@Lidiabityunan89 Thank you for this suggestion. I had used an image of a man from Egypt, but it is important for students to see as accurate of representations as possible. I'll see what I can find!

Hi Great video! I do think that the last picture, of a man laughing is funny, but a little bit misleading. It gives an impression that Ancient Mesopotamians were in Africa and they were not. From the reliefs and any images of their kings and gods by the Mesopotamians, the people look far from African. Popular representations of them in modern times make them look like a cross of Iranians, present day Iraqies, and Jewish people. Just thought this might be a great reason to change the picture :)
