Podcasts about Gilgamesh

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.Before we start, though, we talk about graduation speeches...and share the graduation speech we wish we'd heard.Next, we journey from Western literature back to ancient China to explore two timeless texts: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching (c. 500 B.C.) and Sun Tzu's The Art of War (c. 400 B.C.), roughly contemporary with Confucius and Plato. After a lukewarm experience with Confucius' Analects in Week 4, we adjusted our approach to these aphoristic works, splitting each into five parts and interleaving them daily. While this didn't make reading easier, it encouraged comparisons between the two.The Tao Te Ching offers a serene philosophy of “the Way,” advocating a life of detachment and flow, like a leaf on a stream. Key insights include prioritizing essence over form (e.g., the space within walls over the walls themselves), embracing hands-off leadership, and avoiding rules or weapons that may incite vice or war. But it's passive: retreating rather than advancing in the face of evil feels challenging, especially compared to active resistance like Gandhi's. The Tao's detachment felt isolating, distinct from the interconnected self-emptying of the Dhammapada or Boethius' Christian-Stoic blend.In contrast, The Art of War is a ruthless manual of military strategy. Sun Tzu, who famously beheaded two concubines to prove his methods to King Ho Lu, emphasizes deception, swift victory, and avoiding prolonged conflict. Key takeaways: defensive measures prevent defeat but don't ensure victory; desperate soldiers fight hardest; and spies are a humane, cost-effective tool. We ponder the status of Sun's soldiers (free or enslaved?), recalling Herodotus' Spartan-Persian debates on free men's ferocity. The texts seem to clash: the Tao's passivity versus Sun's calculated control, though Sun's strategic setups might align with the Tao's inevitable flow.We noted a cultural contrast: Chinese texts lack the narrative epics of Western heroes like Odysseus or Gilgamesh, hinting at differing worldviews. Unlike Confucius' moral focus, neither text emphasizes goodness, which surprised us. Our Tao edition (Stephen Miller's) felt overly modernized, while our unannotated Art of War was dry but tactically insightful, especially for business or military studies. Pairing it with Herodotus or Machiavelli could be illuminating.Don't skip the music! Three albums each from the Beatles and The Rolling Stones...when was the last time you listened to one all the way through?Next week, we return to narrative with Apuleius' Golden Ass, explore Scott Joplin's ragtime, and admire van Gogh's art.

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

Across time and cultures, legendary quests have shaped the way we see heroism, destiny, and the divine. In this episode of Mythlok, your host Nitten Nair takes you on a cinematic journey through the most iconic mythical adventures — from Gilgamesh's search for immortality, Odysseus' long road home, and Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece, to Rama's battle against evil and the pursuit of the Holy Grail. Inspired by the storytelling tone of Sir David Attenborough, this immersive episode explores how these quests reflect our own search for meaning, courage, and truth.

Greg Jenner is joined in ancient Mesopotamia by Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid and comedian Phil Wang to learn about the history of cuneiform, the oldest writing system in the world.In the 19th Century, European scholars began to translate inscriptions found on ruins and clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia - an area of the world between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that encompasses modern Iraq, as well as parts of Syria, Iran, Turkey and Kuwait. The script they deciphered became known as cuneiform, and this distinctive wedge-shaped writing system is perhaps the oldest in the world. The earliest cuneiform tablet is in fact over 5,000 years old.These clay tablets reveal much about the daily life of people in this part of the ancient world, recording everything from the amounts of beer sold by brewers and the best way to ask the gods for advice, to squabbles between husbands and wives and even the lullabies used to get babies to sleep. The first recorded epic poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh, is also preserved thanks to cuneiform. This episode traces the history of cuneiform, exploring how this script worked, who used it and what they used it for, what it tells us about the inhabitants of ancient Mesopotamia, and how it was finally deciphered.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Pourtant, les textes de Ninive ont joué un grand rôle dans ses travaux de déchiffrement de l'assyrien. On examinera tour à tour sa « Mission scientifique en Angleterre » de 1855 et l'usage qu'il fit des photos de Roger Fenton à partir de 1857 ; la suite de l'exploitation des trésors du musée britannique (1861-1872) ; et enfin la part qu'il prit dans l'édition du « Poëme du Déluge » de l'épopée de Gilgamesh découvert par George Smith en 1872.

