  7. Demonic Exorcisms in the Temple Schools of Mesopotamia

    In the temple-schools of Mesopotamia, students learned exorcism rituals, how to mix healing atonements, perform astrology, and how to cure demonic possession.

  8. Sumerian Vampires Inspired Tales of Bloodsucking Baobhan Sith, Satan, and Dracula

    Many folktales, stories, and myths around the world begin with folk “straying from the path” and meeting beautiful females, only to discover that they are treacherous vampires. Since Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic horror Dracula, the silver screen has seen many versions of the vampire. In 1922, actor Max Schreck played Nosferatu, Count Orlok (Dracula) in a silent classic about the demise of Dracula, and in 1931 Bela Lugosi became the infamous vampire in what is regarded as the first legitimate adaptation of Stoker's novel.

    It is widely known these days that beer is one of the oldest beverages human beings have ever produced. Beer-related items and activities familiar to us today can be traced back to the ancient world.

  16. LOST STONES OF THE ANUNNAKI: And The Mind-Altering Journey To Find Them

    Why did the people who wrote in Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, or Aramaic in antiquity never find cause to write about the Sumerian Anunnaki gods as such? Gilgamesh was mentioned early on, the pre-flood Sumerian kings also, but not the Anunnaki, a name that was first offered up by academia and later made famous by Zechariah Sitchin. Why were the Anunnaki ignored by all until the rediscovery of the earliest written language, that of Mesopotamia, in the 19th century?
