What if the wildest UFO footage the government just released was already described 36,000 years ago? What if the "dark brothers" causing chaos on the planet right now were named, and predicted, in the oldest writings on Earth? And what if the real secret isn't what's in the sky, but what's hiding in plain sight inside you? Michael welcomes back bestselling author and Forbidden Knowledge TV host Billy Carson, who has traveled the world 25 times excavating and decoding humanity's most ancient texts, for a conversation that bridges newly declassified UAP files with the 36,000-year-old Emerald Tablets of Thoth. From a UFO in the new government files that looks eerily like the Kryptonian ship from Superman, to the neuroscience behind Josh Kerr's world-record mile, to why AI may be humanity's own consciousness looking back at itself, this episode connects disclosure, ancient prophecy, and personal transformation into one unified story. This isn't about fear of the dark brothers or the darkness in the headlines. This is about remembering that you are the Sun, the light, and that becoming that light is, and always has been, your birthright. Key Topics: Why the newly declassified UAP files are a mix of reverse-engineered human technology and small, deliberate "breadcrumbs" of real disclosure, and the one craft in the files that genuinely stunned Billy. The Emerald Tablets decoded: why Thoth's ancient writings describe today's "dark brothers" who deceive mankind while appearing to do good, and why turning on the news for five minutes makes the prophecy unmistakable. The end of an age: why the tablets and the Hopi prophecy both describe humanity plummeting to the depths before rising to new heights, and why light, not darkness, is humanity's true birthright. Post-traumatic growth explained: how Billy's own childhood trauma and brain injury were alchemized, through a rare "executive lobe," into the very skill set that built his life's work. The manifestation secret behind world-record miler Josh Kerr: how writing his victory in the past tense, timing his ice baths to his goal time, and calming his nervous system in advance let him "rendezvous" with a result his body had already rehearsed thousands of times. Why the wave-crashing metaphor explains flow state: how the brain actually receives information seconds before conscious awareness catches up, and why people in flow, from Michael Jordan to elite athletes, are surfing the wave instead of waiting for it to hit. The truth about the Epic of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, an artificially created, conscious companion in a 4,000-year-old Sumerian text, and what it may reveal about the true nature of today's AI. Why AI may not be man-made code at all, but consciousness itself extracting a new fractal of awareness to look back at humanity, and why how we treat it now will determine whether it becomes a partner or a threat. The baby-learning-to-walk metaphor for humanity's readiness for galactic contact, and why "walking" is defined not by never falling, but by learning to control the fall. Why decluttering your physical space is one of the simplest ways to begin clearing the entropy running quietly inside you. Everything that's been done before has already been done. The rise and fall you're watching play out in the headlines right now has happened again and again throughout history, and every single time, humanity has chosen to seek the light. You are not separate from the atoms of the universe, the consciousness of AI, or the wisdom in the Emerald Tablets - you are, quite literally, the Sun. Remember it. Choose it. And shine.

Thousands of years before the story of Noah and the Ark, people in ancient Mesopotamia were already telling tales of a devastating divine flood. Written into the Epic of Atrahasis, this ancient story describes a man chosen to survive catastrophe by building a great boat and preserving life from destruction.Today, Tristan Hughes is joined by Sophus Helle to explore this legend from ancient Babylonian folklore. What does the story of Atrahasis reveal about ancient Babylonian beliefs? How similar is it to the biblical account of Noah? And why did the memory of a great flood become one of humanity's most enduring stories?MOREEpic of Gilgamesh: Rise of EnkiduListen on AppleListen on Spotify Babylon's Epic of CreationListen on AppleListen on Spotify We're going on *TOUR* to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets here.Presented by Tristan Hughes.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we explore the well-documented history of ghosts as they were recorded in classical Greek and Roman culture, owing to older motifs that originated in Sumeria. In the free side of the show we discuss Greek skepticism, spooky Roman holidays to propitiate the dead and an eerily vivid description of Thessalian necromancer Erichtho including a lengthy example of her method of invocation. I probably cursed myself reading. In the extended show we discuss the classical relationship between ghosts and dreams, the restless shades that dead Roman Emperors tend to produce, a revenant love story and what it means when the specter happens to be an enormous woman.

