The First Ghost Stories | Dr. Irving Finkel - Live Events
Learn how the near-universal belief in ghosts goes back to the beginning of time. Discover how the oldest known writing, in cuneiform script on tablets of clay, gives us a full picture of the ancient Mesopotamian ghost experience: who might be expected to be a ghost, how to keep the dead happy in the netherworld, how to banish annoying ghosts that keep appearing and how to summon the dead to come back and disclose the future.
Thanks to the Iraqi American Community for their support in sharing this event.
Created with support from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
