Скачать или смотреть Growing Up a Priest in Ancient Babylon (and Why You’d Hate It)

Step inside the rigid, exhausting world of a young priest in the Neo-Babylonian Empire.
From the moment you’re born, you don’t belong to yourself you belong to the temple.
In this calm yet eye-opening episode, we explore what it meant to train for the priesthood in one of history’s most powerful civilizations:
The strict purity rules that shaped every breath, meal, and gesture
Endless bathing, shaving, fasting, and inspections meant to keep your body “bright” for the gods
Harsh punishments for even the smallest slip from sneezing in the wrong place to mispronouncing a sacred word
The education that turned boys into temple servants: hymns, astronomy, liver divination, and more
Drift off as you learn how discipline, fear, and ritual consumed every waking moment of Babylonian priesthood training and why only a few ever reached the hidden sanctuary of the gods.