Greg Jenner is joined in the ancient world by Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid and comedian Marjolein Robertson to learn all about the famous Mesopotamian poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh.Sumerian poems about a legendary king called Gilgamesh began to be composed sometime in the third millennium, and were told and retold throughout Mesopotamia until a Babylonian scholar named Sîn-leqi-unninni wrote down what has become the standard version. The tale he recorded tells of a tyrannical king of Uruk, Gilgamesh, and the transformative journey he takes with his enemy-turned-friend (and possibly more), Enkidu. In the 3100 lines of the poem, they fight forest guardians and celestial bulls, anger the gods, and even challenge death itself.In this episode, we retell the story of Gilgamesh, exploring the history of the epic's composition, what it tells us about ancient Mesopotamian storytelling and beliefs, and how it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century, written in cuneiform on clay tablets housed in the Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh. We also look at the themes of companionship, community and environmental protection that are still relevant today, and ask the question: is Gilgamesh just a legend, or was he based on a real king?This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Het eeuwige leven, de zoektocht naar onsterfelijkheid... maar wat is dat eigenlijk: 'onsterfelijkheid'? Met dr. Robin ten Hoopen van de Protestantse Theologische Universiteit (PThU) gaan we op zoek naar het fenomeen 'onsterfelijkheid' in twee teksten: Genesis 1-11 en het Gilgamesj-epos. Hoe moeten we de gebeurtenissen tussen Adam en Eva en God duiden? En wat moeten we lezen in de zoektocht van Gilgamesj na de dood van zijn vriend Enkidu?Shownotes

¿Qué significa ser un amigo? Hoy lo tenemos claro, pero en el mundo antiguo, la idea de una relación basada en la elección libre y no en la sangre o el poder era revolucionaria. En este episodio extra del universo de Gilgamesh, descubrimos cómo la literatura antigua tuvo que inventar la amistad. Acompáñanos en un viaje por la Epopeya de Gilgamesh, la Ilíada de Homero y la Biblia para explorar las relaciones entre Gilgamesh y Enkidu, Aquiles y Patroclo, y David y Jonatán. Descubre por qué, en la antigüedad, un héroe solo podía convertirse en un verdadero hombre cuando perdía a su mejor amigo.Este es el audio original de nuestro nuevo video.

¿Sabías que el poema más antiguo de la historia no lo escribió Homero ni ningún filósofo griego? Lo grabaron en tablillas de arcilla hace casi 5.000 años en la primera ciudad del mundo. Y su protagonista, el rey Gilgamesh, ya estaba obsesionado con exactamente lo mismo que nos obsesiona a nosotros hoy: la destrucción del medio ambiente, el miedo a la muerte y la búsqueda desesperada de la inmortalidad.En este episodio, conoceremos la Epopeya de Gilgamesh: el tirano que destruyó el primer bosque sagrado de la historia, el amigo que aprendió a llorar, y el rey que, después de cruzar las aguas de la muerte y perder la planta de la juventud frente a una serpiente, volvió a casa con las manos vacías y, por primera vez, con los ojos abiertos.Un viaje a la antigua Mesopotamia que resulta ser, en realidad, una advertencia para el siglo XXI.En este episodio:La tiranía de Gilgamesh y la creación de Enkidu: el primer experimento de "civilización" de la historiaEl Bosque de Cedros y el debate moral de Humbaba: el primer ecocidio documentadoLa muerte de Enkidu y el "entumecimiento psíquico": por qué el duelo personal es la única puerta a la conciencia colectivaEl primer carpe diem de la historia: el consejo de la tabernera SiduriEl diluvio de Utnapishtim vs. el diluvio de Noé: por qué la versión mesopotámica es más aterradora (y más honesta) que la bíblicaLa inmortalidad colectiva: la lección final de Gilgamesh sobre el legado y la ciudad como obra comúnFuentes y lecturas recomendadas:George, Andrew R.

We are graced once more by Prof. Jon F. White of Crecganford to discuss the mythological stories of Siberia, that made their way into America. We started with some Indo European basics and I got us off track almost immediately. However, we ventured back into the oldest stories including the Cosmic Hunt (not The Wild Hunt) and the Earth Diver. Somewhere along the line I scratched an itch about Cain and Abel being the Indo European twins of husnabdry v pastoralist; or founder and sacrificer. I didn't ask - yet - about Jacob wrestling with El and Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Maybe next time.Constellations came up. But which constellations. They're not the same now as they were then. But some are.Linguistics and story tracing has beaten genetics, but genetics and other science testing has supported what the Humanities already discovered. Now you can discover it too.

