Maintenant Vous Savez, c'est aussi ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé⁠ et ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture⁠. Un film apporte, en plus de son histoire et de sa réalisation, son lot de célébrités. Si on pense plus particulièrement aux acteurs, on n'oublie trop souvent que les endroits où les films ont été tournés sont devenus culte par la même occasion. Dans la liste des endroits les plus visités au monde, on tombe rapidement sur le site de Petra, en Jordanie. Souvent considéré comme la 8e merveille du monde, sa fréquentation a été accrue fin des années 80 par le tournage d'une scène importante d'Indiana Jones et la dernière croisade. Quels sont les lieux existants qui ont surfé sur le cinéma pour gagner en popularité ? Quels lieux touristiques ne doivent leur existence qu'au cinéma ? ⁠⁠Ecoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".⁠⁠ Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Thomas Deseur.

Finalist #4 in the Book Review Contest [This is one of the finalists in the 2026 book review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] Introduction: He Who Saw the Deep I've been thinking, lately, about the first epic story ever written. If you know anything about the Epic of Gilgamesh, you know that it's old. This is part of why I find it so interesting, but not the only part. The best comparison I can think of is the pyramids, which are just a little older. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built in the 2500s BC, around the same time as Stonehenge1 , twenty-five centuries before Cleopatra lived. It predates candles, concrete, and coins; it was centuries old when the first empire rose and when the woolly mammoth went extinct. Around 100 BC, Antipater of Sidon wrote a list of the seven most impressive sights ('Seven wonders') of the world - the pyramids were by far the oldest of the group at the time, and now, two thousand years later, all the others on the list have long since been destroyed. This should remind us that the pyramids don't just stretch far back in time - they stretch forward as well. They are piles of stone. They may be the product of the greatest minds of their age striving to put more stone in a more orderly pile than anyone had before, but still, they are piles of stone, basically artificial rock formations. They will still be there in a hundred thousand years, probably a million. They are so old they brush up against the beginning of civilisation, and yet, we are seeing them today in their youth.

What's a W.H.40.K? — An introduction to Warhammer 40,000's immense science-fantasy horror setting, where a corpse-worshipping human empire fights aliens, daemons, ancient machines, and its own terrible history. 1. The Imperium of Man — From Dune, Foundation, Roman decline, and medieval Christendom comes a galactic empire where the future is not progress but a dead civilization kept moving through faith, fear, and paperwork. 2. Space Marines — The Imperium's iconic super-soldiers combine power armor and military science fiction with crusading knights, Spartan myth, warrior monks, kidnapped children, and the seductive imagery of authoritarian heroism. 3. Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard — Drawing from trench literature, British war comics, Kipling, and future-war fiction, the Guard are ordinary people sent into cosmic horror with little more than courage and a lasgun. 4. Adeptus Mechanicus — Frankenstein, Metropolis, invention pulp, and lost-technology stories meet in a machine cult where science survives, understanding does not, and repairs are performed like religious rites. 5. Adepta Sororitas / Ecclesiarchy — Gothic convents, martyr legends, Joan of Arc, witchfinders, and Hammer horror become armored saints who turn faith, suffering, and flamethrowers into instruments of Imperial power. 6. The Inquisition — The occult detective and witch-hunter become one terrifying Imperial investigator who may uncover the truth only to burn every witness, building, and planet touched by it. 7. Rogue Traders — Planetary romance, colonial adventure fiction, space opera, pirates, and merchant princes combine in explorers licensed to discover strange worlds, trade with them, rob them, or claim them for the Imperium. 8. Adeptus Custodes — Ancient palace guards, sacred kingship, Achilles, and Gilgamesh stand behind the Emperor's golden companions: philosopher-warriors created to protect a god who is already dead. 9. Adeptus Titanicus / Titan Legions — Giant robots descend from Martian tripods, dreadnoughts, siege engines, golems, and war gods to become walking cathedrals capable of teaching entire cities to kneel. 10. The Horus Heresy — Warhammer's great betrayal myth draws from Lucifer, Cain and Abel, Arthur and Mordred, Roman civil wars, and fallen-hero stories to explain how the Emperor's favored son broke the human future from within. 11. Chaos Space Marines — Fallen angels, Byronic rebels, cursed champions, and Milton's Satan become immortal super-soldiers whose genuine grievances have curdled into rebellion, bitterness, and damnation. 12. Chaos Daemons — Medieval demonology, grimoires, occult pulp, weird fiction, and nightmare cinema become psychic entities made from mortal rage, despair, ambition, obsession, and desire. 13. World Eaters / Khorne — Sword-and-sorcery pulp, berserker sagas, gladiator spectacle, and revenge tragedy create warriors who reduce every political, emotional, and moral problem to an axe blow. 14. Death Guard / Nurgle — Plague literature, danse macabre, zombie films, body horror, and graveyard humor meet in rotting soldiers who have surrendered to decay and discovered that the joke is that they are happy. 15. Thousand Sons / Tzeentch — Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, mummy fiction, occult scholarship, and forbidden-book stories become sorcerers who sought perfect knowledge only to discover that the book was reading them back. 16. Emperor's Children / Slaanesh — Decadent literature, Gothic aristocrats, glam horror, cursed art, and The Picture of Dorian Gray shape warriors who pursued perfection until beauty became an endlessly hungry mouth. 17. Chaos / Imperial Knights — Haunted castles, ancestral armor, chivalric romance, feudal bloodlines, and giant-robot fiction become seventy-foot war machines carrying generations of family pride, duty, resentment, and curses. 18. Orks — Fantasy orcs, Mad Max, British hooligan comedy, fungus horror, and invasive-species stories combine in a joyful alien ecosystem where killing the enemy may only plant the next war. 19. Tyranids — Alien, The Thing, bug-war fiction, parasite horror, and cosmic naturalism become an extragalactic appetite that does not hate humanity because hatred would interfere with digestion. 20. Genestealer Cults — Body-snatcher films, changeling folklore, secret-cult pulp, family curses, and invasion paranoia create an alien uprising that begins not in the sky but at the dinner table. 21. Necrons — Killer robots and artificial-labor nightmares combine with mummy curses, tomb kings, and cursed archaeology to produce immortal metal dynasties waking from the grave with better weapons than the living. 22. Aeldari / Drukhari — Elves, cruel fairy courts, dying-earth fiction, lost civilizations, decadent aristocrats, and vampire cities become two responses to apocalypse: mourning the fall or continuing the party forever. 23. Night Lords — Batman, slashers, serial killers, Gothic villains, Grand Guignol, and public-execution culture become terror troops who transform punishment into theatre and fear into government. 24. T'au Empire and Leagues of Votann — The T'au combine utopian science fiction, anime mecha, and benevolent imperialism, while the Votann draw from mining frontiers, company towns, clone labor, ancestor cults, and corporate survivalism. 25.

