Exploring the World's First City

✅ SUBSCRIBE for more travel videos:

The first time I heard about Babylon was in first grade -- my teacher taught me that human civilization started in ancient Mesopotamia, at the intersection point of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Well, not only did I just visit that exact place where the two rivers meet (in the center of Iraq), but I ventured deep into BABYLON. This ancient civilization dates back to the 19th Century BC, and is absolutely mind blowing. The best part is that my buddy Alvaro and I were THE ONLY ONES THERE.

If these ruins were in a country like Italy or Spain, then they would be the most visited sites on earth... But sadly, we are deep in the heart of Iraq, a nation that has been torn apart by war and turmoil over the last 30 years.

I've been to 194 countries and I've seen a lot of cool things and places, but this ranks up there as one of the best. It might just be number 1. It's really hard to put into words the feeling of walking these grounds, which are still being excavated to this day.

I hope that you guys enjoy our adventure around Babylon and that you learn something new. I am so grateful to have this platform and be able to share my experiences with you, because so few outsiders get to come here. Thanks for reading this and I'll see you next week!

My last time in this country was 18 months ago and I have very amazing memories from that trip, but this time around has deepened my love and appreciation for Afghanistan's culture, history, nature and people.

Road tripping across Iraq (proper) is a wild experience and I do not recommend any tourist to do it. It can get pretty intense! My buddy Alvaro (IG: @wanderreds) and I were stopped at over 30 police checkpoints - some easy, others hard — and by the end of the journey, my brain was fried … But we made it in one piece to the Southern city of Basra, and I documented the entire experience for you to see.

SPENDING $10 ACROSS MIDDLE EAST (Yemen, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan)

► SUBSCRIBE for daily travel videos:
► INSTAGRAM for more!

The Middle East is my absolute favorite region in the world for many reasons, but none more than the hospitality. I actually never knew that people could be so friendly until I ventured off into the mountains of Afghanistan, the valleys of Yemen, the villages of Syria and the small boutique shops of Iran.

All I can say is that after spending 4+ months of my life traveling throughout the region, I can say that the Middle East is much safer and more beautiful than what the media makes it out to be!

Join me in today's video where I show you how far I could spend $10 in Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and Iran. This is some of my all time favorite content, so I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I had fun making it!

The Oldest Settlements in South India: The Keeladi Excavations

How old are the oldest settlements in south India? What did the recent excavations at Keeladi and other places along the Vaigai and Porunai (Thamirabarani) rivers reveal?

For a long time, it was believed that south India had no ancient urban civilisations like in the north. While the Sangam Period (dated 300 BCE – 300 CE) literature talks of a sophisticated Tamil civilisation, there was no concrete archaeological proof to back it up…until the path-breaking Keeladi excavations that started in 2015.

A series of digs carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India in a little village near Madurai unearthed artefacts dating back at least to the 6th century BCE. This included pottery fragments with graffiti marks very similar to the Indus Valley script.

But Keeladi isn’t the first or only place to offer evidence of ancient settlements in Tamil Nadu. Adichanallur, Korkai, Pallavaram, Attirampakkam and many more sites have thrown up an array of amazing artefacts over the last 100 years or so, including the oldest human tool to be ever discovered in India - a hand-axe that was discovered in Pallavaram, part of present-day Chennai. It’s only in recent years that the pieces of the jigsaw have started coming together. Archaeologists believe that many more exciting discoveries, possibilities and answers are waiting to be found at this site.

After visiting 191 countries over the last 9 years, I can confidently say that AFGHANISTAN is the cheapest of them all! I have spent 3 weeks traveling around this beautiful Central Asian nation, and while there are so many things to admire about its culture and history -- the affordable prices make it THAT much more enjoyable.

In this video, I take you around the Western city called Herat (with my buddy Thomas from @YesTheory to purchase several random items so you guys can see how cheap it is!

Afghanistan Travel Guide - Charming Natural Beauty

Afghanistan Travel Guide - Charming Natural Beauty

Afghanistan is a landlocked country between Near East and Indoasia and is at the heart of Asia, traditionally part of the Greater Middle East region, it is bordered by Pakistan to the south and east, Iran to the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to the north. There is a short border with China to the far northeast, but in extremely inaccessible terrain.

Afghanistan has been the centre of many powerful empires for the past 2,000 years. However, in the last 30 years the country has been in chaos due to major wars -- from the Soviet invasion of 1979 to their withdrawal in 1989 and from warlordism to the removal of the Taliban in 2001 and the ensuing American and NATO invasion. Economically, Afghanistan is considered poor compared to many other nations of the world. The country is currently going through a nation-wide rebuilding process.

