Ancient Magic Rituals

What a fun and intelligent conversation I had with Irving Finkel, PhD, Senior Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages, and culture at The British Museum on the New Thinking Allowed YouTube channel about “Ancient Magic Rituals.” He says the ancients used magic for primarily benevolent reasons. He is one of the few people in the world who can read ancient cuneiform writing on tablets of clay.

Irving Finkel, PhD, is Senior Assistant Keeper of ancient Mesopotamian script, languages, and cultures at the British Museum. He is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection of any modern museum. He is author of several books, including, The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies, The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood, The Lewis of Chessman and What Happened to Them, and The Last Resort Library. The British Museum website is britishmuseum.org.

Irving Finkel shares the magical literature found in ancient Mesopotamia on tablets of clay with cuneiform writing in 2,500 B.C. that brings to life how the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians operated with primarily benevolent forces to nullify evil, drive out demons and ghosts, and navigate witches and wizards.
