    In high school, my friends and I found a poem about "the seven" in a book of ancient poetry from our school library. It was the most metal thing. I couldn't find it again when I looked after college. They are seven, they are seven, they are seven times seven

      did ancient people not believe in spirits? is it not important to learn the superstitions of these people to understand their mind set? if you study the events of history but not the religions or superstitions then you only understand half of the picture. this is an ancient text he is reading and the channel is called
      Ancient Recitations get it? you dont like it then find a different channel.

    To be honest, I did not see Sargon visiting Sacred texts website. I know it makes a lot of sense, as they have a great many religious texts from many different cultures, however it always will remind me of times I went there in my "angsty teenage rebel" days to learn some "magick", to cast fireballs.

    What exactly is a 'shibbu' and what is meant by 'a rampant'?

    • @kevinatenine9797
      @kevinatenine9797 Před 7 lety +1

      In Akkadian, shibbu translates to serpent. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by rampant but it could be a symbol for chaos and disorder.

      Dear Bas,
      Probably you will never see this given your comment is 6 years old but I'll take my chance.
      I was really into this poem a couple of years ago.
      From what I've found that the 'rampant' might be understood as treason/riot/mutiny.
      As for 'Shibbu' it is said to be some kind of weapon.
      I am amateur weapon historian for booth modern ordnance, medieval and ancient and I've never came across such weapon, but I have a theory that it can be a name of a weapon rather than it's type, just like 'Excalibur'
      P.S. Please excuse my grammar English is my secondary.
      P.P.S. If you are into classical music please check out 'Seven they are seven' by Sergiei Prokofiev. It is one of my favorite piece of music that has been ever created.
      Also there is also a song called 'Coven in Charring Cross' by the band 'Coven' and it contains an interpretation of the 'Charm against seven evil Gods'. It is a jazz/rock band and they are heavy into satanism if it is not a problem for you you can also check them out. Even through I do not condone their view (ironically considering my nick :D ) I really enjoy their music.
      Have an awesome day.
      Cheers!

      I hope that when we next check out Ravnica, that plotting lady who was Champion of the Orzhov succeeds in overthrowing them. Although I'm more of a backer of The Simic Combine, because Science, & the Boros Bros, because units.

    • @darkdave1998
      @darkdave1998 Před 7 lety

      Yeah seeing what Teysa is up to would be neat, but we've already did a Return to Ravnica, maybe we should revisit something else, like Dominaria, or Alara maybe?

    "Tearing the wife from the embrace of the man, snatching the child from the knees of the man, driving the freedman from his home." I may have gotten the quote a little mixed up, but its funny how that crops up. Destroying the family unit or the very concept of family, & universal freedom, is a cornerstone to evil in the world. And the is a constant, apparently, true then & true now.
    So while the notions of the beyond or the spiritual world don't really concern me too much, the real world effects of destabilising one's home & the basis for freedom are measurably detrimental to the cohesion of society at large.
    Of course, that's where I stop with measuring things objectively & feel the strong temptation to behead people who support dumb ideas that commit this very obvious ingredient of social discord all the way into government law-making or college environments. Traitors to the species, whether they know it or not.
