if you assume he's correct in what he's talking about. This is almost entirely opinion, not fact, like most archeology is. Those guys keep telling us we couldn't build the pyramids today for example...we very well could, we just can not justify the expense of doing it which is very different from not being able to do it...and that's just one example of hundreds when it comes to this field.

1. There are not a lot of bronzes unearthed in Egypt. The latest archeology proves that they were built by construction workers, not slaves. Slaves can eat high-quality beef and can be buried near the pyramids. 2. There is no history of bronze wares in Europe, only a very small amount of bronze is fished out of the water or bought from the antique market, so it is impossible to measure carbon 14 (compared with Sanxingdui in China to see what bronze wares can be measured by carbon 14) 3. There is no such thing in Europe Astronomical calendar (there are many observatory sites in China, there are no such sites in Europe, and it takes hundreds or thousands of years of continuous observation, calculation, and accumulation to have a calendar) 4. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, and China has unified weights and measures for more than 2,000 years. Many instruments related to measurement have been unearthed in China. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, so where does advanced arithmetic come from? History cannot be recorded until there has been no change for thousands of years. For the above points, can anyone overthrow it? If it cannot be overthrown, then ancient Babylon (someone obtained a cuneiform dictionary and translated clay tablets?), ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece are all false. Ancient Rome was a very small place not a great empire, let alone a civilization. If you look at the technology of the Song Dynasty in China and the Sanxingdui site, you will know the reason. Note that the first steam engine-driven car was also in China, but it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty, the creator of civilization, was stolen by barbarian Manchus and European missionaries, and rewritten the real history. 6. If Babylonian civilization is as great as described in textbooks, why is writing still written on clay tablets? Why not use noble sheepskin? 7. There is no such a grammatical dictionary for cuneiform, which can allow ordinary people to translate these clay tablets into modern characters. If there is no such dictionary, then they can make fakes at will. The ancient nautical chart of ancient Egypt is marked as Babylon, which is the map of China 600 years ago(it was codified by European missionaries to 1601): www.loc.gov/item/2010585650/ This is a map of Europe:commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Geographia_by_Ptolemy,_Aphricae_Tabula_III,_1540_Basel_edition_-_Maps_of_Africa_-_Robert_C._Williams_Paper_Museum_-_DSC00625.JPG

Fascinating as always. Your lecture sparked a memory for me. I was about eighteen when "The Exorcist" premiered. I read William Peter Blatty's book once I managed to find the courage to crawl from under my bed. In the book, the demon, "Blatty derived the character from Assyrian and Babylonian mythology, where the mythic Pazuzu was considered the king of the demons of the wind, and the son of the god Hanbi." I remember clearly thinking why would a being so powerful fear a couple of Catholic Priests?? It didn't make any sense. I'm sixty-seven today and it still doesn't make sense. But it did make everyone a ton of money and scared the poo out of an entire generation 8-) Something I'm sure good old Pazuzu would take pride in. I get it now. Father Merrin skipped too many Akkadian language classes! 8-D

I suspect that a lot of modern people would recognize the image of the mass produced protective figurines as being angelic in outline, and it makes me wonder at any cultural connections between these and concepts like the Hellenistic guardian daimon and the later guardian angel.

I second the idea that The Exorcist is "most upsetting" and not worth watching. Another great lecture!

Great information. I am a major fan history and love to learn, but definitely no scholar. To me it’s fascinating to think of the beliefs and experiences of these people to lead to to such an interesting view of the supernatural.

Making ancient history sexy and intriguing as always. Be thankful for people who breathe life into such topics. It takes effort to compile and humanize lectures on these topics. Make them palatable to you and I. People like this make organic chemistry, electrical engineering, and mathematics, again sexy. Wax poetic about these people. Share them with people who do/don't deserve them. You never know who could be touched.

Professor Irving the White! :) Nice to have another lecture :) I wonder if it would be possible to hear about lilitu some day, and whether or not lilitu underwent a change after the change of the focus from early to later period. :)

My ancestors mentioned a "Crystal Dagger" in a story about Gen. Dobrius in the Enchanted Forest of Dobrigia. Is that relative to the one pictured at the beginning of this lecture?

Dr Finkel, thank you for wonderful overview. I hope that you will cover Babylonian Prayer/Demon Bowls/Traps, which had an exorcistic incantation inside and were buried upside-down under doorways and the quoins of houses. It appears that they needed renewal, but it was risky to remove them, so sometimes they ended up stacked together.

A Romanian incantation I remember from my grandmother, against "evil eye" (in popular belief, "evil eye" is inflicted by a random admirer, when the admirer is looking/stare at, and liking someone too much, this will make the admired person sick, give headaches to the admired, etc). My grandma was saying this incantation three times, fast pieced and in a whispered low voice, almost unintelligible to the enchanted: Ieși deochi dintre ochi, Din gene, din sprâncene, Din boierignimi, din bojogi, din ficați, De unde cocoș nu cântă, Fată mare nu calcă, Sa rămână [insert the name of the enchanted person here] luminat(ă), curat(ă), Ca de Maica Precista lăsat(ă). Ptiu, ptiu, ptiu! ----------------------------------------- In translation: Get away evil eye, From eyelashes, from eyebrows, From lungs, from liver, From where no rooster sings, And no virgin walks, So [insert person name here] to remain sainted and clean, As if would be from the Virgin Mary. Ptiu, ptiu, ptiu! (onomatopoeic sound mimicking spitting) :o)
