Ancient Mesopotania Song by Mr. Nicky





UPDATED:Thanks to my own direct request to Mr. Nicky, he uploaded the original video, which cut off halfway.  Therefore, I have replaced the lyrics only video with the original filled with all sorts of informative visual imagery.



Many of the ideas we have today come from Ancient Mesopotamia.  This is particularly true in the spiritual or religious realm (e.g., think Zodiac) and in the domain of politics and history (e.g., think Empires).  The following is a brief and fun primer concerning the Ancient Mesopotamia.

The Hierophant is perhaps the most important of the Major Arcana in Tarot decks.
The Hierophant, one of the most important
of the Major Arcana in Tarot decks.
A proper Tarot deck shows the Hierophant

that has the same hand expression.  Find it.

I have posted elsewhere historical primer parodies by Mr. Nicky, specifically on Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece.

This particular primer is set to the beat of "Crank Dat" by Soulja Boy Tell'em.

Enjoy!



For mobile users who cannot see the video above, here is Ancient Mesopotamia by Mr. Nicky.
