From Sumeria, to Greece, to India, to the depths of the dark ages we explore the stories that have inspired everything that came later with a professor of mythology and medieval literature. This particular professor also happens to be Cody's mom, so this is also a great episode to explore Cody's psyche, for those brave enough to explore a dark and twisted place. Join the Hugonauts book club on discordOr you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer videoIf you want to do some reading, here are our suggestions on the best translations of these myths (and even a couple great graphic novels): Epic of Gilgamesh, trans.

“Los primeros textos escritos de los que se tiene constancia son apuntes contables. Los primeros textos de la humanidad son sobre algo tan prosaico como una lista de ganado y de equipamiento agrícola encontrado en la ciudad de Uruk. Recogían las deudas de personas con otras personas y de personas con el complejo del templo.

Do you love limitation? Does the very idea of mandatory time limits make you stop in your tracks and smile? If so, tune in to this episode of the Blackstone Chambers Litigation Podcast as Andrew George KC presents recorded highlights from the most recent Commercial Breakfast Briefing.First, Leona Powell takes a look at the Supreme Court's important recent decision in Canada Square Operations Ltd. v Potter on the proper construction of s32 of the Limitation Act. David Lowe and Simon Pritchard then bring us some very recent tales from the frontline while Tom Mountford takes a survey of all other recent developments in limitation.

In episode 199 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with academic Dr Andrew George Thomas. Andrew is currently Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Swansea University, researching in the area of Evolutionary Psychology. Andrew did his BSc in Psychology at Cardiff university but moved to Swansea university for his PhD where he studied with Professor Steve Stewart-Williams. In order to fund his PHD, Andrew worked part-time and then full-time in the private sector before he managed to get his foot in the door in academia and has stayed there for the last seven years. Andrew is also the founder of blog ‘Darwin does dating' where he writes about dating, relationships and the sexual marketplace through an evolutionary psychology lens. We came across Andrew through one of his tweets which said: “Don't make the mistake of assuming men have a similar experience to women in terms of receiving compliments, affection, touch. Compliment a man who isn't in the top 5% of desirability and chances are you'll have been the first person to do so for months...” In this episode we discuss all of the mental health angles around that tweet, his academic journey, social class, mating strategies, becoming a counsellor and the concept of ‘dysphoric singlehood'. Andrew was also involved in conducting the largest ever study of incels and we discuss what he and his team uncovered. For Andrew's mental health, we discuss the mental health impact that a previous relationship break-up had on him which ended through his ex-partner being unfaithful as well as two separate but serious bouts of depression and anxiety which took place in around 2012 and 2016 respectively. We discuss those experiences, how he managed them and overcame them AND how he used them to train as a mental health counsellor and his attitude towards therapy and medication.

Cub Kuker Supernatural™ Podcast EP294 Ancient Mesopotamian and Babylonian mythologies have long intrigued scholars due to their striking parallels with Biblical stories. While the Bible is a religious text central to Judaism and Christianity, the Mesopotamian and Babylonian myths date back to older civilizations that existed in the same geographic area. Scholars suggest these similarities could be due to cultural exchanges or shared oral traditions. Here are seven significant connections between these ancient mythologies and the Holy Bible: Creation Stories: Both the Bible (Genesis 1-2) and the Babylonian epic Enuma Elish describe a divine being(s) creating the world from chaos. Flood Narratives: The Epic of Gilgamesh (Tablet XI) from Mesopotamia and the Biblical story of Noah's Ark (Genesis 6-9) both detail a catastrophic flood sent by the gods/God, with a chosen man directed to build an ark to preserve life. Divine Laws: Hammurabi's Code from Babylon and the Biblical Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) both present a set of laws given by a deity for human society. Tower of Babel: The Bible (Genesis 11:1-9) describes humans building a tower to reach heaven, which angers God who confuses their languages. This story parallels Mesopotamian ziggurat structures and myths about their purpose. Garden of Eden: The Bible's Garden of Eden (Genesis 2-3) has parallels with the Sumerian story of Dilmun, described as a paradise where sickness and death do not exist. Heroic Figures: Biblical figures like David and Moses, who rise from humble beginnings to become great leaders, share similarities with Mesopotamian heroes such as Gilgamesh. Divine Retribution: Both sets of texts feature stories where deities punish humans for their sins or disobedience, such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible (Genesis 19) and the destruction of Ur in Mesopotamian mythology. In summary, the ancient Mesopotamian and Babylonian mythologies share substantial similarities with the Holy Bible in terms of narratives, themes, and underlying moral codes. These connections highlight the shared cultural and theological ideas that existed in the ancient Near East. However, it's important to note that while there are similarities, each set of texts also contains unique elements reflecting their specific religious, cultural, and historical contexts.

