Show notes
Lucas Cantor is a podcaster, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and speaker. He hosts his own show, the Book Society podcast, featuring weekly conversations with fascinating guests from diverse backgrounds.
Lucas and I are both hooked on great storytelling and popular history, and today’s conversation is a great example of how re-reading a book that we love draws us down a winding path of intrigue and ideas. Lucas has re-read Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization by Paul Kriwaczek several times, and we explore the reasons why this topic is so fascinating. We cover thousands of years of Mesopotamian history and mythology and Lucas makes some intriguing connections to Julian Jaynes’ 1976 book, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.
