00:00What if Ur, the world's first major city, had never fallen around 2000 BC?
00:06Instead of declining due to changing rivers and political chaos,
00:10imagine Ur continued thriving as civilization's beating heart.
00:14Power would never have shifted to Babylon or other rising cities.
00:19For thousands of years, Ur would remain the technological and cultural center of the world.
00:24Their advanced mathematics and astronomy could have accelerated human progress by millennia.
00:30Instead of alphabets developing separately across different regions,
00:34their writing system might have become the global standard.
00:37Their sophisticated urban planning and legal codes would have spread worldwide much earlier.
00:43Think about it.
00:45Space exploration, modern medicine, advanced technology, all developing thousands of years sooner.
00:51The same minds that created the first cities and laws, given millennia, more time to innovate.
00:58We might already be colonizing distant planets right now.
01:02All because one ancient city never fell to the shifting sands of time.
01:08One river that never changed course could have changed everything.
01:11One Laureate living.
