This is just one small piece of modern day Iran. There is so much history and rich culture in that country. It's a real shame that Islamists currently have a stranglehold over it. Islam is apart of Iran, but it is not all of it. Not even close. This is wonderfully informative. Thank you for it!

I have been trying to find a video that explains in detail the history of the Elamite empire. I am from south-western Iran, and my ancestors have lived there for as far as 2000 years ago, since the time of early Christendom. My family always argued about whether we were originally Persians or Elamite and I always questioned "What is the elamite?" and none of them ever had a real answer, we all knew that it just existed, but that was it. Thank you for clearing up the details on my ancestry. I can't exactly say I'm proud to be an Elamite since it's been gone for thousends of years, so for now, I'm just proud to be Iranian-Arab.

You hear much of the Assyrians, Sumerians, Babylonians, but not their neighbors like Elamites or Gutians, who were rival powers

God of fair trade & contracts, God of oaths... Very practical Gods, denoting how fundamental trade was to this society

The linear Elamite language has been deciphered just recently by a French archeo-linguist working at Tehran University.

Yes, love your channel, how you keep the voices of the narration low and calm, no rapid fire effects, nor assault of music, that takes away from the subject matter. So nice to watch, and the information, and the sequences it is told, is wonderful. One of the best.....

I love watching these while farming in wow classic ..so soothing and informative at the same time

Exccellent informative presentation. Thank you.

Great, thanks for doin this all the time

Excellent educational video - bravo!

Thanks for very informative video.

Excellent! Thank you! I hope you have been successful in your narrating career!

Love your videos, very informative. I always look to see where the Silk Road comes into play over this area during millenia. And shows just how long this part of the world has been doin the same thing to its own leaders for over 6000 years. A little perspective, thank you.

Great job I always love these. Also at 23:46 they have Reese's peanut butter cups on their heads :)

Gawd, i love this stuff.

Fantastic!

brilliant. thank you

Amazing, thank you

Amazing places on earth 🌎🌍 . Thanks for the history lesson and virtual tour . ❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏 Greetings from Minneapolis Minnesota.

Beautiful thank you

Where does the changing map from 5:08 come from? Is it something you produced yourself? I'd love to take the time to explore it to get my head around the names and periods of the Near East civilizations.

I know that information on the Elamites is fairly sparse so I commend you for this very interesting narrative

Fantastic documentary. My main interest is military history. I wonder what the armies of Elam looked like. My guess is very close in clothing and equipment to Sumerians, Hammurabi ect during each time period?

where did you get that map from the very first scene? its amazing

The stuff aboutShem, it does. Shem is likely to refer to Shulgi, son of Ur Nammu and Ur Nammu refer to Noah. The death of Utu Hegel and then rise of Ur Nammu is likelt to refer to Noah after he was Tubal Cain, and that is likely to be refer to the instability including the flood of gutian, that marked the transition between the end of the Akkadian Empire and Third Dynasty of Ur.

Thank you for the video, Please do a video for Jiroft/Aratta civilization. it's unknown mystical civilization and it's older than Elamite.

Thank you 🙏

About god damn time you guys picked up your game the content is fantastic. Please pick it up.

Not for nothing but at 2009 BCE using green for Egypt and Assyria is confusing. By that, I mean using similar colors for different civilizations is confusing. To which I mean this is not the only time stamp in which it's done and you certainly are not the only channel to have done it. In summary I would like to say I enjoy this channel very much you have excellent content. Ironically it was another video about this geographic location that also used same colors from BCE to CE in regards to civilizations. Thank you for reading.

The Map lapse at 5:08 is very interesting .

About time the Elamites got a little publicity. Forget the Akkadians gimme some Elamites.

اصل العيلاميين عرب الأحواز و هم من اصل العرب ساميين

1651 BCE, 2 green and 3 purples to denote different empires and yes I can see that one is supposed to be pinkish but my point is there is not enough of a difference. Still love the channel and content.

