Podcasts about Tigris

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.

On today's episode, Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid sheds light on the history of Ancient Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, gave rise to writing, literature, astronomy, and law - shaping human history in ways that still resonate today. Drawing on her new book Between Two Rivers, Al-Rashid brings to life the stories of ordinary people from thousands of years ago: working mothers, enslaved individuals seeking freedom, and even a princess who may have founded the first museum. In conversation with archeologist and author Rebecca Wragg Sykes, Al-Rashid discusses the earliest written records, from economic tallies to personal letters, and explores how Mesopotamians grappled with timeless human concerns - love, illness, ambition, and the quest for knowledge. Why does Mesopotamia often remain in the shadow of Egypt and Greece? And what can we learn from this ancient civilization today? Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford's Wolfson College, where she specialises in the languages and history of ancient Mesopotamia. She has written for academic and popular journals, including History Today, on topics as diverse as mental illness in ancient Mesopotamia to Late Assyrian scholarly networks.

“If a person is entrusted to care for a building and decides to tear it down, there's a moral imperative to disclose whether there are people inside. There are 20.6 million people and 566,000 children living inside PEPFAR.” PEPFAR is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. And as of March 25, 2025, its congressional reauthorization has expired. For more than two decades, its website states, “the U.S. government has invested over $110 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history—saving 26 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and accelerating progress toward controlling the global HIV/AIDS pandemic in more than 50 countries.” Now, some estimate that over 20 million people will lose access to antiretroviral drugs, which may result in up to 1,650,000 deaths over the coming year. In this episode, Mark Labberton speaks with Mindy Belz, an award-winning journalist and longtime war correspondent, to explore the urgent moral and humanitarian implications of PEPFAR's uncertain future. Drawing on Belz's deep reporting experience in conflict zones and her time covering global health efforts, their conversation traces the remarkable legacy of the U.S. government's investment in HIV/AIDS relief, the stakes of congressional inaction, and the broader questions this crisis raises about American moral leadership, Christian charity, and global responsibility. Together they discuss: Mindy Belz's background as a journalist and war correspondent The significance of PEPFAR in the global battle against HIV/AIDS The pivotal leadership role the U.S. government has played in supporting AIDS relief efforts for the past two decades The devastating impact that losing PEPFAR would have on human life around the world, particularly in Africa And, perspectives on charity, moral conscience, and faith in American Christianity Helpful Links mindybelz.com Mindy's Article about PEPFAR: “1,650,000: How killing a global program to fight HIV/AIDS kills”: “PEPFAR contracts ended under Trump mean 20 million people on treatment now face HIV disease again. Without more reinstatements that could lead to a death toll of 1.6 million in a year's time.” About PEPFAR, the “President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief”: Through PEPFAR, the U.S. government has invested over $110 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history – saving 26 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and accelerating progress toward controlling the global HIV/AIDS pandemic in more than 50 countries.

