This episode is as much an intro to the ancient Near East to my audience as it is for me! I am jumping into deeper research, and in order to do that, we're talking about Marduk, the Akkadian god who defeated the sea and created the earth. You can follow the research from the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (ORACC), and read the "Poem of the Righteous Sufferer" to keep up with all the talk!
Thanks to Apes of the State for the use of their song Moments a Year From Now.
