Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I love this channel.
Their Aztecs one was gloriously informative.
Amazing Chanel!!
Oh nice! A new episode! Love Fall of Civilizations.
Just caught the first half last night. Love this podcast. Keep it up Paul Cooper!
Hey its my people. My parents immigrated here from Iraq in 1973.
I remember sitting in a Ancient Civilization class in college when my professor told the class "Assyrians do not exist anymore"
Had an existential crisis right there in the classroom.
I found out recently that I've been saying the phrase "Your hand is lovely/blessed" instead of "You have a lovely holiday" (basically our way of saying Happy Holidays, but we reserve it for Easter/Christmas). No one told me I was saying it wrong for 30+ years.
Not sure if it is just a thing in my family or whatnot, but Assyrians don't have a word for jeans. We either say jeans (In English)...or (again, not sure if it is other Assyrians who say it) "pants of the cowboy"
Chicago, Detroit, California and Arizona are the main hubs of Assyrians in America.
F. Murray Abraham is half Assyrian.
Our version of dumplings (almost every culture has their dumpling) is ground up rice (made into a sorta of dough/paste?) stuffed with meat, herbs and spices, formed into a sorta football shape, cooked in a kinda/sorta sour tomato broth/soup that has spinach and some other greens.
My family makes 4 different types of 'dolma': We use traditional grape leaves, but also cabbage, swiss chard, and 'colors', which is basically a bunch of different veggies stuffed with the rice filling (eggplant, zucchini, peppers, onions, so when you take it out of the oven, you just see a ton of different colors in the dish).
Saw that one yesterday or two days ago! It was crazy good!! The work put in is astonishing!!
Iām Assyrian
I read that as "Empire of Iran" which isn't too far off. I think about half a million Assyrian people still live in the middle East. But more than anywhere else live in Iraq.