Show Notes Mindy Belz: A Journalist in the Trenches Mindy Belz and her career at World Magazine Mindy's coverage of the AIDS pandemic in East Africa and the war in Sudan The rise of Islamic extremism, Al-Quaeda, and crossing the Tigris into Iraq Her early experiences in journalism and what drew her to war reporting How she came to report from the Middle East and other conflict zones The challenges Mindy faced as a woman journalist “We've all experienced some of the conflict in the world. We've all experienced some terrorism and violence … this is a part of life in a broken and fallen world, and so learning from women, from men, from children incredible resilience in the face of terrible breakdowns is that I just consider a real privilege of my work.” Working with a Sudanese NGO—finding starving people, barely surviving “For Americans, we always get to walk away. I'm really aware in whatever hard situation I'm in, there's little voice at the back of my brain that's saying, ‘Don't forget you get to go home.'” What is PEPFAR? “ President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief,” developed by George W. Bush in 2003 Trendsetting program to battle HIV/AIDS Anti-viral drug program to prevent the spread (but not cure) the disease “We still don't have a real cure for HIV.” “You have 20 million people who are currently taking antiretroviral drugs that are funded under PEPFAR and most of those people just suddenly could not have access to their medicine and, and that means that we are watching even now the disease grow.” “The Trump administration has basically shuttered the program and they have done so without the oversight of Congress.” Nicholas Kristof's NYT March 15 article estimates that 1.6 million people could die over the next year. Link: “Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn't True.” “The scale of the devastation is mind-bending.” What can we do? “Congress is not exercising its oversight responsibilities right now.” “If a person is entrusted to care for a building and decides to tear it down, there's a moral imperative to disclose whether there are people inside. There are 20.6 million people and 566,000 children living inside PEPFAR.” What is the role of our government? “I've also seen PEPFAR working and working incredibly. I routinely and in lifesaving ways.” Understanding moral conscience “We are needing to call our nation not to a Christian identity, which I think is the, the false attempt of Christian nationalism, but to a moral identity. That people of faith, little faith, no faith, other faiths, can enter into and share. And I think some element of that has been operational in the United States for a very long time. And now all of that is being dismantled and being labeled, as you say, by a really cheap word like charity, as though there's no wider frame than simply compassionate sentimentality, as opposed to something that's really taking the moral realities of the world and all of their urgency seriously. And not pretending that we need to be (as we've sometimes tried to be as a nation) the healer of the nations, but to say that we should actually be a force for taking these issues with great national seriousness, and not just repudiating it because it's not inside the boundaries of our own country.” “Use the influence and the economic force of the United States to fund local programs.” “ We have the resources to go and make a difference in this situation. And by doing that we set an example for others to do it.” “We  have adopted an attitude of scarcity.” The impact and efficacy of antiretroviral drugs to improve the lives of people with HIV/AIDS—”To suddenly cut them off is an act of cruelty.” “This is a system, not just medication.” “If we're suddenly saving $5 billion a year, what is that going to be used for?” ”If these things are all happening by executive decision, and Congress does not have a meaningful role, then essentially the people are cut out of the conversation.” “People who become sicker with HIV will become more likely to have tuberculosis, more likely to be suffering from other diseases than side effects of the virus itself.” Where Is God in All of This? “It's a dangerous world. Go anyway.” “We have to trust that the hand of God is there and that it will meet us in the midst of those hard situations.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In dieser Folge widmen sich Michi und Moritz einem spannenden Kapitel der altorientalischen Geschichte: den Amoritern und ihrem bekanntesten Vertreter, König Hammurapi. Ursprünglich als Nomadenvolk im Gebiet zwischen Euphrat und Tigris unterwegs, stiegen die Amoriter zur dominierenden Macht in Mesopotamien auf. Besonders unter Hammurapi erreichten sie ihren Höhepunkt und schufen das erste große babylonische Reich. Was machte die Amoriter so erfolgreich? Und warum ist Hammurapis Gesetzeswerk bis heute legendär? Michi und Moritz gehen diesen Fragen auf den Grund und beleuchten den Aufstieg der Amoriter von der Steppe zur Stadt.

Daniel's Terrifying Vision of a Man10 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. 3 I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks. 4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river (that is, the Tigris) 5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. 7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves. 8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength. 9 Then I heard the sound of his words, and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground. 10 And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. 13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, 14 and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.” 15 When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was mute. 16 And behold, one in the likeness of the children of man touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength. 17 How can my lord's servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.” 18 Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, “O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.

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.

Slaget vid Gaugamela är ett av de största och mest intressanta slagen under antiken. I den mån vi har tillförlitliga källor av slaget visar Alexander upp en iskyla och ett taktiskt sinne som var oöverträffat. Men det var ingalunda givet att Alexanders taktik skulle lyckas. Med numerärt underläge var hans agerande återigen ett vågspel med mycket små marginaler.Efter att Alexander den Store skördat vinsterna efter sin seger vid Issos 331 fvt vände han söderut mot Egypten. Målet var att stänga Levantens hamnar för den persiska flottan, fylla på förråden och sen återuppta jakten efter Dareios III som flytt från Issos och sedean slutgiltigt förgöra det persiska imperiet.I detta avsnitt fortsätter idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt berättelsen om Alexander den stores persiska fälttåg fram till slaget vid Gaugamela och intagandet av Babylon.Första stoppet blev Tyros, en rik handelsstad i dagens Libanon, och en nyckelstad i handeln mellan öst och väst. Här möttes han av hårt motstånd av stadens styresmän, och det skulle ta sju månader innan belägringen slutgiltigt lyckades. Det blev en av de kanske märkligaste och mest mytomspunna belägringarna i antikens historia. Under belägringen visade Alexanders armé upp sin ingenjörsmässiga uppfinningsrikedom, men även Alexanders förmåga att driva på sina trupper i svåra lägen. Vändningen kom när delar av den persiska flottan vände sig mot Dareios III och kunde hjälpa Alexander under belägringen.Efter Tyros väntade motstånd i Gaza och ännu en belägring, men motståndet skulle visa sig svagare här. Marschen gick vidare till Egypten. Här blev Alexander vänligt mottagen och skulle vänta i nästan ett år hinnan han gick vidare. Satrapen i Egypten hade sedan länge legat i tvist med den persiska kungen och därav kunde Alexander överta makten utan konflikt. Detta var första och sista gången Alexander gick in i Egypten, men hans arv skulle bli beständigt i form av grundandet av Alexandria. Alexandria skulle bli medelhavsområdets absolut främsta kulturella centrum under århundraden efter hans död.Under sin tid i Egypten mottog Alexander flera fredspropåer från en alltmer desperat Dareios, men Alexander vägrade att förhandla. I juli 332 f.v.t. lyfte Alexanders armé återigen mot Tyros för att sedan vända mot mellanöstern och Irak i sökandet efter ett avgörande. Efter övergången vid Eufrat möttes persiska och makedoniska truppstyrkor, men det blev först på andra sidan Tigris, straxt nordväst om Arbela (dagens Erbil i Irak), som de två kungarna slutgiltig skulle mötas. Vid byn Gaugamela ställde Dareios upp sin här och inväntade Alexander.Slaget vid Gaugamela är idag inskrivet i historieböckerna som ett av de största och mest intressanta slagen under antiken. I den mån vi har tillförlitliga källor av slaget visar Alexander upp en iskyla och ett taktiskt sinne som var oöverträffat. Men det var ingalunda givet att Alexanders taktik skulle lyckas. Med numerärt underläge var hans agerande återigen ett vågspel med mycket små marginaler.Lyssna också på Alexander den store och slaget vid IssusBild: Slaget vid Gaugamela, Jan Brueghel den äldre, 1602 Hosted on Acast.

