Welcome to The Know Show.
The Know Show is a podcast that aims to make sense of the world, one guest at a time. Hosted by former private tutor Hussain, we break down mind-boggling academic research and challenge authors on their work.
Today’s subject is one that’s special to me personally. That’s because we’re talking about ancient Mesopotamia, which is located in my native Iraq. My guest is the erudite Prof. Andrew George of SOAS University. Andrew most notably worked on developing and authoring the translation of The Epic of Gilgamesh - which is the oldest poem known to man. His translation to date has sold a remarkable 250,000 copies. But what is more fascinating about Andrew’s work is how much in depth research he has done on the original tablets that date back several thousand years. This episode is one full of amazing stories of the past. Andrew gives us his insights on the Epic of Gilgamesh and what it means to us as humans when faced with the reality that we are mortal beings!
