What Oldest Stories makes

Topics mesopotamia, ancient-history, mythology, historical-stories, bronze-age

In this podcast, you can hear the oldest stories still known, tales that have passed the test of time with flying colors, though usually because they were written down then buried for millennia. This show is focused on the history and myth of the Cradle of Civilization, bronze age Mesopotamia, beginning with the dawn of writing. The history runs begins in the mythic mists of 3000BCE and will continue until the fall of Babylon in 539BCE, with myths of heroes and gods, and tales of daily life peppered throughout. Never fear though, for your humble podcast host has taken these literally dusty old stories and breathed new life into them, or at least as much as I am able. So join me as I re-tell millennia old tales, making this possibly the most derivative podcast you have ever listened to.