Temperatures in the central highlands are below freezing for most of the winter, and snow is common at higher elevations. Summertime highs in lower elevations (such as Jalalabad or Mazar-e Sharif) can exceed 50°C/120°F. In higher areas such as Kabul, summer temperatures can be 30°C/90°F and winter around 0°C/30°F. The most pleasant weather in Kabul is during April, May and September.

Mostly rugged mountains; plains in north and southwest. The Hindu Kush mountains run northeast to southwest, dividing the northern provinces from the rest of the country, with the highest peaks found in the northern Wakhan Corridor. South of Kandahar is desert. Kandahar is beautiful in many places.

Cities & destinations of Afghanistan :

Kabul - in the east, the capital city

This is largely due to the unique positioning of the city -- in the heart of the Middle East, in the center of the world and at the intersection of 3 continents. Damascus was conquered by Alexander the Great in 333 BCE, and since then, it's been taken over by dozens of empires such as Roman, Arab and Ottoman.

I have spent the first few days of my trip in Syria in this amazing city, and I'm loving it so much that I wanted to dedicate an entire video to show you what it's like to visit.

One thing that I didn't mention much in the video is about how SAFE it is in Damascus. I can't speak yet for the rest of Syria, but as far as this city goes (in this current day), I feel extremely safe just like I do in any other big city around the world.

MORE TO COME SOON!

The 6 Earliest Human Civilizations | Exploring Ancient History | Info Bites

Modern civilizations exist on every continent except Antarctica, but most researchers believe that civilization began between 4000 and 3000 B.C. in Iraq, Egypt, India, China, Peru, and Mexico.
Starting with Mesopotamia, these sophisticated cultures developed cultural and technological breakthroughs that survive today. “A great many of the details of modern life, not just in the Middle East and the West, but across the world, have origins that go back for thousands of years to the ancient cultures in their respective regions,” says Amanda Podany, author and history professor emeritus at California State Polytechnic University.
Here are six early civilizations and their legacies.
1. Mesopotamia, 4000-3500 B.C.
Mesopotamia—Iraq, Kuwait, and Syria—is the birthplace of civilization. Despite near-constant warfare, the Tigris-Euphrates culture made significant advances in reading, astronomy, agriculture, law, mathematics, architecture, and more. Babylon, Ashur, and Akkad were the first urban cities.
“Mesopotamia is the earliest urban literate civilization on the globe—and the Sumerians, who established the civilization, established the ground rules,” says Kenneth Harl, author, consultant, and Tulane University history professor emeritus. “Those who can research and write run civilization and everyone else does the grunt work.”
The Code of Hammurabi was written in cuneiform. The base 60 numeric system spawned the 60-second minute, 60-minute hour, and 360-degree circle. Babylonian astrology first divided the year into 12 periods named after constellations—what the Greeks would later call the zodiac.
Persia invaded Mesopotamia in 539 B.C. Centuries of instability followed.
“Within the three millennia in which ancient Mesopotamia flourished, innumerable individual kingdoms came and went, and a few empires rose and fell for various reasons,” says Podany, author of the upcoming Weavers, Scribes, and Kings: A New History of the Ancient Near East. But at its core, the civilization was recognizably the same from roughly 3500 BC to 323 BC—and, many would argue, beyond that. The culture was stable but the territory rarely unified.”
2. Ancient Egypt, 3100 B.C.
Ancient Egypt, one of the most idealized civilizations, ruled for over 3,000 years. The civilization, which once stretched from Syria to Sudan along the fertile Nile River, is most renowned for its pyramids, tombs, mausoleums, and mummification of corpses.
Empires of the Steppes: How the Steppe Nomads Forged the Modern World author Harl argues Egypt's utilization of labor for architectural projects like the pyramids was unmatched. He thinks the capacity to gather 100,000 men to build the huge pyramid in 2600 B.C. is unmatched.
He adds that Egyptians excelled in agriculture and medicine. They also created beautiful sculpture and art.
Egyptians left enormous writing and mathematics systems. The pyramids and other constructions were designed using the cubit, a forearm-length measurement. They created the 24-hour day and 365-day calendar. They developed the hieroglyphic graphic writing system and the ink-on-papyrus system. Alexander the Great captured the civilization in 332 B.C.
3. Ancient India, 3300 B.C.
Harl states Hinduism was developed in ancient India, where religion, literature, and architecture were valued. Reincarnation and the birthright caste system are still taught in the Upanishads, revered Hindu texts.
The Indus River Valley Civilization (modern-day India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan) was not war-torn like other ancient civilizations. Instead, historians and archaeologists point to sophisticated city planning with grids, homogeneous baked-brick dwellings, and drainage, sewage, and water delivery systems.