‘My friend, whom I loved so dear, who with me went through every danger,my friend Enkidu, whom I loved so dear, who with me went through every danger:‘the doom of mortals overtook him. Six days I wept for him and seven nights.I did not surrender his body for burial, until a maggot dropped from his nostril.‘Then I was afraid that I too would die, I grew fearful of death, and so wander the wild.‘What became of my friend was too much to bear, so on a far road I wander the wild;what became of my friend Enkidu was too much to bear,] so on a far path I wander the wild.‘How can I keep silent? How can I stay quiet? My friend, whom I loved, has turned to clay,my friend Enkidu, whom I loved, has turned to clay. Shall I not be like him and also lie down,never to rise again, through all eternity?'The Epic of Gilgamesh is a very old poem. The Standard Babylonian version of it was redacted over three thousand years ago by an editor and poet named Sîn-lēqi-unninni, but much of the material he compiled was even older than that. The poem describes Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, two-thirds divine and one-third human, who is so superior to everyone else that the gods must create a companion for him. That companion is Enkidu, a bestial man who must be carefully brought into civilization. Their relationship — and the questions that arise after the gods condemn Enkidu to an early death — are still compelling several thousand years later. Chris and Suzanne explore this fragmentary monument of ancient literature, and think about what choices a translator (and a reader!) have to make when engaging with it.SHOW NOTES.The Epic of Gilgamesh, as translated by Andrew George, N.K.

Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king of Uruk, threatens to cut down the sacred Cedar Forest and claim its wood for his people. First, he must kill the terrifying guardian of the forest, Humbaba. Can he do it? What will the gods think, and what will it mean for humanity? The story's message is central to John Perlin's republished book, A Forest Journey: The Role of Trees in the Fate of Civilization. Forests, and the wood they provide, have been crucial to human society since the beginning of recorded time, and now the fight against climate change. But what does history tell us about how we treat them?

Unearthed from the ruins of ancient cities in modern-day Iraq, the reconstruction of the epic from fragments of clay tablets has been a labour of love for scholars of ancient Mesopotamia. This painstaking work has brought to life a sophisticated story of adventure, heroism and friendship, as well as a reflection on the human condition. Today, experts are uncovering additional fragments of cuneiform script and using artificial intelligence to decipher the text and fill in the gaps of this and other stories. Professor Anmar Fadhil from the University of Baghdad tells the programme about the latest discoveries. Bridget Kendall is joined by Andrew George, Emeritus Professor of Babylonian at SOAS at the University of London and author of an acclaimed English translation of the epic; Professor Enrique Jiménez, chair of Ancient Near Eastern Literature at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany who has published widely on Babylonian literature of the first millennium BC; and Dr Louise Pryke, Honorary Associate in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Sydney in Australia who is the author of Gilgamesh, a guide to the epic which was published in 2019.

The Epic of Gilgamesh (c. 1200 BCE, Standard Babylonian) is based on Gilgamesh of Uruk, a historical king subject to centuries of cult-worship and mythmaking before his exploits were written down. Although this was not unlike the fate of many ancient rulers, the Epic of Gilgamesh separates itself by its poetic modernity and psychological complexity. In this video, Joel Parrish and Alex Sheremet discuss Gilgamesh's failed quest for immortality, the ‘wild man' Enkidu as Gilgamesh's foil and savior, proto-feminist characters such as the prostitute Shamhat, as well as structural questions and the power of specific passages before critiquing a Christian reading of Babylonian polytheism and Great Flood myths.

