In this video we take a look at some of the lesser known peoples of the Zagros Mountains in early antiquity. While it's clear that they interacted with the literate and urban civilizations of Mesopotamia to the west, little is known about these diverse and mysterious peoples living within the Zagros Mountains. However, recent archaeological excavations and research have shed some light on who these fascinating people were and a bit about how they may have lived.

    Hi everyone, I accidently said "west" instead of "east" a couple of times in video which several of you thankfully caught. The maps though are correct so if you're watching there should be no confusion. I'll do my best to catch any slips in future videos... thanks for watching!
  • @johnnysmall
    Nobody does it like Cy. Some of the most unique and under covered subjects and always well researched and presented, truly the best
  • I was thinking about the ancient and brave Kurds as soon as I started watching the video!
  • @ghalibrabaa4975

  • @Evagelopoulos862
    Zagros a holly mountain for the Kurdish people. There is an Orphic myth about a deity Zagreus,a preolympian god in Orphic-Dionysian mysteries , and even a referiment from Xenophon for a population inhabited in this area call them Karduhoi.

    It is a real miracle that any sources about this culture have survived to our times. It is wonderful that you popularize facts from ancient history, so unknown to the public. You are the best!❤
  • @FlashPointHx
    Fascinating video and so well done! I’ve always wondered what it would be like to travel in the Zagros Mountains.
  • I have to say Cy, this is one of the best episodes I've seen in a while. I'm a fan of all of your content, but I especially love when you go over little-known archaeology like this. Personally, I would love to participate in excavations In the area if ever I were able. Well done, as always - and thank you!
  • @robbabcock_
    Wonderful video! I'm fascinated by "cradle of civilization" and how the earliest societies came about.

    I'm 54. When I was school age history was just boring to me. If we would've had lessons like this I might have become another kind of person. Thank you Cy 💖