«Water remembers. It is humans who forget.»En vanndråpe finner veien fra oldtidens Mesopotamia til en gategutt i London på 1840-tallet, så videre til en yazidisk familie i dagens Irak. Tre personers liv og skjebner bindes sammen gjennom to elver – Themsen og Tigris – og vannet som renner gjennom dem.I romanen Det er elver på himmelen (til norsk ved Bente Klinge) vever Elif Shafak sammen svunne riker, kolonitidens plyndringer, moderne konflikter og læren om vannets kretsløp, i en handling som strekker seg fra oldtiden og frem til dagens konflikter i Midtøsten. Med spenning, humor og et dyptloddende språk, er Det er elver på himmelen en bok som begeistrer og fascinerer, og har blitt hyllet av forfattere som blant annet Ian McEwan, Arundhati Roy og Mary Beard.Tyrkisk-britiske Elif Shafak er en av verdens fremste forfattere av historiske romaner. Gjennom sine fjorten romaner på tyrkisk og engelsk, har hun utforsket kulturelle spenninger og sosioøkonomiske ulikheter mellom øst og vest. Hun har i tillegg vært en aktiv stemme i kampen for ytringsfrihet og kvinners rettigheter, en samfunnsaktivisme som preger både skjønnlitteraturen og sakprosaen hennes. Hun bor i selvvalgt eksil i London, etter stadige rettslige trusler i Tyrkia mot virket hennes som forfatter.På Litteraturhuset møtte Shafak journalist og forfatter Marte Spurkland til en samtale om tid, aktivisme og vannets hukommelse.Samtalen er på engelsk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

«Water remembers. It is humans who forget.»A droplet of water finds its way from ancient Mesopotamia to a street urchin in 1840's London and on to a Yazidi family in present day Iraq. Three people's lives and destinies are connected by two rivers – the Thames and the Tigris – and the water which flows through them.In the novel There Are Rivers in the Sky, Elif Shafak weaves together lost empires, colonial plunder, modern conflicts, and the study of water in a plot stretching from ancient time to the present. With thrill, humour and evocative language, There Are Rivers in the Sky is both enthralling and fascinating, and has been lauded by authors such as Ian McEwan, Arundhati Roy and Mary Beard.Turkish-British Elif Shafak is one of the world's foremost writers of historical fiction. Through her fourteen novels, she has explored cultural tensions and socioeconomic inequalities between East and West in historical and contemporary settings. She has also been an active champion of the freedom of speech and of human rights, particularly women's rights, an activism evident in both her fiction and non-fiction. She lives in London in self-imposed exile, after past and continuing threats in Turkey against her work as an author.At the House of Literature, Shafak meets author and journalist Marte Spurkland for a conversation on time, cultural conflicts, and the memory of water.