Hugh Muir has spent much of his journalistic career chronicling the working lives of Britain’s black and minority ethnic police officers. In this programme, he investigates claims that racism is on the rise within policing in the UK. In 1990, the Met acknowledged that it had a problem holding on to its black officers and decided to ask black and Asian staff why so many of them were leaving. Almost all the force’s black police officers attended a two-day meeting at the then Bristol Polytechnic that summer. They had no choice - it was mandatory. The officers all shared experiences of racist ‘banter’ and other mistreatment they had suffered on the job. Many found it therapeutic. However, 30 years on from the ‘Bristol meeting’, black officers say that despite some initial improvements, not much has changed. Some even contend that racism within policing got worse. And since the backlash that followed the killing of George Floyd last year, black officers now face growing hostility from outside as well as from within. For this programme, Hugh has spoken to several black and minority ethnic officers, both serving and retired. They include Andrew George, President of the National Black Police Association, and retired superintendent Leroy Logan, whose life story was recently adapted for the screen by the Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen in his film anthology Small Axe. “I think black cops deserve more internal and external support as the key to making the real progress we all say we want,” Hugh says.

Here are the complete readings I've made from Andrew George's translation of the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh.  In the first, I read about the creation of Enkidu and how, through the sacred prostitute Shamhat, he is civilized and taken out of his life in nature. In the second, I read Enkidu’s deathbed speech, and the dream he has about the Underworld, just before his death.  In the third, I read Gilgamesh’s meeting with Utanapishti, who  relates the Mesopotamian account of the Flood, and Gilgamesh’s  final failure at achieving immortality.    Buy Andrew George’s translation here:  https://www.amazon.com/Epic-Gilgamesh-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449191/   Buy NK Sandars’s prose version here:  https://www.amazon.com/Epic-Gilgamesh/dp/014044100X/   Buy Stephen Mitchell’s version here:  https://www.amazon.com/Gilgamesh-English-Version-Stephen-Mitchell/dp/0743261690   Buy Nahum Sarna’s commentary on Genesis here:  https://www.amazon.com/JPS-Torah-Commentary-Nahum-Sarna/dp/0827603266   Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later  episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com.

Hosted by former private tutor Hussain, we break down mind-boggling academic research and challenge authors on their work.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's subject is one that's special to me personally. That's because we're talking about ancient Mesopotamia, which is located in my native Iraq. My guest is the erudite Prof. Andrew George of SOAS University. Andrew most notably worked on developing and authoring the translation of The Epic of Gilgamesh - which is the oldest poem known to man. His translation to date has sold a remarkable 250,000 copies. But what is more fascinating about Andrew's work is how much in depth research he has done on the original tablets that date back several thousand years. This episode is one full of amazing stories of the past. Andrew gives us his insights on the Epic of Gilgamesh and what it means to us as humans when faced with the reality that we are mortal beings!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Library at Nineveh, a treasure house of Assyrian ideas from the 7th Century BC. In 1849 a young English adventurer called Henry Layard started digging into a small hill on the banks of the River Tigris in Northern Iraq. Underneath it he found the ancient city of Nineveh. Layard unearthed extraordinary things - wonderful carved reliefs, ancient palace rooms and great statues of winged bulls. He also found a collection of clay tablets, broken up, jumbled around and sitting on the floor of a toilet. It was the remnants of a library and although Layard didn't know it at the time, it was one of the greatest archaeological finds ever made.Conceived to house the sum of all human knowledge the library was built in the 7th century BC as the grand Assyrian Empire entered its last years. The clay tablets have proved to be a window into all aspects of Assyrian life, its literature, politics, religion and medicine – practises that are both deeply alien to us and alluringly familiar. With Eleanor Robson, Senior Lecturer at Cambridge University and Vice-Chair of the British Institute for the Study of Iraq; Karen Radner, Lecturer in the Ancient Near Eastern History at University College London; Andrew George, Professor of Babylonian at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the truth about Babylon. Six thousand years ago, between the Tigris and the Euphrates, the first cities were being built. The great empire to spring from the region was Babylon, which held sway for over a thousand years and in that time managed to garner an extraordinarily bad press: it's associated with the Tower of Babel, with Nineveh where Jonah is sent to preach repentance and, perhaps most famously, with “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth” - the whore of Babylon, who in Revelation is taken to personify the city itself. It's not just the Bible; Herodotus described the Babylonians as effeminate, lascivious and decadent as well.But what is the true story? Classics in this country has meant a study of Greece and Rome, but there is an increasingly vocal contingent that claims that Babylonian culture has been hugely undervalued, and that there is a great wealth of extraordinary literature waiting to be translated.With Eleanor Robson, Lecturer in the History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University; Irving Finkel, Curator in the Department of the Ancient Near East at the British Museum; Andrew George, Professor of Babylonian at the School of Oriental and African Studies.
