show moreA warrior god against chaos. A doomed empire cursed by the gods. Two of Mesopotamia’s most powerful myths—Lugal-e & The Curse of Agade—reveal the ancient world's views on divine wrath, empire collapse, and supernatural battles beyond human control. But what if these myths hold more than just stories? What if they reflect lost truths of history, fallen angels, or divine judgment?
📜 In this mind-blowing episode, we dive into:
🔹 Lugal-e: The Warrior God vs. Chaos – Ninurta vs. the monstrous Asag, a demonic force that warps the earth itself.
🔹 The Curse of Agade – When the gods abandoned Akkad, their empire crumbled. Was it divine punishment or a real historical event?
🔹 Gilgamesh & Lilith – A bizarre male counterpart to Lilith appears—what’s the connection?
🔹 Mesopotamian gods & Biblical parallels – Were they divine rulers, or was something else controlling history?
🔹 Stone monsters, reptilian demons, and the unseen war of the gods.
🔥 Was Ninurta’s battle against Asag a war of angels and demons disguised in myth?
🔥 Did the gods truly abandon Agade? Or was something far more sinister at play?
👀 This episode will shatter everything you thought you knew about Mesopotamian mythology.
