Droughts can sometimes have some surprising benefits, such as helping archaeologists discover a 3,500-year-old city in northern Iraq.
Kemune, which once overlooked the Tigris river, can be dated to the time of the Mittani Empire, a kingdom of the Ancient Near East.
Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid reports from Kemune.

#AncientCity
Isis has entered the chat
The ancient city might be part of the Persian Empire and must be preserved.
ANCIENT CITY? …VEDIC “MAHABHARAT” PERIOD, 5000 YEARS AGO…
ALSO, MAN-MADE “RAM SETU” – CURRENTLY KNOWN AS ‘ADAMS BRIDE’ (1.7 million years old) DESCRIBED ACCURATELY WITHIN VEDIC INDIAN SCRIPTURES.
@Roronoa Senpai those rocks only form the islands . Now the scriptures may not exactly say how it is like and will use metaphors or some sort of exaggeration ; well it’s a literary work after all and not a geography book . So such figures of speech may be used or things might be mentioned in a way that it appears but unrealistic because that’s what literary works have ..even now .
@Roronoa Senpai Lol, It was Perceived as Floating Boulders coz of Limestone rocks at Top.. But it was STONE Laden one up above. Don’t Push the False Narrative
Vedas were written by immigrants from central asia
@Shaurya Banerjee China, middle East have oldest cities in the world
@Roronoa Senpai bering strait was also connected to North America by land
Be happy Daesh ( arab sub-humanes) not discovered iT first.
Maybe this city was spared by Bush terrorists invasion.
Lool it’s Israel part
PKMK B Ghazwa-e-Hind
No, its a part of bobs and vegana.
Bro there lived a sanatan civilization,archaeological source found 6000 years old ram and hanuman cravings there in Iraq.
Good more graves to rob and abuse.
john gillon you’d advocate for theft and desecration of graves?
iraq is a very beautiful country
It was.
Did they find weapons of mass murder hidden by Saddam?
@T Allen you’re missing the point… he used them! I’m not sure why you’re defending him. You want to try arguing a defense for Hitler also perhaps?
@Matt Rogerson YOU are avoiding the point; which IS…..that Saddam had accomplices in his murders. Avoiding the WHOLE truth is same as lying.
@Matt Rogerson The name was Schikelgruber; not Hitler. Say it right or shut up.
@T Allen you are delusional. Go crawl back under the rock you came from DONKEY!
Uncle Sam nope.
I would never name my child suicide bomber. Isnt that what jihad means? In america thats what jihad means
Middle East: cradle of civilisation. Love to know more…
They were idol worshippers, destroy it.😁😁
@Munir Naqvi exmuslim I guess he’s being sarcastic
Wait till the mountain of gold is found from the Euphrates
Roronoa Senpai i still think its oil cuz its being used like money so that gold part comes into the picture when u think of it
@Aqil Baghdad
Don’t be naive mate, the Prophet’s life mission was not for the American dollar, for the value of petroleum comes from the Petro-dollar; the $ is pegged to it..
The Prophet’s priorities were focused on the $ ?
Of course not.
@Hamza Hartley true brother
Lol! Who needs a “Mountain of Gold” and other fairytales today with the Ocean of Oil underneath you!
@Lion King
Call it Fairy tale all you wish, once the gold emerges, we know what you dungbeetles will do.
Oil is pegged to the $, that’s why it’s valuable. Once the $ falls, nothing remains.
Mesopotamia is full of history it’s a shame now run by arabs
The arabs started a new golden age in the region and built new cities. The mongols ruined most of these ancient cities and killed most of scientific communities. The land was never as stable since then. Their last attempt of renaissance was ruined by the US-israel. They fear if they get strong and stable again then there’ll be no more free oil and weapon deals that serves their interests
Al Jazeera shouldnt show video about this.Those were idol worshippers, do not excavate.😄😄😄
Will it be ruined too?
That’s could Be Golden city By the Teaching of Islam Telling by Our Prophet PBH.
They haven’t made much progress have they? Lawllll
Owned by China in ancient times. ……

All middle eastern history is pretty much persian history, pretty much most of worlds history is related to persian culture and history, eveery nation in the world should thank us and pay hommage to the greatest people to ever touch this earth!!
Mob MOB so are you saying The Sumerians & Sargon the great the Akkadian empire & king Hammurabi the Babylonian & the story of Gilgamesh & enki the annunakis they are Persians wow I didn’t know that’s thanks
@annunaki yea pretty much and assyrians barley exist and what about us? The story tells itself you wish it was the other way around but its not lol, plus mesopotamia , babylon also goes in to our history, so now what?!
The ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia were earlier than the persian empire. Semitic people too so not really related to aryans. Just because the persian empire managed to conquer that land at some point in history it doest make it theirs. Persians actually copied the assyrians and babylonians in their culture because mesopotamian civilisations were older.
@RMSF1 buddy the assyrians and babylonian doesnt exist lol, and People lived there before them to so whats your point?! Assyrians, and kurds are fighting an air war, yall think that if you say something over and over it will become reality, not very smart people really , i am talking about things that acctually was useful not no mythological creatures, and we are still There and winning , nobody knows of loser assyrians lol , we have inspired the world !!
Soon we will have proof AFRICANS invented this civilization, and all others
@Ibbs 69 shut up and obey your black master, caveman
B.C Drisk Not invented, evolved from many cultures.
Its a legimate Kurdish regional government, it would be fair to call it like that.
This is so cool.I’d love to be an archeologist. How amazing . I hope to hear more about this city of old ♡
That’s cool
Cool. If by any chance theres intellectually advanced animals in the future of this planet after climate change and ww3 happens, they might be doing archeology and discovering New York City.
ليقرأ كل قارئ اللعنة على الملك ميتاليون الخائن القذر
DON’T TELL ISIS, ALKHIDA, J Se Mhomed, THEY WILL BOMBARD ENTIRE REGION for not being Islamic. Thank god sun ☀ & moon🌙 are for away, AIR / WIND IS INVISIBLE OTHERWISE THEY MAY EVEN BOMBARD IT.
Irrelevant bobs and vegana.
Hopefully American air attacks and terrorist groups with bomb it
The banking cartel now lobbying to fund for the treasure hunt n keep on the looting spree of Iraq
Pls send taliban to destroy old civilization n establish Islamic Rule. Your Morons
If we will not stop islam then centuries later our civilization will become one like these so keep away from islam and try to stop it. If they can spread it it with help of swords we can stop by doing the same. Peace, have a good day**
** ( only applies for non-islamic religions ).
Hinduism is way worse tho. Scammers everywhere
ok USA, UK & United Nation. Do your thing. Another invasion incoming
time to give some more democracy for iraq
Islam telling the truth
Greater history and civilisation than Israel Europe and America combined. God bless Iraq. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Later US bombs this place claiming it as a potential threat to them
Trump is ready for robbed this treasure , he says this is USA property
@Gaming For A Day American is a big robber , because he Robb the red Indian land , 😂😂😂😂
f there is any evidence which refutes the Jew narrative; it wiil be quickly snatched up; to be altered, destroyed, or hidden. They go everywhere doing this.
The red indian didn’t created the Land
God created the Land
Not
Is that because global warming?
Iraq is very special
This will be destroyed too soon….🤓🤓
its great to see archeology returning to northern iraq. God bless the usa and that base on the syrian border. it truly blocked out issis.
All is looted by European empires before local people know about it
All the comment is just racist ignoranat speech .
I have never seen a such racist and ignorant people in the world .
Subhan Allah❤️
Islam destroyed the the statues and made iraq backwards
Islam destroyed civilization
And that’s why America tries to destroy this ancient country….
you’re awesome // iraq is a wondrous place with extraordinary potential of becoming something great but western imperialists don’t like the thought of having competition. They don’t even trust the German people (Austria+Germany) to unite
You’re mistaken. Your own islamic kingdoms slaughtered each other, and thoroughly ruined the entire middle east region which was once the richest in the world, with their horrible administration, and poor education since they would rather pray 6 times a day than study.
You should thank Americans for saving Iraq from yet another islamofascist supremacist maniac who genocided his own people and neighbors.
It’s very interesting to know this, as someone who is born in Duhok
Proud to be Assyrian
It is a Mitanni City not an Assyrian
Rain Hawk It’s certainly not Kurdish, that’s for sure. As the Kurds only came to Iraq as refugiees few decades ago.
@Mani 101 ashuri is semitic people like Arabs and emigrated from Habasha to southern Iraq.
Ashuri people is dead like dinasoure now.
This is about the Kurdish Mittanian’s, not ashuri your ashuri cities are located in southern and central of Iraq.