Can you be a serious scientist and still believe Genesis is real history?In Part 2 of this conversation on the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver continues his discussion with paleontologist and geologist Dr. Marcus Ross about Young Earth Creationism, Genesis, science, biblical authority, and the relationship between faith and scientific research.How should Christians respond when scientific conclusions appear to conflict with Scripture? Does saying that "the Bible is not a science textbook" mean that Genesis should not be understood as history? And can ancient Near Eastern creation stories help us understand Genesis without becoming the lens through which we interpret it?Dr. Ross argues that while the Bible is not a modern science textbook, it does make meaningful historical claims about reality. Those historical claims, he explains, can provide important starting points for scientific investigation and the development of scientific models.In this conversation, Dr. Weaver and Dr. Ross also explore the relationship between ancient Near Eastern literature and Genesis. While comparative studies can provide helpful linguistic and cultural background, they argue that Genesis should ultimately be interpreted according to its own literary and theological context rather than having an external genre imposed upon it.Dr. Ross also shares his personal journey as a young earth creationist studying geology and paleontology in secular universities. He discusses the challenges he faced, the questions and tensions he encountered, and why he believes rigorous scientific research and confidence in the historical claims of Genesis do not have to be mutually exclusive.In this episode, you'll discover:How ancient Near Eastern creation stories can—and cannot—help us understand GenesisWhy Genesis should not simply be interpreted through the lens of Enuma Elish, Gilgamesh, or other ancient textsWhat it means to distinguish between "intrinsic" and "extrinsic" genresHow the Bible can make historical claims without functioning as a modern scientific textbookWhy Dr. Marcus Ross believes Genesis provides historical "tie points" for scientific investigationCan a scientist believe in Young Earth Creationism?What challenges young earth creationists can face in secular academic settingsHow Young Earth Creationism has developed as an area of scientific researchHow Christians should approach apparent conflicts between science and ScriptureWhy science and theology should both be examined carefully when their conclusions appear to differWhy Dr. Ross believes Scripture has a unique authority as God's propositional revelationResources for Christians who want to explore creation, origins, and Genesis more deeplyFor Christians wrestling with questions about creation versus evolution, the age of the earth, Noah's Flood, fossils, geology, biblical inerrancy, science and faith, or the historical reliability of Genesis, this episode offers a thoughtful conversation about how Christians can engage difficult questions without abandoning either intellectual rigor or confidence in Scripture.

On this episode, I'm joined by returning guest Alexis “Lex” Fajardo, Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and creator of Kid Beowulf, to talk about his newest Kickstarter: The Kid Beowulf Odyssey Annual. The campaign features a 44-page, full-color comic book collecting three new stories from Kid Beowulf Odyssey. It follows twin brothers Beowulf and Grendel as they enter a new adventure where they must survive a land of myths and monsters. If you're new to the series, Kid Beowulf is a middle-grade graphic novel adventure inspired by epic poetry and world mythology. It reimagines Beowulf and Grendel as 12-year-old twin brothers traveling across distant lands, meeting legendary heroes, and stumbling into danger everywhere they go. Lex has described the series as a gateway into older stories like Beowulf, Gilgamesh, and The Ramayana, using comics to point readers back toward the source material. We talk about creating annual-style comics, building a mythic universe, writing for middle-grade readers, crowdfunding, and why monsters are often the best way into timeless stories.   The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

Four thousand years before Ghost Hunters, somebody wrote down an encounter with the dead, and the instructions for getting rid of him involved beer. Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers offers up a brief origins of ghost hunting from the Epic of Gilgamesh and the oldest known image of a ghost, to the Roman philosopher who solved a haunting on a writing deadline, to the 1794 novel that used the phrase "ghost-hunting" like everybody already knew what it meant.

