  1. What's crazy is just how grand and great our current civilization is in comparison to all the rest. Their golden ages are just like "Yeah, they had lots of wheat and barely and wood from far away. And the weather was pretty nice too."… Meanwhile our golden age is putting people in space, developing lightspeed communication, and overnight global travel. It's not even close.

  2. I find it interesting that this narrative can go on almost for hours talking about Assure BonnyPile's life and tribulations when the reality is that almost all of these ancient kings/pharaohs had a ruling life span of only a decade, bingo, they're here, they're gone before you know it. This story could have been completed in far less time with a little work on editing.

  3. The king's illness sounds like liver disease to me. I don't know if they had hepatitis viruses back then but his lethargy, nausea & skin rashes sound like cirrhosis.

  4. As a Chaldean/Assyrian from Iraqi I want to say thank you for this 👍🏼 we still speak sureth at home which is a language combination of akadean Aramaic if im not mistaken.

  5. Thank you for this wonderful program. Particularly enjoyed the history of Israel. Proof that Israel is & was their homeland. Hezekiah was a good king, even though he made some mistakes. God, the one true God, will always defend Israel.
