If that sounds like your thing, the Kickstarter ends on Thursday so make sure you check it out before then! You can back it and received a copy of the game for under 20 USD. And if you're not sure, then there's a demo available on Steam.

I talk a lot about the lamentable lack of Mesopotamian-inspired games and media, so it would be insane of me to not share this Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/myf... It's a Lovecraftian point-and-click mystery game with Mesopotamian influences (the main character is called Enheduanna!).

I got an email notification from our local health department that we have a confirmed case of measles one county over from us. I'm incredibly relieved that my kids have all been able to be vaccinated, but worried for those who haven't.

😂 absolute dick. Among other things, he kept Zimri-Lim's (king of Mari, ally of Hammurabi) army for longer than he said he would and then attacked Z.L. once the troops were sent home!

Not only was this absolutely fascinating, but Dr. Podany's enthusiasm is contagious. If I wasn't already obsessed with Mesopotamia, then I would be after that interview!

AND thanks to Eli Tadmor for pointing out on Facebook that the scribe at the back is likely writing on a wax writing board, not a clay tablet - I always forget those existed!

Megan Lewis @digital-hammurabi.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Going live on YouTube in 30 minutes to talk to Dr. Amanda Podany about the lives of ordinary people in Mesopotamia! Always been curious about how people like you lived 4,000 years ago? Now's your chance to ask an expert your questions!

This isn't the flashiest segment of a Neo-Assyrian palace relief, but I absolutely love it. It shows two scribes, one writing on parchment (probably Aramaic), and one writing cuneiform on clay. Little details like this make my heart sing!

Daniel Snell's "A New Workbook of Cuneiform Signs" is also a great resource for this type of study!

Megan Lewis @digital-hammurabi.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

That's an amazing book! Like other people have suggested, definitely start by choosing a specific time period; cuneiform changes a lot over the centuries and having a basic starting point of Old Babylonian, or Neo-Assyrian, is really helpful.

Did you know that the word for “god” is a plural in Biblical Hebrew? אֱלֹהִים (elohim) We know it's a plural because of the way the word ends. The "-im" sound is the ending that indicates masculine plural nouns - similar to the "-s" ending of some plural words in English, like "dogs"!

Rays definitely are awful, and if you ask my mum, Tims are likewise a bit dodgy. I married a Josh, so I'm biased on that one :D

As promised, registration for Biblical Hebrew is now open! Aimed at complete beginners, this class is a fantastic introduction to Hebrew - the professor's pretty easy on the eyes, too (it's not sexual harassment if I'm married to him).

A blurred image of Hebrew text is in the background. In the foreground are the words "Learn Biblical Hebrew with Dr. Josh!", followed by a blue arrow pointing to a photography of a man. He is seated, looking at the camera, and wearing a blue shirt with white spots and a yellow bow-tie. A blue rectangle at the very bottom of the image reads "Starts January! https://digitalhammurabi.com.thrivecart.com/hebrew1".

Having started Digital Hammurabi because it seemed like fun, and like a good way to fill the void of publicly accessible Mesopotamian scholarship, I'm actually now working on a business plan. Only 6 years after we started! Better late than never :D
