URUK: IRAQ , WHERE CIVILIZATION BEGAN اسكتلندية في أوروك

#Uruk #Iraqvlog #Mesopotania
The Ancient City of Uruk. The first major city , built in 5th Century BC!! Gilgamesh ,The king of the city's first Dynasty , built the walls of the city 4,700 years ago as Cuneiform texts indicate ( the first writing ever)
It was all so totally overwhelming to be here standing on what is considered to be the worlds first City, or at least the first known city thats been discovered yet! There are so so many places that haven't even been discovered yet!! The ground almost sounded hollow as we walked on certain areas, knowing that there were 5 floors beneath me at some points was unimaginable to me!
I don't usually visit such historical places like this when i travel , but this was quite a mind changing experience. i stood there looking at my feet and there were literally thousands of pieces of pottery lying around from thousands of years ago!! I know history buffs will have a field day in places like this! its such a shame that things are just left this way, with no protection, just being trampled on, i actually felt like i was walking on some unforbidden sacred land!
Many thanks to the guys at Akitu Tourism for taking me here and giving someone clueless like me a good explaination of things...i would love to go back again now that i know more about this place and the history! its MIND BLOWING!!! i had no idea what i was setting foot on until i started to research more after i had been here!! its quite an out of the way place and is only open certain hours, so for me i wouldn't have been able to go here without the help of these guys! i will link their FB page below ! mote historic places to come!