Hi im really looking forward to know the software used around 5 min. anyone?

Recent studies claiming the proto Elamite writing is as old as proto cuneiform writing or maybe older and It's was a independent writing....

This could have been much more informative without the periodic overlay of flames and sparks upon the graphics of inscriptions and archaeological finds.

Thx. I've not seen it yet but instantly clicked on the like button. Its very rare to see people reffering to them. For me personally one of the most interesting societies within the old middle east. Most striking do i find their parallel developement with the sumerians, but with an identity that lived way beyond of that of their sumerian counterpart. As a non Arab, it would be nice to see a video about old arabic groups (Old South/North & Nabataeans) As far as i can tell, nobody coverd this topic on YT yet. I can imagine why.

Humba (sp?), god of the Sky? Sounds a bit similar to Humbaba from Epic of Gilgamesh, who is sometimes speculated to be a foreign god.

Dan Carlin's "King of Kings" podcast series brought me here...

Low voice high sound effects. Careful. Get ready to roll your volume

Great presentation, but, could you lose the smoke and fire. It obscures the artifacts that you are showing and I feel that they are an important part of the presentation.

What aspects of Elamite culture is found in modern day iranian culture?

The eastern or Elamite Nodites. The culture and commerce advocates migrated in large numbers eastward into Elam and there united with the mixed Sangik tribes. The Elamites of thirty to forty thousand years ago had become largely Sangik in nature, although they continued to maintain a civilization superior to that of the surrounding barbarians. After the establishment of the second garden it was customary to allude to this near-by Nodite settlement as “the land of Nod”; and during the long period of relative peace between this Nodite group and the Adamites, the two races were greatly blended, for it became more and more the custom for the Sons of God (the Adamites) to intermarry with the daughters of men (the Nodites). - The Urantia Book -

love Elam's history

Enjoyed the info, but a few too many dates for my liking

Linear a I have heard that in many years

Who wants to play Cain and Abel... I'm Cain... ...great narration btw!!

Ahwazi and Proud of my ancestors ,thanks for sharing .

Başarılı video👍🏻

Interesting, but no mention of relations with Jiroft and Indus neighbors to the south. Would like to learn more in that direction.

What’s with the flames?

You sir, get a subscription

It would be cool if you guys credited Ollie Bye for that portion of his video that you used. kzfaq.info

15:00 He's talking about Lilith?

Their Wiseman were known as the Limmu in Assyria.

This video has wayyyy too many dates dragged out into the longest form possible "Circa X BC blah blah was Circa Y BC and it wasn't until Circa Z AD blah blah blah." Too much of a focus on the detailed chronology and listing things off rather than exploring events themselves, which are described coldly without context. It's basically a Wikipedia article being read aloud. Appreciate the effort to produce this for us though!!

❤❤❤

This proves the Bible prophecy that said that Elam will be resorected again and it it did as the modern kingdom of Persia

There is folklore in kerala that kerala thiyar community came from ealam

THREES ROADS CONTACTING TO INDIA FROM SUSA ONE TO JAMMU , PUNJAB , AND TOP OF RAJASTHAN

Robot voice a bit monotonous and off-putting but very informative, thank you.

Their language sounds like Clingon. Maybe they were clingons.

Susa, abode of their gods, seat of their mysteries, I conquered. I entered its palaces, I opened their treasuries where silver and gold, goods and wealth were amassed... I destroyed the ziggurat of Susa. I smashed its shining copper horns. I reduced the temples of Elam to naught; their gods and goddesses I scattered to the winds. The tombs of their ancient and recent kings I devastated, I exposed to the sun, and I carried away their bones toward the land of Ashur. I devastated the provinces of Elam and on their lands I sowed salt.