As we continue our journey through the Book of Revelation, we are moving into one of the most dramatic transitions in the entire prophetic narrative. The first four trumpets have progressively affected the created order—the earth, the sea, the rivers and waters, and the heavenly bodies. But when we arrive at the fifth and sixth trumpets, something fundamentally changes. The judgments are no longer primarily directed against creation. They are directed against humanity itself. And even more significantly, Revelation begins to pull back the veil and show us what lies behind the rebellion of humanity: a supernatural kingdom of darkness, a counterfeit kingdom that seeks to imitate, corrupt and ultimately replace the Kingdom of God. We saw how trumpets one to four struck creation – the trees, the seas, the rivers and the darkening of the sun and the moon and the stars. And now the fifth trumpet releases supernatural powers that torment humanity. Revelation 9:1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to harm those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads – they had no authority to kill those people, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days those people will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. THE FIFTH TRUMPET — THE ABYSS IS OPENED Then the fifth Trumpet sounds. John says: I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth. And to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. He says “to him.” The star is a personal being identified as Abaddon, in Hebrew, or Apollyon, in Greek. Both names mean Destroyer. This is therefore a supernatural ruler of the abyss. The abyss is opened, and smoke rises from it like the smoke of a great furnace. Then something terrifying emerges. Locust-like beings appear. But John repeatedly says they are “like” something. They have human-like faces. They have hair like women's hair. They have teeth like lions. They have breastplates like iron. Their wings sound like an enormous army. And they have tails like scorpions. The picture is deliberately unnatural and chilling. These are supernatural demonic powers released from the abyss, a demonic army under the authority of Apollyon/the destroyer. But what is extraordinarily important is that God remains sovereign, and the demons are not given unlimited authority. They are told what they may do and not do. They cannot destroy the vegetation. They cannot harm those who possess the seal of God. And their period of torment is limited. They are given five months. This does not necessarily mean that believers experience no challenge of suffering, but it tells us that God's people are never outside His protective care. The five-month period is significant - 150 days the same as the 150 days during which the floodwaters prevailed in the days of Noah and God's people were preserved. The days of Noah were characterised by corruption and judgment, but God preserved Noah and his household. And Revelation here again presents humanity facing a world of escalating judgment while God continues to preserve those who belong to Him – It's Psalm 91 again. And next is the sixth trumpet - unleashing an unprecedented force of destruction in which one-third of humanity dies. Then, between the sixth and seventh trumpets, Revelation chapter 10 gives us a remarkable prophetic prelude to what will happen in the Tribulation. John is shown that God's apparent and puzzling delay in revealing the enigma of the history of the world is coming to an end. The history of mankind while blessed with the goodness of God is a confusing and often unhinged narrative of human disasters. But the mystery of God in all this is approaching its unveiling and fulfillment. And finally, with the seventh trumpet, the great declaration is made: The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. So Revelation 9–10 is not simply a catalogue of frightening events. It is a movement toward the final confrontation between two kingdoms—the counterfeit kingdom of Satan and the true Kingdom of God. THE UNVEILING OF THE SATANIC KINGDOM To understand Revelation 9, we must understand the biblical story of human rebellion. Behind the visible structures of human civilisation lies a deeper spiritual conflict, describing the development of what can be called the satanic kingdom—a kingdom born from Lucifer's rebellious ambition. The rebellion is therefore not merely evil behaviour. It is usurpation/overthrow. And that same ambition eventually appears here in Revelation in its fullest form to construct a counterfeit of God's Kingdom. The biblical picture becomes almost like a dark mirror. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The satanic kingdom is portrayed through the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet. The Dragon represents Satan. The Beast receives worship. The False Prophet directs humanity toward that worship. The result is a counterfeit kingdom with a counterfeit ruler, counterfeit worship and counterfeit authority. This is a counterfeit trinity, with the Beast receiving the worship that belongs to Christ and the False Prophet directing humanity toward worship of the Beast and global economic control. This is why Revelation is so concerned with worship. The final conflict is therefore spiritual before it is political. FROM TORMENT TO DEATH — THE SIXTH TRUMPET So the fifth trumpet brought all that torment without death. Now the sixth trumpet brings death on an unprecedented scale. Four angels are released at the Euphrates. The Euphrates is not an arbitrary detail. It represented the boundary of the land promised to Abraham. It was associated historically with the great enemies of God's people, and the Euphrates also becomes significant because of its association with the ancient world of Genesis and the traditions surrounding the angelic watchers and the Nephilim giants, and the Mesopotamian traditions represented by the Epic of Gilgamesh. GILGAMESH, THE NEPHILIM AND THE ANCIENT REBELLION This brings us to a fascinating theological connection. There is a Biblical account in Genesis ch. 6 that speaks about angels coming down and procreating with women in the earth. Genesis 6:4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. This is also mentioned in Jude And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day (Jude 1:6). The Bible records this as ‘evil crossing divinely established boundaries' which led ultimately to the corruption of humanity and the judgement of the flood of Noah. But another reality reverses that claim and establishes a deliberate and deceptive ancient Mesopotamian worldview of surrounding nations in the Middle East that were not only corrupted by these angels, but who admired and eventually recognised them as demi-gods. The ancient Mesopotamian world produced stories of supernatural beings, superheroes and angelic-human interaction. One of these superheroes named Gilgamesh was praised in a document called ‘The Epic of Gilgamesh' which presents Gilgamesh as an extraordinary figure, described in Mesopotamian tradition as partly divine and partly human. This occultic worldview is being adopted by many in today's culture. Documents and scrolls have been found that draw upon the Book of Giants traditions associated with the Dead Sea Scrolls, where Gilgamesh and Humbaba are identified in connection with the Nephilim tradition. The tomb of Gilgamesh has become a place of real interest and artifacts have been taken from the area surrounding his tomb and the US government officially handed it back to Iraqi authorities during a repatriation ceremony in Washington, D.C. in September 2021. It is interesting that there has been a rise in occultic practices and satanic rituals being practised globally in recent times but as these things get called out and exposed the hearts of the people involved in these things are becoming even more hardened. This is what is called theological inversion. Mesopotamian culture celebrated supernatural heroes and beings as the bringers of wisdom, civilisation and political power, and magical crafts. They were traditionally viewed as supernatural semi-divine philosophers and sages. But what humanity celebrated as greatness actually represented Satanic rebellion against God. But the Bible in Genesis 6 presents what the ancient world calls “divine wisdom” as corrupted supernatural knowledge, and what is celebrated as heroic power was actually part of humanity's descent into violence and corruption that brought on Noah's flood. This provides an important backdrop for Revelation. The final conflict is not simply about modern politics. It reaches back into the ancient spiritual rebellion and overcomes it, and Revelation presents that rebellion and its final expression. THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION John then sees an army of extraordinary magnitude. Two hundred million. Humanity is confronted with a force of unprecedented destructive power. One-third of humanity is killed. First, creation is struck. Then humanity is tormented. Then humanity is killed on a massive scale. So the judgments are escalating. But then comes one of the most sobering statements in the entire passage. The survivors do not repent. After everything they have witnessed, they continue worshipping demons and idols. They continue in murders. They continue in sorceries. They continue in sexual immorality. They continue in theft. This teaches us something profound about judgment. Judgment does not automatically produce repentance. Pain does not necessarily soften the human heart. Fear does not necessarily create faith. Even witnessing supernatural intervention does not guarantee surrender to God. The human heart can become so hardened that even catastrophe becomes an opportunity for further rebellion – the great warning of Revelation. The problem is not simply that humanity needs better circumstances. The problem is that humanity needs redemption. REVELATION 10 — WHEN HEAVEN ANNOUNCES THAT THE DELAY IS ENDING After the sixth trumpet, before the seventh, John sees another mighty angel. The angel is clothed with a cloud. A rainbow is upon his head. His face is like the sun. His feet are like pillars of fire. The imagery is majestic and Christ-like. Yet John calls him another mighty angel, so the emphasis is that he functions as a heavenly representative of divine authority rather than being identified directly as Jesus. And then John hears seven thunders speak and is about to write what they say. But heaven tells him: “Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.” There are things God reveals. And there are things God deliberately does not reveal. Revelation means unveiling—but even Revelation contains mysteries that remain sealed. We do not know everything. We do not need to know everything. God remains God. THE LITTLE SCROLL — SWEET IN THE MOUTH, BITTER IN THE STOMACH Then John is commanded to take the little scroll and eat it. It is sweet in his mouth but it becomes bitter in his stomach. The Word of God is sweet because it reveals God's purposes. It is sweet because God's Kingdom is coming, and because Christ will triumph and because evil will not have the final word. But the message is also bitter because before the Kingdom comes, judgment must unfold, and before restoration, rebellion must be exposed, and before the final triumph, the darkness must be confronted. So the prophet has to carry both dimensions. Sweetness and bitterness, Hope and warning. Judgment and restoration. The Gospel is good news, but it is good news precisely because the powers that oppose God will ultimately be defeated. THE MYSTERY OF GOD Then we come to one of the most important statements in Revelation 10: “In the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished.” What is this mystery? It is a remarkable collection of biblical mysteries converging toward the final consummation. Mystery of Marriage: The union between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:32). Mystery of Babylon: The condemnation of the "great prostitute" and the Beast (Revelation 17). Mystery of Iniquity/Lawlessness: The working of Satan and the revelation of the "man of sin" (2 Thessalonians 2:7). Mystery of the Gospel: The shared life with Jesus to be understood by all (Ephesians 6:19). Mystery of Israel: The partial hardening of Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in (Romans 11:25). Mystery of the Resurrection: The instantaneous change of the living and the dead at the last trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:51). Mystery of Godliness: God manifested in the flesh and preached among nations (1 Timothy 3:16). Mystery of the Kingdom: Truths given to believers but hidden in parables from those outside (Mark 4:11). These themes are not isolated. They converge because the story that began in Genesis is moving toward its finality and the rebellion that began in the heavenly realm moves toward its final confrontation. The covenant purposes of God move toward fulfilment and the Gospel moves toward its universal proclamation and victory. The Bride moves toward her wedding while Babylon moves toward judgment. The Beast moves toward destruction and the Dragon moves toward defeat. And Christ moves toward His Kingdom - His victory is not just the destruction of His enemies. It is the restoration of God's order. JUDGMENT AND RESTORATION This is why we should not read Revelation simply as a book of catastrophe. Running underneath the judgments is a deeper biblical theme: sifting and restoration. God is exposing what cannot remain and bringing hidden rebellion into the light. He is exposing the counterfeit and separating truth from deception. He is judging the powers that have corrupted humanity and is ultimately restoring what was lost. The final Kingdom is therefore not merely about the end of something - It is about the beginning of something. The end of Satan's counterfeit kingdom becomes the beginning of the visible reign of Christ. So as we move forward in our study of Revelation, we need to understand what Revelation 9 and 10 are really showing us. It is God's victory over the satanic kingdom and human rebellion — from Genesis to Revelation God's purpose: God desired a human family on earth to love Him and be loved by Him. And He appointed angels to serve and minister to humanity (Ezek. 28; Heb. 1:14). Rebellion 1 — Lucifer and Eden: Lucifer rebelled against God and beguiled Eve, drawing humanity into rebellion through Adam and Eve. God declared that the seed of the woman would ultimately crush the serpent's seed (Gen. 3:15). Rebellion 2 — Genesis 6: Other rebellious heavenly beings violated the boundary between heaven and earth, taking human women and producing the Nephilim. Their rebellion contributed to the corruption of humanity and the spread of violence and evil, resulting in the Flood. The particular angels involved were subsequently judged and imprisoned (2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6). But Gilgamesh mythology praises the fallen angels' progeny as great demigods as explained before. Rebellion 3 — Babel and the nations: God restarted humanity through Noah, but the human heart remained rebellious. At Babel, humanity again resisted God's command to fill the earth. God confused their languages and scattered the nations. Deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes the nations being allotted according to the sons of God - lesser divine beings. These angels subsequently rebelled and became associated with the nations' idolatry and corruption (Ps. 82). God's response — Abraham and Israel: God called Abraham to become the father of a covenant people through whom He would reclaim the nations. Israel was brought out of Egypt and into Canaan, where it confronted nations associated with idolatry and, in some cases, the Nephilim/Anakim (Num. 13:33; Deut. 2–3). The preservation of Abraham's seed was central to God's redemptive purpose, ultimately bringing forth Jesus through Mary. Christ reverses Babel: Jesus sent out seventy disciples to announce the kingdom and confront the powers of darkness (Luke 10:1, 17–20). Through His death and resurrection, Christ defeated the powers and reconciled humanity to God (2 Cor. 5:14–19). At Pentecost, the Gospel was heard by people from many nations in their own languages (Acts 2)—a powerful reversal of Babel's division. Rebellion 4 — Revelation 9: In the final period of judgment, those previous demonic powers are released from the Euphrates and unleashed against humanity (Rev. 9). Their rebellion reaches its climax, but Christ ultimately defeats them and consigns the rebellious powers to an awaiting final judgment. Rebellion 5 — after the Millennium: After the thousand years, Satan is released once more and deceives the nations into one final assault against God's people. God intervenes with fire from heaven, decisively ending the rebellion (Rev. 20:7–10). The story is therefore not simply the history of humanity's rebellion. It is the story of God progressively defeating every rebellion—human and angelic—and ultimately reclaiming the nations for His Son. And then they show us something even greater and the delay is ending. The mystery is approaching completion. The prophetic Word must be proclaimed. And the seventh trumpet is waiting to be sounded (Revelation 11:15), and as Revelation unfolds from chapter 9 toward chapter 10 and beyond, we are watching the collapse of the counterfeit and the emergence of the true. The darkness becomes darker, the rebellion becomes more open, the judgments intensify, but the purpose of God becomes clearer. History is not spiralling out of control – it is simply the worldly kingdoms being shaken. And ultimately, the declaration of heaven will proclaim The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ—and He shall reign forever and ever. Amen.

