Has Our Attitude Towards Love Changed? Today, on the Sunday Special, we take a look at the oldest love poems ever discovered from the Mesopotamian Love Song for Shu Sin and the Biblical Song of Songs. In an effort to understand love today, it may be fruitful to explore how love was regarded back in ancient times and so, we’ll be spending this episode analysing the two poems and drawing both conclusions and parallels to today’s world.

Loving the new look and excited for a continuation of these Sunday specials!!! This was such an interesting video and fascinating to understand the different views of love from a different time period. It is indeed a shame we have gone backwards as a society in some ways. Love’s a beautiful thing when shared between people and I, for one, am certainly grateful to have a lot of it in my life.
I am looking forward to the diversity the Sunday Specials will bring to your channel and can’t wait for the next one already. I loved how you injected humour into this video – made me chuckle 😂
Big love ❤️

So flirting in ancient times was also just a bunch of compliments about someone's looks lol
