This is a brief overview of four significant empires in ancient Mesopotamia. This five minute video will explore the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires. We take a quick look at some of their more significant achievements.
Disclaimer:
As much as I desire to share as much as I can about the topics in the forthcoming episode, I understand that I have five minutes or less to expose information. There will be info skipped, glossed over or missed. These episodes are supposed to be a starting point for learning about the topics, not an ending point.
Enjoy the episode.
