Who Was the FIRST KING in the History of Humanity?

Who was the first king? In this video, we trace the full arc of that question from the egalitarian world of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who built elaborate social systems specifically designed to prevent any one person from accumulating too much power, all the way to the rise of the world's first cities in ancient Mesopotamia, where flood and famine and war and surplus grain conspired to make kingship not just possible, but inevitable. We explore the Sumerian King List one of the most extraordinary and unreliable documents in human history and the moment it stops being mythology and starts being fact. We survey the civilisations that were rising simultaneously: Egypt, the Indus Valley, early China. And we ask why, of all of them, it was Mesopotamia that produced the first king first.