Check the map where is ashur Babylon, uruk, Nippur all thise cities occupied by Arabs now
Ancient city discovered in northern Iraq….About the same level of development as in today’s Iraqi cities.
wow people in the west r so brainwashed it’s sad
Let me just say this Kurd weren’t in iraq they came later on, I love how they trying to link themself to the ancient civilization. Assyrian and Babylon sorry to break it up to the reporter but those were the land owner Kurd are settlers from the east
Iraq was the Centre of Civilization well ahead of its time in
13 century. God had put Great Treasures in the land for its people and the World to live and strive for Success.
Please rilig al jazeera urdu chenal in India please
its called for Iraqi Kurdistan not northern Iraq
when can AlJazeera respect ethnic grops and Kurds?
@Golden Movies nope kurdishstan isnt in text their never race call Kurds or kurdishstan Sumerian is oldest in records in iraq
chris windham where did Kurds come from?
chris windham where did Kurds come from then? Exactly you couldn’t answer my question
@Anwar Kattan
But Kurds and Gypsy are different.
@chris windham This about the Kingdom of Mittani the Kurds ancestors.
Mongolia is the turks home.
Ashuri cities are located in southern and central of Iraq.
Breaking news Jews have declared this city anti semitic.
They have called for Nuclear attack on the city waters
😂
The iceman was like 2k years older
Ancient Iraq and Ancient India was rich in cultural, trade and commerce but Alas! rise of religion destroyed both the countries civilization
My friend not rise of religion rise of zionism destroyed muslim spain and old baghdad was prime example of rise of religion. One more thing present day America most advanced and same time most christian country of the world I dnt know why people like u always blame religion its not a religion but an athiestic approach of greed and hunger on the other hand most religion promote love share n care.
Greeks!!! No other people built anything..
Allahu fuckbar. Mohammed is not the messenger, he’s gay
Imperial Japan did Allah used nuclear ☢️ on your people go n bow down to west like ur father before they used again nuclear ☢️ on u lol
Agree
Hi my family is from northern Iraq we are Chaldean
John Isho no one cares
i care
For all the heaters commenting on here , with middle eastern names.
If Iraq right now is struggling ,it is because of the following reasons.
#1 Iran interfering in the government.
#2 corruption. Which most of you are. It is in your DNA.
#3 Noury Al Maliky , who should be hang by now.
#4 your politicians are lazy , stupid , oh yes corrupt.
Should I continue.
Revalue your daan currencie , give people their fare share of the oil whealt.
And stop blaming on us the USA.
It is all your fault , for electing , such an incompetent government.
hey dumbass, how do you think the current iraqi government came to power? The americans executed and exiled pretty much all of the old government. all whats left are those like maliki. so yes, it’s america’s fault for destroying Iraq, since before 2003 it was a good country.
Pazuzu
And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong – so it is [now] fallen into ruin – and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace. Surah Hajj verse 45
Islam destroyed everything
😆😆😆 idiot.
Yeah , isis already done this thing in Syria.
Isis is coming……to protect islam😆😆😆😆😆😆 …….
You gave new target to ISIS and al queda
Iraq used to be the most fearful nation and an amazing Nation with Saddam but now they are laughing at the nation. BTW I don’t care about those peace peace Kurds.
@L B you are a sore loser man get a life
Finally iran will realise that islam is just 800 years old and all the irani people are actually mixture of greeks and Indian Hindus..
Other way is correct one
*Oh gosh, now white peoples are going to want to come see it.*
Pashtun Boy
Nope.
godscop999
White people are the only race on earth with no culture
@reality check This comment screams “I’m American”
@Pashtun Boy that’s why Europe is covered in stone historical buildings 😒
Even the “primitive” tribes like the celts lived in stone huts
reality check
Why are you on about oddball? We’re all one species and all coloured. Culture isn’t informed as a direct result of skin pigmentation.
Apart from maybe some having a propensity to use sunscreen more than others.
thanks tony blair
I hope the country can save the artifacts!
You will find those artifacts few years later in USA museum or UK!
Rahad Rahman
They are already stealing stuff
Please Keep it a secret becuse now they have new target enemy to destroys.
Neat. … … Like in Blade III.
Last month live size rock carvings of hindu gods where found also! India has send an Archeological teams on Iraq goverment request! Baalbek Lebanon has been comfirmed and established to be a hindu temple by the Lebanese goverment. Broken moon stone near the kabaa looks like a Shiva lingam. Islam is just 1400 years old but zoroastrianism, babylonian and vedic cultures are 30 to 50.000 years old.