Les Noces Chymiques, texte hermétique et ésotérique, figurent parmi les trois manifestes fondateurs de la Rose-Croix, aux côtés de la Fama Fraternitatis et de la Confessio Fraternitatis.  Nous aborderons d'abord l'histoire de la Rose-Croix et son mythe fondateur centré sur Christian Rosenkreutz, auteur symbolique des Noces Chymiques, avant d'examiner les influences ayant présidé à leur rédaction.  Ce récit, structuré en sept jours, se présente à la fois comme un manuel d'alchimie pratique et comme une allégorie initiatique, comparable à Perceval ou à l'épopée de Gilgamesh.  Il plonge le héros dans un univers symbolique où il est confronté à diverses épreuves : le puits de l'ignorance, la croisée des chemins, l'épreuve du jugement, la fontaine d'Hermès, la belle endormie, la tour de l'Olympe et la résurrection du phénix.⛎ Soutenir l'émission sur Tipeee : https://www.tipeee.com/arcana-mysteres-du-monde

Critics often dismiss the story of Noah's Ark as a primitive fable, picturing a cramped, unstable boat overflowing with animals. Yet when you analyze the structural blueprints recorded in Genesis, modern science and naval architecture tell a completely different story. In this episode of Anchored by Truth, hosts Victoria K. and R.D. Fierro explore the remarkable engineering, practical design, and physical evidence behind the vessel that preserved life on Earth during global catastrophe. -- Genesis gives precise dimensions with a six-to-one length-to-width ratio, which modern naval architecture recognizes as an ideal proportion for maximum stability and roll resistance in heavy seas. -- Advanced hydrodynamic testing conducted by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering proved that a model built to the Ark's biblical proportions could withstand waves up to 100 feet high, and up to 150 feet with reinforced construction. -- Historical candidates for gopher wood, such as cypress or Indian teak, provide incredible natural resistance to decay, immense structural integrity, and long-term durability in wet environments. -- The specification to coat the Ark inside and out with pitch and charcoal created a resilient barrier that sealed seams while dramatically improving impact resistance against floating flood debris. -- The continuous 18-inch opening beneath the roof acted as a vital ventilation band, allowing dangerous body heat, moisture, and odors from thousands of animals to rise and escape. -- The heavy cargo of animals and food provided necessary ballast, lowering the vessel's draft in the water to prevent capsizing during the most violent early stages of the deluge. -- Unlike the unlivable, cube-shaped vessel described in ancient pagan legends like the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Biblical Ark reflects sober, functional engineering designed specifically for real-world survival. -- Ultimately, the physical protection provided by the wooden Ark serves as a profound historical picture of the ultimate spiritual rescue offered through Jesus Christ. Scriptures for Further Study -- Genesis 6:14-16 -- Genesis 7:11-12 -- Genesis 8:1-4 -- 1 Peter 3:20-21 -- John 14:6 This is episode 381. +++++++ You can find more information here: http://www.crystalseabooks.com/

The ancient world had its own creation story. Its own flood. Its own gods at war before the world was ever made. And when Genesis was written, every person who read it knew those stories by heart. So what happens when you put the Bible back into the world it actually came from? Dr. Richard Averbeck has spent more than forty years finding out, working directly in Sumerian, Akkadian, and the Hebrew of the Pentateuch, reading the cuneiform tablets most people have never heard of. What he has found does not weaken Scripture. It sharpens it.In this conversation, Averbeck takes us inside the world of Enuma Elish, Gilgamesh, and the Sumerian King List, and shows exactly where Genesis overlaps with them and where it breaks away completely. He explains why the sun and the moon are never named in Genesis 1, why there is no cosmic battle in the creation account, and where that battle actually shows up instead. His answer to that last question reframes the entire book of Genesis, runs straight through Ephesians 6 and Revelation 12, and explains why the fight we are in is over us. This is one of the most clarifying conversations we have had on this show.In this episode you will learn:Why the biblical writers never wrote in a vacuum, and how Akkadian became the common language of the ancient world for fifteen hundred yearsWhat Genesis 1 is doing when it calls the sun and moon the greater light and the lesser light instead of naming themWhere Genesis genuinely parallels the Babylonian creation account, and where it stands completely against itWhy there is no cosmic battle in Genesis 1, and why Averbeck argues it was moved to Genesis 3How the ancient practice of cursing anyone who damaged a king's statue explains the serpent's attack on the image of GodWhat Gilgamesh Tablet 11 shares with the biblical flood, and what Genesis does that no other flood story couldWhy reading Genesis with naked eye observation resolves so many arguments about the Bible and scienceHow the three tiered ancient cosmos shapes the literary structure of the six days of creationWhat the Old Testament law was actually designed to do, and how it comes through into the new covenantWhy holiness, from Leviticus 19 to 1 Peter 1, has always been about how well you loveHow to answer the skeptic who says the Bible is simply borrowed Mesopotamian mythologyGuest:Dr. Richard E.