En este fascinante episodio de Ser Historia, Nacho Ares conversa con el escritor e investigador Javier Sierra para desentrañar el misterio y la simbología oculta tras las grandes catedrales medievales europeas. Más que meros logros arquitectónicos, estos imponentes templos son herederos de antiguas tradiciones espirituales y esotéricas. Inspiradas por construcciones milenarias como pirámides, zigurats y templos orientales, las catedrales góticas fueron concebidas como auténticos libros de piedra dirigidos al alma del hombre medieval. A través de la Catedral de Santiago de Compostela y su enigmático Pórtico de la Gloria, Javier Sierra revela cómo símbolos antiguos, como la figura del mítico Gilgamesh dominando leones, parecen haberse filtrado en el arte cristiano sin explicación aparente. ¿Cómo llegó este conocimiento mesopotámico a una catedral del siglo XII? La conversación se adentra también en paralelismos inquietantes entre el Juicio Final medieval y el juicio de las almas en el antiguo Egipto, y en cómo elementos como los laberintos, las vidrieras astronómicas o los zodíacos esculpidos revelan una obsesión por la trascendencia, el cosmos y la sabiduría ancestral. El episodio culmina con una reflexión sobre la figura enigmática de Fulcanelli, autor ocultista y alquimista, que señaló las catedrales góticas como libros sagrados cargados de claves herméticas. Un viaje apasionante por la Edad Media que nos recuerda que la historia también se escribe con símbolos… y con piedra. https://www.edenex.es

In a wild ride through tech, theology, and ancient myth, Shipwreck unpacks a tangled web of artificial intelligence, conspiracy theories, and spiritual introspection in Episode 4 of the Shipwreck Show. Kicking off with a hilarious but unsettling look at deepfake AI videos, she dives into the uncanny realism of new tools like Google's VO3, the dangers of manipulated footage, and the generational gaps in digital discernment, especially on platforms like Facebook. But things get deeper. Shipwreck weaves AI anxieties into biblical and mythological themes, from the Matrix-as-reality theory to the Nephilim and the legend of Gilgamesh. Drawing from leaked Hillary Clinton emails and the “Gilgamesh Resurrection Protocol,” she speculates whether 2016 marked a global pivot point, one where we chose AI innovation over ancient darkness. Between laughter, prophecy, and sourdough starter updates (shoutout to Bread Pilled), she questions our place in a digitally reawakening world. Is humanity in a redemption arc? Did we dodge a literal apocalypse? This episode explores it all with unfiltered conviction, leaving you wondering if the fridge civilization metaphor might not be so far off. A must-listen for truth seekers, skeptics, and sourdough fanatics alike.

While Truth Fairy is away, Dr. T hosts this episode solo, welcoming Scott Hill, author of “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, who completed his PhD with a dissertation titled ‘Building a Jungian Framework for Understanding Psychedelic Induced Psychotic States' at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Dr. Hill shares his early transformative encounters with LSD in 1967, which, though initially ecstatic, devolved into psychologically traumatic events. These experiences led him on a lifelong journey of self-exploration, academic inquiry, and healing.  Scott shares his journey very openly with Dr. T and they discuss how Scott's return to academia in Cailfornia, studying under Stan Grof and Ralph Metzner, deepened his understanding of his own experiences. They examine how Jung's concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes reflect in intense psychedelic states. Scott details how key reading, Holotropic Breathwork, a medicine circle. and an MDMA-assisted therapy session at Burning Man, and MDMA-assisted therapy all helped heal his ongoing flashbacks.  Dr. T and Scott Hill share a deep and revelatory conversation, at the end of which Scott expresses gratitude for the path he was forced onto in spite of how painfully it began. He describes writing and academic research as transformative tools and identifies scholarship as a spiritual practice in its own right. “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, Dr. Hill's book, is now foundational in psychedelic psychotherapy circles, and his insights are key to understanding much about psychedelic psychology. “As I read about the myths of Gilgamesh, Inanna,, Job and Christ, I was struck by the resonance between passages in those myths and my difficult psychedelic experiences. Given the Jungian view that myths are expressions of the archetypal unconscious, and given the resonance I experienced reading those myths, I started to wonder whether my terrifying trips, and perhaps those of others, might be understood, in Jung's words, as experiences of an archetypal nature.” - Scott Hill About Scott Hill:Scott J. Hill, Ph.D., lives in Sweden, where he conducts scholarly research on the intersection between psychedelic studies and Jungian psychology. He holds degrees in psychology from the University of Minnesota and in philosophy and religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies.Book: “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience” by Scott J.

