I'm not quite sure what I think of this. On the one hand, it's great that TMBG wrote a song about Sargon, Hammurabi, Assurbanipal and  Gilgamesh, but on the other, the visuals of the video are terrible- there are certainly enough representations of Mesopotamian kings out

I would be more bothered if the song pretended to be historically accurate in any way, but they're a bunch of zombies driving around in a van in Brooklyn. And Hammurabi has a skater dude haircut.

If nothing else, the song sure is catchy. I can already tell that it will be in my head all day.

I know, I know, I am being overly picky, but it's not like we don't have images of these people to work with
