Table of Gods hit its Kickstarter goal of $1 million in just 18 hours - surely a sign that we need more Assyriology in the world!

The thing I love about letters is that you get an authentic look inside people's lives from thousands of years ago, and what you see is that people are still people. Like Bahianu here, who is too scared to ask a woman out that he likes, so he asks the governor of Nippur to ask her for him instead.

Egyptian eschatological texts and scenes thus relate an understanding that the godless are “cooked” in the hereafter.

Ostin impulsiivisesti tän Karjalan, Kourin ja Mahlamäen (2024) ”Luovaa kirjoittamista tutkijoille” ja oon kyl ihan myyty tästä kirjoittamisen vertauksesta leikkiin… Etenkin jos tätä ajattelee yhteisartikkeleiden kirjoittamisen kannalta :D

Are you - or is someone you know - a PhD student or ECR working on Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age/Archaic Greece? And within striking distance of London to tell us about your research in May (we have some money to help with travel costs)? Please share! forms.gle/PijTVxb7a8Nh...

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair? Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.
