The First Ghost Stories | Dr. Irving Finkel - Live Events

Learn how the near-universal belief in ghosts goes back to the beginning of time. Discover how the oldest known writing, in cuneiform script on tablets of clay, gives us a full picture of the ancient Mesopotamian ghost experience: who might be expected to be a ghost, how to keep the dead happy in the netherworld, how to banish annoying ghosts that keep appearing and how to summon the dead to come back and disclose the future. <br> <br>Thanks to the Iraqi American Community for their support in sharing this event. <br> <br>Follow Archaeology Now Houston <br>http://archaeologynow.org/ <br>https://www.facebook.com/ArchaeologyNowHouston/ <br>https://twitter.com/archaeologyhou <br>https://bit.ly/2XfhcFl