“Los primeros textos escritos de los que se tiene constancia son apuntes contables.

Darmok (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S5 E2) was recommended by Toledo (he), who said: Yes, this is one of the most famous episodes of The Next Generation. That's because it's darn good. There's so many wonderful moments: the rarity of the depiction of aliens initiating a first contact with the Federation, the humor of the Enterprise crew's incomprehension, the exploration of cultural misunderstandings beyond the linguistic (Dathon casts lots, what's the knife for), Picard telling the 4,000-year-old story of Gilgamesh right as Dathon dies, and the centrality of the term "Darmok," leading us to wonder: who in this story *is* Darmok?But one thing I love about it is akin to why I recommended "Distant Origin." Just like that Voyager episode catastrophically misrepresents evolution, "Darmok" butchers linguistics: there is no way that a culture could communicate solely via memes and references. There has to be some linguistic substrate in which the foundational stories could be communicated, after all. The premise of the episode would fall apart under the slightest examination. But it doesn't matter: it serves the story, the story is good, and the story of two strangers willing to risk life for the opportunity to share stories is the heart of Star Trek.Darmok first aired on September 30, 1991, written by story by Philip LaZebnik & Joe Menosky, teleplay by Joe Menosky, and directed by Winrich KolbePicard must learn to communicate with an alien captain who speaks in metaphors before a dangerous beast kills them both.

In this episode, I welcome back author and scholar Peter Mark Adams for a rich and far-reaching conversation centred on his upcoming book from Theion Publishing "Ritual & Epiphany in the Mysteries of Mithras – The Secret Cult of Saturn in Imperial Rome" an extraordinary and deeply thoughtful study of the cult of Mithras. Peter takes us through the ancient layers beneath Mithraic practice — its origins, iconography, cosmology, and initiatory structure — tracing a lineage from early Mesopotamian myths such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, through the cultic worship of Saturn, and into the esoteric heart of Imperial Rome. What emerges from his research is a profound view of Mithraism not simply as a Roman mystery cult, but as the survival of a much older, animistic, star-oriented cosmology. It is a vision of reality structured around spirit, fate, celestial forces, and the metamorphosis of the human soul.Peter takes us through the complex ideas behind his thesis weaving in insights from recent advances in anthropology, ethnography, and comparative religion. He draws particularly from the Orphic mysteries to illuminate the metaphysical architecture underpinning the Mithraic rites. We unpack how the mysteries functioned as both a lived, embodied practice and a carefully guarded initiatic system, intended to bring about deep spiritual transformations in their adherents. The conversation explores the mythic grammar encoded in the Tauroctony — the slaying of the bull — not as a static religious image but as a dynamic, performative act tied to the movement of the heavens and the soul's journey through the stars.In the Plus show, Peter also shares fascinating insights into the seven grades of Mithraic initiation, each representing different spiritual and cosmic stations, and the curious fact that while the cult is famous for these grades, only two formal initiation rituals are known. We delve into the frescoes at St. Capua Vetere, rare depictions that provide intimate glimpses into the ritual life of Mithraic initiates, and discuss how sacred art served not merely as decoration but as an active, living technology for transformation.Along the way, we touch on the challenges faced by modern researchers and practitioners in articulating and re-contextualising these ancient experiences in a world that has largely lost the language for mystery. We talk about the difficulty of bridging the gap between ancient participatory worldviews and the post-Enlightenment skepticism that dominates contemporary thought — and how, paradoxically, the sciences of anthropology and archaeology often come closest to glimpsing the ancient mysteries, even as they struggle to fully comprehend them.Show notes:Peter's site https://petermarkadams.comPeter's instagram https://www.instagram.com/petermarkadams/Peter's Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/petermarkadams/postsTheion Publishing https://theionpublishing.com/shop/pma-ritualepiphany/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJt5h9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHrcrTB0SZCnZKoBiV8ekJtAVHGQawQVzitb5lGAscZwhU94lYmX-PLrQDWW9_aem_NJX2uq5lcQtsID72NJrHJASola-Busca Workshop, Turin https://www.houseofzophiel.com/sola-busca.htmlCosmic or Orphic egg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_eggPhanes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhanesTauroctony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TauroctonySt. Capua Vetere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_Capua_VetereEpic of Gilgamesh https://www.britannica.com/topic/Epic-of-GilgameshOrphism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OrphismMithras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MithraismHenosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HenosisLeontocephaline https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9461/2/2/3Chora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KhôraApogenesis https://www.iasdurham.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Hannah_From-Here-to-the-Hereafter-Genesis-and-Apogenesis-in-Ancient-Philosophy-and-Architecture.pdfKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmasonMusic by Obliqka https://soundcloud.com/obliqka