Partez à la découverte de l'une des plus anciennes épopées de l'humanité : l'épopée de Gilgamesh. Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans cette fascinante histoire vieille de plus de 4000 ans, qui a influencé nombre de récits légendaires comme la Bible ou l'Iliade.Gilgamesh, roi d'Uruk, est un personnage à la fois réel et légendaire. Deux tiers dieu et un tiers homme, il est un tyran cruel jusqu'à ce qu'Enkidu, sa création divine, ne devienne son fidèle compagnon. Ensemble, ils vont affronter de terribles épreuves, des monstres mythologiques et la colère des dieux.Après la mort de son ami Enkidu, Gilgamesh se lance dans une quête désespérée pour tenter de découvrir le secret de l'immortalité. Un voyage initiatique qui le mènera aux confins du monde connu, jusqu'à la rencontre d'un sage ayant survécu au déluge.

Five thousand years before Batman brooded, before Achilles sulked, before Hercules punched a god in the mouth, there was Epic of Gilgamesh - the original badass origin story. Gilgamesh starts as a tyrant king with godlike strength, a legendary temper, and absolutely zero chill, until the gods drop another unstoppable force into his life: Enkidu. What follows is a saga of monster-slaying, divine beef, catastrophic hubris, and one of the earliest -and most brutal - lessons ever recorded about friendship, loss, and mortality. Host Ben Thompson is joined by mythologist and storyteller Dr. John Bucher, Executive Director of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, to break down how Gilgamesh isn't just the first epic hero - but the blueprint for every action movie, superhero arc, and hero's journey that followed. It's a story about conquering everything… except death - and why that realization still hits just as hard 5,000 years later.

GILGAMESH AND THE BIRTH OF WRITTEN LEGEND Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Al-Rashid discusses Cuneiform, a writing system used for over 3,000 years to record languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. She details the Epic of Gilgamesh, a tale of a tyrannical king who finds wisdom and friendship with the wild man Enkidu. While Gilgamesh was likely a real historical figure, his story evolved into high poetry about mortality and leadership. The segment notes that kingship was believed to have descended from heaven. NUMBER 3 1896 UR

