Will you perhaps consider uploading an in depth/highly detailed analysis, research and background texts behind the language of Mesopotamia, (and its linguistics/how each letter/word may have sounded), as so forth I’ve sadly only found a few excerpts “if that”online, and it’s really jarring! However thank you ESOTERICA for all that you do input wise and creating a platform of solid/thorough knowledge of a plethora of poly-topics/subjects X

I've been taking organic tobacco, haven't got sick the whole time. My mom got sick & I made her organic tobacco tea, she was better the next day. Stuff is strong. I like to add some ginger, garlic & tumeric. Wishing you the best bro. "First, scientists engineer bacteria to carry the latest flu markers and wash them over Nicotiana benthamiana tobacco plants. The bacteria dump the DNA into the plant’s cells, which follow its instructions to churn out the flu protein. Technicians then grind up the leaves to extract the protein. Injected into a person, the protein works like any vaccine, training the body to attack the flu virus."

@@TheEsotericaChannel I know right? I wish I'd gone when I lived in Syria. In 2009, I actually got to see the tiny tablet from there containing the first "alphabet" in cuneiform that you mentioned, in the Museum of Damascus. They had it displayed behind a giant magnifying glass because it was so tiny. Kinda trippy something so miniscule can have such an enormous global legacy.

Snakebite, scorpion sting, evil eye, bad dreams, and invasions. Intriguing to compare the stresses of modern life to the litany of ancient worries and magical remedies! Thank you so much for your scholarship, humor, and wonderful, highly illuminating Esoterica channel!

Wishing you a speedy recovery from COVID. It lingers!

The Origins of Biblical Monotheism: Israel's Polytheistic Background and the Ugaritic Texts is a great read for those intesested in this area of study. I do love this channel.

Indeed, his breakdown is understandable and thorough. I got some serious manifestos on my joint that breaks down a lot of esoteric knowledge.

I find it so interesting that Israelite religion is formed out of ancient Canaanite religion, in fact at one time there probably wasn't a difference as Israelites are historically connected to ancient Canaan.

Well they did have the same believe system. The capital of the kingdom of Judea, Jerusalem, had Yahweh (which was simply one of multiple gods) as its patron god and when they got exiled and culturally surpressed, they became henotheistic (basically meaning that Yahweh was the father of all other gods, a bit like Odin in modern interpretations of Norse Mythology). I'm not sure if it was at this point (I really need to refresh my memory on Mesopotamian history) but the Israelites became iconoclastic, destroying all depictions of other gods and over a long period of time the henotheism changed into monotheism. You can see remnants of this in for example how names of what were previously gods were combined into names for demons, such as Beelzebub (though, this might actually be a Christian demon, not a Jewish one, I'm not sure but it's what came to mind).

I watched this with COVID, so I guess there is a connection. I hope you and yours get well soon.

This man needs a Podcast!

So sorry to hear you are ill. Hope you and your families recover soon!

Rest well and I hope and wish for your fast recovery!

It's been however many thousand years and we're still using the "hair of the dog" for a hangover cure ;) 🤣

I was reading about Phoenicians whole day, and now you put this on yt, thank you so much

"Disarming the bites of vipers" as it was described in Virgil's golden age, is a euphemism (disphemism? Kakaphemism?) that Ficino refers to in a really nasty way when discussing how the Golden Age (of the Messiah) has already come in DCR: "Look! Christians and Jews get along far more now than they used to! the Golden Age has already come!"

Monstermancy sounds like it should be a song by Lordi. You give us such an incredible opportunity to dive into ancient People's minds. Cheers.

I made it three years without getting it. Now I'm sitting in quarantine. Hope you make a speedy recovery. Thank you for all the work.

Wow, the 'hair of the dog' thing was a very entertaining surprise! It really is amazing how some concepts and ideas can linger in culture and just... persist. Not due to anyone taking any special effort to keep them alive, but simply due to most people not questioning their origin and applicability. I don't know very much about cultures as ancient as Ugarit and the Bronze Age, but I know there are a tremendous amount of ideas adopted for pragmatic reasons during the Industrial Revolution as factories led to booming and overcrowded urban centers which we simply... keep around. Even when those ideas harm people in the modern day, and every practical reason that justified them fell away a century or several decades ago, many people will step up to resist change simply because it's "always" been a certain way. It would make sense for things to persist for a long time if they had some grain of truth to them, or some lingering utility to people... but just having the words and phrases around and overheard seems to let them perpetuate themselves! Amazing!

The sacrificial tablet looks so much like a menu I had to laugh. And how old does this make “the hair of the dog that bit you” the best thing for the morning after? Crazy fun here❤

Thank you so much for sharing.

Brother, thank you for your consummate dedication to this channel and to us viewers! Heck, I would even go so far as to say we are a family! Get well soon.

‘Hair of the dog’ tidbit alone was worth the watch! Great content.

I’ve been waiting for this episode for weeks, if not my entire life! Thanks for all you do

I wish I could get my fundamentalist Protestant as well as Catholic relatives to watch this kind of video and learn more about the cultural context behind some of their own belief systems. Im pretty sure if you asked them about "the Ugaritic Cycle" theyd give you a blank stare. Im rather shocked by their apparent lack of curiosity vs me, the atheist. Its strange. Get well soon, btw! It struck me that going to the Temple of Asclepius would be the closest thing to a doctor for many of the ancient lower classes-literally a hope and a prayer lol. I suppose if that was the only thing on offer Id go to take my chances with Asclepius too.

Get well soon. Another excellent video

This is such an amazing channel. You have a gift for explaining these complex histories of these ancient cultures, you explain on a way that makes it easy to digest for us laymen. Thank you for the effort you put in to make these videosnn

There is a remedy where I’m from that after a night of drinking, you are supposed to drink a beer first thing in the morning if you are hung over. Drinking this beer is the: “Hair of the dog” (that bit you.) Who knew that this saying was really that ancient.

I've lost quite a bit of weight because most things taste awful and even inedible, like lake water or smoke. Although I'll admit I was already a picky eater due to my ADHD's sensory issues. But still, I hope that doesn't happen to yall. Also, thanks for this episode! I was so psyched when you posted in the community tab about it releasing soon.

The islamic Hadith literature seems to say almost the exact things: snake, scorpion, and evil eye taking center stage in the "magic" practices mentioned therein. Probably has cultural origins in these earlier traditions.

A lot of Islamic traditions are taken from Jewish and Christian practices of the time or from Jewish and Christian literature. Some cananite were more prominent in their traditions at the time and many are still important, especially in Judaism.
