was a man
He would be the owner of the land
The decision on trade and agriculture is made by the same authority
And her voice was considered the loudest in society
Laws were also biased in favor of men
As if there were a disturbance in the house
Thus the decision tends to favor the man
But this does not mean that women were weak
Women in Mesopotamia were ahead of their time in many ways
They could have become owners of land and property
It could have engaged in trade
And some even rose to high positions as priestesses within the temples
And that's not all— the world's first well-known lexicographer was a woman
His name was En Hiduana
She was no ordinary woman
She was the daughter of Sargon of Akkad the great ruler of Mesopotamia
And at the same time the priestess of the moon god Nana
But a large part of women's lives has been spent at home with their children
Yet many such societies have been found where women ran the markets
And the great merchant handled it with ease
And the wedding customs there are truly astonishing
In ancient Mesopotamia marriage was considered a legal contract
Marriage contracts written on clay tablets can still be found today
It used to state how much dowry would be given
What will be the responsibilities of a husband and wife
This meant that women's rights were safeguarded in written form
If a husband mistreated his wife the woman could file a complaint at the women's court
Parents often gave their daughters as dowry—jewelry land or even slaves—during marriages
But the wife's property was considered solely her own right
He wasn't even allowed touch it
After marriage a woman's greatest responsibility was raising her children
Now let's explore what children's world was like in ancient Mesopotamia and whether children played even back then
Their world was completely different
Boys were sent to school which was known as
Adobe House where they learned to write on clay tablets and memorized laws
Learning wasn't easy mistakes were punished
Girls stay at home learning knitting cooking and religious traditions from their mothers
But some girls also took on significant responsibilities within priestly or merchant families
And the toys The children play with clay-made cars dolls and small dice
Imagine this: today our plate holds dal rice vegetables and occasionally meat or fish
But have you ever wondered what people in Mesopotamia ate 5 000 years ago
If you had stepped into an ordinary home back then the first thing you'd see would be the tava with thick hearty rotis made from jowar and wheat—these were the foundation of their daily meals
Onions and garlic are eaten with these flatbreads just as farmers in Indian villages still do today savoring each bite of bread with onion with quiet devotion
But the most fascinating was Beir yes the very same Beir who now appears at bars and pubs
In Mesopotamia beer was not just a drink but an integral part of daily life with workers even paid their wages in beer and people drinking it together from large jars during festivals and gatherings
So friends imagine if you were paid your daily wage in beer—would you still enjoy doing the work
And friends the most crucial question is were people here also believers in gods or deities just as we discussed in our Harappa video about the religious beliefs of the Harappan civilization The answer is yes
And their faith was so profound that they saw lightning flashes river currents and dry earth as divine signs—nothing was mere nature to them but messages from the gods their belief rooted firmly in polytheism just as it was
as the ruler of the sky the god of water and wisdom Enki and the goddess Inanna the divine warrior of love were worshipped in these towering ziggurat temples built for these deities which were not merely places of worship but also sacred links between earth and heaven
Friends just as the sun's rise inevitably leads to its setting every civilization is destined for decline and Mesopotamia was no exception—its fall began right where its civilization had first emerged along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
I have found evidence that the soil has become salty due to repeated irrigation
Crops were ruined yields declined and people broke under hunger and famine
Along with it came climate change scientists say that prolonged droughts have occurred during this period
The river's water level dropped making farming impossible while as the city grew sanitation deteriorated and diseases began to spread
Pandemics claimed thousands of lives and began eroding public trust
When life became difficult people began leaving their homes and cities to settle elsewhere
As a result many great cities of Mesopotamia gradually emptied and with them kings continued to fight for power
Small city-states continually undermined one another and whenever internal unity faltered external invasions became all the more effortless
Not only that commercial records also indicate that long-distance trade broke down due to insecurity and warfare
Markets lay empty poverty and unemployment soared and finally the blow from external forces utterly destroyed this civilization
In 539 BCE the Persian king Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon
Just a few centuries later in 331 BCE Alexander the Great incorporated Mesopotamia into his empire through his war chariots swords and strategy
Alexander's victories were not merely the result of his strategic brilliance but also stemmed from his war chariots swords and weapons friends and if you'd like to know how—
