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!).

Join us on April 22nd for a special 'in conversation' event featuring @paulmmcooper.bsky.social and @moudhy.bsky.social Both authors will discuss their latest books and take part in a Q&A session with the audience Tickets just £6 on sale now www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/moudhy-al-...

He did not bend his neck

Just finalizing my questions for Wednesday's interview with Dr. Saana Svärd! I get asked about women in Mesopotamia a lot, so I'm really excited to be able to get some of those questions answered :D Join us at 11am EST, or watch after! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrjY...

Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy lapel pins with an "Indiana Jones punching fascists" vibe? Bonus points if the purchase supports anti-fascist work!

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!

Join me tomorrow at 6:30 UK/1:30 EST for a conversation with @badancient.bsky.social about his new book The Far Edges of the Known World www.youtube.com/live/SLo4rEt...

Wow I got the other half of @digital-hammurabi.bsky.social on the podcast this week! Some fun topics like Solomon’s temple, the time God couldn’t get hard, and that cheeriest of subjects, slavery!

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"!

NEW VIDEO! Our latest video is our best one yet! Check it out to learn about the scientific research into an old historical mystery: whether the prietess at Delphi was stoned on geological vapors? This was a fun one to put together! youtu.be/DWHkwsOIeI4

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).

@digital-hammurabi.bsky.social and I were so happy to catch up with our friends Dr G and Dr Rad! We gotta talk about Gladiator II now haha.

For those interested, we'll be opening registration for Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, Middle Egyptian, and Ancient Sumerian in the coming weeks! Classes will start mid-January :D

I finally launched The Bible Lore Podcast - the first episode (feat. Megan Lewis @digital-hammurabi.bsky.social) is about Hammurabi, privatization of economies, law codes, and more! The first episode is free, and the full interview with Megan is available for Patrons. patreon.com/biblelorepod...

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

Everyone should immediately go and follow Moudhy!

Well, hello! It's been a while since I signed up, and it seems like a good time to actually start using the account :D I'm Megan, I run Digital Hammurabi, and I'm here for all of your Mesopotamia-related needs and questions!