Ancient Roots of Life Episode 48Many of the passages Christians know by heart sound very different when read from the Septuagint (LXX). In this episode JT and Josh continue their study through Scripture by examining: David's harsh prayers against his enemies Did David prophetically speak in the voice of Christ? Loving your enemies vs. God's judgment The Gospel of Nicodemus (Acts of Pilate) Genesis in the Septuagint The Firmament Paradise in Eden Noah and the clean animals Nimrod and the first kingdoms The Tower of Babel The Table of Nations The mystery of Genesis 6 Sons of God vs. Sethite theory Ancient geography Biblical chronology If you've never compared the Septuagint to modern Bible translations, you may be surprised by what you find.

In this episode, we explore Genesis 7 and the flood narrative in depth. Far from being a simple story of divine judgment, Genesis 7 presents a richly structured account that echoes the themes and patterns of Genesis 1, revealing God's purposes of renewal, recreation, and the restoration of order in a world overwhelmed by corruption. In this episode, Tyndale House scholars Dr Peter Williams, Dr Caleb Howard and Dr James Bejon discuss:How Genesis 7 intentionally parallels the creation account of Genesis 1 and what these literary echoes reveal about the flood narrative.Noah's righteousness, faithfulness, and obedience, and how his response to God's commands shapes the story.The similarities and differences between Genesis 7 and ancient Near Eastern flood traditions, including the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Atra-hasis Epic Caleb Howard's reflections on the life and scholarship of Alan Millard, as well as the question of literary unity in Genesis. If Genesis reads as a coherent and carefully crafted composition, why have some scholars argued that the flood narrative is derived from multiple sources? And how should we interpret ‘windows of heaven'? This is another insightful and encouraging episode from our Genesis video series.

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.

Greg Jenner is joined in ancient Greece by historian Dr Emily Hauser and comedian and actor Kiell Smith-Bynoe to learn about the epic poems the Iliad and Odyssey. Traditionally attributed to the poet Homer, these works tell parts of a legend that has fascinated us for centuries: the story of the Trojan War. Featuring a cast of unforgettable characters – Achilles, Odysseus, Paris, Helen, Hector and Agamemnon – the war between ancient Greece and Troy has inspired writers, artists and filmmakers for over a millennium. But the Iliad and Odyssey only recount episodes of this much bigger story. The Iliad, focusing on the hero Achilles, takes place in the closing stretches of the war. And the Odyssey tells the tale of Odysseus's perilous voyage home after the Greeks have triumphed. In this episode, we trace the origins of the poems in the 8th century BCE, looking at whether Homer really wrote them and how these originally oral tales came to be written down, before exploring the fantastical tales they tell. Along the way, we also look at whether or not the Trojan war really happened, how the ancient Greeks defined heroism, and examine the role of gods and monsters in the poems and the lives of their heroes.If you're a fan of fantastical myths and legends, heroes behaving badly, and ancient Greek culture, you'll love our episode on the Iliad and Odyssey.If you want more from Kiell Smith-Bynoe, listen to our episode on Viking explorer Leif Erikson.

From Greek mythology to Mesopotamian history, this episode dives deep into two of the most influential stories of the ancient world. Step into the world of Homer's Odyssey as we explore the legendary journey of Odysseus, the terrifying monsters he faced, and the ancient mysteries hidden within one of history's greatest epics. Then we investigate the alleged discovery of Gilgamesh's tomb in Iraq, the archaeological evidence surrounding it, and the conspiracy theories that have fueled speculation for decades.

Bryan Johnson says he cloned himself as a newborn. What actually happened is stranger and older than the headline. We break down the real science (Yamanaka factors, induced pluripotent stem cells) then follow the thread back through five hundred years of doppelganger folklore, Paracelsus and the alchemical homunculus, blood magic and the Bathory legend, The Island and Never Let Me Go, the Egyptian ka, the Ship of Theseus, and all the way back to Gilgamesh. He didn't invent this story. He just gave it a petri dish and a following.

The sermon delivered by Dr. Sam Long was part of a series titled “A Soggy Gospel” (41:53). His message focused on the biblical account of Noah and the Flood (42:56-44:26), contrasting it with ancient Near Eastern flood myths like the Epic of Gilgamesh. Key takeaways from his sermon included: The post Flood appeared first on Kalkaska Church of Christ.

In this episode of See See by Ceci, Dr Stephen Cave, philosopher of technology, intelligence and the human quest to outlive death, joins us in our Berlin studio. At heart, this episode turns on two questions most of us would sooner leave undisturbed: why do human beings insist on ranking one another, and why can we not make our peace with the fact that we die? Academic Director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence and Co-Director of the Institute for Technology and Humanity, both at the University of Cambridge, Dr Cave took his PhD in philosophy at Cambridge before spending the better part of a decade as a British Foreign Office diplomat. He is the author of Immortality: The Quest to Live Forever and How It Drives Civilization, a New Scientist Book of the Year, and, with the philosopher John Martin Fischer, Should You Choose to Live Forever?: A Debate. He is also co-editor of AI Narratives, Imagining AI and Feminist AI, all published by Oxford University Press. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr Cave traces the idea of "intelligence" across two and a half thousand years, from Aristotle's "natural slaves" to Francis Galton's invention of both eugenics and the IQ test, showing how so slender a concept came to serve as the perfect instrument for justifying patriarchy, colonialism and scientific racism. It is precisely this buried history, he argues, that explains the dread super-intelligent machines now inspire in us. The real peril, he suggests, lies not in what artificial intelligence might do to us, but in the deep-seated biases and failings already entrenched our societies, that is, in what we might be tempted to do to one another with it: in surveillance, in the automation of labour, and, above all, in the quiet erosion of the human relationships that hold a society together and lend our lives their meaning. He then turns to mortality: the four stories every civilisation tells itself to outwit death, why a genuine immortality would prove a curse rather than a gift, and how our very finitude is the thing that makes a life worth living. From the Epic of Gilgamesh to Borges's deathless troglodytes, from Dorian Gray to the laboratories where great fortunes are now spent in pursuit of longer life, he asks what such a life is truly worth if it is not also a life of meaning, and warns that "work, scroll, repeat" is no less hollow at two hundred than at eighty. He arrives, in the end, at something disarmingly simple: an answer that has rather less to do with intelligence than we might expect, and everything to do with finitude, and with what, and whom, a life is spent upon. With reflections from the philosopher and cognitive scientist Paul Thagard on whether a machine can ever truly care; from the posthumanist scholar N. Katherine Hayles on the human aura in the age of the deep fake and the promised revision of the Enlightenment; from the drummer, composer and Berklee professor Terri Lyne Carrington on music and the eternal present; from the historian Philip Matyszak on the Roman afterlife and the building of "moral muscles"; and from the cognitive neuropsychologist Alfonso Caramazza on the remarkable flexibility of the human mind. This is an episode about power and the stories it tells to justify itself; about the older stories we tell to cheat death; and about a quiet, radical proposition: that to be human is not to be the cleverest thing in the room, but to know that our days are numbered, and to spend them building and delighting in our bonds with one another.