If a story reveals something about its characters, it also reveals something about the storyteller. The story you're about to hear is no exception. But what could a story tell about the one who is telling it? You might ask. Well, what if, in this story, the storyteller was the Prince of them all? What if, thousands of years ago, he understood better than anyone what makes a story an invisible thread connecting humanity together? What if he told a tale you could still connect with today? His name was Ovid. And this podcast episode is about Daphne, who became a tree; Apollo, whom she fled; and Ovid, who told their story.⭐ If you liked the episode, please share it and rate it 5 stars on your favorite platform.Sources:The Metamorphoses by Ovid, translation by Mary M.

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...

Elif Shafak's award-winning novels are celebrated globally. Her work has been translated into 58 languages, and her latest, There Are Rivers in the Sky, is a testament to the power of storytelling across borders and cultures. This is an epic story of interconnection. Spanning ancient Mesopotamia to contemporary London, Shafak charts the lifespan of a raindrop, as it is consumed, subsumed and transformed across continents and centuries. This sweeping narrative is anchored by the lives of three characters, all of whom live on the banks of the Thames or the Tigris. Their lives are all touched by the Epic of Gilgamesh, a poem written during the late second millennium BC. In April 2025 Shafak was be joined by historian Peter Frankopan on the Intelligence Squared stage. In his acclaimed The Earth Transformed, Frankopan explores how the natural environment has shaped the development and demise of civilisations across time. Here he joined Shafak to shed light on the history of ancient Mesopotamia and the weaving of epic narratives across time and place. ------ If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

We're no longer kids shown bright, colorful displays of Noah's Ark and cartoons depicting the tale. So, what do we do with the Bible's flood narrative(s)? Should we take the story at face value and not dive deeper for the core of the story's message?In this episode, our hosts do just that—they dive deeper. Chris, Ryan, and Darrell unpack the flood written about in Genesis, provide cultural context, and tell us why hope—despite a divine disaster that wipes out the world—is what it's all about.Thank you for listening!

Greg Jenner is joined in ancient Mesopotamia by Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid and comedian Phil Wang to learn about the history of cuneiform, the oldest writing system in the world.In the 19th Century, European scholars began to translate inscriptions found on ruins and clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia - an area of the world between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that encompasses modern Iraq, as well as parts of Syria, Iran, Turkey and Kuwait. The script they deciphered became known as cuneiform, and this distinctive wedge-shaped writing system is perhaps the oldest in the world. The earliest cuneiform tablet is in fact over 5,000 years old.These clay tablets reveal much about the daily life of people in this part of the ancient world, recording everything from the amounts of beer sold by brewers and the best way to ask the gods for advice, to squabbles between husbands and wives and even the lullabies used to get babies to sleep. The first recorded epic poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh, is also preserved thanks to cuneiform. This episode traces the history of cuneiform, exploring how this script worked, who used it and what they used it for, what it tells us about the inhabitants of ancient Mesopotamia, and how it was finally deciphered.If you're a fan of historical puzzles, amazing archaeological finds and the intimate details of everyday life in the ancient world, you'll love our episode on cuneiform.If you want more from Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid, check out our episode on Ancient Babylon.

Could a semi-divine king's body survive five millennia beneath Iraq's sands? What if Gilgamesh wasn't myth but biological fact—a being whose remains would shatter our understanding of human evolution? The epic describes immortality techniques lost to time.

The fear of death is an experience common to most of humanity - in fact, one of the oldest pieces of literature, the Epic of Gilgamesh, shows one man's struggle with that very fear. Christianity's promise of heaven provides a safe haven from that fear - but what did Jesus think about life after death? Today on Misquoting Jesus, Dr. Bart Ehrman discusses what the Gospels tell us about Jesus' thoughts and beliefs surrounding death, and to ask whether he would even have recognized our modern concept of an eternal paradise.
