Plagues! Fires! Floods! Welcome to 2020 B.C. Thankfully, exorcists, amulets, and incantations abound in ancient Mesopotamia. In this episode we explore Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian magic and medicine in some of the oldest surviving texts in the world. When the gods themselves attack, who can save us?
Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben, featuring the voice talents of Gregg Adams, Kiernan Angley, and Jack Krause and original music by Purple Planet.