The website "نانوشتنی – شاید اینجا دجلۀ نیکی‌های من* باشد" ("Ununwritable - Maybe this is the Tigris of my goodness") explores the interplay between writing, spirituality, and relationships through various posts and reflections.Writing:The central theme of the site revolves around the concept of "نانوشتنی" (www.ununwritable.name), questioningthe act of writing itself. The author reflects on "why write the ununwritable?". This suggests an exploration of the limits of language and the inadequacy of words to express certain experiences or truths.The author uses the metaphor of writing as "pouring a hidden pitcher" while others see it as merely writing in a book. This illustrates the author's unique intention behind their writing, suggesting it's a personal and perhaps spiritual act rather than a simple act of communication.There's also an idea ofwriting as a means to organize thoughts.Spirituality:The site delves into various aspects of spirituality, including the nature of God, the importance of silence, and the concept of "doing nothing" as a form of contemplation. The author discusses their past atheism and their evolving views on spirituality and religion.The website explores ideas ofresponsibility, not just for oneself, but also how it relates to God.The idea of "not being attached" is presented as a key part of a spiritual journey. This concept is linked to yoga and is described as the essence of life's journey, from birth to death.The author describes God as the "blackness of the sky" in which stars shine, emphasizing the mystery and vastness of the divine.The site explores the idea offaith as a solution to humanity's problems. It suggests that a genuine sense of spirituality can help alleviate war, poverty, and depression.There's a connection betweenspirituality and mindfulness, with the author mentioning the practice of meditation as a means to creativity and deep understanding.Relationships:The website acknowledges the role of people in one's life, including friends, family, spouses, and colleagues. It suggests these relationships are part of one's life journey.Marriage is discussed from different angles, acknowledging it can lead to failure but also to finding true love and unity. The author even refers to marriage as an "eight-headed dragon," exploring the many challenges it can present.The site critiques theinstrumental nature of modern relationships, contrasting it with more traditional societies.There is an exploration ofhow to improve relationships with others, suggesting the need to understand one's own responsibilities first.There's also an exploration of the complexity ofrelationships with God, as the author reflects on their responsibility and God's own responsibilities in their life. The author explores the idea of communication with God, and the methods of prayer.In summary, "نانوشتنی" uses writing as a tool to explore deeper spiritual truths and to reflect on the nature of human relationships, often questioning traditional approaches and offering unique insights into life's complexities. The act of writing itself is part of the spiritual journey explored on the site.

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. Our God is a God of abundance and generosity. This is seen in who He is and in all that He does. Just consider something as common as the earth God created, the ground we all walk on. It's made of dirt and rock. It's so cheap and mundane we trample it underfoot without thought. It's just “dirt”! Yet, that dirt is so rich and diverse in its elements that we can dig into it and draw out materials to produce stunning works of art and powerful supercomputers. We can fashion its elements into cars and smartphones. We can use it to construct buildings so tall they literally reach the clouds. We can split the atoms of some of these elements to create power for modern civilization. We can use other elements to make spaceships that explore the outer reaches of our solar system. This inherent abundance is why in Genesis, God commanded humans to “cultivate” the earth (Genesis 2). The word cultivate implies a generous potential hidden in the dirt under our feet—that God created the earth in such a way it can be developed and fashioned into something greater than it is. In this we see we need not have a scarcity mindset with the resources God has given to us. We can have a generosity abundance mindset, giving our stuff away to the glory of God, “cultivating” it, knowing God is able to return it multiplied to meet our every need. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: ‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. You show steadfast love to thousands, but you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord of hosts, great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.'”~Jeremiah 32:16-19 (ESV) “Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.”~Genesis 2:10-15

A 2025-ös évet, hagyományszerűen, inverz vakfolttal nyitjuk meg, vagyis olyan filmekkel, amelyek nemhogy nem pótolnivalóink, hanem többször is láttuk őket, mint illene. Ezúttal két távol-keleti filmmel készültünk, illeszkedve az évadunk tematikájához, amik az ezredforduló környékén készültek: Ang Lee Tigris és sárkány (2000) című alkotását, illetve Zhang Yimou Hős (2002) című filmjét választottuk. A két műről egy-egy órában beszélünk. Milyen volt a két film fogadtatása a nemzetközi közönség előtt? Mitől látványosak és mennyire költőiek a harcművészeti jelenetek, és ezek hogyan viszonyulnak a cselekményhez és a drámához?  Milyen különbségeket lehet felfedezni Zhang Yimou és Ang Lee hozzáállásában az akciójelenetekhez? Kiknek köszönhetők a pazar koreográfiák? Beszélünk arról is, mennyire máshogyan ábrázolák a szerelmet, és mennyire más a léptéke a két filmnek. Különböző értelmezéseket nyújtunk a Tigris és sárkány fináléjára, és a Hős kalligráfia-metaforájára is. Ezekről és még sok másról beszélgetünk az adásban, tartsatok velünk!

Explore the pivotal role of agriculture in shaping human history in our latest episode. Journey back to the ancient Near East, where the Fertile Crescent is celebrated as the birthplace of agriculture. Discover how the domestication of plants and animals in regions like Mesopotamia and the Levant led to the first large-scale cities and empires. This cradle of civilization, enriched by fertile soil and rivers like the Euphrates and Tigris, witnessed innovations such as artificial irrigation, crop rotation, and the use of plows, which transformed semi-nomadic groups into permanent agricultural societies. Delve into how agriculture's surplus production was essential for the emergence of urban centers and complex societies. In Mesopotamia, cereal grains became a cornerstone for taxation, supporting centralized governments and enabling trade and urbanization. The podcast underscores how agriculture not only sustained growing populations but also laid the foundation for specialized trades and empires, ultimately fueling human progress and civilization's advancement across the globe. Written and read by Jan van der Crabben. Original article: https://www.worldhistory.org/article/9/agriculture-in-the-fertile-crescent--mesopotamia/