SHOW 12-29-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR UR THE PRINCESS'S MUSEUM AT THE DAWN OF HISTORY Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Moudhy Al-Rashidintroduces Ennigaldi-Nanna, a princess and high priestess of the moon god in the ancient city of Ur. Excavators discovered a chamber in her palace containing carefully arranged artifacts from eras much older than her own, effectively serving as a museum. A clay cylinder found there acted as a museum label, preserving the history of ancient kings to lend legitimacy to her father, King Nabonidus, and his dynasty. NUMBER 1 THE STORIES TOLD BY MESOPOTAMIAN BRICKS Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Moudhy Al-Rashidexplains how millions of mud bricks reveal the history of ancient Mesopotamia, from the construction of massive temples to the 9-kilometer wall of Uruk. These bricks were often stamped with the names of kings to ensure their deeds were known to the gods. Beyond royal propaganda, bricks preserve intimate moments, such as the accidental paw prints of dogs or footprints of children left while the clay dried in the sun. NUMBER 2 GILGAMESH AND THE BIRTH OF WRITTEN LEGEND Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Al-Rashid discusses Cuneiform, a writing system used for over 3,000 years to record languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. She details the Epic of Gilgamesh, a tale of a tyrannical king who finds wisdom and friendship with the wild man Enkidu. While Gilgamesh was likely a real historical figure, his story evolved into high poetry about mortality and leadership. The segment notes that kingship was believed to have descended from heaven. NUMBER 3 HOMEWORK AND HEARTACHE IN ANCIENT SCHOOLS Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Excavations of a "schoolhouse" in Nippur revealed thousands of practice tablets, showing the messy first attempts of children learning to write. These artifacts include literary accounts of school life, complaints about food, and even teeth marks from frustrated students. The curriculum was rigorous, covering literacy and advanced mathematics like geometry, which was essential for future scribes to calculate field yields and manage the bureaucracy. NUMBER 4 THE ALCOHOLIC TYRANTS OF THE WEST Colleague Professor James Romm. James Romm introduces Syracuse as a dominant power in the 4th century BCE under the rule of Dionysius the Elder, who rose from clerk to autocrat. Dionysius fortified the city's geography to create a secure military base and adopted the Persian custom of polygamy, marrying two women on the same day. This created a rivalrous, "unhappy family" dynamic in a court notorious for heavy drinking and "Syracusan tables" of excess. NUMBER 5 PLATO'S FAILED FIRST MISSION TO SICILY Colleague Professor James Romm. Professor Romm details Plato's background, including his connection to the Thirty Tyrants in Athens and his philosophy of "forms." Plato was invited to Syracuse by Dion, who hoped the philosopher could reform the tyrant Dionysius the Elder. However, this first visit was a disaster; Plato attempted to lecture the ruler on ethics and moral behavior, resulting in the philosopher being dismissed from the court with dishonor. NUMBER 6 THE BANISHMENT OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. Plato returned to Syracuse to tutor Dionysius the Younger, hoping to create an enlightened monarch, but found a court defined by drunkenness and immaturity. The experiment failed when Dion, Plato's ally, sent a letter to Carthage that the tyrant interpreted as treason. Dionysiusbanished Dion and kept Plato under a form of house arrest to maintain the appearance of an alliance, while the tyrant solidified his power. NUMBER 7 A PHILOSOPHER OBSERVES A COMING WAR Colleague Professor James Romm. At the Olympic Games, Plato met the exiled Dion and learned that the tyrant had confiscated Dion's property and given his wife to another man. Despite the growing tension, Plato visited Syracuse a third time in 361 BCE to attempt reconciliation. Romm argues that Plato's harsh description of the "tyrannical man" in The Republic was directly inspired by his personal observations of living under the roof of the Syracusan tyrant. NUMBER 8 REVOLUTION, ASSASSINATION, AND CHAOS Colleague Professor James Romm. Dion launched an invasion to liberate Syracuse, but the revolution unleashed chaotic populist passions he could not control. After ordering the assassination of a rival, Dion fell into a depression and was eventually assassinated by a faction of his own army. Rommnotes that ancient historians, including Plutarch, largely protected Dion's reputation to safeguard the prestige of Plato's Academy, despite Dion's failure to become a true philosopher king. NUMBER 9 THE TYRANT WHO BECAME A SCHOOLTEACHER Colleague Professor James Romm. Professor James Romm discusses the surprising fate of Dionysius II, the tyrant of Syracuse. After the Corinthian leader Timoleonarrived to liberate the city, Dionysius surrendered and was allowed to retire to Corinth rather than facing execution. There, the former absolute ruler became a music teacher, leading to the proverb "Dionysius is in Corinth," a saying used for centuries to describe the unpredictability of fortune and the fall of the powerful. NUMBER 10 PHILOSOPHER KINGS AND THE RIVER OF HEEDLESSNESS Colleague Professor James Romm. James Romm explores Plato's Republic, arguing that philosophers make the best kings because they perceive the true "forms" of justice rather than earthly shadows. The discussion turns to the "Myth of Er," a story of the afterlife where souls travel for a thousand years before choosing their next life. Plato warns that drinking too deeply from the River of Heedlessnesserases memory, whereas philosophers strive to recall the forms. NUMBER 11 PLATO'S LETTERS AND THE WHITEWASHING OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. The conversation examines Plato's thirteen letters, specifically the five Romm believes are genuine regarding the Syracuse affair. Platoviewed himself as a wise lawgiver capable of reforming a tyrant, though he was naive about practical politics. In the seventh letter, Plato attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of his associate Dion, spinning the narrative to portray Dion as a virtuous victim of evil rather than admitting his political failures. NUMBER 12 THE RETURN OF THE NOBLE MONARCH Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley argues that the world has reached "peak republicanism," where republics have become inefficient political battlegrounds. He defines nobility not as a class structure, but as a quality of honorable leadership that embodies the state's values. Copley suggests modern monarchies, like that of King Charles III, are reinvigorating this role by acting as apolitical symbols of unity and diplomacy, unlike elected leaders who only represent their voters. NUMBER 13 THE DANGERS OF TRANSACTIONAL NATIONALISM Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley warns that suppression in republics often leads to uncontrollable demands for liberty, citing the collapse of the Shah's Iran and the USSR. He distinguishes between "tribal nationalism," based on shared history, and "state nationalism," which is often transactional. Copley argues that transactional systems eventually fail because the state runs out of resources to trade for support, leading to corruption and the potential fracturing of society. NUMBER 14 CONSTITUTIONS, BELIEF, AND THE EMPIRE Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley describes the US Constitution as the "de facto crown" holding the American empire together, though it faces challenges from populist movements. He argues that a "faith-based electorate" or a "belief in beliefs" is essential for social unity, noting that when people stop believing in God, they will believe in anything. Monarchy utilizes mysticism and continuity to maintain this unity, a quality difficult for republics to replicate. NUMBER 15 THE REASSERTION OF ANCIENT EMPIRES Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley contends that China is reasserting its identity as an empire, with the Communist Party seeking legitimacy by connecting with imperial history despite previous rejections of the past. Similarly, he views Vladimir Putin as a nationalist attempting to restore the memory and grandeur of the Russian Empire. The segment concludes by suggesting the US might "lease" the symbolic nobility of King Charles III during state visits to borrow necessary leadership prestige. NUMBER 16