Interesting that their language where so isolated and not even related to the proto-indo-Iranian language. Also not an Indo-European language

You should make a declaration whenever you speak about ancient civilisation saying, "all dates are B.C.E unless otherwise stated", this way you save yourself time and save the audience from hearing B.C.E. 5 times a minute. Also, I do not know what fire, smoke and thunder have to do with anything, oh, and make your images more relevant to the subject rather than a tree stuck up in the middle of the marsh. Only a suggestion.

I’m an Elamite , my dna is h2p96 and we still live in these areas

I like your videos, but I have to say I find your writing and delivery style a bit too “written”, ie. a tad too much like something meant to be read rather than listened to. I'm just saying -I think you might be able to grow your channel more easily by working on that aspect, the only weakness I can find (then again, I'm not a histprian but a teacher of English as a foreign language). I'm writing this just before hitting that Subscribe button, btw.

Learning more about the People of the Bible Thank you for your video🙏✌❤💙

Do you guys think the early Elamite language was semetic or Dravidian?

Get together argument

Khajiit?

Present day majority Baluchis are from Ilam tribals and some of them are also mixed in the Kurdish/Armenians this is hundred%true rest may be isolated pockets of them

Worship me, I'm worthy. Ok just do it.

The music is often too loud.

REVIEWING

I mean this ziggurat has similar architectural structure as indus valley civilization so they might have been western most branch of it as indus valley people were traders primarily and might have occupied trade ports into iran

I wish people would ditch the pedantic and unnecessary BCE thing and just say BC -BCE is so clumsy and politically correct -it grates so much!

"Elam" is a Tamil word, but I don't know its meaning. Maybe it means "state" or "land."

Interesting pronunciation of most of these names

Fully Draffinated

The biblical narrative is correct though

El-Choctaw-lord-De-CalifasMexicoAztlan Antz-that-walks-in-sky i Cali 🐜

Is the civilization of Elam Arab?

Tamil Elam

The fire and smoke is a stupid effect and ruins the film

from PERSIA ArmeniA Israel with Passion

I believe the Bible about the Elamites

Elam is not meaning upper land, but it is plural of gods and goddesses, so it means the land of gods and goddesses.

Theres not alot in the bible about the elamites. At genesis 10:22 and 1 chronicles 1:17 we learn Elam was Shem's first born son. Ezra 4:9 and acts 2:8,9 we learn Elam is from the east (Babylon)and had their own language. Bible history follows Shem son Arpachshad. So why would the bible have their history? Thanks for talking about what we do know, vary interesting. Peace and agap'e.

They was kangs and queens......

Interesting information. Narrator is flat, dull, lecturer. In a classroom I would have fallen asleep.

I am al so elamite.south india.

Sumerians and Elamites were may have been same peoples

Rofl. I hate this unemployment thing too buddy.

Elam is semitic origen

If the Bible says it came from Shem, it did come from Shem. After 35 years os studying ancient cultures ai never found a mistake in the Bible report of Archeology.... the new discoveries only finally support the Bible text.

