Life in modern day Iraq is nothing like ancient Mesopotamia (8x31)

:

In this episode, I leave Al Najaf and cross through the heart of ancient Mesopotamia. The cradle of civilization, where the first writing originated. The site of Uruk is historically very important, and I am amazed that I am the only visitor there. The ziggurat of Ur is just as impressive and I end a long day in Nasriyah.
