Irving Finkel Writes In Ancient Cuneiform

The Ancients Podcast

In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Irving Finkel to uncover how cuneiform actually worked and how you would write it yourself.

More than five thousand years ago, a revolutionary script emerged in the fertile lands of Mesopotamia that would transform how people counted, governed, worshipped and told stories. This was cuneiform, the world’s earliest known writing system.

From humble beginnings as simple pictograms tracking beer and grain, to the wedge-shaped signs that recorded myths, laws and epic tales long before the Bible, this episode explores how cuneiform spread across Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and Persia — and why these clay tablets remain one of archaeology’s richest windows into the ancient world.

A Song of Praise II

[Verse 1]

I hear the choirs are singing,
From a thousand miles away,
They lift their songs of love,
To bless a child in prayer today.

Their voices rise like angels,
Merging with the morning light,
A melody of hope unfolds,
Guiding hearts through the night.

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

[Verse 2]

As I walk through gardens,
Of a lonely heart I tread,
My eyes washed with the teardrops,
Where love once gracefully led.

I ponder why she left me,
My queen of light and grace,
Her whispers now a shadow,
In this empty, hollow space.

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

[Verse 3]

Walking in the snow’s white blanket,
My heart turned into ice,
Drowning in the depths of silence,
Where love paid the ultimate price.

Yet in my darkest moments,
I heard those choirs singing clear,
From a thousand miles above me,
They whispered, “Hold on, don't fear.”

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

[Bridge]

In my need, a voice remembered,
From a friend who cared,
He found me in the shadows,
On this path that felt so bare.

We walked through star-lit nights,
Hand in hand through life's embrace,
Warmed by flickering candles' glow,
In mercy’s sweet, warm space.

[Verse 4]

As we shared our bread and laughter,
And the wine of love divine,
We danced in fields of longing,
Finding joy, and all was fine.

Till the morning sun awoke us,
With a choir’s vibrant play,
From a thousand miles they beckoned,
Praising the newborn day.

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

[Outro]

So raise your hearts and voices,
Let the praises fill the air,
For in the song of love and loss,
We find our strength, our prayer.

In every note, a healing,
In every word, the grace,
We sing our song of praises,
In this beautiful embrace

The ultimate box champion/ the greatest boxer of all time defeats every fighter easilly with his special techniques

Patricia "Boots" Mallory (October 22, 1913 – December 1, 1958) Born in Louisiana, and growing up in Alabama, she went to New York City to act, where she made a strong impression in the Broadway production of the Ziegfeld Follies of 1931. Moving to Hollywood, she found employment with Fox Films and was cast in the film version of Dawn Powell's play Walking Down Broadway.

This was the first sound film by Erich von Stroheim. He shared both screenwriting and directing credits and regarded Mallory as his discovery. The play told the story of a young unmarried woman involved in a love triangle who becomes pregnant. The finished film, however, strongly suggested a lesbian relationship between Mallory's character and the character played by ZaSu Pitts. Other themes in this version were seen as too controversial, and major changes were made to von Stroheim's story, including being released under a different name (Hello, Sister!).

Ultimately, this movie was not well received. In 1932 her second completed film, Handle with Care, was released and marked her debut. It was well received and Mallory was chosen as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1932, but the extensive media publicity surrounding her WAMPAS recognition, was undermined by the poor reception given to Hello, Sister! when it was finally released.

A tall blonde, Mallory was well regarded for her striking looks and was photographed by such photographers as George Hurrell. She also posed for risque lingerie photographs, and was painted nude by the pin-up artist Rolf Armstrong. At one point, she was married to James Cagney's lookalike brother William Cagney, an actor who later became a film producer for his brother. On radio she worked with James Cagney in productions for Lux Radio Theatre. She made her final film appearance in an uncredited role in the Laurel and Hardy film Swiss Miss (1938).

She and William Cagney had two children, fraternal twins Jill and Stephan. She was married to actor Herbert Marshall from 1947 until her death from chronic throat disease at age 45 in Santa Monica, California, in 1958.