The Bible is true human history, and provides an explanation for the origin of all of the world's false religions, which were a distorted remembrance of the true God from before the flood and ancestor worship. Some of the people named in the Bible which lived before and shortly after the flood became deities in these distorted memories. I will provide here just a tiny sliver of the tremendous amount of information which demonstrates it is true. In early Aryan mythology Japheth is remembered as Djapatischta (chief of the race). East Indians called him Jyapeti or Pra-Japati. In Greek Jaheth (Iapetos) is remembered as the "father of the human race" by his son Prometheus. Japetus' grandson, Deucalion, enters a great box with his wife and 3 children to survive a flood arising in Greece which will destroy all humans. According to Homer (Il. viii. 479) Iapetus is imprisoned with Cronus in Tartarus, and Silius Italicus (xii. 148, &c.) relates that he is buried under the island of Inarime. In Homeric Greek myth Japetus is not the son of the flood survivor, Deucalion, he is the grandfather. Yet, his descendents, including Deucalion and progeny, are called Iapetiade. The descendants of Japetus survive a flood that destroys mankind in Greece. He is the ruler of the western part of the earth, and he and his three brothers upehld other four columns which supported the heavens. Iapetus' grandson, Deucalion, enters a great box with his wife and 3 children to survive a flood arising in Greece which will destroy all humans. In Homeric Greek myth Japetus is not the son of the flood survivor, Deucalion, he is the grandfather. Yet, his descendents, including Deucalion and progeny, are called Iapetiade. So descendants of Japetus survive a flood that destroys mankind in Greece. His descendants, Prometheus, Atlas, and others, are often designated by the patronymic forms Iapelidae (es), Iapetionidae (es), and the feminine Iapetionis. (Hes. Theog. 528; Ov. Met. iv. 631; Pind. Ol. ix. 59.) Romans remembered Japheth as Ju-Pater or Jupiter. The Scandinavians remember Yapheth as Seskef. The Saxons perpetuated his name as Iafeth, subsequently transliterated as Sceaf (pronounced "sheef" or "shaif" - and recorded his name in their early genealogies as the son of Noah, the forebear of their various peoples). These derivations came about by the practice of ancestor worship, which eventually deified the sons of Noah and they became "gods" in different mythologies around the world. Here we see the people who became the ancient Hindus, after dispersing from Babel as a large family group, distorted these men's names and made them into deities, which derived from the practice of ancestor worship: Hindus mythology tells of Satyaurata (Noah) who was a righteous man who was warned of the coming deluge by Vishnu. He saved himself and the seven sages (8 on the ark of Noah) of the world by building a boat for them to ride out the deluge. The name Satyaurata means "dedicated to truth". The Bible states Noah was a rightous man. Satyaurata's son Iyapeti (Japheth) is considered the father of the Hindu people. Satyaurata had another son named C'Harma (Ham) whom he cursed for laughing at his drunkenness. The Bible gives us the original account of this event of Noah being laughed at by Ham in his drunken nakedness in Genesis 9, which was later distorted by early Hindus. Ham Genesis10[6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. Hamites (offspring of Ham, Son of Noah): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamites Hamites > Hamitic People > Hamites of Egypt > K-HEM-ET (god of Egypt), K-HEM-IA is said by Plutarch (100 S.D.) to be the "country of Ham", which agrees with Josephus's Antiquities 1:6:1. PUT - son of Ham (Genesis) - Lybia according to ancient Egyptians according to Egyptian relief and PUTA according to Persian relief Children of Shem Shem > Shemites > Semites, involved in the early stage of Sumer, Sumerian is a semitic language In Hebrew Shem may be used to mean "Name", "Fame" or "Reputation". Sharma or Sarma in Hindu is derived from Shem, the son of Noah. In Hindi, the name Sharma or Sarma means teacher or preacher and may be used as a surname of Brahmins (Hindu preachers and teachers). "The people called Sumerians, whose language became the prevailing language of the territory, probably came from around Anatolia, arriving in Sumer about 3300 bc." Sumer was first settled by a pre-sumerian people. Afterward a semitic tribe replaced them and established the culture commonly referred to as Sumerian. Britanica: "Sumer was first settled between 4500 and 4000 bc by a non-Semitic people who did not speak the Sumerian language. These people now are called proto-Euphrateans or Ubaidians, for the village