SKEPTICS OFTEN claim that the Hebrew Bible must have been copied from older Mesopotamian texts. Frankly, this is lazy thinking by people looking for excuses not to deal with God. Our Iron and Myth crew joins us to discuss the relationship between the Bible and Mesopotamian religion: Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim, Chronicles of the Watchers, the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and a forthcoming novel based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea. Sadly, Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net) was unable to join us this month. We discuss the parallels between creation stories from different cultures, including Mesopotamian and Mesoamerican myths, and the implications of these similarities for understanding the Bible. We dig into the nature of myth and history, the importance of context in biblical interpretation, and the need for a nuanced approach to understanding ancient texts. There is an intricate relationship between myth and history, particularly in the context of biblical narratives. It's important to understand ancient texts through the lens of genre and cultural context, and at the end of the day the Bible's authority does not negate the value of other literature.

En esa época, Jerusalén fue atacada, el Templo destruido y el pueblo llevado cautivo. En 2019, investigadores de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos, hallaron evidencias de la conquista de Jerusalén por los babilonios, (cenizas, flechas y pedazos de vasijas) tal como está descrito en la Biblia. Babilonia fue también un importante centro de paganismo, y propagó el culto a sus dioses por toda la región. Pero en 539 a. C., la ciudad fue conquistada por Ciro el Grande de Medopersia.Cuando Juan escribió el libro del Apocalipsis, la ciudad de Babilonia era apenas una sombra de lo que había sido. Entonces, ¿cuál es la gran Babilonia, cuya caída es anunciada por el segundo mensaje angélico? Babilonia había sido para el pueblo de Dios un símbolo de opresión, confusión y paganismo. En el libro del Apocalipsis, tiene el mismo significado. Por lo tanto, el mensaje del segundo ángel es un mensaje de esperanza para el pueblo de Dios de que la oposición mundial a su ley y la confusión religiosa pronto llegarán a su fin. Dios nos ha dado la misión de llevar el mensaje de los tres ángeles a todas las personas, sin distinción. ¿Cómo difundirás hoy este mensaje?

Psalm 137 is a poignant and emotionally charged song of lament that expresses the deep sorrow, anger, and longing of the Israelites during their exile in Babylon. It is one of the most vivid depictions of the pain of exile and the yearning for Jerusalem in the entire Bible. This psalm contrasts sharply with others that express joy and thanksgiving, instead focusing on themes of suffering, loss, and a desire for justice. Structure and Themes: 1.The Sorrow of Exile (Verses 1-4): The psalm opens with a scene by the rivers of Babylon, where the Israelites are depicted as sitting and weeping when they remember Zion (Jerusalem). The rivers likely refer to the Euphrates and Tigris, which surrounded the land of their captors. •“By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.” (Verse 1) The weeping of the Israelites shows the depth of their grief, not only for the destruction of their homeland but also for the loss of their connection to the temple and their cultural identity. In exile, they are asked by their captors to sing “songs of Zion,” but they refuse. They find it impossible to sing songs of joy and worship in a foreign land, highlighting the dissonance between their current reality and their spiritual heritage. •“How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?” (Verse 4) 2.The Yearning for Jerusalem (Verses 5-6): These verses reflect the deep connection between the people and Jerusalem, especially as it was the center of their religious and national life. The psalmist declares a vow to never forget the city, emphasizing that Jerusalem holds a central place in their hearts and memories. •“If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you…” (Verses 5-6) These strong words express the psalmist's undying loyalty to Jerusalem. Forgetting Jerusalem would be akin to losing a fundamental part of their identity. The right hand represents the ability to work or create, and the tongue represents the ability to speak or sing, both of which would be rendered useless if the memory of Jerusalem were lost. 3.A Cry for Justice and Vengeance (Verses 7-9): The final verses shift in tone, moving from sorrow to a cry for justice, even vengeance, against the enemies of Israel. The psalmist calls upon God to remember the actions of the Edomites, who are accused of encouraging the Babylonians to destroy Jerusalem, and to bring judgment on Babylon itself. •“Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. ‘Tear it down,' they cried, ‘tear it down to its foundations!'” (Verse 7) The most challenging part of the psalm comes in verses 8-9, where the psalmist invokes a curse on Babylon, wishing for the destruction of their enemies and even the violent death of their children. This is a raw expression of the pain and anger felt by the exiles. •“Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” (Verses 8-9) These verses reflect the harsh realities of war and exile, as well as the deep desire for retribution against those who caused immense suffering. Though jarring to modern readers, this cry for vengeance must be understood in the context of the brutal experiences of the Israelites during their conquest and exile. Significance: Psalm 137 captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of a people in deep distress and exile. It is an expression of grief, longing for home, and a plea for divine justice in the face of suffering. The psalm reveals the psychological and spiritual toll of being uprooted from one's homeland and oppressed by foreign powers. •Themes of Memory and Identity: The psalm emphasizes the importance of remembering Jerusalem, symbolizing the persistence of faith and cultural identity, even in the face of suffering and displacement. •Lament and Justice: The desire for justice, even in the form of vengeance, reflects the human need for resolution after great wrongs. While the violent imagery is difficult, it illustrates the depth of pain and anger the Israelites felt, calling upon God to address the wrongs done to them. In summary, Psalm 137 is a somber reflection on the agony of exile, the longing for home, and the desire for justice. It is a powerful reminder of the emotional and spiritual costs of displacement, while also pointing to the importance of memory and identity in maintaining hope amid suffering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Today's Tigris and Euphrates don't match the description of the rivers of Eden. So why do they have the same names?

