ERIDU: The Wild Story of the World's First City

This is the very first video on a new channel dedicated to mankind's greatest lost cities. And where better to start than at the beginning? This is the wild story of the world's first city. Eridu, founded around 5400 BCE in southern Mesopotamia, is considered the world’s first city. Revered in Sumerian mythology as Enki’s sacred home, it featured monumental temples and early urban planning. After almost 5000 years of continued habitation. Eridu was finally abandoned around 500 BCE during the Neo-Babylonian period. Its decline was largely due to environmental challenges, including rising soil salinity from prolonged irrigation and encroaching sand dunes, which undermined its agricultural viability. Over time, it transitioned into a purely cultic site before falling into ruin. If you liked this video and you don't hate my soul, then feel free to like and subscribe. I've been told it helps the YouTube algorithm. Fingers crossed it works. Much of the footage from this video was taken from a world I built using the map editor from the game, Cities: Skylines 2. If you play that game and you'd like to build your new city here then feel free to grab the free map right here... https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/11...
