In Portuguese (Brazil at least), it's a common expression to say " Pra lá de Baghdad" (lit: "beyond Baghdad") when referring to something amazing. Positive or negative connotation comes from context: can be wonderful, hard to imagine/understand or something exotic, mysterious or even strange. Legend or truth, the city has an impact. And as they say, when the legend becomes the truth, print the legend. Keep up the good work mate.

Baghdad fell twice to the Mongols. The first time, at the hands of Hulagu, which led to the destruction of the Abbasid state in Iraq. The second time, at the hands of Timurlane, which led to the fall of the Jalayirid state . Timurlane perpetrated a massacre of the people of Baghdad no less brutal than Hulagu. Contemporary historians not only recounted the events, but also depicted these massacres. There are contemporary paintings of Timurlane making mountains of skulls in Baghdad. The Mongols were more brutal than we can imagine.

he issue doesn't just concern Baghdad, but almost all Iraqi cities, from the Sumerian and Akkadian eras to the modern era. Only modest ruins remain, despite the fact that Iraq was the center of Mesopotamian, Iranian, Greek, and Arab civilizations and empires. The reason is simple: Iraqi architecture is made of "building bricks," which come from clay, not stone, and clay only lasts a short time and then fades away. I believe the only civilization that left such strong traces was the Assyrian one, because it was located in northern Iraq, near the mountains, and therefore used rock instead of clay in construction. Therefore, most of the architectural monuments are Assyrian, not Babylonian, Sumerian, or Akkadian.

People often forgot how influential the Caliphates was. It was once the centre of the world with wealth and trade networks, it changed the power dynamic in the middle east, it translated Greek and Persian literature into Arabic which eventually led to new discoveries, discoveries that the West would have its foundation built on. And all of that is forgotten by people who only see the religion as backwards when in reality it only advanced the world

I think playing AC Mirage might be the closest thing to experiencing the ancient city of Baghdad, the developers did an amazing job the city to life, it breaks my heart knowing what the mongols did to it
@iamleoooo
The video ends in 12:58 hmm…
@Ash-d3q
Mongols happened
@hussein.k3508
I'm an Iraqi, and I'm so honored to see your video on our ancient city of Baghdad ❤
@adampleasants2078
Oh my god I love the way you presented the story of the foundation of Baghdad as a father telling a story to his daughter, to reflect the narrativized nature of the history as it has come to our time. It's so beautiful and so human, I love it.
@amiir66
I played AC Mirage, and Baghdad is just beautiful
@adamthaeer217
The use of building materials was one of the major problems faced by Mesopotamian cities such as Ur, Eshnunna, Uruk, Babylon, Ashur, and later cities like Kufa, Basra, and Baghdad.
@ojitr
As an Iraqi, I hope that the matter remains hidden and no one tries to explore it because the government is corrupt and will steal and sell everything
@Journal_Haris
It is so satisfying to see how good you've gotten with blender. Ah man this was like watching a film! That mongol invasion scene was spectacular. Props to you! Thoroughly enjoyed the video.

@Elixanne
Super interesting video, and extremely well executed. The visualisations and animations make this easy to digest, thank you!
@mrmedia_99
Beautiful! Baghdad is my Roman empire, would've loved to experience it. Still want to visit sometime

I thought Secrets of The First Order would be just another book talking about conspiracies. I wasn’t expecting much. But it completely shook me. It didn’t just suggest hidden truths, it tore everything wide open. Every page felt like a cold splash of water to the face. If you’ve ever felt like something is deeply off in the world but couldn’t explain it, this book connects all of it.