Daniel Chapters 6-10 Q&A: Lions, Beasts, and Angelic Beings, Oh My!In this episode of Sacrilegious Discourse, your favorite heathens dive into the bizarre and bewildering chapters of Daniel Chapters 6-10. Buckle up as we unravel the madness of lion's dens, cryptic visions, and angelic encounters that leave us scratching our heads and questioning our sanity.We kick things off with Daniel Chapter 6, where Daniel's infamous trip to the lion's den gets an unexpected twist. Why were the families of Daniel's accusers punished so harshly? It's a question that even the Bible doesn't seem to answer. We then transition into Daniel's surreal visions in Chapters 7-10, featuring beasts with multiple horns, a bear with ribs in its mouth, and a leopard with four heads and wings. Confused? So were we!Chapter 7 introduces us to four mysterious beasts representing different kingdoms, each more perplexing than the last. We break down the symbolism and attempt to decode the cryptic messages hidden within these visions. Moving on to Chapter 8, we encounter a ram and a goat in a prophetic showdown that leaves us pondering the historical and future implications.Chapter 9 brings us to Daniel's intense prayer and the infamous "70 weeks" prophecy. Is it weeks, years, or something else entirely? We try to make sense of the convoluted timeline and its supposed connection to the coming of the Messiah. Finally, in Chapter 10, Daniel has a terrifying encounter with a celestial being by the Tigris River, setting the stage for even more divine drama in the chapters to come.Whether you're here for the theological deep dive or just the laughs, this episode has a bit of everything. Tune in as we dissect Daniel Chapters 6-10 with our signature blend of skepticism and humor.Visit us at: SACRILEGIOUSDISCOURSE.COM and join us on Discord, where we interact the most AND have live episodes every Wednesday: https://discord.gg/VBnyTYV6nC Join Acast+ to enjoy our podcast adfree! https://plus.acast.com/s/sacrilegiousiscourse.

On this episode, we were joined by Booker Prize-shortlisted author Elif Shafak to discuss There Are Rivers in the Sky, her centuries-spanning new novel that follows three historical characters connected by ancient bodies of water. We cover matters great and small, from the idea of water as a holder of memory to whether Elif is the type of person who will dispose of a tea mug or article of clothing once there is visible damage to it. We explore her relationship with The British Museum, inevitably weighing in on the much-politicised Elgin Marbles debate, and whether cultural artefacts belong to a region's government or its people. Finally, we discuss Elif's years of investigation by the Turkish government following the publication of The Bastard of Istanbul, with its depiction of the Armenian Genocide, and the surreal nature of seeing your fictional characters be put on trial in a court of law.Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.

Show Notes This week on MSB: Victory Gundam episode 22. Welcome back to the Tigris-cast featuring Tigris. This week, special guests Nina and Thom stop by to chat about Gundam, the Tiger of Space, yet another stoic 30-something-year-old antagonist with a lesson to impart, and the worst group project ever. Plus we talk about names both new and old, inexplicable translation changes, and a turtle with pretty good energy. Please listen to it! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

Show Notes Friends, Tigris, our 18-year-old podcat, has been very sick all week and we're not sure at this point whether she will be able to pull through. Between worrying about her, taking care of her, and making sure she can see a veterinarian, we haven't had much time to work on the podcast. We're hopeful that we'll be able to share good news with you in the episode next week. For now we hope you all have a good week, and if you have pets of your own, please let them know how much you love them. Thank you for your patience and your support, Nina and Thom