Dennis Robinson is back, and he is not playing small. The Hive Head Studios creator has officially closed out a successful Kickstarter for Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey Chapters 1–4, the latest major step in his ambitious horror-mythology saga centered on Solomon, the world's first werewolf. The campaign ran from March 1 through April 1, 2026 and finished funded, giving readers another strong sign that Dennis is building something with real bite in the indie comics space. For those new to the series, Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey is not just a werewolf comic trying to coast on fangs and blood splatter. The book has been framed by Dennis and Hive Head Studios as a mix of horror, mythology, adventure, and history, following Solomon's long and painful journey after a desperate act transforms him into the first lycanthrope in human history. Solomon was born around 8,000 BC, and his story stretches through an alternate version of our world where folklore, monsters, magic, and gods are not just whispers in the dark—they are very real problems. That big-swing concept is a huge part of what makes the project stand out. Rather than staying stuck in one lane, the series keeps evolving. Chapter 2 brought in Arabic mythology, grief, PTSD, and magic. Chapter 3 expanded the universe with gods and cosmic horror, described by the official site as an alternate take on The Epic of Gilgamesh mixed with H.P. Lovecraft. Now, Chapter 4 sends Solomon into ancient Egypt, where he seeks out the gods themselves in hopes of finally finding a cure for his curse. Of course, this is Solomon we're talking about, so peace was never going to come easy. Instead, he runs into new weaknesses, new monsters, and more trials trying to tear him apart. And that's really the magic of Lycan. Dennis Robinson is using the werewolf myth not as a finish line, but as the front door to a much bigger story about pain, consequence, identity, survival, and the long shadow of history. Every chapter feels like it wants to ask a new question while still dragging Solomon deeper into the cost of what he has become. Dennis also brings a distinct creator energy to the table. According to Hive Head Studios, he's the creator/writer of the series, a founder connected to other geek-space projects, and a guy who clearly loves channeling horror, storytelling, and nerd passion into something personal and cinematic. That passion shows in Lycan's scope. This is not a safe little indie comic trying to whisper for attention. This is a full-throated monster odyssey trying to carve its name into the wall. So yeah, if you like your comics with mythology, monsters, blood, history, and enough ambition to make your pull list nervous, Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey should be on your radar. Dennis Robinson came back to the Comic Crusaders Podcast with a recently funded campaign, a growing universe, and plenty to talk about. And trust me, this wolf still has miles to go.

Paolo Brusasco"Ninive"Mito e realtàLa nave di Teseowww.lanavediteseo.euLa città di Ninive sfugge al tempo. È come un girone infernale e paradisiaco in cui vibrano le anime di ieri e di oggi, dei suoi scopritori, dei suoi re, delle sue regine, dei suoi distruttori e dei profeti biblici. Per Byron, gli Assiri piombano sul nemico “come il lupo sul gregge” e le loro coorti sono scintillanti di porpora e d'oro. I profeti la denigrano. Giona lancia invettive contro “quella grande città, nella quale vi sono più di centoventimila persone, che non sanno distinguere fra la mano destra e la sinistra”; mentre per il profeta Naum, Ninive è prostituzione, colpa e castigo. Nelle testimonianze dei Greci la città e sovrani come Sardanapalo appaiono empi e lascivi, in preda a vizio e perdizione. Ma Ninive, capitale d'Assiria, fu soltanto una città sanguinaria votata alla guerra e alla barbarie, spietata dominatrice di popoli come narrato dalla Bibbia e dai classici?Partendo dall'avvincente narrazione della sua scoperta a metà Ottocento, Ninive. Mito e realtà mette in evidenza come dagli annali dei sovrani assiri, così come dai meravigliosi rilievi istoriati che decoravano le loro splendide regge, si delinei una città fulcro di cultura e un centro religioso dedicato alla leggendaria dea Ištar. Ninive è fonte di scienza, di sapere astronomico-astrologico, di pratiche divinatorie e miti primigeni quali L'Epopea di Gilgamesh e il Diluvio universale, ripresi nella tradizione biblica.Paolo Brusasco racconta l'affascinante storia della più grande città del suo tempo che, da villaggio neolitico sulle sponde del Tigri nel nord dell'attuale Iraq, si trasformò con Sennacherib nella capitale del primo impero universale, per diventare con Assurbanipal e la sua celebre biblioteca il faro culturale del mondo antico.Paolo Brusasco è docente di Archeologia e storia dell'arte dell'Asia occidentale e del Mediterraneo orientale antichi all'Università di Genova. Già PhD e Research Fellow dell'Università di Cambridge (UK), ha effettuato scavi archeologici nel Mediterraneo, in Siria e Iraq, e attualmente dirige la Missione Assiria dell'Università di Genova (MAUGE) nel Kurdistan iracheno. È stato inoltre intervistato dal “New York Times” sulla tutela dell'Iraq Museum di Baghdad. Ha al suo attivo numerose pubblicazioni scientifiche e monografie tra cui La Mesopotamia prima dell'Islam (2008), Babilonia. All'origine del mito (2012) e Tesori rubati (2013). Per La Nave di Teseo ha pubblicato Dentro la devastazione (2018) che ha ricevuto il premio Montale Fuori di Casa 2018.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Ilia Delio continues her conversation with Robert Geraci on the ethical future of technology, the possibility of a global mind, and the stories we need to tell if civilization is to flourish. Together, they ask how AI might help us build shared spaces of learning, dialogue, and human connection rather than deepen division, surveillance, and algorithmic isolation.Ilia imagines noospheric classrooms and a global heart, where technology becomes a medium for shared values across cultures, religions, and planetary communities. Geraci reflects on the need for humility, public goods, meaningful work, and stories that draw us toward a better future rather than trap us in conflict, wealth, and power.Later in the episode, Geraci discusses his book Future-Proofing Humanity, exploring existential risk, technological culture, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the importance of civilization as an unfinished project. Rather than fearing technology itself, Ilia and Robert invite us to ask what kind of humanity our technologies are calling us to become.ABOUT ROBERT GERACIRobert M Geraci is the Knight Distinguished Chair for the Study of Religion & Culture at Knox College. His research explores religion, science and technology in the contemporary world. He is the author of Apocalyptic AI: Visions of Heaven in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality (Oxford 2010), Virtually Sacred: Myths and Meaning in World of Warcraft and Second Life (Oxford 2014), Temples of Modernity: Nationalism, Hinduism, and Transhumanism in South Indian Science (Lexington 2018), Futures of Artificial Intelligence: Perspectives from India and the U.S. (Oxford 2022), and Futureproofing Humanity: Existential Risk and the Technomyths of Human Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Our Future among the Stars (self 2026).

Mesopotamia and the Making of the Modern World | The Ancient Civilization That Still Shapes Your LifeMesopotamia changed the world.Many of the systems you use every day began thousands of years ago between the Tigris and Euphrates.Assyriologist Selina Winsome explains why Mesopotamia was far more than the "cradle of civilization." Discover how cuneiform writing, libraries, mathematics, literature, timekeeping, and the Epic of Gilgamesh helped shape the modern world. If you're interested in ancient history, archaeology, ancient literature, or the origins of human civilization, this episode reveals why Mesopotamia remains one of history's most influential cultures.

