At this point, I’m just wishing for an 8-hour Dr Finkel ASMR vid. It doesn’t matter what he’s talking about, he’s so engaging!

[@martavdz4972]

"The stars only came at night in Mesopotamia." 😂 Delightful! From Czechia, thank you so much!

[@kidmohair8151]

Irving Finkle is our man, a hero of translating, and everything he talks about, is just so fascinating. (sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle)

DR FINNKLE LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[@ravenspace]

I just posted to farcebook saying 'new Finkel just dropped'

[@Akio-fy7ep]

I read of an early king who maintained four panels of seers, kept apart, and had them all give him advice independently. He discounted those that gave advice that didn't match any of the others. It seemed amazingly modern. But who was it?

[@SafetyProMalta]

Fantastic.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Dude is ONB!

[@cynthiaahern9081]

Dr. Finkel is one of those teachers that you wish you would have had in school. ❤

[@Green.Country.Agroforestry]

Thought: Star torch may be an apparatus designed to project a star map on the ceiling, enabling the ritual in daytime, in an enclosed room

[@LuDux]

Talk about ending lecture with the cliffhanger

[@jacquiecotillard9699]

I missed the second half of the lecture, seems to have been cut off sadly

[@ArchaeologyNow]

Never fear. It's mounted on KZbin

[@jamesharkins6799]

Fascinating. I just use a glass of water to invoke dreaming.

[@Steven-z9s6h]

What do you mean you don’t know why? My baby lion is gnawing on my wrist right now while I watch this

[@Machine9000]

This was great! Ive recently come to fully understand the role of polypharmacia in ancient cultures. The hallucinogenic useage was through the roof. Everyone was foing a form of it. This is ancient healthcare, which over time became ritualized and over time became just prayer. 😂 If you have ears to hear, and you truly KNOW the role of an oracle beyond what's discussed in this video, its so evident that meds were being used for "sleep visions". Health care back then was weird. How do you make an antidote for a.snake bite? You take amslave girl, around the age of 6, provide her with daily microdoses of venoms, and when she reaches puberty, you drink her fluids, even her bath water. She was now a priestesses, a giver of life. From virgin to priestess. All those animal sacrifices. Why? Extraction of stem cells from bone marrow. Infuse animal growth hormones into the wombs of pregnant women. Imagine mixing mammoth growth hormones into a baby? You may grow an anunaki 😅 Its all weird healthcare. Revered, ritualized, abused, made illegal and hidden. All those women in ancient healthcarw industry got screwed by Constantine. They got burned at the stake. Oracles, priestesses, godesses and anyone else who insisted on practicing this form of healthcare.

[@ramunaspovilanskas9944]

Is the term "mammoth" etymologically related to the Sumerian "mamu", i.e., a beast which comes from dreams?

[@me_josh]

What exactly is the anamiru plant name

[@politicallyincorrect2564]

A charlatan like Graham Hancock gets more attention than a legend like Dr Finkel.

[@stutzbearcat5624]

Because ... The bigger the bullshit - the more Americans love it.

[@garyfrancis6193]

I agree at 9:37 everything was black and white in the past as we have the photos, movies and TV to prove it.

If thou seizeth the iron whilst it is hot great wailings and misfortunes shall occur ;)

[@brettcross9941]

Finkle is Einhorn!

[@bruceplenderleith838]

sounds like datura

[@garyfrancis6193]

I thought Santa got a side job. Actually I’m two years older than Irving. If we had been primary school together I would have stolen his hat and run away to make him cry. Missed opportunity.