Genesis 2:8-14 8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

Underlying the political and religious differences that have provoked centuries of unrest in the Middle East and North Africa is the landscape—an austere region of desert and mountains, transected by great rivers: the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates. This environment, along with centuries of cultural exchange, accounts for a rough musical unity across countries and ethnicities. Thus the music of Turkey, Israel and Palestine has similarities with the Arabic and Berber music of North Africa, and the Persian traditions of Iran. Today, progressive artists working within these traditions have created a Virtual Middle East, a cultural blend that effectively ignores ethnic, religious and political differences, and brings us an image of what a peaceful future in the region might sound like. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, soulful sounds from the Virtual Middle East, on a program called DESERT SOUL. Music is by MICHEL BANABILA, DHAFER YOUSSEF, MARJAN VAHDAT, NIYAZ, ARCHETRIBE, and ANOUAR BRAHEM. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Al despuntar el siglo VII el imperio romano de Oriente, más conocido desde hace tres siglos como imperio bizantino, era lo más parecido al centro del mundo. Su capital, la ciudad de Constantinopla, tenía más de medio millón de habitantes y era un emporio comercial y cultural de primer orden, el más importante del Mediterráneo. Desde allí se gobernaba un imperio inmenso que iba desde la costa sur de Hispania hasta los desiertos de Oriente Medio y desde el valle del Danubio hasta el del Nilo. Como poder hegemónico Bizancio marcaba las modas y extendía su influencia mucho más allá de sus fronteras. Pero el trono lo ocupaba un emperador no especialmente popular, Focas, un militar que en el año 602 había depuesto a Mauricio, el último emperador de la dinastía justiniana. Fue en ese momento cuando apareció Heraclio, hijo del exarca de África que alentó una revuelta contra Focas y reclamó el título imperial. Heraclio heredó un imperio en crisis, amenazado por los persas sasánidas por el este y los ávaros por el norte, pero tenía voluntad de devolver a Bizancio su antiguo esplendor. No fue asunto sencillo. Durante el reinado de Focas el imperio había perdido el pulso y cedía en todos los frentes. Los persas de Cosroes II se habían apoderado del Levante y se habían abierto camino por Anatolia hasta el Bósforo. La mismísima Constantinopla llegó a estar bajo asedio, pero la ciudad estaba bien protegida por sus imponentes murallas y una gran armada. Heraclio rechazó a los persas y pasó al contraataque. Pero era mucho el trabajo pendiente. Reorganizó el ejército y se lanzó contra los persas, a quienes terminó venciendo tras una serie de campañas victoriosas que consumieron varios años. Llegó incluso a tomar y saquear el palacio de Cosroes en Dastagird, a orillas del Tigris. Aquello le costó la corona al emperador persa, que fue derrocado por su hijo, Kavad II, quien suplicó un tratado de paz a los bizantinos. Heraclio fue magnánimo y se lo concedió, pero sólo a cambio de que se retirasen de todos los territorios que habían ocupado. Se reservó también el título de rey de reyes que tradicionalmente llevaban los monarcas persas. Esa victoria le consagraría como el gran restaurador que aseguró la pervivencia del imperio. Para celebrarlo devolvió la Veracruz a Jerusalén y adoptó el título de Basileus, una palabra griega que significa soberano y que los emperadores de Bizancio utilizarían durante ocho siglos. Pero la prolongada guerra entre persas y bizantinos dejó exhaustos a ambos. Apareció entonces otra amenaza en los confines sudorientales del imperio, la de los árabes que, acaudillados por el califa Umar, penetraron en territorio bizantino y conquistaron en un periodo muy corto de tiempo Siria, Egipto, Armenia y Mesopotamia. El imperio persa sucumbió, el bizantino consiguió resistir, pero despojado de sus regiones más ricas y pobladas. A pesar de las pérdidas territoriales, Heraclio dejó un magnífico legado que permitió que Bizancio sobreviviese al huracán desatado en el desierto arábigo a mediados del siglo VII. El islam se expandió en todas direcciones, pero no consiguió rendir a los bizantinos, en buena medida por las reformas militares y administrativas que Heraclio puso en marcha. A él se debe, por ejemplo, que el griego se convirtiese en la lengua imperial por encima del latín, o que el corazón del imperio se trasladase a Anatolia y el sudeste de Europa. El Bizancio medieval nació con él y su dinastía. Durante siglos los reyes latinos de Occidente le profesaron una rendida admiración, le consideraban el príncipe cristiano por excelencia y así lo hicieron ver en cuadros y esculturas. Todos en mayor o menor medida se sentían herederos de Heraclio, al que tenían como el primer cruzado. Pues bien, para abordar esta interesantísima figura nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria José Soto Chica, un sabio de nuestro tiempo que ya ha pasado por el programa en otras ocasiones, una de ellas hace un par de años para hablar del imperio bizantino.