An examination of the deepest level of the Ancient Mesopotamia iceberg, commonly labeled "Theories and Speculative Ideas." The video reviews each claim against primary sources from Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria, including cuneiform tablets, excavation reports, and geological data, to demonstrate how historical method evaluates extraordinary claims.Coverage includes: Ancient Astronauts and the Annunaki: the origin of the theory in Zecharia Sitchin, what the Akkadian term actually means in Mesopotamian religion, and the evidential standards for alien contact claims. Great Flood myths: comparison of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Genesis, and other flood traditions with evidence for Persian Gulf and Black Sea inundations. Gilgamesh's tomb discovered in 2003: the Uruk excavation, the Iraq War interruption, and why no inscription links the tomb to the historical king. Hanging Gardens location: the case for Nineveh and Dur-Sharrukin, Archimedes screw technology by 700 BC, and why Babylon remains plausible. Nimrud Lens and Saturn's rings: what the 3x quartz lens can and cannot do, and the absence of telescopic astronomy in Assyrian records. Annunaki gold-mining slaves: the actual Mesopotamian creation motive of humans as laborers for the gods versus modern reinterpretations. Abraham from Ur: the biblical text, the Amorite migrations circa 2000 BCE, and the northern vs southern Ur debate. Sumerian King List long reigns: hundreds of thousands of years, symbolic numbers, and attempts at dynastic or calendrical readings. Sumerian origins: language isolate status, the Persian Gulf marsh hypothesis, and pre-flood settlement theories. Nibiru and the 12th planet: claims of hidden planets in tablets and the current state of translation work. 4.2 kiloyear event: climate data and its role in the fall of the Akkadian Empire alongside Gutian pressure. Structures beneath Eridu: the E-Abzu temple's 18 rebuild phases and what lies under ziggurat foundations. Linguistic fringe theories: proposed links between Sumerian and Turkic, Hungarian, Elamite, and Dravidian. Meluhha trade network: Indus Valley contacts, Neo-Assyrian memory loss, and claims of an Ethiopia-to-India empire. Nuclear war dark ages: why nuclear events leave unmistakable geological signaturesSumerian copper from Lake Michigan: sourcing from Cyprus and Iran versus New World contact hypotheses. Sacred marriage as genetic experiment: Ishtar priestess rituals and kingship legitimation. Ur III bala system as socialism: command economy, ration payments, and modern ideological projections. King List as doomsday calendar, Nam-Shub virus, 676 BC simulation, and Enki vs Enlil secret societies: modern fiction, numerology, and conspiracy narrativesThe purpose is not to ridicule speculation, but to show what counts as evidence in early Mesopotamian studies, where the limits of knowledge currently lie, and what kind of discovery would be required to reopen closed questions.Keywords: ancient Mesopotamia, Sumerian history, Akkadian Empire, Babylon, Assyria, Annunaki explained, ancient aliens debunked, Sumerian King List, Gilgamesh tomb 2003, Nibiru 12th planet, Hanging Gardens Nineveh, Nimrud lens, flood myth, 4.2 kiloyear event, Mesopotamia iceberg

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.

PATREONBefore the Bible, before Genesis, before any written scripture as we know it — there was the flood. Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive into one of the oldest, most widespread, and most hotly debated stories in human history: Noah's Ark.Did a catastrophic flood actually destroy an ancient civilization? The evidence is hard to ignore. 217 distinct cultures across six continents — from the ancient Sumerians to the Aztecs to Aboriginal Australians — all independently carry a version of the same story: a great flood, a righteous man, a massive boat, and a world reborn. That's not a coincidence. That's a memory.In Part 1, the guys trace the flood narrative from its oldest known origins in ancient Mesopotamia — including the Sumerian tale of Ziusudra, the Akkadian story of Atrahasis, and the Epic of Gilgamesh — and show how these accounts predate the Biblical story of Noah by centuries, sharing nearly identical details beat for beat. They break down the Genesis account in full: the dimensions of the ark (spoiler: it's the size of a football field and a half), the 150 days on water, the raven, the dove, and the olive branch. They also dig into what the Bible actually says about where the ark landed — and why "the Mountains of Ararat" is far more complicated than you've been told.Then they get into the physical search: a French explorer who pulled hand-worked wood from a glacier 13,000 feet up a Turkish mountain, an Apollo 15 astronaut who said finding Noah's Ark was harder than walking on the moon, and the boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey that researchers are actively scanning with ground-penetrating radar right now.Did a regional catastrophe get retold across thousands of years and hundreds of cultures into the story of one man and one boat? Or is there something more to it? Part 2 drops next week.Follow us on Patreon at patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast for bonus content and to join the Discord.

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.

Welcome to Day 2881 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – The Bible as a Polemic: Confronting the Powers that Rebelled Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2881 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2881 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled:  The Bible as a Polemic: Confronting the Powers that Rebelled To modern readers shaped by pluralism and academic detachment, the confrontational tone of the Bible may seem abrasive. But this response overlooks what the Bible truly is. It is not a disinterested theological reflection. It is a weapon. It is a series of books forged in the heart of a spiritual and historical rebellion. Its message was not formed in a vacuum but in the aftermath of Babel and the divine treason of the bene elohim who had been placed over the nations. Understanding the polemical nature of the Bible begins by understanding the world it was written to confront. The first segment is: What Is a Polemic? And Why the ANE Was Full of Them A polemic is a targeted argument or critique meant to expose, undermine, or discredit a rival idea, practice, or system. Unlike a simple disagreement or neutral description, a polemic is written to confront. It deliberately challenges an existing claim and seeks to replace it. In the ancient world, polemics were often theological, political, and cultural all at once. The gods, kings, and cities of rival nations were not treated as irrelevant. They were treated as threats that had to be addressed. In the context of the Ancient Near East, polemics were deeply embedded in the stories nations told about themselves. Every origin story, temple hymn, or divine genealogy was not just a description of how things came to be. It was a claim of legitimacy. To say your god created the world or defeated the sea monster or chose your king was to declare supremacy over other peoples and their gods. It was to say, “Our story is the true one. Yours is a counterfeit.” For example, when Babylon claimed that Marduk created the world by killing the goddess Tiamat, it was not just promoting cosmology. It was justifying Babylon's imperial authority as the city of the supreme god. When Egypt said that Ma'at held the universe together through the Pharaoh's divine rulership, it was declaring that Egyptian order was the divine ideal, and everyone else lived in chaos. In such a world, writing something like Genesis 1 was not a quiet religious reflection. It was a direct challenge to every claim made by Egypt, Babylon, and Canaan. It was a polemic. And in the Bible, this polemical instinct is not occasional. It is foundational. Israel's Scriptures were not meant to fit within the theological frameworks of other nations. They were meant to shatter them. The second segment is: Babel and the Reordering of the World Genesis 11 describes a human rebellion that goes far deeper than building a tower. At Babel, humanity attempted to unify under its own authority and defy Yahweh's mandate to fill the earth. But the judgment that followed did more than scatter languages. According to Deuteronomy 32, verses eight and nine, when Yahweh divided the nations, He appointed the bene elohim, divine sons of God, to oversee them. Only Israel would remain His direct possession. The nations were not abandoned without guidance. But over time, the spiritual beings given authority over them failed in their stewardship. They began to crave worship and corrupted the justice they were meant to uphold. Psalm 82 records Yahweh standing in judgment over these divine rulers, declaring that they would fall like mortals. This cosmic judgment sets the stage for the mission of Israel and the tone of Scripture itself. The third segment is: Israel: The Counter-Nation Unlike the nations that inherited rebellious rulers, Israel was created from scratch. Yahweh did not reform an existing people. He called Abram from among the disinherited nations and made a new people who would be His portion. Israel was not simply chosen for privilege but created for purpose. As stated in Exodus 19 verse six, they were to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This priestly identity means Israel's role was inherently polemical. Their laws, festivals, temples, and scriptures were not private religious expressions. They were public declarations that the gods of the nations were false, the powers behind them were corrupt, and that Yahweh alone was Most High over all the earth. The Bible, as the written witness of Israel's calling, reflects this purpose. The Fourth Segment is: Polemics in the Biblical Texts The polemical nature of the Bible is woven deeply into its stories, laws, songs, and prophecies. These are not culturally isolated documents. They are intentional confrontations with the dominant worldviews shaped by the fallen gods of the nations. The Fifth segment is: Creation and the Flood Genesis one is not merely an account of beginnings. It is a direct response to Mesopotamian creation myths such as Enuma Elish, which portray creation as the result of divine violence and chaos. In contrast, the biblical God creates through speech, with order and intention. There is no struggle, no divine bloodshed, no pantheon. It is a declaration that the gods of Babylon are not creators but pretenders. Likewise, the flood account in Genesis six through nine subverts the flood stories of the surrounding cultures. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods send the flood in terror and regret it. In the Bible, the flood is just, purposeful, and moral. It is a surgical judgment on a world corrupted by human violence and divine rebellion, not the panicked act of unstable deities. The sixth segment is: Conquest and the Defeat of the Gods When Israel enters the land of Canaan, the conquest is not simply a political campaign. It is a cosmic battle against the corrupted spiritual rulers of the land. The defeat of Pharaoh in Egypt is explicitly described as Yahweh executing judgment on the gods of Egypt. The plagues are not random punishments but targeted humiliations of Egypt's divine protectors. Jericho's fall, the silencing of Baal on Mount Carmel, the defeat of Dagon before the Ark in 1 Samuel 5, and the crushing of Leviathan imagery in the Psalms all follow the same pattern. The text is not just reporting history. It is declaring war on the false gods and the unseen rulers who manipulated the nations into darkness. The seventh Segment is: Psalms and Prophets as Weapons The Psalms, often viewed only as worship poetry, are filled with divine council imagery and subversion of Canaanite theology. Psalm 29, for instance, uses storm language that sounds like a Baal hymn but places Yahweh as the one who rides the storm and subdues the waters. In Ugaritic myth, Baal defeats Yam to earn his throne. In the Bible, Yahweh sits enthroned above the flood before it ever lifts its head. The prophets likewise deliver blistering critiques of the nations and their gods. Isaiah 19 declares judgment not just on Egypt but on its idols, priests, and necromancers. Ezekiel 28 mocks the divine claims of the Prince of Tyre, unmasking him as a fallen being in Eden. These are not veiled jabs. They are open condemnations of spiritual rebellion embedded in political empires. The Eighth segment is: The New Testament: The War Reaches Its Climax By the time of Christ, the powers of the nations had not been dethroned. The world remained under their sway. Jesus refers to Satan as the ruler of this world and frames His ministry as a battle to bind the strong man and plunder his house. Every healing, exorcism, and storm-calming miracle is a polemic in action. Jesus is not just showing compassion. He is confronting the gods. The cross itself is the ultimate polemic. It appears to be a defeat but is actually a triumph. As Paul writes in Colossians 2:15, Christ disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame. This is courtroom and battlefield language. The spiritual powers that once ruled unchallenged were publicly exposed as weak, condemned, and temporary. The apostles carry this mission forward. Paul sees the preaching of the gospel as a cosmic declaration to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. The church is not merely a new religious community. It is the living proof that

