Dr Irving Finkel, curator at the British Museum, explores why the belief in ghosts is what makes us human.
There are few things more in common across cultures than the belief in ghosts. Ghosts inhabit something of the very essence of what it is to be human. Whether we personally ‘believe’ or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them. They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries - yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th-century Gothic literature. But their origins are much, much older….
The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies takes us back to the very beginning. A world-renowned authority on cuneiform, the form of writing on clay tablets that dates back to 3400 BC, Irving Finkel has embarked upon an ancient ghost hunt, scouring these tablets to unlock the secrets of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians to breathe new life into the first ghost stories ever written. In The First Ghosts, he uncovers an extraordinarily rich seam of ancient spirit wisdom that has remained hidden for nearly 4,000 years, covering practical details of how to live with ghosts, how to get rid of them and bring them back and how to avoid becoming one, as well as exploring more philosophical questions: what are ghosts, why does the idea of them remain so powerful despite the lack of concrete evidence and what do they tell us about being human?

Great stuff, mein Geist. These exhibits (& so many more) are certainly worth checking out on a visit - with or w’out the ghostly dimension. Excellent exhibits also on the rich history & civilisation of the Jewish people.

Ah here, these nazis Within try to parachute their Jew hatred into every conceivable arena - whenever they see a perceived “trigger word” they unload their ignorant, destructive bile.

Finkel is a delightful author and narrator here, working terrifically hard to humanize people who have been dead for millennia. I highly recommend anyone who likes this to check out his other book, The Ark Before Noah; even if you don’t care a whit about the Ark, specifically, almost half the book is devoted entirely to a good grounding in Mesopotamian history and the history of cuneiform specifically.