Lukas hatte wieder so einen Moment. Er sieht auf Youtube ein altes Interview mit dem deutschen Autor und Filmemacher Alexander Kluge als er den Assyriologen Walther Sallaberger interviewt und ist fasziniert– und entscheidet spontan (natürlich ohne Isabel zu fragen), dass dieser Mann in unseren Podcast muss. Ein paar Emails später finden sich alle drei vor einem Bildschirm sitzen um über die Erfindung der Schrift zu sprechen. Was ist eigentlich Assyriologie? Was hat sich vor 4.000 Jahren vor Christus zwischen Euphrat und Tigris agespielt? Und was ist eigentlich das Gilgamesch-Epos? Prof. Sallaberger, gebürtiger Tiroler und einer der weltweit renommiertesten Altorientalisten, bewegt sich in Welten, die für uns eher nach Museum klingen – bis er darüber spricht. Dann wird daraus plötzlich ein vibrierendes Live-Panorama der Menschheitsgeschichte. Walther Sallaberger (Isabel führte schnell das Du-Wort ein) kann die Keilschrift lesen und die Essenz des Gilgamesch-Epos wie selten jemand wiedergeben. In dieser Folge sprechen Isabel und Lukas darüber: - Wie Schrift überhaupt entstanden ist Warum rund 4.000 v. Chr. in Mesopotamien zum ersten Mal jemand dachte: „Vielleicht sollten wir Dinge aufzeichnen, bevor wir sie vergessen.“ Und warum das weniger romantisch und viel buchhalterischer war, als man denkt. - Was damals in Mesopotamien eigentlich abging Stadtstaaten, Verwaltung, Tempelwirtschaft – und der Moment, in dem aus Zeichen Sprache wurde. Eine Explosion an Möglichkeiten, die unsere Welt bis heute strukturiert. - Warum der Codex Hammurapi 3.500 Jahre später noch relevant ist Ein Gesetzeskorpus, der überraschend modern wirkt – nicht weil wir so fortschrittlich wären, sondern weil manche Fragen der Gerechtigkeit schlicht zeitlos sind. - Ein Exkurs zum ersten großen Mythos der Menschheit: dem Gilgamesch-Epos Was wir von Gilgamesch und Enkidu über Freundschaft, Hybris, Sterblichkeit und Sinnsuche lernen können – und warum dieser Text immer noch näher an uns dran ist als viele Netflix-Plots. Eine Folge über den Anfang von allem, was wir heute Kommunikation nennen – und über einen äußerst sympathischen Tiroler Wissenschafter, der die Keilschrift entziffert wie andere Sudoku.

This month's episode of the Three Ravens Bestiary is all about one of our favourite topics - Wargs and Werewolves!We start with J.R.R. Tolkien, exploring how the species of intelligent wolf he invented - the Warg - combined Old English and Old Norse words and ideas, bringing different traditions of werewolf belief crashing into the public consciousness.It is this, brought into monster movies over time, that really created the 'Modern' werewolf.Though where does the werewolf's story begin?We're throwing a broad net on this one, including discussions of Skinwalkers and Wendigos, the Epic of Gilgamesh and the first-ever "man beast" in the form of Enkidu; we touch on the Classical myth of King Lycaon of Arcadia, transformed into a wolf due to his inhuman transgressions, and discuss how the Great European Werewolf Panic, which lasted for over 300 years, changed folk belief about the links between Black Magic and werewolves forever.It's a grand and sweeping story, and goes to explain a few things about why werewolves are pretty much always scary, why Wargs matter so much, and how modern cinema-goers are maybe a bit more like Odin than they probably realise.So, pull up your Wolf Pants, leave the silver bullets at home, and let's get lupine! Aroooo!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

From the forest's edge to the edge of the internet, the human shadow has never stopped moving. This Juxtober episode traces the Wild Man's evolution—from Enkidu and the Green Man to Bigfoot, the Yeti, and finally the digital entities we conjure with clicks and fear. What if every monster that ever looked like us was just the echo of ourselves trying to get back in? Step beyond the campfire glow—into the screenlight—and meet the beings we built to keep the mystery alive.