@Pashtun Boy Aryan Dravindian theory doesnt excist! It’s an English invention. Afghanistan was 100% under hindu and buddist kings rule. The Bamyan statues are the biggest tourist attraction in Afghanistan and are being rebuild by China and India. The first 4 caliphate to India where struck down by Maharaja Lalitaditya Muktapide the Kashmiri prins who conquerd to Turkmenistan to the ganges. 100 years later Islam tried again but never succeeded in India! After 600 years of Islamic invasions and 200 years of British Raj and still 88% is hindu. Pakistan took 40 years to conquer and they never been over the deccan plateau.
@D Rai 2018 DNA test of skeleton in North India in one the biggest sites in indus civilization link the people of South Indian tribe, were the had similar script to that of indus one. And found North Indian male population had 17% on average DNA of central Asian and old persia. India stop further survey of site. Afghan has been ruled by different empire of all it history.
Kurdistan
This is Kurdistan area
Wich is iraq
From musil to south iraq thats real iraq ..for arbs from thos Part s when thy traveling to Kurdistan thy need stamps or thy are not allowed to visit or thy can visit like tourists for 30 days or one week with travel agencies for Americans thy don’t need visa for Kurdistan but thy need visa to iraq ahah sounds funny but this is reality welcomes to Erbil capital of Kurdistan
@Mesoud welcome to kurdistan part of iraq 🙂
After u helped taikng isis we quickly took grasp of you and stopped you from independece sorry it just reality 🙂
SUMER?
Would be nice to know what religion or the lack of it existed here then. Would help every religion and its fanatics to realise their place in transient time.
This is another example that how arabs, iranian and turks try to steel kurdish history and name it on they history. Does people have not any kind of dignity 😠😠
They never cared about us and never will even though we helped so we are fighting back
@armanito09 you’re getting ethnicity confused with territory. The Mitanni civilization were Ethnic Hurrians who no longer exist
Witch Chan where did Kurds come Crome I’m a 16 year old boy still trying to figure out who are our ancestors
lol those are not Kurdish history.. you were gypsie migrants from Iran those were mostly assyrians and Chaldean history till scum nomads came and settled u have no ancient history just like Arabs… u both worthless
@Anwar Kattan then u r stupid and ingorent
Remenants of civilization that we see now are probably nothing compared to what is burried in the deserts
One day massive oil reserves will be unleashed here, nearby.
hope it wont be boomed by USA
Limited funds??? So america 600+ billion on military budget and all her allies with maybe not that big but plentiful non the less can not make this happen? World history seems more important to me than new war planes.
Who are the people excavating?
Archaeologist
@zet 99 darius How do you know? A person digging a ditch is an Archaeologist then?
Cradle of civilization.
let’s hope there’s no oil under this historic gem
Iraq is the cradle of civilization. I guess Sumeria was also there.
Maybe Iran has them as it seems in the last days just before the invasion , Saddam might hv sent many of his fighter jets and wmd across the border for safety and if he fails in defending than it were for keeps by the Persians it seems…..
Iraqis were more evolved 3500 years ago than they are today…
Because we wanted the west to invade us illegally, wow
bring it do london hurry up🤣😂
Wow. Sumeria after thousands of years still giving us surprises for us to understand our past . Hopefully nations would united against looters and in pro of conservation and of this historical places on Earth
May be the people of Sodom who were destroyed by Allah after they refused to listed to Prophey Lut perhaps????
Iraq 🇮🇶 Sumerian Babylon Assyria Akkad and the capital of the Islamic world. Viva Mesopotamia
Sorry. Could anyone explain to me grammatically…why not ‘Ancient city was discovered in northern Iraq’
One of the reasons i believe why many Prophets of the Abrahamic religions appeared in the Middle east…because there were a lot of very old civilizations emerged there…
ya right all your gonna find are Neanferthol bones.. with a lot of aftrican fossils with chains…..
2021 is gold come
The Kurdish who have ZERO history are Stealing (with the help of scummy western imperialists) Mesopotamian, Assyrian, Arabic, Iraqi History. Look at the Iraqi city of Erbil so-called capital of kurds in Iraq, not One ancient stone is kurdish, Not One. They came as refugiees from Turkey few decades ago and now not only they are stealing land but ancient history too. DISGUSTING!!
Kurdistan
Kingdom of Mittani the Kurdis ancestors ☀️