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!This episode of Far Out With Faust features a riveting, deep-dive conversation into the global cover-up of non-human intelligence, ancient mistranslations, and paleo-contact with incredible author and researcher Paul Anthony Wallis. Broadcasting from opposite ends of the planet, Faust and Paul dissect what is officially known as the "Legacy Program"—covert units operating within aerospace corporations to reverse-engineer craft and materials retrieved from UAP crashes.Paul sheds light on the internal push-and-pull within the 18 separate agencies of the military-intelligence community. He provides a compelling, nuanced take on why the true policy of non-disclosure isn't actually being dictated by the shadow government, but by our cosmic visitors themselves until humanity can fully master the physics of space-time manipulation.Leaving no stone unturned, they travel from modern geopolitical secrecy back through deep ancestral history. Paul shares his groundbreaking work decoding the Hebrew Scriptures, revealing how the insertion of the word "God" into the Greek translation between 280 and 100 BCE systematically erased historic accounts of plural, powerful, non-human beings governing early human colonies. From the real political coup hidden in the book of Samuel to a 4,000-year-old body uncovered beneath an Irish pub, this conversation connects the deep past directly to the modern 21st-century disclosure movement.In this episode:* The Legacy Program Exposed: How military intelligence subcontracts UAP reverse-engineering to specific private aerospace giants. * The Role of the Microbiologist: Why mainstream scientists like Dr. Garry Nolan are brought in to analyze the line where technology meets biology. * The Space-Time Bubble: Why anti-gravity success isn't enough, and what it will take for humanity to create a stable, interstellar wormhole. * The Haim Eshed Testimony: What the 28-year chief of Israel's space security confirmed about ongoing human and non-human collaborations. * The Petrochemical Cover-Up: Why zero-point and free energy disclosure threatens corporate fortunes and the global financial hierarchy more than it threatens religion. * The Vatican and ET Life: The official, surprisingly progressive statements issued under Pope Benedict XVI regarding our brother and sister aliens. * The Mistranslation of Yahweh: How ancient social wisdom and geopolitics were entirely buried the moment historical texts were turned into theological "God stories". * The Queen Elizabeth II Exemptions: A shocking look at real constitutional power and how the late monarch blocked dozens of laws to protect her personal properties. * Ancient WMDs in Iraq: The hidden, archeological motivations behind the 2003 invasion and the mysterious disappearance of the Gilgamesh tomb discovery. * Trans-Medium Anomalies: Connecting ancient Babylonian texts describing underwater visitor bases with the modern tracker data of US Naval pilots. This isn't just a discussion about speculative conspiracy. It is a historical and semantic roadmap showing that our ancestors were openly negotiating a populated cosmos—and it's high time we remember how to do the same.Connect with Paul Anthony Wallis* Website: https://paulanthonywallis.com * Tours: https://ancientknowledgetours.com * Academy: https://ancientknowledgeacademy.com * YouTube: The Paul Wallis Channel & The Fifth Kind * Books: Escaping from Eden, The Scars of Eden, Echoes of Eden, The Eden Conspiracy, The Invasion of Eden, The Eden Enigma, and The Dragons of Eden (Coming July 2026!) Join Us On PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple Podcasts* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIf* Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on SOCIAL* https://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/* https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/* https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfaust* https://www.facebook.com/faustchecho/* https://x.com/faustchechoQUESTION THE ANSWERS™#Extraterrestrials #AncientHistory #Disclosurewe'd love to hear from you

Human civilization has been trying to defeat death forever. For the first time, we may be beginning to succeed. In labs from California to Cambridge, the biology of aging is being treated as an engineering problem, and the pace of progress is no longer science fiction. This episode traces the long human war against mortality, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to today's life extension science, and asks the deeper question: what happens to a civilization built on the assumption that we die… if we stop dying?

Is the story of Noah's flood just another ancient myth, borrowed from earlier pagan texts, or a record of a real historical catastrophe? In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity podcast, J. Warner Wallace applies his investigative experience as a cold-case homicide detective to examine the Genesis flood account. He compares it with stories like Atrahasis and the Epic of Gilgamesh, traces worldwide flood traditions, and asks whether all these ancient memories point back to a single, real event. Along the way, he explores questions about miracles, philosophical naturalism, geology, the scope of the flood (global or regional), the ark's feasibility, and the moral difference between the biblical God and the capricious gods of other ancient cultures.