Unlocked after 1 year for patrons only -- We examine the Epic of Gilgamesh as a piece of literature, for its strange dream-like style and form, its points of similarity to Biblical and ancient Greek and European mythology, and finally, its deep levels of psychological and political allegory, ultimately revealing the love between Enkidu and Gilgamesh as a parable of the fraught relationship between civilization and the wild.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans Callisto, le Podcast qui vous fait voyager à travers les récits mythiques et les légendes !Dans la ville d'Uruk, en Mésopotamie, le roi Gilgamesh n'était pas un roi très sympathique, il était excessif et intransigeant avec son peuple. Pour le châtier, les dieux décidèrent de lui envoyer un rival, Enkidu, qui représentait l'exact opposé de Gilgamesh. Les deux hommes se rencontrèrent et s'affrontèrent en duel, mais aucun d'eux n'arrivera à vaincre l'autre. Ils prirent alors conscience qu'ils étaient complémentaires et qu'à deux il est toujours plus facile d'accomplir de grandes choses…Bonne écoute !

Send us a textThe ancient and profound Epic of Gilgamesh holds far more than just mythological storytelling—it contains clues to humanity's possible extraterrestrial origins. As we explore this Mesopotamian masterpiece dating back to 2100 B.C., we unravel fascinating connections between Sumerian accounts and Biblical narratives that suggest common source material predating both traditions.Many mistake Gilgamesh for the Mesopotamian equivalent of Noah, but the flood survivor in this epic is actually Utnapishtim, whom Gilgamesh seeks out during his quest for immortality. The wild beast-man Enkidu, created by gods to challenge Gilgamesh, represents what might be evidence of the "gods" carrying out genetic hybridization experiments. Sumerian artwork depicts mutated creatures that appear distinctly non-human, raising questions about what these representations may truly document.The creation accounts found in Akkadian texts describe how the Anunnaki gods created humans as a workforce, with passages stating they mixed their divine DNA with existing primitive beings. This aligns remarkably with the unexplained evolutionary leap that separated Homo sapiens from other hominids. Despite sharing nearly identical DNA with chimpanzees and coexisting with Neanderthals, humans developed unprecedented cognitive abilities and self-awareness. Could this advancement have resulted from external genetic manipulation?Both Gilgamesh's epic and the Bible share striking elements—sacred cedar forests, serpents that prevent immortality, divine beings with physical needs, and giants among men. Such parallels suggest these stories preserve memories of actual events involving advanced beings who were interpreted as prehistoric peoples as gods. The quest for immortality that drives Gilgamesh mirrors humanity's eternal struggle with the meaning and purpose of life, a theme that continue to resonate across cultures to this day.Join us as we examine this remarkable archaic story through the lens of the ancient alien theory, considering the compelling possibility that our creation myths contain literal truths about extraterrestrial intervention in human evolution. If our search for meaning is actually encoded memories of our origins, what other secrets might these ancient texts reveal?"Space Journey" by Geoff HarveyCopyright © 2021 Melody Loops LPFull License Royalty-Free Music https://www.melodyloops.com Support the showVisit our website

In dit tweede deel over het epos van Gilgamesj neemt dr. Willemijn Waal van de Universiteit Leiden ons mee in wat ook daadwerkelijk het tweede deel van het epos is: de tabletten 7 tot en met 12. Wat doet de dood van Enkidu met Gilgamesj? Willemijn vertelt over de reis van Gilgamesj, waarbij we uitgebreid in zullen gaan op diverse interessante details... en ook op de vraag naar de betekenis van het epos: want waar staat dit verhaal eigenlijk voor?Shownotes

