Digital Hammurabi
Where the Ancient Near East comes to life
The ancient world isn’t dead. You’ve just not been properly introduced.
Digital Hammurabi is where the Ancient Near East comes to life, through language classes, history courses, myth-busting books, and the kind of nerdy merch that makes assyriologists smile.
If you’ve ever wondered how cuneiform worked, what Babylonian poetry sounded like, or what on earth Gilgamesh was on about… you’re in the right place.
Meanwhile, the Digital Hammurabi Podcast is the creative outlet for two Assyriologists, Megan Lewis and Joshua Bowen. Driven by a passion for the ancient Near East and the belief that history is both important and relevant to modern life, Megan and Josh aim to break out of the ivory tower of academia and bring ancient Mesopotamia to the world! This podcast brings academic scholarship and interviews with researchers to your brain (via your ears) in an easily-understood format, so you can enjoy fascinating content wherever you are!
