Anyone wondering how the pinned comment was posted 2 days ago but the video has been up for only 6 hours?
Do not use better help
I've learned more from infographics than I did from highschool
Neat
Can we throw a "The" in the title (How "The" richest city in history collapsed)? I feel like it is grammatically correct, but it just doesn't read right…… Just my thoughts.
*The
The infographic show gives me information that I now know they tell the story of snarios and real life it's like a paradise from fallen cities that they have in store especially nuclear war.
To be honest, I watch your videos as a means of easily getting bored and falling asleep. Although your content is interesting, your consistently monotonous tone and lack of vocal variation make it effortless for me to doze off. I have been using your videos as a sleep aid for the past year and a half, and they never disappointed me 😄
Today, I decided to watch your channel during the day, but to my surprise, I still fell asleep involuntarily. This time, I didn't intend to do so. I recommend that you experiment with adding various tones to your voice and changing the pitch in order to make your content more engaging. Listening to the same tone and pitch for a 20-minute period can easily bore anyone.
Ah.. if you change your tone, then i need to find another channel for dozing off. Never mind, ignore the feedback 😄
Spoiler alert: it collapsed because they just kept printing money and raising the debt ceiling while also bailing out banks of the time.
What happened?, Putin nuked it…. Infographics style..
People have always been the same. Society isn't natural and that's the first problem. We all have animalistic habits because that's what we are at our base.
Love your channel and your content! that being said I need to set some things straight about this video. Sargon of Akkad started the Assyrian empire. Although Babylon at times was ruled by a Assyrian king and rolled into the Assyrian empire ( like many other cities) it was not always so. Sargon of Akkad was the first of about 90 or so Assyrian kings that ruled the largest empire to date like (Ashur-bani-Paul, Sargon II, Sargon II, tigleth pallasarr etc) Sargon wasn’t Babylonian , he was Assyrian and our history has been denied/watered down and misappropriated enough already. With love of course thanks!
I'm upset that Babbel didn't sponsor this
Dear infographic show and it's cast.
I've been a loyal air-conditioner thur out the years and I just wanted to tell you. We're all getting sick and tired of the war in Ukraine and that seems to be your main topic now. tbh I've started to miss/skip a couple video. please remember that the infographic show is very diverse
The Walls of Babylon are impassible… unless… of course… your the Mongols.
cue @crashcourse's Mongol-tage
Correction: writting had been invented before Babylon. Way before, by the Sumerians.
Get wrecked Babylon. 👊
Kuch bhi
Iraq is dead. No water.
Maybe I missed it (listened to the video while in shower), but I didn't hear the video mention Alexander the Great and the Greek control of Babylon. It mentions the self-rule of the Babylonians, rule by the Medo-Persians, but what about the Greeks?
It was clearly still in good condition at that time, because I believe Alexander the Great was taken by its beauty
Fun fact: modern researchers thought the city of Babylon NEVER existed, and they went to The Tanakh; “Old Testament,” to see if the city ACTUALLY existed, and low and behold it did! They used it as a geographical guide to find the city.
Babble on babble off babble on babble off
MENE MENE TEKEL UPRASIN!
The last kings of Babylon just couldn't see the handwriting on the wall.

Civilization 5 taught me they have good archers
The Persians massing outside Babylon, biding their time, then marching under its great walls made me think of the biblical story of the Battle of Jericho. In that, the Israelite armies marched around the city for seven days, then blew their horns and the walls fell. I wonder if the Persian soldiers waiting outside so long, then suddenly appearing inside the city's walls had some influence on that story.
POV: Noticing random change from “years before the god child/Christ is born”.. to “years BCE” ..
The tower was in Babel not Babylon. It was possibly Eridu.
Still waiting for 1000 days in a nuclear war
Reminds me of Civ5, picking Babylon to be King Nebu-CHAD-nezzar.
All hail Marduk!
American is next
Great video!
Thumbnail looks like the EU headquarters
Tower of Babel tried to reach the Kingdom of Heaven but God cursed them with various languages to confuse them to their downfall
It would be so nice to be able to time travel or experience any time in history that you want. I would do this so much. If it had no negative repercussions of course.
I was waiting for the part about Alexander the Great. Why was that not mentioned?
More serial killer profiles, please
everyone will fall in the hand of persians
You know, it's titles like this that made me realize, I don't want to watch your videos …
It's regrettable that in most cities today (thanks to zero leadership), in their attempt to make it "beautiful" don't start with the basics: like how about a "clean" city, good streets, before art and "bling". You really see some of the craziest, ridiculous and poor quality (yet expensive) art in city "beautification". Right next to the trash on the potholed street.
What would happen if the Yanks went rogue.
The Tower of Babel is a different story from the story of Babylon. Just thought I'd point that out
The Tower of Babble was built way before Babylonia. There is so much proof in the Bible and in geology. How did they not catch this?
Don’t support better help they are still a bad look for your channel, remember the better help controversy?
Prince of Persia —> Sands of time. I SEE YOU
Ancient Babylonia is like America it is also in danger like America is
how? these cities had people like you in charge where only one or few believed to have all the right to think
