    Life in modern day Iraq is nothing like ancient Mesopotamia 🇮🇶 |S8, EP31



    In this episode, I leave Al Najaf and cross through the heart of ancient Mesopotamia. The cradle of civilization, where the first writing originated. The site of Uruk is historically very important, and I am amazed that I am the only visitor there. The ziggurat of Ur is just as impressive and I end a long day in Nasriyah.

      You're like a smiley ray of sunshine on a motorbike! great to watch you being disarmingly open and friendly to everyone and anyone, i think it works because from you it's genuine and people can see that and respond accordingly.
      A lesson for us all.

      Greetings from Iraq, BTW the purpose of the flat top of this pyramid is for spaceships to land at that time by the ET = God = the Ruler. … 🙂 and I am not joking!

      Do you know about the rivefr of Euphrates and Tigris and Karun is coming together in southern Iraq? The river of Karun is going into Iran and it is believed to be the river of Gihon in the Bible.
      This could be an area you would be interested in exploring, the Karun river going into Iran.
      Tigris and Euphrates are coming together in Iraq

      Hey I just wanted you to know that unfortunately someone is unfortunately pretending to be you on tik tok you may want to look into that.
      With that being said, enjoy the rest of your ride in the Middle East

      Mooie aflevering weer. Geeft je een veel echter beeld van Irak. Je moet er wel de tijd voor nemen met al die controle posten en iedereen die een praatje wilt maken.

    34. @gprnick on

      Haha wel hilarisch dat iedere keer bij een controle gevraagd word waar je vandaan komt terwijl ze letterlijk je paspoort in hun handen hebben.

      I'm from Ethiopia 🇪🇹, I loved how Iraqi people are welcoming and kind hearted. It is now in my bucket list. I surely visit Iraq someday. Inshallah What a beautiful nation they are! Thank you Noraly. Keep inspiring us.❤

      What a fabulous hotel room! Fit for the queen of motorcycle touring. One would think that a civilization that could build such a city could build some canals to bring water to the city? And where did everyone go to?

      NORALY, 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 voor de schitterende beelden van Ur en Uruk die je hebt laten zien! Plekken waar je stil van wordt en je je realiseert hoe geweldig geschiedenis kan zijn. Deed mij heel wat om terug te zien! Ik was er in 2003. M’n naam staat nog in het gastenboek van Ur. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻zeg ik met tranen in mijn ogen.

      Hi Noraly, I am amazed by your congeniality with everyone, and of course with your courage to embark on such a journey. Thanks for your video blog. Keep posting and safe travels. 🙏

      Most of the soldiers you see are not official state soldiers. For your information, security is very problematic since there is no state under a single flag there. You should be careful.

      Have a good rest and sufficient water too noraly! As a rider myself is sure is tiring going many and also far far places. Uruk is so fascinating ❤. Take care noraly!
