Who built the first modern city and why did it change history forever?
Ancient Mesopotamia, first city in history, birth of civilization,
This video explores the true story of Uruk, the world’s first known city, built over 5,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern-day Iraq.

Discover how the rise of agriculture and irrigation allowed humans to produce food surplus, freeing time for planning, governing, and dreaming. Learn how Uruk became the largest settlement on Earth, home to nearly 50,000 people, and why its size forced the invention of writing, known as cuneiform—the foundation of recorded history.

This documentary-style video reveals how planned streets, temples, laws, trade, and specialized jobs first appeared inside Uruk’s walls, shaping everything from modern cities to governments and economies. It also examines the hidden cost of civilization, including inequality, disease, hard labor, and war.

From the birth of writing to the rise of laws and centralized power, this video answers one of history’s biggest questions:
Was the first city humanity’s greatest achievement—or the beginning of its greatest struggles?

Perfect for viewers interested in ancient history, civilization origins, Mesopotamian culture, and true historical documentaries.