When one thinks of Iraq, they likely aren't considering it as their next holiday destination. Those more familiar with the country know its location in the Fertile Crescent was responsible for the earliest human civilizations to call Iraq home. But one must also wonder if decades of war has left any remaining history of ancient Babylonia available for tourists to visit. Is it even secure enough to explore the sites along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers or the more mountainous regions of the north, where ethnic Kurds offer altogether different cultural experiences. Today we'll find out when we discuss Travelling Iraq with John Fiddler.

doing Torah time III - Genesis of AnthropologyWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/studio/?dtt-creationNetwork: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4FreedomRomans 1:18-2218 What is revealed is God's anger from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness keep suppressing the truth; 19 because what is known about God is plain to them, since God has made it plain to them. 20 For ever since the creation of the universe his invisible qualities — both his eternal power and his divine nature — have been clearly seen, because they can be understood from what he has made. Therefore, they have no excuse; 21 because, although they know who God is, they do not glorify him as God or thank him. On the contrary, they have become futile in their thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they have become fools!https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A26-27&version=CJBGenesis 1:26-2726 Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth." 27 So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.Genesis 1:28-3128 God blessed them: God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth." 29 Then God said, "Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. 30 And to every wild animal, bird in the air and creature crawling on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I am giving as food every kind of green plant." And that is how it was. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good. So there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.Genesis 2:1-3Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, along with everything in them. 2 On the seventh day God was finished with his work which he had made, so he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day God rested from all his work which he had created, so that it itself could produce.Genesis 2:4-64 Here is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created. On the day when Adonai, God, made earth and heaven, 5 there was as yet no wild bush on the earth, and no wild plant had as yet sprung up; for Adonai, God, had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no one to cultivate the ground. 6 Rather, a mist went up from the earth which watered the entire surface of the ground.Genesis 2:7-97 Then Adonai, God, formed a person from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that he became a living being. 8 Adonai, God, planted a garden toward the east, in 'Eden, and there he put the person whom he had formed. 9 Out of the ground Adonai, God, caused to grow every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.Genesis 2:10-1710 A river went out of 'Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided into four streams. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it winds throughout the land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there. 13 The name of the second river is Gichon; it winds throughout the land of Kush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it is the one that flows toward the east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates'. 15 Adonai, God, took the person and put him in the garden of ‘Eden to cultivate and care for it. 16 Adonai, God, gave the person this order: "You may freely eat from every tree in the garden 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You are not to eat from it, because on the day that you eat from it, it will become certain that you will die."Genesis 2:18-2018 Adonai, God, said, "It isn't good that the person should be alone. I will make for him a companion suitable for helping him." 19 So from the ground Adonai, God, formed every wild animal and every bird that flies in the air, and he brought them to the person to see what he would call them. Whatever the person would call each living creature, that was to be its name. (S: iii) 20 So the person gave names to all the livestock, to the birds in the air and to every wild animal. But for Adam there was not found a companion suitable for helping him.Genesis 2:21-2421 Then God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the person; and while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which he took it with flesh. 22 The rib which Adonai, God, had taken from the person, he made a woman-person; and he brought her to the man-person. 23 The man-person said, "At last! This is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. She is to be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." 24 This is why a man is to leave his father and mother and stick with his wife, and they are to be one flesh.Genesis 2:25They were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.

...Ninkasi, you are the one who pours out the filtered beer of the collector vat,It is (like) the onrush of the Tigris and the Euphrates.Hello! The lines above are from a brilliant Assyrian hymn to the Goddess of the brewing process: Ninkasi. Also a good set of instructions on how to make beer!Aside from beer, there are many other inventions that Sumerians are credited with. But there is not enough time in my lifetime to write everything about Mesopotamian food!From Sumerians, to Akkadians to Assyrians and Babylonians, we're talking about civilizations and empires that lasted roughly four thousand years. More time has elapsed from the first cuneiform clay tablet in 3200BCE -when writing was invented- till the last tablet around 1st century AD, than from the last until today. What were their recipes? How do we know? And what about their food production systems and first documented agricultural practises?Enjoy!As you usual, if you want to contribute and help me do this podcast you can support me on Patreon.

This is the tale of a people who once lived under the rule of a megalomaniacal leader who shaped the state in his own image; a people who watched a foreign army invade, topple that leader, demolish the state, and then invent a new country; who experienced the horror of having their home fragmented into a hundred different cities. When the “Shock and Awe” campaign began in March 2003, Abdul-Ahad was an architect. Within months he would become a translator, then a fixer, then a reporter for The Guardian and elsewhere, chronicling the unbuilding of his centuries-old cosmopolitan city. Beginning at that moment and spanning twenty years, Abdul-Ahad's book centers on the West and in its place focuses on everyday people, soldiers, mercenaries, citizens blown sideways through life by the war, and the proliferation of sectarian battles that continue to this day. Here is their Iraq, seen from the inside: the human cost of violence, the shifting allegiances, the generational change. 1932 Tigris
