I’m writing a cookbook inspired by the worlds oldest recipes written in Mesopotamia 4, 000 years ago. If you go to www.tableofgods.com/yt you can get three of these ancient recipes 😊

[Ashur-Mesopotamia]

Mesopotamia is the homeland of the Assyrians. The famous royal cities of the Assyrians, Ashur, Nimrud (Kalhu), Arbela, Dur-Sharrukin and Nineveh were built in it. The Assyrians ruled for approximately 1, 300 years - from about 2000 B.C. to 612/10 BC – in northern Mesopotamia (now Iraq, Syria, Iran, Turkey), an ancient landscape between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. A clear reference to the existence of the Assyrians, on the other hand, can already be found in the Old Testament (1st Book of Moses 2:14).
There it says:
* “… the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates..." ❤️🤍💙

this is truly a fascinating story, thank you for sharing it ^^

[Ashur-Uballit-lll]

This story touched my heart, may our queen “great Shamiram” rest in peace for ever

[milanmadhani]

Great as she was. She lost two thirds of her army against the Indian king, Stabrobates (Satyavrata).

'She ruled Asia effectively and added Libya and Aethiopia to the empire. She went to war with King Stabrobates (Satyavrata) of India, having her artisans build an army of false elephants by putting manipulated skins of dark-skinned buffaloes over her camels to deceive the Indians into thinking she had acquired real elephants. This ploy succeeded initially, but then she was wounded in the counterattack and her army mainly annihilated, forcing the surviving remnants to re-ford the Indus and retreat to the west.[21]"

[alamgirkhan]

Semiramis was defeated by a small Bharatiya king or tribal chieftain Raja Satyabrata or King Straboutas, when she attacked Bharat.

What an amazing historical figure! The real Queen Semiramis ruled the throne 811 - 806 B.C. until her son became old enough to take over. And, no, she didn't marry her son. It was her legacy that enticed Alexander Hislop to unite her with Nimrod - who lived thousands of years earlier, tarnishing her name and her legacy.

Semiramis was a great empress. But she lost to an Indian chieftain (Not even a King). But it's understandable. But her remaining conquests were amazing.

Proud to be Assyrian/Armenian, althought my dna shows 💯 Mesopotamian!

Wow beautiful, my name is Sumiramis, my Mom watched an Arabian movie in Cuba when sje was 15 yrs old and she said that would be her girls name, so here i am with a slight misspelled vowell as I'm sure after many years she forgot correct spelling and its alright..
Before i knew about my name origins, I've always felt a great Spiritual pull towards, Egypt, Syria, Peesia all Meditarranian Music aswell Food and History, after many years one day in an spiritual Holistic Store i see in a small pamphlet my name but with an E, Semiramis..
I Truly believe in Reincarnation having such Deep feelings in my Soul about this places, finding myself being a Strong Warrior a Defender for those that don't have a voice, Love Kids yet don't have any of my own Yet, I can Truly say this is something i would do indeed no questions asked a Lioness alright. Thank you for this beautiful Story about her life a Glimpse of the truth in which i Love. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

Another great video just like the 14 other videos before it. Keep them coming! :)

The legend says she fell in love with the Armenian king Ara (nicknamed the handsome). This legend is still loved in Armenia, and the figure of Shamiram (one of the ways of calling Semiramidas) is one of beloved in the Armenian art and poetry

My biggest dream for a time now is that someday they will make a great epic film of this fascinating woman and let the whole world know about the courageous true story of this queen that she was and not this nonsense about her being the wife of Nimrod

[VosperCDN]

She also had what we'd call good PR spin today, "marketing" herself as "Mother of the King", so as to be seen as supplementing the King, not displacing him (or the position).