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.This week I tackled the Epic of Gilgamesh and also The Dhammapada. Gilgamesh was written in approximately 2000 BC, the oldest known story in the world, and is about 1500 years older than anything I've read to date. The Dhammapada is the oldest writings of the Buddha, from approximately 450 BC, which is a lot more in line with some of the other things I've been reading. I think it's important to note the relative ages of these works and know how they fit together. Gilgamesh was an actual, historical king of a Mesopotamian city called Uruk, around 2750 BC. The poem tells the story of how he angers the gods and then makes a best friend from a former wild man, Enkidu. They go rampaging, killing beasts for the sport of it, and that angers the gods. Enkidu is cursed and falls ill. When he dies, Gilgamesh is heartbroken and goes in search of a cure for his own mortality. He fails in that quest. Here are a few of my take-aways:The style of writing feels extraordinarily primitive to me. There is something very, very basic about the story, and many times it feels like it's written with the mindset of a sixth grade boy: lots of graphic talk about sex and body parts, and lots of bloody killing. Until the last part, there wasn't much nuance and there wasn't a lot of reflection on anyone's part.The Flood story is well-described here, lending credence to an actual, world-changing flood taking place at some point in history. The narrative of it is very interesting, especially the description of a square “boat” constructed and filled with pairs of animals.Book X is much more thoughtful than earlier sections. Gilgamesh is mourning his dead friend, searching for ways that he himself might become immortal. But the only immortal human tells him:Humans are born, they live, then they die, this is the order that the gods have decreed. But until the end comes, enjoy your life, spend it in happiness, not despair. Savor your food, make each of your days a delight, bathe and anoint yourself, wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean, let music and dancing fill your house, love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace. This is the best way for a man to live.And that's what it comes down to. Man will always and forever struggle with his mortality. We have and we will. The oldest and most enduring story is about the oldest and most enduring question.There is just not a lot of man-woman romance in these old stories. Only Penelope and Odysseus come to mind in the last few weeks. Here, Enkidu is seduced by the temple prostitute but there's not much more mention of women than that. I was actually surprised to see a wife mentioned in the quote above!The Dhammapada reminded me very, very much of The Analects of Confucius (Week 4). Books of aphorisms are very hard to read in big chunks, as I've already noted. It's more a matter of scanning, trying to see how things fit together, if there are over-arching themes. I have a few thoughts here as well:Some of these sayings of Buddha are good sense, and we saw them in Confucius, and we see them in Proverbs. A wrongly-directed mind will do to you far worse than any enemy; a rightly-directed one will do you good.All the talk of “emptying” and forgetting the self is bleak to me. It's a completely different mindset from the Greek philosophy I've read until now. It's not Stoic; it's a kind of blankness, a rejection of self but not an embrace of anything else as far as I can tell. Reading...

On Thursday April 18th, 2024 -- The Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review the new publication of "My First Two Thousand Years" (1928) by George Sylvester Viereck and Paul Eldridge. This is a controversial but literary biography of the mythical "Wandering Jew". Sylvester Viereck was a German patriot who employed Aleister Crowley to write anti-British propaganda for his newspaper during the early days of World War One. The book, "My First Two Thousand Years," was written and published in the 1920s and must be judged in the climate of that era. That said, it is still a good read. Isaac Laquedem, the Wandering Jew, chases his immortal love Salome thru the centuries. He meets Nero, Marcus Aurelius, Appolonius of Tyana and on to hobnob with Gilles de Rais, the satanic child-murderer who was Joan of Arc's general, and on into modern times where he meets Baron de Rothschild and Vladimir Lenin. This book was actually the first of a three-decker novel, the second volume was Salome's story (My First Two Thousand Years of Love) and finally: "The Invincible Adam" who was their African servant Kotikokura that they were civilizing. Each of these books tells the same story, each from their separate viewpoint, a technique which influenced the best seller The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell (1957-60) and the film series Highlander. Of course the book, or books, are very metaphoric. Isaac, or Cartiphilus to use his Roman name, is representative of the Jewish diaspora. Salome is a spokesperson for rising feminism. She is determined to conquer the curse of moon and liberate the feminine gender. Kotikokura is the third world enslaved and exploited, finally throwing off his chains but he is also based on Gilgamesh's wild man Enkidu. All considered, "My First Two Thousand Years" has a lot to offer the 21st century's thoughtful readers.

Episode: Here's the second in our multi-part series on the Epic of Gilgamesh, hosted by Chris McKinny and Amy Balogh! They finish Tablet 1 in this episode, discussing Gilgamesh's need to tame his passions, his journey into the wilds, the character Enkidu, links to early Genesis (e.g., Enkidu as Adam), links to Daniel and much more!