Al-Ubaid, where their remains were first discovered. The Ubaidians were the first civilizing force in Sumer, draining the marshes for agriculture, developing trade, and establishing industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery. After the Ubaidian immigration to Mesopotamia, various Semitic peoples infiltrated their territory, adding their cultures to the Ubaidian culture, and creating a high pre-Sumerian civilization. Elam Elam is the ancient name for Persia, which is itself the ancient name for Iran. Until the time of Cyrus the people here were called Elamites, and they were still often called that even in New Testament times. In Acts 2:9, the Jews from Persia who were present at Pentecost were called Elamites. The Persians are thus descended from both Elam, the son of Shem, and from Madai, the son of Japheth (see above). Since the 1930s they have called their country Iran. Elam: Genesis 10[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. Elam, son of Shem, decendants known Elamites (c. 2530-2450 bc, southwestern Iran) first founders of Sumeria according to professors Chile and Mallowan. Descendants moved west from Sumeria to Iran (district of Pul), then to Europe where they are known as the Polani in Poland, as ELAMTU to the Babylonians, ELYMAIS to the Greeks, HALAMTI/HUZ to the Persians. Elamite Empire: www.iranchamber.com/history/elamite/elamite.php Elam: Elam, Elamite, altami, Akkadian Elamtu, also called Susiana, ancient country in southwestern Iran approximately equivalent to the modern region of Khuzestan. www.britannica.com/place/Elam Arphaxad Arphaxad: Gen10[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. Arphaxad, son of Shem, named Arphaxadites now called Chaldeans (Josephus). Aramaic was the language of the Arphaxad and thus also of the Chaldeans. Known as ARP-HURRA (Hurrians, Nuzi Tablets 1,400 BC, ARRAHU (Akkadians), ARPHAXITIS (Ptomemy) where the population was called the KURO-ARAXES, became the GERMANI - germanic tribes of Europe. Arphaxad was the progenitor of the Chaldeans. This ‘is confirmed by the Hurrian (Nuzi) tablets, which render the name as Arip-hurra-the founder of Chaldea.’11 His descendant, Eber, gave his name to the Hebrew people via the line of Eber-Peleg-Reu-Serug-Nahor-Terah-Abram (Genesis 11:16-26). Eber’s other son, Joktan, had 13 sons (Genesis 10:26-30), all of whom appear to have settled in Arabia. He was the progenitor of the Chaldeans, his name being equivalent to 'arpkeshed', that is, the boundary of Chaldea. That he was indeed the forebear of the Chaldeans is confirmed by the Hurrian (Nuzi) tablets, which render the name as Arip-hurra - the founder of Chaldea. The name was also known to the Akkadians as Arraphu. Some scholars have endeavoured to treat his name as a derivative of the Assyrian phrase 'arba-kishshatu', meaning the four corners of the world; but given the somewhat localized nature of the Chaldean people, confining themselves for the most part to southern Mesopotamia, this derivation is unlikely. The Assyians knew his descendants as the Kaldu, adept astrologers, magicians and mathematicians. Ptolemy, however, recorded the name of their land as Arrapachitis, whilst it was known to others as Arphaxitis. The very earliest settlement of the children of Arphaxad, however, appears to have been what is today a two and a half acre ruin called Arpachiya. It lies some four miles to the east of ancient Nineveh, and is the remains of a very early farming community. Lud Genesis 10[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. Lud was the ancestor of the Lydians. Lydia was in what is now Western Turkey. Their capital was Sardis - one of the seven churches of Asia was at Sardis (Revelation 3:1) Lydians, famous archers, light-skinned people (Herodotus, Histories), known as LUDDU to the Akkadians, LUDEM to the Egyptians, and Ludbu to the Assyrians, town of Ludbu on Euphrates, migrated into N. Italy with the Etruscans. www.creationwiki.org/Lud Aram Aram: Genesis 10[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. Aram, son of Shem, father of the Aramaic language, taken captive by the Assyrians (Josephus, Antiquities 9:2:3), remembered in Aram-naharaim and Armenia, moved to Iran (Jospehus) as the Aramii onto S. Russia (Pliny, Natural History 4:18:50) Aram is the Hebrew word for Syria. Whenever the word Syria appears in the Old Testament it is a translation of the word Aram. The Syrians call themselves Arameans, and their language is called Aramaic. Before the spread of the Greek Empire, Aramaic was the international language (2 Kings 18:26 ff). On the Cross, when Jesus cried out, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani’ (Mark 15:34), He was speaking Aramaic, the language of the common people.
