  1. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    What’s Happening i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I have found It positively helpful and it has helped me out loads. I hope to contribute & help other users like its helped me. Good job.

  3. “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illumined with his glory. And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.”Revelation 18:1-2 (NASB)

    Sure the US is evil and all that. As evil as the oil that runs in your car. So evil, that people actually would rather live here than anywhere else. And yes, we Americans never pretended to be smart. But we treat our friends right and our enemies.. umm..

  5. missbutter81 says:

    No the US brought freedom, liberty, flowers and rainbows…everything is just perfect as it was during the embargo and the CIA’s help to bring into power Saddam. Iraq never had an advanced healthcare system, free universal education and a thriving middle class or women’s rights. If they’ve been getting invaded since the 1200s, why not invade them too right?

  6. jackrazalas says:

    Umm really? People commenting they want this kind of society back today? You want slavery, spousal violence, be ruled by warlords and priests, public flayings, brutal display of force towards citizens, etc? I admire ancient cultures but this was not a nice system to live in. And the USA did not bring violence and war to that region, it has had violence from the beginning of civilization.. if u don’t agree then go live in Iraq..

  7. I think this is one of the most important information for me. And i am glad reading your article. But want to remark on some general things, The website style is perfect, the articles is really great : D. Good job, cheers

  8. This series is highly disinformation , they will not tell you the whole story about Iraq , Rome is rebuilding babylon in Bagdad and even world wide as we speak and they replaced Saddam with a double , 911 was done by Rome , Dirty world History Channel has Jesuit ties because all the universities are Jesuit ran , rewriting history like these series.. WE Never Solved WW2Now we have to deal with it , Rome is going down ! Too many crimes are still unsolved and we have all the evidence.

  10. Blacknemisis says:

    In the bible and other sources it says that Nimrod the grandson of Kush which is blackman went out and started and founded Summer and Babylon. So why are they not showing that black africans starting and ruling the land.

  11. Logic2Truth says:

    Just want to say a few things here. 1. anything said in this documentary should be confirmed by independent fact checking due to history channels recent sharp decline in credibility (i.e ancient aliens) 2. i understand this video has a multi cultural multi faith appeal… lets not call certain holy books hateful and certain people or nationalities simple.if your comment offends the listener your, your words are likely to fall on deaf ears so whats the point?

  12. SargonJWZ says:

    Warning! this documentary is made for simple white american people! It doesn’t give a good depiction of Iraq, espacially of the more modern times, so if you are searching for something to learn about this fascinating country, search further.

  13. @mack3dg , i agree, they always add bizarre violent interpretation, the bible is weird for hating babylon, which so sadly seems like quite awful propaganda… so pollutes history….that weird hate against babylon… seems quite sinful, that kind of hate in the old book…

  14. mack3dg says:

    i don’t believe any of this. at the end the message that these Europeans-A.K.A. White people are trying to get people to swallow, is that people in that part of the world have always been savages, in order to get the OK from the rest of the world so that White people=Europeans can continue to mistreat those people. The biggest Toll of the “GLOBAL SYSTEM WHITE=EUROPEAN SUPREMACY” is misinformation. on the mean time White People=Europeans are the most Lawless people on the Planet………

  15. 33iknow says:

    This is a mediocre at best attempt to cover the history of that region. So much was left out, but I understand. This doc would have been a month long. Plus the are massive leaps from one era to the next that are kind of confusing.

  17. lol, why would anyone think it’s a good thing to cling on to or revert to a non-nation-state “culture?” The precise reason nations in undeveloped sectors of the world have trouble dealing with new technology is because they are yet to develop their own mores and tropes in regards to dealing with the various abilities technology brings.
