The Ankh (☥) is one of the most famous symbols from Ancient Egypt. It represents life, eternal existence, and the power of the gods. The Ankh is not a cross and has a loop at the top and symbolizes life and immortality in ancient Egyptian beliefs. The cross, is a later symbol mainly associated with Christianity, representing faith, sacrifice, and salvation. So while they may look alike, each one carries a completely different meaning and history. The Ankh meanings come from ancient beliefs and mythology of ancient Egypt #Ankh #AncientEgypt #EgyptianSymbols #History

#Bastet, the feline guardian of ancient Egypt, symbolizes protection, joy, and fierce feminine power. With the grace of a cat and the teeth of a lightning mouse, she watches over homes, drives away evil, and brings harmony to daily life such as in #Amsterdam the nr 1 catcity of the planet.

The Babylonian Map of the World with Irving Finkel | Curator’s Corner S9 Ep5 The Babylonian map of the world is the oldest map of the world, in the world. Written and inscribed on clay in Mesopotamia around 2,900-years-ago, it is, like so many cuneiform tablets, incomplete. However, Irving Finkel and a particularly gifted student of his - Edith Horsley - managed to locate a missing piece of the map, slot it back into the cuneiform tablet, and from there set us all on journey through the somewhat mythical landscape of Mesopotamia to find the final resting place of the ark. And yes we mean that ark, as in Noah's ark. Although in the earlier Mesopotamian version of the flood story, the ark is built by Ziusudra. 00:00 Intro 00:52 Ancient Mesopotamian Cuneiform Tablets 01:48 The oldest map of the world, in the world 02:07 What is the Babylonian Map of the World? 02:34 The Babylonian Map of the World explained 04:13 What are the triangles on the Babylonian Map of the World? 06:17 Missing triangle on the Babylonian Map of the World 06:52 Edith Horsley - Cuneiform LEGEND 07:20 Channel 4 News report on Babylonian Map of the World September 1995 08:32 BABY IRVING! 09:48 What the missing piece revealed 11:39 The ark and parsiktu-vessel 13:22 Mount Ararat and Mount Urartu 14:18 What does it all mean? 15:07 Author of Babylonian Map of the World 17:07 Next episode of Curator's Corner • Archaeologists keep re-excavating this 400... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUxFzh8r384

Irving Finkel Writes In Ancient Cuneiform The Ancients Podcast In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Irving Finkel to uncover how cuneiform actually worked and how you would write it yourself. More than five thousand years ago, a revolutionary script emerged in the fertile lands of Mesopotamia that would transform how people counted, governed, worshipped and told stories. This was cuneiform, the world’s earliest known writing system. From humble beginnings as simple pictograms tracking beer and grain, to the wedge-shaped signs that recorded myths, laws and epic tales long before the Bible, this episode explores how cuneiform spread across Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and Persia — and why these clay tablets remain one of archaeology’s richest windows into the ancient world. 0:00 Introduction to Cuneiform 1:40 The Oldest Script Known to Archaeology 3:10 Sumerian: The Language Without Relatives 5:05 Akkadian and the Spread of Cuneiform 8:45 The Behistun Inscription: Unlocking the Code 13:15 Why Clay?

The Rise and Fall of Babylon: History's Greatest City (2300 - 480 BC) Ancient Babylon history — from a tiny town on the Euphrates River to the greatest city of the ancient world. In this history documentary, we trace the rise and fall of the Babylonian empire across nearly two thousand years of Mesopotamia's most dramatic chapter. Using historically grounded visuals and cinematic storytelling, this film explores: How a nomadic Amorite tribe seized an unremarkable town and turned it into the capital of an empire How Hammurabi forgave all debts on his first day as king — and then wrote laws that protected women, children, and slaves millennia before Europe Why Babylonian women could divorce their husbands, win in court, and remarry — in the nineteenth century BCE How Hammurabi played rival kingdoms against each other for thirty years before launching his conquest of all Mesopotamia Why the Assyrian king Sennacherib burned Babylon to the ground, flooded its ruins, and carried away its gods — and how his own sons murdered him for it How a Chaldean rebel named Nabopolassar rose from the ashes, crushed the Assyrian empire, and founded a new dynasty What Nebuchadnezzar built on top of the destruction — walls wider than the Great Wall of China, the cobalt-blue Ishtar Gate, the ziggurat Etemenanki that inspired the Tower of Babel, and the Hanging Gardens that may never have existed How Babylon became the first city in history to reach two hundred thousand people — when Rome was still a village Why the Persian conquest and the theft of one statue marked the beginning of the end And how the Babylon we know from ruins is not the Babylon that became a legend — but a city built on top of its ghost This is not a summary. It is a reconstruction of a civilization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-uVKIstl7M
