Atrahasis and the Anunnaki: The World of Gods and Men

Описание: Journey back to the dawn of civilization, where gods walked among humans and fate was written in clay. In this episode, we explore the ancient Mesopotamian worldview preserved in the Epic of Atrahasis—a powerful narrative that reveals how humanity was created, why the gods grew weary of mankind, and how a catastrophic flood reshaped the world forever.

At the center of the story stands Atrahasis, the “Exceedingly Wise,” chosen to survive divine judgment, and the Anunnaki, a council of powerful deities who ruled over both heaven and earth. We examine the tension between gods and humans, the burden of labor, the limits of divine authority, and how these ancient ideas echo through later flood traditions, including the story of Noah.

This episode unpacks the theology, symbolism, and historical context behind one of humanity’s oldest survival stories—where creation, rebellion, punishment, and mercy are inseparably bound. Was the flood an act of justice, a divine mistake, or a desperate attempt to restore cosmic order?

Listen now and step into a forgotten age where gods argued, humans suffered, and the future of the world hung in the balance.