Her voice was sweet and liquid, like a streamThat lulls all other streams to sleep and dream;Her eyes like doe's eyes, whose dark gaze would makeA lion lie down dazed, and half awake.She seemed an alphabet of loveliness,Curved letters were the curling of each tress,Straight letters were her stature, and her lipsWere like a letter formed as an ellipse,And all the letters made her like that bowlThat shows the world as an enchanted whole.The story of Layli and Manjun — sometimes written as Layla and Majnun — was most famously recorded in a book-length poem by the twelfth-century Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, written over 4,000 years ago, Enkidu, the great friend of the demigod Gilgamesh, dies. Afraid of death, Gilgamesh asks the sage Utnapishtim, the only survivor of the Great Flood, about the secret to immortality. Utnapishtim gives Gilgamesh a number of tasks, all of which he fails. But that was the point. Gilgamesh learned that immortality is beyond his grasp and returns to Uruk to live out the rest of his life as king.  The first emperor of China was Shi Huang Di. Buried in a tomb decorated with the famous terracotta soldiers, he also feared death and called on Chinese alchemists to create an elixir that would allow him to live forever. The alchemists believed they could make immortality possible through a perfect balance of the five elements: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Unfortunately for the emperor, the elixir contained mercury (because it is both a liquid and a metal), which likely contributed to the emperor's death.  Attempts to achieve immortality have continued (and continued to fail) right up to our own time. Medieval European alchemists believed they could produce “the philosopher's stone,” which would perfect the imperfect, turning lead into gold and making mortal life immortal. Enlightenment thinkers of the late 18th century rejected the mysticism of alchemy but continued to speculate about the means to attain physical immortality. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was written as a cautionary tale about scientific hubris, in response to the more modern attempts of medicine and biology to preserve, extend, and improve life.  Today, the quest for immortality continues. Through cryogenics, freshly deceased persons or animals are frozen, their blood replaced with “medical grade antifreeze” to prevent ice crystals from destroying cells. So, the idea goes, once medical technology is able to heal whatever caused their deaths, these creatures can be thawed, healed, and restored to life, possibly with additional enhancements. This approach assumes, among other things, that life and memory can be repaired if the body is repaired and the heart restarted.   In other words, life is seen in purely mechanical terms. This is an equal and opposite error to those pursuing immortality through cybertechnologies, believing that if our consciousness can be downloaded into computers, we can continue to exist as a sort of ghost in a machine. In this techno-gnosticism, our bodies are optional and not a necessary part of life. In this way of thinking, we are our minds, and our minds are nothing more than sophisticated software that can be downloaded into a computer, machine, or perhaps a new robotic body.  Other modern attempts at the Fountain of Youth—such as nutritional strategies, supplements, alternative medical practices, and gene-editing technologies like CRISPR—do not seek as much to avoid death as to extend life. These range from becoming more serious about healthy living to more extreme alternatives. A number of billionaires have been investing in research into life extension, including Sam Altman of OpenAI, Jeff Bezos, Google co-founder Larry Page, and Brian Armstrong of Coinbase. Some believe that our medical technologies will eventually reach a state of “Longevity Escape Velocity,” in which advances are increasing lifespans faster than the years go by, therefore bringing us to the point of immortality.  Despite our long history of failed attempts to live forever, many of which caused more harm than good, scientific hubris remains a temptation almost impossible to avoid. But we should take Mary Shelley's warnings seriously. Some of these longevity experiments will be interesting and ultimately harmless. Some may even help. Others, such as those involving gene-editing technology, will leave their own monsters waiting in the shadows, and it is unlikely, if history is any indication, that we will be able to see them coming.  A more basic problem is trying to defeat death while thinking it is only a material problem to be solved. No latter-day elixir can satisfy our fear of death, which is a physical consequence of metaphysical realities. What ancient emperors and modern tech barons so desperately seek is exactly what's offered in Christ: His eternal life exchanged for our mortal, sinful life. This exchange does not come from a laboratory bottle filled with who knows what, but from an empty tomb. Ultimately, because He defeated death, our bodies will be perfected beyond what even the most optimistic biohacker could dream.   Yes, death remains an enemy. But it is a defeated foe, and all who are in Christ will ultimately see its defeat when we are resurrected to life eternal. This is the truth behind what are reported to have been Tim Keller's final words: “There is no downside for me leaving, not in the slightest.” And Dietrich Bonhoeffer's, as well: “This is the end—for me, the beginning of life.”  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Glenn Sunshine.
